to them where darker races are
concerned.
England has no moral right to
control India, but India is a rich
market upon which Britain fattens
itself through exploiting a darker
race that seems hopelessly divided
by caste system. Just as South
Africa is crushed under the heel of
British Imperialism, India has
somehow managed to annoy the
yoke of Britain by producing lead
ers like Gandhi and Nehru who
were willing to sacrifice their lives
in the cause of freedom for their
people. South Africa has not yet
produced a black Moses to chal-
lenge the English.
During the last war, when India
furnished 100000 soldiers and
some hundreds of millions of dol
lars, the secretary of state for
India-an observation-disclosures
that there would be "a gradual de-
velopment of self-governing insti-
buttons with a view to the progress
sive realization of responsible gov
eminent in India as an integral
part of the British Empire" That
was the promise made when Ger
many had its bayonets at the Eng
ishman's throat, and he needed
India then as he needs her now.
Another war has come and India
is still chained.
There was nothing dishonest
about the promise made during the
last war, but it was not honestly
carried out in the new Government
of India Act in 1919. Hindus were
still far too sparsely admitted to
higher office in their own country.

Hanelujah!

Negro Press is dishing it up and
dishing it out. For the first time in
it's lis years, it's in a position to
shape events, and it's producing in
the clutches. White government of
ficials can't wait It'll Thursday to
grab NEGRO paper" and find out
how the wind of colored action and
thought blows. Office of Govern
ment Reports subscribes to 25 Ne
gro weeklies and two magazines,
and furnishes white and colored
government officials with thou
sands of requested clippings on all
subjects, many photostated in
quantity to supply demand.
Two of the "big four" Negro pa
pers have Washington editions and
offices. Another maintains Wash
ington correspondents. Associated
Negro Press has an Ace Cores
pondent in D. C.. and serves most
of the local papers including only
Negro daily paper in the world in
Atlanta. There are four tabloids.
Two editors have grown old in the
game and are near 80.
Dismayed, big white advertisers
find they can no longer dictate pol
icy of the papers. Every election
year the number of Negro papers
selling out to Democrats or Repub-
licans, decreases. With fine impair
TALLY, the editors give hell to the

Wants Wilkins to Name
Names
April 8, 1912.

Aprll 8, lS4z.
Editor: Reference is made to
the reprint in the Spokesman of
April 3rd of an article by Roy
Wilkins.
l agree with the attitude ex-
pressed by the majority of the Ne
groes attending the conference in
Washington on March goth that
our government must afford all of
its citizens democracy before it has
the right to expect enthusiastic
support for the war from all.
I complain, however, to Mr..
Wilkins evasive reporting when
he states: "That only one man
spoke out-for 100 per cent bury
ing of the complaints of the race
and 100 per cent war against Hitler
and Japan, with the settlement of
complaints after the war"
1 feel that it is the duty and of
the essence of good accurate report
ing to actually name those urging
such conduct. Wilkins readers are
entitled to know who among the
alleged leaders are again ready to
accept promises for future delivery
of all too needed present rights.
And we are also entitled to know
the names of the organizations per-
hitting representation by such a
Judas.
When the press gives such full
information, regularly and without
equivocation, those kind of spokes-
men will soon be discredited and
men and women appreciative of the
responsibility of leadership will
come to the front to demand fear
lessly those privileges of Ameri-
can citizenship, which have all too
long been denied to the Negro
people.
1t seems incumbent upon the

ISAAC BUTLER

Isaac Butler, 2316 9TH Ave. &c.,
died on Friday, March 81. He was
born in Providence, Victoria, B. c.,
and served as an engineer in the
merchant marine for about 80
years.
Surviving Mr.. Butler are broth

ton. For many years he made his
home with Mr.. and Mrs. J. Kintch-
low. Neal Funeral Home was in
charge.

ed was simply political independ-
ence, and the riots and outrages
House of Commons, but the British
politicians admired him for his
firmness in handling the India stu
alton" and subscribed $4,000 as a
gift to him. Of course, they as
sessed the Hindus to pay General
Dyer for killing them.
Gandhi, an Englsh-trained Hindu
lawyer and hitherto very friendly
to the English-he recruited for
them during the last war-was en-
joying considerable prestige in the
Indian National Congress when the
last promise of "self-government"
was made. When Gandhi called for
a showdown after the Kaiser had
been whipped, Britain's mind went
continued until the British sent
commission under Sir John Simon
to investigate.
The Hindus complained that they
were not represented on the Brit
ish commission, and when it vague
ly reported that it was desirable
that India should gradually attain
the status of a Dominion - like
Canada and 'Austraha-the Nation
al Congress, again led by Gandhi,
demanded complete self-govern-
ment at once. A campaign of Civil
Disobedience" and boycott was
started and in that year more than
$4,000 Hindus were fined, or like
Gandhi himself, imprisoned. The
most powerful political party in
England is, and has been for many
years, the Conservative Party,
which cherishes the medieval max
i'm that what we have we hold" or
that no part of the Empire shall be
lost. The freedom of India, there
fore, is essentially a struggle of
Hindu and British Conservative
politicians. India has many political
plums which can be traded for
strength and power in Parliament.
India has no faith in Winston
Churchill, whom they term "solid
white god, functioning in the inter-
est of white people only" Then Mr..
ChurchilPs first speech in Wash
ington was commented on in India.
He said: "The British and Ameri-
can peoples will for their OWN
SAFETY and the good of all walk
together side by side in MAJESTY,
justice and peace" An England,
United States, walking together in
majesty" can only mean to the
darker people of India a white i'm
perialism more dangerous to them
than the stewardship of Japan with
it's yellow Imperialism.
These are some of the problems
that Sir Stafford Grips is facing
now in trying to win over India to
the English cause. He has wired
back for more power to make more
promises. But India is holding his
feet to the fire-with the threat of
Japan's bayonets only a hundred
miles away. Lies, they say, can be
laughed off, but truth is a sober
thing. India wants the truth now,
and Mr.. Churchill is worried, be-
cause Japan says it will give India
today what England promises it
tomorrow-self-go government.

The white boys from England were
crowding in and getting all the fat
salaries from the fruits of midas
labor. There followed the epidemic
of riots and outrages which culmi-
mated in the crime of Amritsar.
General Dyer-the Iron-fst-has-
tily ordered his troops to fire upon
the crowd, killing 400 Hindus, and
he was not only absolved by the
blank on the issue and they told
Gandhi to go home and be a good
fellow and advise his dark COM
panions likewise.
He proposed to meet the English
with what he called Spiritual
force: to boycott their schools,
stores, law courts, etc. The mass of
Hindu people, not being so spiritual
as the Mahatma, put too much
vigor into the campaign against
the British, and it failed, and
Gandhi went to Jail for two years.
In his homeopathic policy he at
tributed its failure to his own i'm
perfectness in the spiritual life,
and Gandhi retired from politics
for six years.
The program which Gandhi adj
vocated comprised the revival of
native weaving, a long drawn out
process against the British sweat
shop method; the suppression of
alcohol and drugs, an equal moral
standard for men and women, the
unity of Hindus and Moslems
$4,000 of the latter were killed by
Hindus in one quarrel), and an end
of the ostracism of the 60,0O0,00
"untouchables" or natives without
caste. But what the majority want

People of all ages need calcium
and few today get a sufficient
amount of it for the greatest of

The best and the cheapest source
of calcium is in dairy products.
The lower the income for food
the greater the need for more of

YOU can make to improve your nutri-
ton in wartime.
Reasons why enriched bread Is so
significant today are also given by Drs.
r. R. Williams and R. NJ. Wilder in
the April, 1912. issue of the Journal
OF the American Dietetic association.
AS pointed out by these distinguished
authorities, enriched white bread looks
and tastes like the bread to which
we are accustomed, but contains the
vitamins and minerals natural to whole
wheat, thiamine tBD, riboflavin (B2).
niacin, iron and calcium.
Being more digestible and attractive
than average whole wheat bread, more
enriched bread is eaten so that greater
benefits are obtained from this nu-
tritionally modernized food. As previ-
ously reported in this column, enriched
bread Is now standard fare In our
army and navy.
All purchasers OF bread and flour
are advised to insist upon seeing ZEN
riched" printed upon the wrapper or
container of these essential foods.
Bakers and millers are not required
to enrich bread and flour, but do it
voluntarily as notable contribution
to our war efforts.
Although enriched bread has been
produced for only about a year, 1t Is
estimated that today about half Of
all our commercial white bread Is
vitamin- enriched. This is real progress,
since only about third was enriched
some six months ago.
BY using enriched bread in a WELL
balanced daily diet, this good bread
may properly comprise as much as 40
percent of the calories, or units Of
food-energy, according to another
noted authority, Prof. H. c. Sherman.
In view of such support from our
leaders in nutrition, every consumer
should take advantage Of the new en-
riched bread, asking for 1t by that
name.

|CITYCOUNTY
FIGHT FOR CAR
FEES IS SEEN
BATTLE IN STATE LEGISLATURE
LOOMS AS AFTERMATH TO
COMMISSIONER MEET

When the 1913 legislative assembly
convenes in January. the biennial bat
tie between counties and cities for
motor vehicle registration fees is
nearly certain to be resumed.
Renewal of the conflict was almost
definitely assured when the Montana
Association of County Commissioners
unanimously adopted resolution OPP
posing any division Of the fees. The
commissioners strongly opposed any
suggestion that any OF the fees be d.
verted to purposes other than county
road work.
The Montana Municipal league is
expected to lead the battle of cities
and towns to obtain some portion OF
the fees. although some city officials
contend they are entitled to not less
and probably more than so percent.
At the present time Butte is the
only Montana city to share in the
funds from registration of motor We
hicles. Under an act of the 1887 legis-
lature, SO percent Of the net fees
paid by residents in cities Of $4,000
population or more is to be set aside
for city road fund. This population
figure, however, is based on the 1890

division benefits to Butte. regardless
of present populations.
The county commissioners contend
that it is but just that motor vehicle
fees go to the counties, as residents
of incorporated cities and towns are
not subject to payment of the special
road tax levies. which in Cascade
county is mills.
They further assert that the road
mileage outside such cities and towns
could not be maintained adequately
without the fees. Cascade county has
between 1,4O0 and 300 miles Of coun-
ty roads, This year the county road
departments have been unusually hard
hit by abnormal moisture, floods and
other conditions increasing costs.
Moreover, commissioners say, the
county roads are used more by city
residents than by rural residents.
City officials take the position that
cities cannot properly care for streets
and avenues without extra funds and
that it is but just that they should
receive the money paid in by their
residents.
