By HAROLD PREECE

The foreign ministers of the
Americas held their meeting in
Mexico City to chart what we hope
will be a new civilization, based on
the unity of man, in our hemi-
sphere.
Representatives from the United
States sat down with representa-
tives of predominantly Negro ma
lions like Panama and Haiti and
representatives of predominantly
Indian nations like Guatemala and
Paraguay to thrash out the ques-
tions which must be answered if we
are to build that civilization which
kindled the hearts of the white
liberator, Simon Bolivar; and the
black iberator, Toussaint LOWER
ture.
Questions considered on the
agenda of that conference in Mexi-
co City included industrialization Of
that great colored world called
Latin America which stretches
from the Rio Grande to Cape Horn,
immigration policies (which may
vitality affect U. S. Negroes wishing
to emigrate to Latin America) },
agricultural development of the
rich and almost unsettled Amazon
River basin, labor, and-Argentina.
Emergent Democracy
It is good to see the emergent
democracy of the Americas-the
democracy born in a log cabin with
the white man, Abraham Lincoln;
and in a thatched shack on the
Mexican coast with the black man,
Vicente Guerrero-meeting the
challenge of that reactionary die
tatorship based on the enslavement
of the Negro and the Indian which
is Argentina. Maybe, the nations of
the Americas are more alert to the
danger of Argentina's Hitler, Juan
Domingo Peron, than the nations of
Europe were to the threat of that
first monster who started out by
enslaving the Jews.
But there is one unfinished ques-
ton on the agenda at Mexico City.
It is the question of color discrimi-
nation.
1t is a question that the civiliza-
ton of the Americas will have to
answer what with the white land
lords enslaving Negroes in the
Carolinas and white landlords en-
Shaving Indians in Bolivia.
The leaders of the Americas still
must convince the colored majority
of the Americas-the Negroes
reaping cotton in Texas and sugar
cane in Cuba, the Indians conscript-
ed to work the mines in Bolivia and
the great landed estates in Peru
that their opposition to the AFRO
giant imperialism of Argentina is
based upon their hatred of Argen-
tina's maniac racism.
Outlaw Jim Crow
There is one sure way that they
can prove to the colored peoples
that their opposition to Argentina
is based upon something besides
business rivalries and spheres of in
fluence. The way is simple one

Unity Among Nations in
Western Hemisphere Must
Mean Racial Equality

a treaty outlawing discrimination
in all countries of the Americas to
be drawn up by the foreign minis
tiers of the Americas and submitted
to the governments of the Americas
for discrimination. Though the
Haitian delegation succeeded in
getting this included in the Chapul-
tepec Agreement, it must be writ
ten in the form of a treaty.
Such a treaty would not have to
be a long and involved document.
The Declaration of Independence
can be read and understood by the
poorest man in a few minutes. So
can the Sermon on the Mount and
the Emancipation Proclamation of
Abraham Lincoln. Sometimes, the
greatest thoughts of mankind are
voiced in the simplest words of
mankind.
Last summer, in Mexico City, one
of the leading organizations of the
Americas passed a resolution urg-
ing that the countries of the Ameri-
cas- adopt a treaty forever outlaw
ing racial and color discrimination
in the countries of the Americas.
That organization was the Inter-
American Bar Association, COM
posed of lawyers from many coun-
tries of the Western Hemisphere.
The resolution was sponsored by
Antonio Perales, a Mexican-Ameri-
can lawyer from San Antonio,
Texas. 1t was supported by law
yers from Mexico, Puerto Rico, and
many other Latin American coun-
tries but, unfortunately was op-
posed by most of the lawyers from
the United States.
American Lawyer Calls Turn
But one American lawyer called
the turn and what he had to say at
Mexico City, last summer, should
have been read carefully by the
leaders of the Americas meeting in
Mexico City, last week. He is the
Hon. Robert W. Kenney, Attorney
General of California, and one of
our most distinguished fighters for
human rights. Said Mr.. Kenney, in
part:
eve simply cannot pretend to
seriously discuss ways and means
of enhancing inter-American
friendship without facing this issue
(the issue of discrimination
squarely and uncompromisingly.
"The Western Hemisphere is
made up of peoples of many differ
ent nationalities, races, and lam
guages. Unity among US can there
fore be established only on the basis
of racial and national equality.
"The doctrines of racial superb
ority' which is not only practiced in
the United States, but in some
places actually embedded in the
law, is deeply resented throughout
Latin America. Furthermore, it
has been a propaganda weapon of
the Nazi enemy, effectively used as
a Fifth Column device to drive a
wedge into our war collaboration.
Surely this is not a situation
conducive to postwar unity"

 Use Small Combs For Fuller Golf
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Here's a hair-raising stunt hoisting hair with hidden combs if you want to wear a fat-top coll and think you can't.
 Eddie Senz, famed style counsel Tor to New Yorks and Hollywood'S glamor girls. says to part your hair just as the youngsters do who wear it flat as seals on top of their hears, and swing it up from the temples. But before you swing, stick in small tuck combs for padding, which MT. Senz says will raise hair as much as one and one-half inches.
 If you wan to modify your flat top coif, MT. Senz suggests side rolls for your hair, lodged high above the temples, and good trick
 you'll have to have hair long enough to plait or an artificial piece for this one-is to build height across the top of your head with 8 braid

If you want to get the real bene- fit out of today's hand, suggest that you not look at the North and South cards.
 Now the point is, when North plays the queen of spades to the first trick. what should you play from the East hand?
 I gave this hand to quite few experts. You know. q lot of them said, Well, 1t does not make much difference whether you win the first trick or not"
 You can have lot of fun with your friends with this hand be- cause you have to win that first trick with the ace of spades. You know that the lead of the deuce of spades is a singleton so if you play low OH the first spade trick. North will shift to the jack of diamonds and defeat your contract. So you win the first trick with the ace of spades.
 Now you can lead either heart or a club and you will have the timing on the hand to knock out the king of hearts and the king of clubs before South can set the diamonds. Yes, South could have defeated the hand had he opened diamond.

Once, he tried vainly to be a court reporter and again he struggled to perfect himself as a railroad clerk-and then he wound up on Broadway as a chorus boy in "The Flirting Princess. His family got him out of that immedi- ately.
 His mother lived to see him tri- umph and was completely won over to his chosen career. Bill has been happy ill it ever since.

 and 8 sweet odorless breath. But some babies who are fed on cows milk have a white coating on the tongue. This need cause no con- cern unless the tongue looks in- famed or the breath is bad. This may foreshadow digestive dis turbance that should be reported to the physician.
 When bottles or nipples are care- lessly sterilized or handled, the baby'S mouth may become infected and show small white spots or patches on gums, tongue or inside of cheeks.
 PACIFIER UNNECESSARY
 The home nurse may try moist ening a small piece of sterile cot- ton with boiled water, dipping it in little baking soda and touch- ing the spots with 1t, taking care not to rub them. This should be done after each feeding for day or so. If the spots do not disap- pear physician should be con- suited. If the condition is allowed to continue the spots may become quite painful and in severe cases may interfere with feeding
 The fashioned pacifler is an- other source of possible infection in the baby's mouth. It has long ago been condemned and should never be given to the baby. It is not necessary for him to have some thing to suck on constantly. If he Is properly fed and cared for he will be happy without a pacifler.
