Kouibychev, USSR., May 7 CA.
N. P.)--There has just been pres
ented to me by an official diplo
matte representative of DeGaul-
les Free French committee in
Soviet Russia, Roger Garreau, a
little booklet in which amyng
other observations, some interest
ing and some not SO interesting,
its author gives due credit to the
role Of Africa in the present tur-
bulent world struggle.
"Watch Over Africa" is the
title of the booklet and its author
is Dennis Saurat, director of the
Institute Francois in London.
With all due credit to the figures
characterized in the tome such as
Gen. DeGaulle, Gen. Size and
others who are playing leading
and unselfish role in the Free
French movement to save Frances
from the Lavals, Petains and 9TH
er traitors, we must confess that
the most striking and attractive
figure is black Gov. Ehoue Of all
of Free French Africa extending
through the very heart of Africa
and from the Atlantic to Libya,
Sudan and the Nile country.
Eboue it was who was the first
governor to join and support De-
Gaulle and, as the booklet states,
"was to give DeGaulle the first
land from which England could
be helped, from which soldiers
could march out, from which
France could be reborn" In other
words it was a Negro, Ehouse,

2 The Barren Fig Tree wither-

audience of more than 1000 at
tending the opening service of this

Speaking at a city-wide, union
service in Memorial auditorium, he
declared that the American Negro
has great stake in the present
war, because "All that he has and
all that he ever will have, is in
vested in the United States!' The
deafening applause which greeted
this statement attested its popu-
larity with those present.
Tie noted prelate, one of the
pillars of this church, continued:
"The outcome of the war will
have a greater effect on the Negro
than anyone else. We're just
junior partner in this country, but
the Negro in America is the only
colored race which has ever got
up in the morning and looked a
white man in the face for SEQ
years, and lived.

is something we can contribute
which the world is going to need.
