Mr.. Julian reports a conversation
he had with a colored boy in Pic
cadilly Circus and some of the facts
he learned were: Negroes r treaI-
ed better by the British than by the
Americans. Several American Off
GERS resigned because they did not
want to lead colored troops. Negro
soldiers are not welcome at the A.
merican Red Cross clubs, and spec
ial clubs are being set UP for them.
NOW, really, Such goings-on are
a little shameful don't you think
so? Supposing on the field of bat
tie, an American boy was dying and
needed assistance. Let's suppose a
Negro buddy came to his aid. DO
you imagine he would refuse? Do
you think he would let racial pre-
judice interfere with what may be
a chance of safety for that Ameri-
can white boy? And if the colored
boys are good enough to die for a.
merica then at least they deserve as
good a chance to live in America
or any other part of the world for
that matter-and pursue normal,
honest lives.
"One of the principles for which
we are fighting this war is equal
rights land how can we demand
cooperation in this respect from
other nations if we can't set a good
example ourselves.
Right now is a good time to
start pulling down these racial pre-
JUDGES that have SO long deprived
us all of more DR.. Carvers and Paul
Robesons. The armed forces would
be the logical place to begin. If
f, some kind of educational program
could be Sandwlched in among the
military duties, whereby the white
soldiers could begin to erase their
color prejudices. then those mil
lions who viii leone back to their
peace-time homes and occupations
will be a strong wedge to start GUST
! ing racial discrimination among civ
ilians.
II know this is a difficult sub
ject and one that will make many
of my listeners violently agree Or
disagree with me, but at a time
when our leaders are setting UP
blue prints for the postwar world
in which we, and the generations to
| come, hope to live at Peace, I think
it is high time We brought this sub
ject into the ope and aired it
more thoroughly.

Treasury Files Data
To Help Stabilize
France After Invasion
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July Agents Of
the United States Treasury are con-
structing a file OF information on
collabora tionist activities OF indi-
viduals and business establishments
in present-day France, 1t was
learned today.
The obvious implication, financial
circles said. was OF an intent to
make, ahead OF actual invasion. de-
cisions which might facilitate stabil-
ization Of the French economy once
the immediate upheavals OF invasion
were quieted.
The questions asked 60 beyond
general terms and deal with specific
personalities. prewar tendencies to-
ward Nazi friendships. and details Of
transactions made with the Nazi
occupa ton authorities.
Search In Wall Street.
Treasury representatives recently
have conducted their search for
data among banking men in the
New York financial district. many
OF whom had a considerable degree
Of contact with, and some an inti-
mate knowledge of, French busi-
ness and finance.
From one analytical banking
mind came this opinion:
A heavy ma jority OF French busi-
nessmen and government leaders
made their decisions and have con-
tinued to make them on the bases
of self-preservation. business preser-
vation and national preservation, in
that order.
These Frenchmen. however. and
most of the people of France. ap-
parently are weary OF occupation.
The Nazis have worn out what well
come they found.
A banker who declined to be
quoted said French business has been
operating under a domination by
Nazi occupation authorities which
approached third degree" methods
in severity. He based his statement
on discussions with neutrals who
have been able to maintain a Sem
blance OF business relationships in
France.
Infiationary Trend.
There was little inclination on the
part of American bankers to guess at
invasion dates or at the length of
time necessary to straighten out the
tangle of French business resulting
from Nazi controls.
1t was learned, however. that GER
tain American business interests
with former continental connections
were taking steps which might be
construed as indicating hope Of re-
Stunning operations abroad In the
not too distant future.
Discussing the French situation.
these men pointed out that while
Frances finance has suffered A
severe imitation as a result of Ger
man occupation charges, there exists
in English and American vaults A
sizable amount of gold which-once
France were freed-could be used as
a reserve to help stabilize the franc.
Some degree of stability would be
needed. they asserted, before Ameri-
can business safely could resume
normal international trade.
