by conflict, sharply reveal the
feudal shackles and undemocratic
life imposed on the African peo-
pies by the colonial system.
Under this feudal and undemo-
cratic system. educational. health
and other social facilities avail
able to the African population are
bound to be inadequate. They are
desperately inadequate. Such IA
cilities again reflects the low
standard of living of the African
population and accounts for the
cultural lag among tho people.
The APPALLING high infant mortality
rate is directly traceable to the
worst evils of insufficient income.
Medical attention and other social
services cost more than the low
wage scale provides. For the same
reason, wretched housing condi-
tions are the rule. Starvation is
the inevitable result of the colon
ial system"
"AlI of us, including the peo-
pies of Africa, have one immed-
late aim to defeat HitIerism
and everything it represents"
In his closing statement the

NEGROES ON JURY
I'M JACKSON COUNTY

MARIANNA. June ,. FNS)-
Setting a precedent in Jackson
County, negroes We're drawn for
Jury duty here last week by court
order and served on both grand
and petit juries.
Departing from custom, the
negroes were drawn as the result
of petition from County Con-
missioners, who. having been in
formed that in some instances
courts have held that discrimina-
ton against negroes in the prepa-
ration of jury lists, where names
are purposely omitted, any convic-
ton that might be obtained would
be nullified.
The commissioners, believing
that negroes who commit crimes
in the county should be punished
in the same manner as whites, pc
litioned the Circuit Court judges
for the action.

exceed that figure by a large

PUT an end to petty thieverY in
Key West.
AS he pointed out. practically
every crime of that nature in re-
cent months, has been committed
by a sneak thief. Captain Atweli
stated that, hereafter, everybody
found prowling the streets after
/ o'clock in the morning is going
TO be stopped and questioned,
and if he can not give good rea-
son for being out SO late at night,
he will be arrested.
Il believe" Captain Atwell said,
that the people of Key West will
approve my taking this measure
to break up sneak thievery. No
good citizen, who has the inter
eSts of the CITY at heart, will re-
sent being questioned if he is
found out after | o'clock, no more
than he would resent being asked
to be finger printed if he opens a
postal savings account in the post
office. He feels that such a proce-
dure is for his own protection, and
/ am confident that he will feel
that cur diligence is the only way
we can effectively stamp cut the
work of sneak thieves in this
community.
IF sneak thieves see uni
formed policeman coming toward
them. naturally they will exert
themselves to get out of his sight,
so / have arranged to have several
of the city's regular policemen
wear civilian clothes while on
their beats. Besides, | am receiv
ing the support of special and
volunteer policemen, and we feel
sure we will make it SO hot for
night providers they will even
tually be driven off the streets.
