One Word Led To Another

The Detroit Times
BY Arthur Bugs" Baer-

More and more economic experts are subscribing
to my theory that national elections the highest form
of protest.
Otherwise there would be no plausible emergency in
holding them.
1t is not good for man to live government property
too long Witness the ancient Commandant of League
Island Navy Yard who died full of years and canned gold
fish
When his attorneys read his will they found he had
left the navy yard to his favorte nephew.
When we upseat prexy for second time it is
protest against his first When inseat him for
second term it is still protest against his first.
1t indicates that life, liberty and the paper chase of
felicity must include few seasoning ingredients such
bellgerence objections and demand for a recount
The laundering fathers left two beautiful docu-
ments known the Declaration of Indignation and the
CONSERVATION of the United States with codcis and
amendments inaid.

WHILE INFESTATiON with
w the body louise is very COM
mon in the United States and
has been so far as memory
reaches IL has not constituted n
serious health menace until
now. Under wartime conditions
with large numbers Of the pop
ulation who. have been IN areas
where there is typhus or rclap-
sing fever returning 20 The
United States. they may come
back with some Of the germs IN
their blood.
There are two varieties Of
lice-the head louise and the
body louise. and they stick pretty
much 10 their own territory.
The head louise can be detected
by seeing the animal itself sill
khering IN and out among the
hairs, as Burns did that day IN
church. And even If you don't
see the beastie itself you can
detect the eggs cemcnted 10
hair looking for all the world
like little grains Of sand or
salt. OF course the infested VIC
tim usually knows IL by the
itching. II he has never had
any lice before he may be al
tackled by a sudden, mysterious
itching Of the scalp or body.
The old hand knows right away
what the itch Is due 10.
On THE body. lice leave little
" red blood clot spots which
may be a guide TO the fact Of
invasion.
The head louise is a somewhat
more complicated animal 10 get
rid Of. The head can be shaved
and that will do the trick. but
there are obvious disadvantages
tn that.

preparations which are free
from all these objections are

THESE DAYS

TT IS political stupidity TO re-
L fuse 10 face the fact that the
transit strike in Philadelphia,
broken by military order, was
an anti-Negro strike.
It was called because Negroes
were to be employed in positions
heretofore held exclusively by
whites.
II is also absurd TO accept the
Go statement that the strike
was organized, called and main
tanned by an insurgent group in
opposition 10 the constituted
Go authorities. The fact is
that Go union struck, that Go
members refused TO work and
did not return TO work until
they faced the danger of a con-
>flict with the u. S. Army.
The Go has made II a habit,
since the mo strike agreement"
10 call all of its strikes, wild
cat"
1t is a way TO strike while
maintaining the facade of oppo-
sltion TO strikes.
II is a way Of maintaining a
bluff.
In the month Of May of this
year, during the European inva-
sion Preparations, the peak IN
strikes was reached. Were they
all wildcat strike" ?
Either the Go assumes re-
sponsibility for its members, its
unions, its organizers and its
strikes or il denounces itself as
an irresponsible and incompe-
tent organization
THIS Philadelphia strike, called
L and run by a CIO union, is
particularly significant because
during the current political alli-
ance between the communists
and the Go. the Negro is en-
couraged to believe that the
leadership of Sidney Hillman
and Earl Browder will bring
him 10 green pastures.
Actually these men are oper-
ating a political device to use
the Negro politically.
In the North, the Negro Is
being sadly used by the poll
ticianS
He is being led 10 believe that
he can utilize political power to
achieve social and economic
equality.
The northern Negro has still
10 learn the bitter truth that a
cruel trick is being played on
him-and that some of his own
most voCiferous leaders are par

PHILADELPHIA is a symp-
L tom of resistance 10 eco
nomic equality-to that equality
of opportunity which alone JUS
titles the American economic
system.
Social discrimination can
understand even IN the United
States. because whenever the
prob lem OF inter-marriage
arises. not only between people
of different racial origins but
between peoples Of any differ

 Some of the committees have completed their preliminary work and their resulting documents are before the commission which will pass on them and refer the whole program to the entire membership.
 Documents submitted so far are Tabled approved in substance" ," which means that they have been accepted in principle but that minor changes must be made in wording. A group of experts will take up this detail when the whole plan is rounded out by the committees.
 It was learned that the interna- tional monetary fund will total around $8,500, 900 ,000, a rise of $500,- 100000 over the original estimate. This indicates that concessions have been given some of the nations mo- tably Russia, which demanded a
