Mr.. Berry called this "rhe white

City. scored the stateman's vague
and indefinite outline OF British war
aims. The letter which asks search
ing questions about Britains post
war plans for colored subject peo-
Piles follows:
I'VE wish TO congratulate you on
your very effective speech at the
Pilgrims dinner at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel in this city last night.
II was long step toward helping
the selfish interest In this country
to justify their ultimate entrance
into the war on the side OF Great
Britain. AS a PRONUNCIATION OF
British war aims however, Il was
very weak, vague, and indefinite. 1t
Is this vagueness so characteristic
OF all British pronouncements
WHICH convinces us OF their in
sincerity. This is the principle rea-
sen why we feel that the colored
people of this country and your
own colonies should be opposed
TO this war.
you spoke very very vaguely
about freedom. democracy. princi-
pies moral. religious and social.
about human rights and many other
things, but you were not definite.
Certainly not definite enough to
warrant Americans fighting and
dying to defend the system which
YOU represent.
when you spoke about freedom
and democracy. were you thinking
Of the fifty million Negroes In
Africa under British rule who have
no voice whatever in their govern
ment? Could you have had in mind
the colored people in your West In
dian possessions? Did you have in
mind the nearly 400 million people
in India?
Eve want to know definitely what
Britain proposes to do about the
freedom of these people. Are they
to be permitted 10 develop their
own countries in their own way. or
does Britain intend to continue sit
ting on their backs. This is a ques-
ton that interests colored people
everywhere. Unless they can have
assurance that they will receive
the same rights and privileges as
white people in the British empire,
they can have no interest in the
survival OF Britain"

There are huge ovens in the CnryS- Ter Body plant where the tempera- ture of bodies may be raised to any required degree, yet men passing through the even will not feel even slightly warm. They are used to dry moisture and in some cases enamel cn Chrysler bodies.
 These "heatless' heaters are in duction ovens which the familiar gas burners have been replaced with loops of wire that constitute in ef- feet a big induction coil. In addition. to being faster than older type ovens, the induced heat is produced in the metal of the body itself and comes from theinside out instead of the reverse.
 The induction ovens present an odd sight for there are no evidences of heat apparent to the naked eye just line of bodies traN cling through coil of wire. There is none of the inferno-like quality of gas type oven. Since there is no heat in the inside of the oven, none leaks out through the ends to raise the tenn perature of the surrounding air.

 FOR SECRETARY
Committee Recommends lions on Appropriations
 Boost Total S15,340

Left out of the general appropri- ation bill by the House Ways and Means Committee and voted down in House Committee of the Whole, a S1 ,440 item for additional salary for the Secretary of the Governor is recommended by the Finance Committee of the Senate in a re- port in which all members of the Committee concur.
 The Governors Secretary re- ceives a salary from the Federal Government, to which the Terri tory in past years has added $60 per month. The Senate Committee would continue to add this Terri torial contribution while the House is against it.
 Other recommendations of the Senate Finance Committee are that travelling expenses of the Attorney General be increased from $2,000 to 5000, that $13,CO0 be appro- priated for the Fisheries Experi- ment Commission, that the $250 ap- propriation of the Board of Law Examiners be stricken and that there be added $50 to compensate Senate President Henry Roden in preparing the Senate Journal after the session is over.
