NOTED LEADERS SPEAK FOR
(0L0RED PEOPLE At
San FRANCISCO
Bu Mason Robertson


(ANP)-As the united nations !
conference ground through the
elaborate formalities of it's opening
sessions and began to settle down
to the real work, it more and more
appeared that the hopes of the col
onial peoples to gain some of their
objectives of equality, security and
economic progress were going to
be realized.
This hope comes out of the fact
that the final destiny of the colo
nial peoples is inseparably tied into
the action of the Big Four and in
the support of failure to support
their action on the part of the other
AZ nations here represented.
Although it is difficult at this
early date to be certain, it is pos
sible to say that so far, all indica-
tions are that this conference will
continue along the lines laid down
in the previous ones-that it will
create a world peace organization
in which the darker races Of the
world may realize many of their
hopes for betterment.
Strong and able voices are here
to advocate fair peace for the
darker races of the world. Amer
ica's finest Negro leadership is rep
resented. DR.. w. E. B. Dubois,
Walter White and Mrs. Mary Nc
Loed Bethune of the NAACP ar
rived in San Francisco last week
as a body officially designated by
the state department to be con-
sultants to the American delega-
ton. J. Finley Wilson, exalted ruler
of the Elks, arrived here Friday.
DR.. Max Yergan, head of the Coun-
Gil on African affairs arrived last
week end.
Walter White, executive secre-
tary of the NAACP pointed out
"We represent 18 major religious
groups other than the NAACP, and
we hope to voice the opinion of the
American Negro and the colored
peoples of the world It is ou1
hope as consultants to the Ameri.
can delegation to induce the Sar
Francisco conference to face what
is one of the most serious problems
of the goth century-the question
of race and color. We are particu.
larly concerned with what is done
about colonial empires and the wei
being of colonial peoples around the
world What happens to ever
the most exploited of these has di
rect bearing upon the future Of
Negroes in the United States
It is to be hoped that the United
States is not going into the Con
ference with any willingness Il
perpetuate colonial empires.

bill of rights which will include un-
equivocal affirmation of the equal
ity of all peoples and races"
Mary Mcleod Bethune, the great
educator, declared: "The people
should ask that the men and women
in whose hands and voices the deci-
sions are to be made should
have courage and inspiration to
bring the utmost concentration to
the breaking down of barriers for
greater liberty and brotherhood"
Mrs. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit,
veteran Indian women's leader and
sister of Jawaharlal Nehru, the In
dian leader now held in jail by the
British government, headed a del
egation Of Indians representing the
National Committee for India's
Freedom which arrived here last
week. Mrs. Pandit speaking to a
packed audience at Scottish Rite
auditorium, called for full consti-
tutional freedom for India and of
all other nations.
India is the pivot of the whole
system of imperialism and colonial
ism which always breeds war. In
dia's freedom therefore is an acid
test Of the principles for which this
war has been fought and the con-
tinued denial of India's freedom by
i Britain is negation of those prin-
ciples and of the sacrifices that
have been made to win victory"
she declared.
eve are here to remind the dele
gates that they have assembled for
: most solemn and sacred purpose
( to help achieve an enduring peace
, after the universal calamity Of this
global war; and to urge upon them
: the necessity of building Their
: structure of peace organization or
foundations of principle and inter.
: national justice rather than com
promise opportunism and politica
expediency."
: Clarence L. Simpson, chairman
/: of the Liberian delegation, which

e voice for racial equality in the con

4 ing for world security, Simpson
t said his delegation planned to pres
s for enlargement Of the importan
n security council to include a great
: er number of secondary nations.
e The presence of all these spokes
Il men are good omens for the con

HERE'S THE DOPE
ON SOLDIERS
DEPOSITS

Our thoughts now are on fight
ing and winning the war. However,
one of these days we'll be civilians
again, and we ought to be as well
prepared for peace as we are now
trained for war.
We can start now to make prepa-
rations. The Army has set up facili-
ties for our use. The Soldiers De-
posit plan is one. Here's the dope
on it:
@. What are Soldiers Deposits?
A. A savings plan which operates
in much the same way as civilian
bank account.
@. Can get money out if need
ite
A. Yes, subject to the approval
of your regimental or separate bat
talon commander, or on discharge
or relief from active duty.
@. Who may make deposits?
A. Any enlisted person.
@. Do Soldiers Deposits earn
interest?
A. Yes indeed. 40 annual inter-
est. if left on deposit six months or
more.

=. From the Soldiers Handbook
and nearly four years of soldering, I
have learned that the hand salute,
MAT varieties falls into definite
classes. The quality of a soldiers
hand salute depicts the quality of
his training and not his thoughts.
The following is a brief summary of
the common types of hand saluteS
executed in and around the COM
pany area. The cupped hand salute
which is given mostly by lieutenants
in particular with new bars and old
habits. A good co can cure his jun
ior officers of this habit by failing to
recommend for a promotion in a
couple Of years. At the end of this
time, they will have a fair concep-
tion of their Importance and begin
to salute as they expect their men
to do. :. No one can guess why our

@. I am about to be discharged
from the Army with a Blue Dis
charge without honor. Am I en-
titled to the benefits of the GI
Bill of Rights?
A. If you meet the other re-
quirements you are entitled to the
benefits of the CT Bill of Rights.
The only discharge which would
disqualify you is a dishOnorable
discharge.
@. I am a T/5. I have $27 per
month deducted from my pay for
family allotments. My insurance
premiums total $3.50 per month.
Recently I was sentenced by a court
martial to forfeit two-thirds of my
base pay for period of six months.
That would leave me nothing at all.
Can they do this to me? What will
happen to my insurance and allot-
mentS?
A. They sure can do it to you.
A court martial can take two
thirds of your base pay. AIlOt-
ments and insurance will con-
tinue, but the deductions will ac-
cumuiate and will be charged
against your pay after the court
martial sentence is paid up. Looks
like you'll be pinched for money
for a long time.
@. / returned from a 12-day
furlough SO hours late. That's adj
mi nd
AWOL, my co tells me I can't col
lect any subsistence money for any
of the TIME I was on furlough. That
doesn't seem fair. I can see where
they might have some right to de-
duct for the two days I was AWOL,
but I think I ought to collect for
the other IL days. Is there any regu-
lation on this?
"A. There is, and you're out of
luck. AR 35-452O Par (d) states
that a man who Overstays his fur
lOugh may be deprived of the
furlOugh allowance unless, of
course, the co wants to excuse
the AWOL, or there are extenu-
ating circumstances.
@. I left my wife more than a
year before I entered the Army,
and I have not seen her since.
she found out I was in
the Army and wrote to the War
for an allotment. They
have been deducting $22 month
from my pay for this allotment for
20 months. I don't think this is
fair, but my co says I can't have
the allotment stopped Is that right?
A. Your co is giving you the
straight dope. You can't stop the
allotment unless you get a divorce
from your wife without any award
of alim0ny.
@. I was in the State Militia for
two years before I was inducted
into the Army. Can I draw longev-
ity pay?
A. No, you can't. While the
National Guard had a Federal
status, State Militias and Home
Guards did not. Consequently You
cannot count the time you served
in the State Militia against lon
gevity.
Q. Is there any way I can make

book has been lost or destroyed you
will explain the circumstances in
an affidavit attached to the payroll.
@. Are my deposits subject to
claims of Indebtedness?
A. No.
@. Is it possible for my deposits
to be forfeited?
A. Only if you desert the army.
@. What happens to my money in
case die?
A. Your money, including interest
will be paid to your legal heirs.
@. Can I make deposits by means
of payroll deductions?
A. Yes. When you sign the pay
roll, state how much you want to
deposit.

Baltic are fighting with all the fan
aticiSm characteristic of the Japa-
neSe and have flooded areas in
Pomerania, using a technique which
held up Allied troops for weeks in
the West. But the fall of Stettin,

Reich, but SO far the results of the
drive have not been announced.
Numerous events in the Pacific
share the spotlight this week. One
of these was the announcement of
the conquest of Two Jima. This
bloody battle gave us "a pretty good
indication of how the Japanese will
defend their homeland. Already the
airfieldS on Two have been used by
our crippled B-29s returning from
raids on the Jap homeland.
These air attacks on the indus
trial cities of Japan have met with
tremendous succ ess. Incendiary
bombs have spread havoc and re-
duced the producing ability of Japan
to new low. The carrying of the
battle to the Jap fleet hidden in
inland seas provided another spec
tacular event this week. The Jap
fleet may now be SO crippled that
invasion of the Jap homeland may
soon be more than a dream. In the
dense jungles of Burma, British and
Indian troops have taken Mandalay,
and it seems that supplies can con-
tinue over the new StillWell road
