GIN Loses 6 Per Cent
Interest Rate Appeal

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. - The
Supreme Court today denied
General Motors Corporation a re-
view of lower court decision up
holding a federal trade commission
order that the GMAC 8 per cent
interest rate advertisement for
financing retail sales of automo-
biles tended 10 mislead the pur-
chasing public into believing that
that rate was applicable on unpaid
balances. The lower court held
GMAC was engaged in interstate
commerce and then upheld the
commission cease and desist
order.

better than never. Too late is an
indictment on ones brains and in
tentions. We will have difficulty in
getting work and earning advance
ment so long as we do not appre-
ciate the value of time.
Even Though Doors of opportu-
nifty are today in many places, and
in the National Defense of all
places, closed against us we should
not thwart our ambitions or dis
courage our work of preparation.
Let US prepare ourselves and be
ready for the opportunity when it
comes. ......-...
The Signs of the Time indicate
all too clearly that the Negro must
compete on the basis of actual
merit for a chance to help do the
work of the world. This is exactly
as we would have it. So far his
opportunities have been limited to
sub-standard training which places
upon him a serious handicap. His
backwardness in technical skills is
the normal result of his sub-stand-
ard training. Fair play demands
that our government recognize this
handicap and give it's Negro citi-

Governments Derive their Just
powers from the consent of the
governed. The essence of democ-
racy is the effort it makes to give
the many voice. This does not
imply that democracy is necessari-
ly a tolerant form of government,
for the majority can be quite as
despotic as any monocracy. In
fact, democracies have a manifest
tendency to submerge the minori-
ties.

Editor: The Minneapolis N. A.
A. c. p. wishes to express its ap-
probation for the way in which the
Spokesman and Recorder handled
the news stories on the recent So
called "Jitterbug Heaven" case.
Although this expression reaches
you a trifie late, we individually
and collectively felt that from the
beginning your alert coverage did
much to- show how the daily press
was exaggerating the case out of
all proportion. We feel that you
did much to convince the thinking
white people of the: truth in the
case and how unfair the dailies
were in using racial designations
and how foolish it was to believe
that the women involved were inno-
cent victims. =. r.. '..,-
Matters of this kind require han
ding which are at once both care
full and courageous. You achieved
this by printing the real truth in
your news columns and expressing
the papers opinions in your edi-
torial columns, where they rightly
should be expressed.
Had the dailies done this instead
of using innuendos and malicious
distortions, there would not have
been so many unpleasant conse-
quences. We are grateful that our
paper, as always, was in the fore
front on the action for justice.
Yours very truly,
The Minneapolis Branch of the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
Carlyle F. Stewart,
President.
