from the first draft of the security
conference charter there is much
hope that much of the exploitation
of colored peoples of the world will
be put to an end.
The charter is only the beginning
in this direction, DR.. Dubois
pointed out, predicting that the mo-
mentum of the movement will car
ry forward for greater freedom and
prosperity for the Indians, Afri-
cans and American Negroes as well.
Opposition to the Pan-American
movement, launched by DR.. Dubois
and other world colored leaders,
was contrasted to the surge for rec
ognition of the rights of all races
at the present security conference.
DR.. Dubois, formerly head Of the
sociology department of Atlanta
university, is now connected with
the research department of the
NAACP at New York.

there COMES THE C0-EDS"

The latest Abbott and Costello
film, Here Comes the Co-Eds," is
one of the funniest in which these
two stars have appeared for some
time. All their tried and true laugh
formulaes are used and some new
ones are added to keep the audience
in stitches.
Phil Spitalny and his all-girl or
chestra add many pleasant mo-
ments, and Peggy Ryan, Martha
O'Driscoll and Lon CLANCY provide
the light romantic touch.
"Here Comes the Colds" to-
gether with "Guns Of the Pecos"
and chapter 6 of the serial "Man-
hunt Of Mystery Island" will be
screened at the Palace Theatre on
Friday and Saturday, June 29th
and 30th.

gave for the armed forces on the

DR.. w. E. B. Dubois, one of three
official consultants for the NAACP

saw hope for great good and more
opportunity for darker races of the
world as the result of the meeting.
Tracing the history of the change
of thought and aspiration of
worlds colored peoples from the
Paris exposition through the Pan
African conference, the struggles
of the NAACP and other fighting
organizations, DR.. Dubois said that

Most thoughtful Americans have
deplored with them the irrational
nature Of this feeling and been
equally baffied to put their finger
on concrete causes. It Is not often
that one such shows up, but one
certainly did few days ago when
Prof. Harold j. Laski, chairman Of
the British Labor party, making
his first public appearance in this
country since 1899, spoke at q din
ner where the problem Of the
atomic bomb was supposed to be
the topic of discussion.
Critic of U. S. System.
1t is true that Prime Minister
Attlee, who made very favorable
personal impression here on his
recent visit, has said more than
once that Mr.. Laski does not speak
either for him or for the Labor
government. Nevertheless, his posi-
ton in the Labor party is such as
TO give his utterances more weight
than II he had no such connection.
To put it mildly, these utterances
Ut this dinner were unfortunate. No
one would contend that they con-
tributed to the betterment of Brit
ish-American relations.
What the professor did was to
seize on the atomic bomb as an
excuse for making an attack on the
American free-enterprise system
and unfavorably contrast 1t to the
socialistic system which he espouses.
His idea seemed to be that the
bomb makes 1t necessary for us to
scrap our system and turn either
to his or that of the Russians.
Our form Of economy, he indi-
Gated, was the direct road to serf-
dom and q nation with such a
system rs ours could not be trusted
to develop atomic energy within the
framework Of peace.
These were typical Of the profess
sor's remarks. His whole notion
seemed to be to prove that because
we cling to such . silly old thing as
the free-enterprise system we were
unfit to handle the atomic-energy
problem and that If we attempted
to do so, disaster would follow. Hav-
ing unburdened himself Of these
profound and ingratiating thoughts,
Prof. Laski had his picture taken
with the Russian-born Sidney Hill
man Of the Go who doubtless was
In complete accord, and then pro-
ceeded on his round of visits and
speeches.
Question Of Taste.
Now, no one disputes the right of
the professor to say what he thinks.
This, like his own, Is a country Of
free speech and Mr.. Laski has the
right to 60 as far as he likes. How
ever, 1t Is permissible to question
the taste Of his utterances Is well
as their sense. Concerning their
effect, it seems likely that they have
increased rather than diminished
that anti-British sentiment which
Is 80 deeply regretted by discerning
Americans as well as by the British.
Certainly, too, Mr.. Laski's volu-
BILE criticisms Of the American way
Of life came at . particularly bad
time for the financial negotiations
still going on between the two gov
ernments, the success of which Is
important to both the British and
ourselves. Considering all the cir
cumstances and conceding that Mr..
Laski speaks only for himself, it
still seems that, as one newspaper
editorially expressed it, the British
