STORY OFASIA
CHINA SPEAKS OUT
continued from Last Week
BY Abe Attacks

Continued from Last Week
"This war has done much
toward uniting the colored peo-
Piles Of the world. It has
changed my viewpoint on many
things" This statement was re-
portedly made recently by Ma
dame Chang Kai-Shek, First
Lady of China.
SEES THE LIGHT
Madame Chang has since
joined her husband and we have
previously presented in this
series the story of China and
her leaders. China is to be the
next great power in Asia; what
she and her leaders think is i'm
portant. Madame Chang, as
we told you, attended Wellesley
College here in the Bay State
and her husband is the famed
Chinese generaliSsimo and lead
er. While attending school here.
Madame Chang did not see too
much Of colored people, nor
grasp too much the truth Of
racial obstacles. OF the Soong
family, one of the richest In
Asia, the remarkably pretty
Chinese First Lady did not as
simulate much of the education
she has since gained after her
graduation from Wellesley. She
has fretted at the race bans
against Chinese and at one be-
Rod OF the war there was very
pad propaganda against the
Chinese armies. She has seen
the British step IN to retake
Hong Kong over the protest Of
Chinese generals. Much that
is happening can not please her
now.
U. S. FOLLY
At Washington today we have
cheap characters like Senator
Bilbo who are utilizing DANGER
Gus racial atomic bombs to fur
Their emhItter "non-aryansp but
which can not change the true
concepts Of Asia's Madame
Chang Kai-shek.
Praisine the troops who help
ed build China's Ledo Road she
IS quoted as saying, ct cannot
say enough in praise of the mer
who built that road. T. was a
herculoen task which colored
soldiers from America, white
Americans and Chinese made
from torrid iungles, swamp
land and mountainsire. In
their work together, the darker
races had much respect and re-
gard for one another"

BY closely cooperating with
the National Government, jam
es NJ. Curley as Governor, OBJ
tanned vast funds for public
works projects, which provided
work and wages for some 12o,-
900 men and women in Massa-
chusetts. who otherwise would
have remained unemployed.
Both as Mayor of Boston and
as Governor of Massachusetts,,
James NJ. Curley saved millions
Of dollars for the people annual
ly by obtaining reductions in
rates Of public utility corpora
tons. During his second term
as Mayor he brought about re-
ductions In electric lighting
rates representing a saving of
$500, 1000, and a reduction in
gas rates amounting to $1,000
coo. As Governor he obtained a
further reduction in electric
lighting rates representing an
annual saving Of $2,OOO,0OO to
the consumers of the Common
wealth.
James M. Curley, as Cover
nor, in 1888, induced the banks
to reduce the interest rate on
home mortgages from six to
five and one-half per cent, an
annual saving to home owners
OF Massachusetts, of approx
mately $l2,0OO,OOO a year. This
was the first time in rs years
that mortgages interest rates
on homes had been reduced. He
also caused to be made a reduc-
ton in compulsory automobile
insurance rates. which at the
time, was estimated to mean a
saving of 100000 annually to
automobile owners.
A new Old Age Assistance
law was enacted on recommen-
dationS of James M. Curley re-
ducing the age limit from 10 to
IS years, ard reducing the resi-
dence requirement from 20 to
5 years. Under the Federal
Old Age Act the United States
Government contributes so per
cent of the cost Of old age .pen-
sions in this State.
The 4d-hour law for iustitu-
tional employees who formerly
had shaved so and 10 hours a
week, required The hiring of
$500 additional men and wo-
men. In his treatment of pub
lie employees, James M. Curley
restored the annual step-rate
increases for State workers,
which had been discontinued in
1881.
Many important labor laws
wree placed on the statute
books on recommendation Of
James M. Curley as Governor. !
Several amendments we're made
to the Workmens Compensa-
ton Act, one Of which stopped |
the practice of discontinuing

When men shared love at toiling,

Abe Lincoln dealt the final stroke,
And made the slave Snowman.

REGITRATI0N LAW

MONTGOMERY, June 81 (ANP)
"A fascist-minded Alabama house
Of representatives has unanimously
passed a proposed amendment to
the constitution that would fix the
registration laws to guarantee
"white supremacy" eternally.
1t would revise the registration
laws to knock out ownership of
property as a qualification to reg
lister. In addition it would require
that all registrants understand the
constitution to the satisfaction Of
the registrars.
The proposals are obviously aimed
at substituting registration for the
white primary" and poll tax as a
deterrent to Negroes and poor
white people voting.

Southern Minister Relieved OF Duties
NAA(P fires BILB0'S
NEGRO PAL FOR
SELLING OUT HIS RACE

SAVANNAH, Ga, June 81
(ANP)-The local NAACP branch
has relieved the Rev. Lewis Lew
elyn Scott, pastor of the Second
Baptist church here, of his official
connections with the NAACP on
charges of selling out his race"
Rev. Scott, referred to as a friend
of Sen. Theodore G. Bilbo, was dis
missed from the NAACP staff for
writing a letter to the Mississippi
congressman, described as Amer
ica's leading race batter, against
the enactment of federal FEPC
legislation. Bilbo used Scott's let
ter to show that southern Negroes
opposed the establishment of a per-
manent fair employment practice
commission and had it read into
the Congressional Record.
An NAACP letter to Bilbo, writ
ten by DR.. Ralph Mark Gilbert,
president, read:
"We feel that you should not be
permitted to be under the impress
sion that Rev. Scott's position rep
resents the thinking and attitude
of the Negroes of the south. May
we say quite frankly and with the
greatest respect for your position,
that we are unalterably opposed to
your whole position and your whole
racial philosophy and the rank and
file of our people intellectually
condemn any member Of our race
who would traitorously lend himself
to so flagrantly sell out his race to
our avowed enemies as did Rev.
Scott.
"We trust that this information
will give you clear picture of just
how our people feel regarding this
whole matter and may state fur
ther that because of this action on
the part of Rev. Scott he no longer
has any official connection with our
organization.
