n. A. A. C. P. secretary, was sharp
ly challenged by White who pointed
out that the present record Of the
Republicans in Congress has caused
thoughtful Negroes of the United
States to entertain very real
doubts" of such action. White
emphasized that the Hoover ad-
ministration particularly, as well
as the administration Of Harding
and Coolidge convinced Negroes
that the COP was not working for
the betterment of the Negro
people"
The continued alliance in the
present and recent Congresses Of
conservative northern Republicans
and southern Democrats "has done
and is doing infinite harm to the
Negro" the N. A. A. C. P. secretary
declared. The soldier Vote Bill was
cited as an example Of the opera
ton of this coalition by White who
asserted, "the shameless betrayal
Of nearly II, 600, 900 members of the
armed services, at least 10 per
cent Of them Negro, would never
have been put over had not Is Re-
publican senators joined with "a
Democrats to pass the Eastland-
Mcclellan Mcclellan substitute"
Also set forth in the N. A. A.
C. P. letter were the filibusters
against the anti-lynching bill and
the anti-pon tax bill. White charged
that the Republicans in the Senate
refused to vote for cloture which
could have broken the flibuster on
both bills and permitted them to
come to a vote.
Congressman John Taber (Rep.
N. " was singled out by White for
his anti-Negro speeches and &C.
tivities in connection with the OWL
pamphlet, Negroes and the War"
Referring to the appearance be-
fore the National Republican Club
in New York City on December II
Of Senator W. Lee pass the Bis
cults Pappy) O'Daniel of Texas,
White declared:
"The taking to the bosom of an
important unit of the Repubi-
can party of an individual like
Senator O'Daniel certainly is not
reassuring to US that the Repubi-
can Party will again undertake its
historic task of working for the
betterment of the Negro people,"
In acknowledging the receipt Of
"A Declaration of Negro Voters"
Chairman Spangler wrote:
81 am firmly convinced that
when the people have COM
pleted in 1914 their plainly in
dicated plan Of removing the
New Deal from our national
life, the Republican Party will
again undertake its historic
task of working for the better
ment of the Negro people as
well as all others"

Treasury officials disclosed to-

way in Washington and London
looking toward agreements
among the United Nations on
postwar monetary and related
problems.
1t was emphasized, however, that
the discussions have not yet reached

hoped something concrete might
develop out of the talks before the
war ends.
Treasury, Federal Reserve, State

have participated in informal talks
in Washington with financial men
from other countries" he said.
Naturally these things are dis
cussed,' he added, referring to post

The Treasury officials said that
the United States has an observer

II have just had an opportunity
OF seeing my father over here, and
he gave me the first American news
papers I have seen since I left the
States last September.
I'm the papers I read something
which deeply disturbs me. A fell
low Congressman of yours has un-
dertaken to criticize some of my
brothers and their war records by
stating that two of them were
pulled out of combat zones so that
they would not be exposed to danger.
1naSmuch as I know the Congress-
man could not be referring to me,
because I am here with troops in
North Africa, and because I know
that my brother Franklin has been
on destroyer in the North At
lantlc and still is, there can be only
two brothers to whom the gentle
man in question refers, my brothers
James and John.
Cites Brothers Determination.
Il happen to know that James
has insisted on carrying on, on ac-
tive duty, even though he is not
physically up to the strain of COM
bat. He could easily sit back and
not be exposed to actual combat, be-
cause If he were anybody elses son
he would be exempted from such
duty. He is hell of fine officer
and has plenty of CUTS. Ask any
man who has served with him
that is the test! John, my youngest

British Move to Solve
Poland Russia Dispute

LONDON. March (P,.-Polish

eXcrting efforts to mitigate Poland s
dispute with Soviet Russia over
postwar boundaries.
Reports that Premier Gen. Wlady-
slaW Slkorski had taken disciplinary
action against anti-Soviet eXtrem-
lists in his own ranks, however, were
denied today by a Polish govern
ment spokesman.
Fearing that aggravated public
discussion might prejudice nego-
tiations underway between the
Russian and Polish governments to
resolve the controversy amicably
the British censorship requested
/ both the English and foreign Ian
guage press to refrain from print
/ ing anything on the subject except
official utterances.
The censorship request was made
/ following conference Of Polish
/ Ambassador Taduesz Romer with
Premier Stain in Moscow.
