Nation Role
in War Plans
Is Discussed
Long-Stonding
Turko- British Pact
Moy be ImpIemented

LONDON, Dec. 7 - (P) - A
conference between President
Roosevelt, Prime Minister
Churchill and President Ismet
Inonu of Turkey has been in
progress in North Africa, it was
learned today, and the results
will concern Turkeys future po-
sition in relation to the Allies
war against the Axis.
The participation of Inonu in
conferences with Roosevelt and
Churchill apparently was based
on the never-implemented Brit
ish-Turkish Pact of 1899 which
pledged Turkey to aid Britain in
the event of aggression leading
to war in the Mediterranean.
The diplomatic correspondent
of the British Press Association
wrote, Churchill and Roosevelt
are in conference with President
lsmet Inonu of Turkey and their
deliberatins may in due course
have almost as important an eff
feet upon the course and conduct
of the war as the great inter-Al-
lied talks Which already have
taken place in Cairo and Teher-
an"
BERLIN REPORT
The Berlin radio said that the
conference had been completed
in Cairo and that Inonu had re-
turned to Ankara, where the
Turkish cabinet would meet in
special session.
German spokesman meanwhile
told Swedish correspondents that
the Allies are eXerting heavy
pressure to force Turkey to join
the war"
There has been no Allied con-
firmation of such a conference.
Cairo dispatches yesterday stated
that the whereabouts Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt had not been dis
close since he attended the three
power parley in Iran, although
it was revealed that Churchill
had attended combined British
American military parleys in
Cairo subsequent to the Teheran
meeting.

County Tax

Breaking all precedent for
Macomb County, the County
treasurer's office will shortly
launch a campaign-which may
result in court .actions--to col
lect unestimated thousands Of
dollars from businessmen in
Mount Clemens, and Warren,
Lake and Erin Townships, in the
form of delinquent personal tax
assessments due between 1888
and 1912.
The drastic move TO enforce a
seldom reinforced law was initi-
ated by Treasurer William G..
Miller, who has placed Deputy
Treasurer Frank j. Smith in
charge Of the collection drive. 1t
is inspired by a similar project
in Oakland County which has
now resulted in a minimum de-
linquency in personal taxes and
a collection of much indebted
ness from past years.

COUNTY HAS STAKE

Only the county's portion Of
the three phased county-town-
ship-schools tax is involved in
the collection effort, Miller ex-
plains. II the city or school au-
thorities do not plan any effort
TO collect their share of the long
unpaid personal taxes, that is
their loss-and possibly the
amount involved is not worth
their effort-Miller points out.
However, Macomb County is go
ing after its money.
Personal taxes are assessed
annually by the local assessor
against the merchandise, fix
lures, furniture and movable
chattels in a place of business.

MORE DISCUSSION

Oscar Baker Sr. of Bay City, who is dis
tinguished member of the Michigan Bar and vet
crusader for the rights of Negroes in the state
has called our attention to movement in his city
which he recommends as a practical step toward
greater goodwill and understanding between the
races. 1t seems that series of public forums in
which the problems Of the postwar world were dis
cussed was held in the largest church in the city.
The citizens eager to discuss the basis for an
enduring peace and measures of reform following
the war All faiths and all participated in the
public forums and despite conflicting economic and
social views there was ready acceptance of the
principle of brotherhood prime requisite for
new order.
Mr. Baker brought to public attention In these
forums many of the grievances of the Negro people
which have been tacitly suppressed and ignored
The response of the eitizenry was immediate and at
the close of the forum series, three resolutions were
adopted and all three dealt with tolerance and one
resolution called for employers of labor to refuse,
consistently and firmly, to discriminate against any
worker because of race, creed, color national
origin"
1t goes without saying that public forums and
town hall meetings excellent approaches to the
solution of problem which has its roots in gnor
ance and misunderstanding. Many whites do not
know that the road to brotherhood is also the road
of enlightened self interest The public discussion of
these issues must of necessity to broaden the
thinking of the general public and stimulate new in
terest in the tremendous problem of living together
in an atmosphere of peace and goodwill We hope
that the recommendations of Mr.. Baker will be well
received by the leaders of other Michigan communi
ties. This is period when we need widespread
public interest in the basic problems of our society
and those who serve as missionaries Of democracy
can help fashion brave new world of peace and
freedom for tomorrow.

WHAT WE CAN DO

In recent weeks two Jealous and careful stu
dents Of the race problem in America have brought
similar messages to Detroit audiences which, we
believe are worthy Of further emphasis. William
Walker, the Cleveland publisher, and Leslie Perry of
the Washington NAACP Bureau deliberately out
lined the pressing need for strong political action
by our group and described the anti-democratic
forces at work in present Congress. Any casual
observer can see that the Seventy-eighth Congress
is controlled by those who are hell bent repuda
ing the New Deal and most of the social gains that
have been won in the last decade.
This is a challenge which the northern Negro
who is free to exercise his franchise can meet and
must meet. In Detroit we have failed miserably to
utilize the democratic instrument with which it Is
possible for us to break the backs of the antNegrO
blocs in local and national government. Since 1910
the Negro population in the Detroit area has risen
from 10000 to 1000 and $4,000 migrants have
come to swell our ranks in this three-year period
The political potential of group is greater than
ever before and the need for voting our full strength
in all elections is obvious to everyone of us.
Whether we like it or not, government is increas;
ing its control over all phases of life and govern
ment is too often in the hands of those who are
motvated by their prejudices. We may not now
change the face of Congress, but we can begin
modifying voting strength to eliminate the
northern solons who playing ball with the poll
tax bloc and isolate enemies handful of
southerners could not run the Congressional show
without the acquiescence of northern congressman.
We cannot start this mobilization of our voters
too for the political forces which will be de-
cisve in 1914 are already hard at work. Our local,
state and national elections in 1914 will be mpor
tant because vast issues of war and peace must be
decided and the groundwork for new world order
will be planned and Negroes cannot afford to be
on the sdelnes of these events. These events will
affect our job opportunities, our civil rights and
determine what will be measure of freedom in
the years ahead. Nine million Negroes in the South
look to their northern brothers to open the door upon
a new era for them and for ourselves. While our
protestatons have forced the door aar it will take
votes to do the job under the democratic system

THE BULLFROG SPEAKS

The big windy Bulfrog of Great Britain who
has warned us that he was not appointed "His Males,
tvs first minister in order to preside over the liquid
ton of the British Empire" has made another speech
which is being hailed in the daily press of this coun
try great message of historic Importance. While
we would hesitate to question the historic value of
Mr.. Churchls utterances at this moment in world
affairs, do believe that world events today pro-
vide good reasons for questioning his point of view
Many years before the present war Mr.. Churchill
has sought to bring the English speaking peoples, the
white ones, into some sort of grand alliance. The
exploits of the Red army in bunting the Nazi spear
with unparalleled vaor have caused him to amend
his first proposition that he would now include
the Russians in grand council for the postwar
world. In his latest speech the Bullfrog suggests
with cunning brance that we might create an
Asiatic Council to handle the postwar problems of
the Asiatcs and England, the United States and
Russia would take care of the Western world.
The valiant Chinese who have stood off the
fierce missionaries of Hirohito for six years have
apparently been making too much noise about this
equality business in the present United Nations set
up. Britain would sit in on the council of the West
ern world and since she has no intention of getting
out of India, she would also have seat in any post
war Asiatic council. The Chinese who want to see
worldwide council or something similar in prin-
ciple but not in practice, to the League of Nations
would not get peep in the affairs of the Western
boys. AS matter of fact if Bulfrog Churchill has
his way, China won't get much of peep in the af
fairs of the Asatc council.
If current history teaches us anything, it teaches
us that this world is too small to divide up the re-
sponsbility for maintaining lasting peace and is too
big for two or three nations to attempt by them
selves The United Nations concept of President
Roosevelt is working in the present emergency, and
we cannot why it should not work in the time of
peace. The United Nations program calls for equality
among nations and joint responsibility of all world
powers for all goba problems: =
The eloquent Bullfrog of Downing street has
already given us the tip-off on his intentions of
building a better if not bigger British Empire.
The British be expected to seek dominant posi-
ton in any postwar world league. This council
business with separate spheres of influence would
enable the British lion to wag its tail in everybodys
backyard without attracting too much suspicion. For
all of the new-fangled talk and deastic mouthings
the British Tories hell bent running the show
following the war. If they succeed we can begin
training our infants now for another bloody in
world affairs two or three decades hence.

Maybe it's the breath of Spring
in the air or perhaps II Is certain
rumors circulating around here that
makes all of TIE boys want passes
and furloughs.
II seems that our early morning
drilling agrees with, most OF the
fellows in our company. After
more than a week OF getting up
real early, the boys seem to enjoy
the drilling and calisthenics. The
few that baked at the idea Of
losing a=feW-heufs- fsieepseem
to be the ones who now enjoy 1t
most.
When the boys Of TIE Post Quar-
termaster moved to Hq. Co.. it
brought together again group Of
boys that came into the army to-
gether over Is months ago. This is
the first time they have been to-
gether in over a year.
Cpl. Nelson Perry and four or
Ave more boys are still left in the
Quartermosters to instruct the new
men in their duties.
Now comes TIE time Of year when
ones thoughts generally turn to
love and peace. But how can one
think OF love when the world Is so
full of hate, strife and the desire
to kill and conquer?
Who knows? Maybe the time will
come when man and the world
W.. be at peace again. Then Spring
will again hold the beauty OF ro-
nance ii has once been in tie past.
Three Of the most likeable men
of our company are Sgt. Martin,
Pfc. Pond and Pvt. Dawson. These
three men are never too busy to
give friendly advice or help some
of the boys in their difficulties.
All OF the fellows are sincere In
wishing Pfc. John Davis n UGH luck
in his return TO civilian life. Pic
Davis. who returned to his essential
war Job was with us for two years
or more. We know he will be doing
his best whatever his civilian Job
calls for.
