Vice-Consul Speaks To Women S Club
On Britain And The War With Japan

Great Britain knows the debt

so said British Vice-Consui Cor
don W. Creighton of New Or
leans, in a talk before the Wo-
mans Cub o. Pascagoula at a
meeting in the Twelfth Street
Community building, Thursday
afternoon. Aug. II.
The meeting was opened by the

extended welcome to the many
representatives from ali the clubs,
church societies and other organ
izations Of Pascagoula and Moss
Point to which invitations TO at
tend had been issued.
Following this, the speaker was
introduced by Miss Bessie Perry,
leader Of the program for the al
teTnoon.
Mr.. Creighton opened his talk
by explaining that ne was substi-
tuting for Mr.. w. r. Urqhart,
British Consul General at New

TO address the club as scheduled.
He then talked on THE Far

War Against Japan" In a brief
sketch OF what he saw in China
just prior to the fall OF Hong
Kong, Mr.. Creighton told Of NAL
nutrition and restitution every
where, even in that early stage
of the war, and of atrocities
against Chinese and the nation

come under his observation.
The speaker then went on to
say that there are a few, fortu-
nately a few, for such propagan-
da is dangerous, vino maintain
that Britain is doing nothing and
will do nothing in the war against
Japan. On the contrary she is
doing as much as she can in the
face of a life and death struggle
against Germany, and will do
more when the European strug-
gle is fought to a finish. AT the
outbreak of the wal in the Far
East Britain had weakened de-
lenses there by withdrawing
ships and troops to Europe. She
was still further weakened when

Steinborn appeared at 30 camps
during his six-week tour and often
put on as many as three shows
daily aside from wrestling on a

reported to have amazed the SOL

Steinborn, who is known as THE

strong man and he has forgotten
very few of his tricks.

that our young men are under

Just because a man is turned

does not mean he hasn't taken

suffering from lack of exercise, for
some of our best athletes have
been rejected.
A program of exercise isn't 60

a great many men have been turn

Maybe a doctor could go in there

remains such reflections can't be

be well to discover the percentage
of rejectees who were turned down
for reasons not related to exercise
before becoming alarmed at the

We're all for exercise, and if

ton "is just as qualified for

will go into the convention
"definitely out of the favorite

their belief on Broughton's
record as stated by Drew

Pearson said that under
Broughton, "North Carolina
has become the most progress

morrow in which Wallace support
ers will do their best to capitalize
on Mr.. Roosevelt's expression of
liking and respect and the opposi-
ton will emphasize free choice
of the convention.
The convention, which begins
Wednesday, is all set to hand Mr.
Roosevelt a fourth term nominal
tion-but not without some dissent.
Mississippi's delegation, which
has 20 votes, decided today in a
caucus to toss them all to Sen.
Harry Flood Byrd of Virginia, who
frequently has taken issue with the
administration.
And Florida agreed to abandon
its unit voting rule to permit four
of its Is votes to 60 to Byrd.
The Mississippi action, empha.
sizing signs of southern revolt ir
the Democratic party, was hailed
by John U. Barr of New Orleans
chairman of a Draft-Byrd-for-P Pres,
ident movement.
1t should, he said, "Put the cap
tors of our convention on notice to
the effect that the 1870 electoral
votes of the southern and border
states no longer intend to be boss
ed and kicked around by some
400, 900 New York communists"
If all delegates were free to fol
low their conscience, he said. Byro
would be the presidential NOMINEES
on the first ballot.
Mississippi voted to support
Byrnes for vice president, amid
signs that his stock was rising fol
second spot on the ticket.
Aside from the interest in can
didates, convention delegates cen
tered their attention on southern
issues.

contesting for convention seats.
A credentials committee, which
meets Wednesday, will decide the
Texas contest.
On to the temporary roll also
went an all-white South Carolina
delegation which is involved in a
contest with negro group. Both
factions are described as pro-
fourth term.
There was some talk that the
Wallace adherents might attempt
to obtain an even stronger presi-
dental endorsement for their man.
But it was understood Mr.. Roose.
welt had let word reach the con-
vention that he was making only
one move in that direction.
The Wallace supporters were
considering an sos by telephone
to Mr.. Roosevelt to use his in
fluence with some key delegations.
