Sees Africa As
Good Place For
Negro Pioneers
Big Opportunity
For Trained Men,
Frenchman Says

WASHINGTON - (ANP) - A
spokesman for the Fighting French
delegation in the United States dis
cussed possibilities for national de-
velopment in Africa after the war
with the Associated Negro Press
last week, and declared that in his
opinion the dark continent is the
logical place for Negroes with the
pioneering spirit to do something
about it.
He is Maj. Maurice Rotival, mill
tary attache for the delegation,
which represents the De Gaulllst
faction among eXiled Frenchmen.
The subject of the conversation
was self-government for French CO.
lonials, but the Major injected this
thought of what he would do If he
were a Negro architect, engineer
or other technically trained person.
"There is little or no room for
pioneering in America or IN
Europe" he asserted. I'm Africa,
however, there are cities to be
founded, roads to be built, bridges
and dams. There is need for skilled
people there"
BUILT SCHOOLS
He considered that the climate OF
Africa is less suitable to Europeans
than it is to Negroes. But more I'M
portant, he believes that Africa is
the lone place left for the type OF
DEVELOPMENT that an advanced civil
lization could bring about
The French, he said, have built
schools in the colonies and VIII
build more. This is long process
but necessary both for self-govern-
ment and for natural development,
he added. AS matters. stand, there is
measure of self-government IN
African colonies where they have
community councils, and in the is
lands of the West Indies where clti-
Gems are said to have the vote.
Maj. Rotival pointed out that
there is no inequality among
Frenchmen. The only people under
the French flag who are not citi-
zens are the Arabs of North Africa,
and the reason for this is that they
are unwilling to relinquish polyg-
amy.
He cited the fact that Felix
Eboue, a Negro, is governor OF
French Equatorial Africa, an area
almost as large as that portion OF
the United States that lies. east OF
the Mississippi.
The French, he 81 d, do not think
in terms of color.

PRODUCERS of war tools?
OF the many republics to the south, which
have taken stand against the Axis, Mexico,
Brazil and Cuba are giving actual help to
their allies. The others, by and large, are
strictly on the sidelines. They have no major
war problems, nor does one OF them face
crisis. Is there any sound reason why
thew could not be asked to send labor armies
to this country, or why they should refuse

Certainly any workers thus imported would

Make It Stick, MIR. Bowles

The New York Times recently quoted Ches-
ter Bowles, acting administrator of OPA, as
saying in Chicago interview that merchants
should be protected against needless med
ding shopping and gestapo methods" How
great boon it would be to thousands of
merchants and tens of thousands of consun-
ers if this protection were extended can well
be appreciated
Anything Mr.. BoWles can do to simplify
OPA methods and conduct its operations along
truly American lines of fair play. will gain
public approval and cooperation.
Mr. Bowles would have to- spend week
in grocery store to find out what the local
merchant is up against in trying to comply
with OPA regulations 1t is almost a safe
bet that neither Mr.. Bowles nor any of his
official family would attempt to read or COM
ply with the blanks and forms with which
the average merchant is bombarded by the

Postwar Collaboration

In a vague way the Fulbright resolution
for United States participation in the estab-
lishment and maintenance of just and last.
ing peace which the House overwhelmingly
approved, is endorsed by many senators. al.
though there is a wide division of opinion
among them concerning the terms such a
commitment should contain.
Some contend the Fulbright proposal is too
comprehensive. Others insist it is not suf-
ficiently specific. Senator Wheeler declares
he is definitely opposed TO any proposal which
could be construed as a sell-out to Great
Britain.
In the circumstances it appears improbable
that the measure sent over to the Senate
wing will receive the blessing of that branch
of Congress as it stands. There is strong
probability that any measure acceptable to
the Senate will emerge only after long con-
troversy.
But it is something to know that in a general
way the upper house of Congress favors United
States collaboration with the Allied nations
in the postwar era, and that we not as
liable to find ourselves at a dead end when
the conflict ends as we were when the op-
position of few senators led by Henry Cabot
Lodge blocked our entry into the League OF

Temper The Wind

In making its plans for new tax levies the
Treasury apparently is overlooking the abil-
ity of separate groups to pay. Ten billion,
five hundred million dollars is lot of money
to demand from a people already heavily
burdened If it is distributed among all the
people on an equal basis, many will 60 bank
rupt.
Thousands of Americans are already forced
to ask aid from the banks to meet their in
come levy now. If the income tax rate is
raised for them, and banks refuse on sound
business principles, to advance them m
money, their only alternative to paying the
full amount out of their earnings is to let
their families starve.
The Treasury ought, in all reason, to temper
the wind to the new-shorn lamb, or, speci-
hcaly, impose levy in proportion to the in
dlviduals income and obligations. 1t is I'M
reasonable to demand from white collar
workers whose earnings have not increased
IN the war emergency, or have advanced
very little a percentage of their incomes
equal to that demanded of others whose earn
lngs IN many cases are twice what they were
before the war.

Source Of Manpower

Manpower bottlenecks are admittedly at the

perform at military, naval and air bases) and
even Why more Wacs are not releasing more

AS none of these queries have been salts
