Tells OF Racial
Clash In London
British Learn
To Look Down
On Race Troops
BY RICHARD ROBINSON

WASHINGTON, d. CLAMP
Stories published in daily news
papers in this city confirm the re-
Gently published story which the
Associated Negro Press received
from abroad, citing racial hostil-
titles and bitterness existing in
the British Isles where troops
object to the presence Of Negro
troops and show their objection
through physical violence, despite
whitewaSh stories emanatlng
from the war department. Says
the Daily News on Wednesday
last:
London, october GA fee-for-
all fight among American sold
Iers was disclosed today to have
occurred in Wiltshire village on
September 26, the same day on
which two military policemen
were wounded during an American
shooting affray in town in Corn
wall.
SOLDIERS INJURED
"A number of soldiers were in
juTed in the Wiltshire battle,
several of them seriously, when
Negro and wnitea troops fought
with knives on the towns main
street.
American troops have been
barred from the town by U. S.
Military. authorities, pending an
investigation and military police
are patrollIng the streets.
The Cornwall gun battle start
ed with a fist fight between two
American soldiers attending
local dance
The following night ore group
of Americans arrived at the town
square, each man carrying a
rifle and sc rounds of ammunition
hidden beneath his coat and am
pushed another party leaving a
hote. The soldiers fought for 10
minutes before order was restored.
NGNoRED BY WAR DEPT.
The war department takes no
cognizance of these affair, it Is
believed, since they have been
going OH ever since Negro troops
were landed in England. Knowing
that this condition exists and
doing little if anything to pre-
vent occurrences speaks poorly
for the discipline for which the
war department is reputedly
noted
For over a year now this racial
strife has been permitted to dis
grace Americans in the eyes of the
British public. The British have
been qu;tely laking lessons from
the American cousins who feel
that the Negro is not entitle to
any of the privileges of demo-
cracy, but must shoulder demo-
cracy's burdens, when it GENES 70
labor.
Time and time again it has been
pointed out that these serious
outbusts are just as harmful TO
the allied cause as axis guns, for
they give the axis powers plenty OF
propaganda information to use as
ammunition against democracies.
