SOFIA, Bulgaria, March A
break in British Bulgarian relations
was expected within SO hours today
and, as German reports sifted
through the capital that the r. A. F
was photographing the country ap-
parently in preparation for bomb
ing, more than 100 small pursuit
ships were lined up at a new emer-
gency airport here.
Coincidental with these develop
ments came two others:
A German diplomatic mission, be-
lieved to be bearing a message
from Adolph Hitler to Ismet 1nonu,
President of Turkey, landed by
plane at Ankara, the capital.
Advices from Bucharest said
Soviet Russian forces in Bessarabia,
lust across the Prut River from
Nazi-occupied Rumania, were being
reinforced.
will Leave by Week End.
British Minister George w. Rendel
told a neutral diplomat he had re-
ceived instructions from LONDON
granting him full freedom OF action
and was basing his decision on the
rupture on these orders. He ana
members of the Legation will go
to Istanbul, Turkey, by the week
end, he said.
The Polish, Belgian and Dutcn
missions decided late today to oreaK
off diplomatic relations with Bull
earia and leave for Istanbul Wnen
the British mission does.
Their decision was reached IN a
conference with Mr.. Rendel al
which the Greek minister also was
present. His legation, however, was
expected to remain, at least tempo
rarily.
The pursuit ships lined up for &C
ton were of German origin and hao
Bulgarian markings.
Great military activity went on In
Sofia. Nazi bombers and fighters
and transport planes roared across
the city toward the Greek and
Turkish frontiers near which the
Nazis have taken over the military
airports
bulgarian troops with full battle
equipment marched through the
streets for an undisclosed destina-
ton.
Roads were jammed with mud
shattered Nazi military vehicles and
staff officers were arriving.
Russia Hits Action.
The reports of Russian reinforce
ments in Bessarabia followed pubh-
cation of a Russian note to Sofia de-
claring the entry of German troops
into Bulgaria would serve for "eX-
tension of the war" and not for
consolidation of peace"
They came as Rumania's mobili-
zation was accelerated under the
direction of German staff officers.
Diplomatic dispatches from Buch-
Arrest said the Rumanian mobiliza-
ton, which began late in January,
was expected to bring 100000 men
under arms by Marsh Is.
Nazi Troops Pour In.
At the same time, German troops
poured from Rumania into Bull
garia and heavy Nazi troop move
ments were said to have started
again from Germany across Hun
gary into Rumania.
These reinforcements, diplomatic
sources said, apparently. are to re-
place troops being moved from per-

Senator Wagner, Democrat, Of
New York appealed today for enact
ment of the British-aid bill because
he declared an axis triumph would
imperil the Western Hemisphere and
the United States.
IF the axis powers win abroad"
he asserted, they will have won a
partial victory over us as well, be-
cause imperative military neces-
sites would make such vast drain
upon our resources and manpower as
to undermine our economy, our
standard of life, and possibly our
form of Government"

Wyoming who took the Senate
sharply to task for the amount of
time it had spent discussing the
legislation.
I'VE are now killing time" Senator
Schwartz chided, while the Ger
mans are killing English women and
children, and the aged and inflrm."
Senator Wiley, Republican, of Wis
consin, announcing his opposition to
the British-aid bill, asserted that
"if we put our fleet into the Atlantic
breach for Britain, Hitler may goad
Japan" into attacking the United
States.
O'Mahoney Amendment Studied.
Meanwhile, administration stra.
tegists, striving to hasten final &C
ton, were reported seriously con-
sidering an amendment guarantee
ing" that American armed forces
would not be employed in any de-
livery Of war materials to Britain.
This amendment, offered by Sem
ator O'Mahoney, Democrat, of Wyo-
ming apparently was designed to
remove one source of time-consum-
ing debate by satisfying the demands
of those who believe the bill should
carry a prohibition against the use
of naval vessels or American troops
to carry out the lease-lend program.
Senator Wagner called the pro-
gram the peoples last best hope,
short of war, to safeguard their
peace and security =. Its pas

United States"
In statement issued through his
office, Senator Wagner viSualized the
results of a British defeat
He saw the United States threat
ened by victorious axis powers along
both her Atlantic and Pacific from
tiers. He saw NaZi penetration in
South America with the same tech
nique that has been employed in
the Balkans. He saw the creation
of innumerable air bases south of
the Rio Grande available for attack
on the Panama Canal. He saw
highly subsidized economic warfare
against this country.

eff we let Britain go down now,"
he said, I'VE are deliberately select
ing a line of defense most advan-
tageous to our enemies, and we are
deliberately inviting war to come

In indirect reply to contentious
that there is no invasion danger,
Senator Wagner declared that it
would be "a shocking default of duty
by any public official charged with
national defense" to assume that the
hemisphere would be immune from

The Spirit OF
Fraternalism
By E. I. R.

BY e. I. r.
History shows that the spirit
of fraternalism has exist e d
throughout the ages of man. In
ancient times long before the
Christian era families were banded
together in groups to protect each
other. In the middle ages guilds
were formed for mutual protection,
to render assistance in times of
sickness and misfortune and to
enjoy feasts and other festivities.
In America Fraternalism began
in October 1868 when the first
lodge was formed and the first rit-
ual written. Today there are more
than one hundred thousand with
more than eight million men, wo-
men and children.
The Fraternal Order of Elks is
charitable, benevolent and protec-
tice. Many thousands of dollars
are spent during the year to give
relief to sick, distressed and I'm
fortunate members in times of
need. Through its social features
many from all walks of life may
meet together for common inter-
est. The rich man, poor man, beg
gar man fraternize on equal terms.
Together they may banquet, picnic,
dance and enjoy themselves in ma
ny ways. Some of our lodges fos
ter sports, bands, glee clubs, quar-
tettes, educational societies all for
the recreation of its members.
The ritualistic works develop
leadership, parliamentary training
and give a higher sense of citi-
zenship. Nor are their juveniles
neglected. The juvenile lodges
teach the youngsters self-reliance,
character building, thus preparing
them for entrance in the Frater-
nal order of Elks.
Like any other organization the
years of hard work, courageous
and untiring leadership and faith
full membership are buttressed
against a never firing selfish few,
who for the good of the order
ought to undergo a self-imposed
EMERSON.
Despite them, the I. B. P. O. e.
moves steadily on, impervious to
the attack of snipers. Every Lodge
of Elks should boast of its Legion
of Honor.

Globe Trotters
Have Lucky Mite

Score 1928 is just to let you
know they played a game of bas-
ketball. We really expected to see
the S. l.. Savidge-Alpine combina-
ton administer a spanking to the
basketball Houdini's. And, per-
haps they would have, had their
eyes been able to follow the ball.
Sure most of the spectators knew
where it was all the while, but
they couldn't tell the boys for
laughing. One of the Harlem boys
felt bad about it and placed the
ball right in the hands of the Sc
atle boys, but raced down the field
and prevented a basket.
Placing themselves in a COM
manding lead, the Harlemites
opened a bag of tricks that amazed
the players and spectators alike.
The more than 5000 fans went
wild with delight, even though 1t
was just another lucky night for
the Globe Trotters,
Undoubtedly the tricksters and
funny boys from Harlem furnished
the finest circus performance ev-
er shown in Seattle. If you missed
seeing them Tuesday night, I leave
you with the words of a spectator:
81 pray I will not die before the
Globe Trotters return, January

League didn't reckon without their

Industry And Trade Unions Force
Negroes To Stay On Relief

furniture factories, less than five
per cent; in the glass and soap
factories, only about five per cent;
in the suit, coat, and overall fac
tories, less than six per cent, and
In the electric light and power
plants and the automobile factories
less than seven percent. But in
each of the above named industries
the percentage of foreigh-born en-
ployees-many of whom We're and
still are ALIENS-ranged from
twelve to forty one per cent. AL
though Negro workers have never
been accused of SABOTAGE, this
condition is typical of the attitude
of industry throughout the country
with the possible exemptions of
the slaughter and packing houses,
cigar and tobacco factories, the
coal mines, the fertilizer factories,
the car and railroad shops and the
blast furnaces and steel rolling
mills.
Forced On Relief Rolls
The rather general criticism that
we constitute an exceptionally hea-
wy load on the relief rolls in var
ious states appears to be unfair
in the light of the treatment dish
ed out to our group by both the
employers Of labor and the trade
unions. A striking instance of the
result of this treatment was re-
Gently noted when the u. S. Civil
Service Commission announced
that there Is a great demand for
toolmakers for the National De-
Tense Program, and that about 600
appointments would be made in
one of the arsenals. Now, the re-
cords show that of the nearly 3d.
600 toolmakers in this country, less
than $50 are Negroes, but how
even this small number learned the
trade under the apprenticeship re-
gulations and practices of the In
ternational Association of Machin-
lists is still mystery.
1t Is therefore, rather encourage
ing to learn that thousands of our
young colored carollers in the CT
william Conservation Corps (CCC)
are now receiving training as semi
skilled mechanics, telephone line
men, road and bridge construction
workers, truck and tractor opeat-
ors, cooks and bakers, carpenters,
surveyors, welders, electricians and
radio operators. But will industry
and the trade unions permit them
to work in the factories and mills
throughout the country?
Is This Democracy?
Negro workers do not object to
the placement in industry on Nat
uralized foreigh-born citizens but
they are unable to justify the pre-
ferential treatment given to sew
eral million aliens, many of whom
have no faith or interest in the
ideas and traditions of the United
States. Until industry and the Ia
Dor unions give Negroes some SEM
blance of a square or new deal our
large mass of unemployed will ne
essarily be dependent upon the re-
lief rolls or organized charity. And
this is DEMOCRACY-or is it?

Anti-Hatred Ban Upheld In New
Jersey Bund Test Case

Newton, N. Judge ]. G. Losey
of Sussex County upheld the con.
stitutionality of New Jerseys
"race-hatred" statutes and sci
January 81 for the sentencing OF
Wilhelm Kunze, national German
American Bund leader, and eight
Bund associates on indictments
charging them with promoting
hatred against people of the Jew
ish religion"
None of the men was In court as
Judge Losey delivered half-hour-
long opinion, but their attorney
John Winans, filed an exception
Immediately and said he would
appeal.
Maximum penalties under the
law are three years in prison and
a $4,000 fine.
Besides Kunze, the men are Au-
gust Klapprott, of Andover, the
Bunds Eastern leader; Matthias
Kohler, of Irvington, state Bund
treasurer; Leonard B. Clark OF
New York, writer for the Bund
magazine, Free America; the
Rev. John C. Fitting of Union City
state Bund secretary; Richard
Scheile and Paul Schaarschmidt OF
Paterson, Carl Schipphorst of Glen
Rock and George Neuppert OF
Cliffside Park, trustees of Camp
Nordland.
Judge Losey's ruling was on de-
murrers filed by Winans from the
individual indictments. The de-
PENDANTS admitted the facts in the
bills, but commended they were in
sufficient to warrant prosecution
and that the laws under which they
were returned were unconstitution-
al.
It was the first court test OF
the statutes, passed in 1885.
The men were indicted last fall
on charges that speeches promot-
ing racial hatred had been deliv-
cred during a Bund rally at Camp
Nordland. Klapprott, Kohler and
Clark were charged with making
the speeches: the others, with per-
hitting them.
Wilbur v. Keegan Of West New
York, Bund attorney, also was in
dicted for permitting the speeches
put chose to test the indictment
by standing trial. No trial date
has been set.
Only the racial aspect of the
statutes, which prohibit melting
race or religious hatred, was in
volved, Judge Losey ruled.
Jews are branch of race,
he said. "One cannot help being
born of a certain race. The Jews
are entitled to certain rights and
privileges, and have the right tc
be protested from abuse, hatred
violence and hostility -"
