What Is Segregation?

Segregation is the special Amer
lean means Of branding Colored
Americans as the interiors Of in
feriors in public status.
"When the white South found it
self confronted with the federal Sta
tus of equality for Colored people,
the former slaves-equality of citi-
zenship, of freedom Of franchise
rights, backed by the national gov
ernment-it selected the denial OF
presence and Of service in places
opened for public patronage as the
one great way to brand ColOred
people as having been a slave race
and make them forever the scorn Of
civil society.

minds of schoolgirls and debutantes.
Of course their fashion hobby at
present is the full peasant skirt

One of the most successful and
fattering fashions of the present
season is the basic dress made to
look important and lovely with crisp
snowy neckwear and other refresh
ing lingerie touches. There is no
greater favorite on the list of neck
wear types than the youthful looking
yoke collar These yoke collars do
something" for you. They come in
exquisite lace-trimmed and en-
broidered sheers, also in pique if
tailored type is your choice. A wide
lace-trimmed founce edges the en-

in an evening creation styled of a
splashy tulip print on a white back

effect is reached in the clever use of
applique cutouts from this splashy

NEW YORK, Aug. IL (N.AN.A).-
So far as this observer was able to
detect during stay of four and a
half months in the French West
African port of Dakar, the Germans
have not been using it as a base for
| surface raiders or submarines in the
! South Atlantic.
While in Dakar I saw no German
uniforms, nor did I hear any Ger
man spoken on the streets. l in

/ siderable Czecho- -Slovakian colony.
and others, and was told that the
public had no knowledge of any
Germans having arrived there since
the armistice. Whether any Ger
man naval personnel was at the
naval establishments. do not know
If there were, they did not circu-
! late in town.
Nor did see any German or other
than French naval units come in or
60 out of port. That would make 1t
unlikely that there was much sub
stance to the rllmors that Dakar
mad been serving as refueling base
for German raiders or submarines.
Only one French submarine supply
ship came into port during our stay,
the Jules Verne. on March "a, in
/ the company of few small torpedo
/ boats and cargo vessels. The Jules
/ Verne did not leave port again while
We were there.
Dakar Divided Into ; Parts.
Like ancient Gaul. Dakar, the
westernmost naval base within reach
OF the Axis powers, is divided into
/ three parts. These are:
/. The 5000 whites who either
J live in Dakar itself or come in from
the Senegalese hinterland's peanut
ranches and nut-oil mills. They
are anxiously awaiting the arrival
of British or American occupa tional
| forces.
2. The 10000 or more natives who
are indolent and live to eat and
sleep are generally completely un-
concerned with the political situa-
ton. Those with whom 1 spoke,
/ foremen, minor government clerks,
soldiers. etc, did not seem to care
much for the European war. They
might be called African isola-
! tionists"
3. The French naval hierarchy.
which, from admiral down to the
youngest ensign, including the ca
diets at the naval academy. are
pronouncedly anti-British. These
men it seemed to me, would be
willing to ally themselves with the
devil himself in order to administer
thorough beating to the British
Navy.
Clemenceau is Neutral.
The first person 1 met in Dakar
was Pierre Clemenceau, grandson
of the Tiger" and now the manag-
ing director of a large peanut oil
producing company there, COM
pletely retired from any contact
with politics. 1t was the day after
our ship, the S. S. Alsina, on which
we had sailed from Marseille
January Is enroute to Rio De jan
eiro, docked and we had received
permission to go into town an a
shopping tour. l was walking along
the main aisle of the Gallerie Lafay-
cite. that Partisan department store
which has branches in all of the
principal French colonial cities,
when a familiar figure attracted my
eye.
I had known M. Clemenceau in
France. His greeting was cordial
But he would not speak of the war.
He said: Il am a man of business,
Evening star., 1941-08-11

and I do not care what happens in
Europe"
But other white men in Dakar
were not so neutral. l talked with
many men on my almost daily trips
into town with my daughter, who
was also one of the $50 passengers
held on the Alsina, while the Vichy
authorities were trying to make up
their minds whether to let the ship
proceed to Rio de Janeiro. and risk
possible seizure by the British on
The high seas. or whether to turn
it back toward the AXis-produced
safety of Casablanca.
Take Dakar by Land"
Of course, I was making an effort
to continue our journey in any way
possible, in order to get to the United
States. I went daily to the various
bureaus. authorities and officials
whose task it was to grant exit
permits from Dakar and the entry
permissions into the other French
colonies one would have to cross

The British are such fools. The
attack on Dakar last year need not
have failed had the De Gaullists list
ened to us. 1t is overland that Dakar
must be taken, the Notifications to-
ward the sea are too strong and
the naval officers too British hating
If a landing had been made up the
coast ways. the entry of the Brit
ish and our free comrades would
have been a triumphal march. The
coastal forts? Well. the navy can
be starved out. They ought to get
a taste of what the 'Boches' are
doing to my family at home"
ITO He'll With Vichy."
Other officials were not as strong
in their expressions. but they gen.
orally looked on Vichy as sort of
foreign government of a foreign
country. In one instance I suggest
ed that something might be done
about my case if I asked friends
still in unoccupied France TO inter-
vene in Vichy. The answer was:
ITO hell with Vichy The Admiral
Darlan cannot dictate to me-"
In the naval establishment in
Dakar, despite the time that had
elapsed since the fall Of France and
the fact that there is no armistice
commission, considerable disorgani-
zation is the rule. 1t was only on
March 1l-six months after the
naval engagement undertaken in the
fall of 1910 by the British and Free
French-that the damaged torpedo
boat L'Audacieux was towed into the
