fhhAt
 Gen. Carl Spaatz will definitely succeed Gen. Hap Arnold as head of the Army Air Forces. Maj. Gen. Edmund H. Leavey will suc- ceed Gen. Charles P. Gross as head of Army Transportation. This may help to speed troop movements. :. Congressman Hugh Delacey of Seattle demands that all American troops be withdrawn from China immediately and that use of all American lend-lease for the Chi nese civil war be stopped. He'll have a hard time putting this across as long as the policies of Ambassador Patrick J. Hurley prevail in China. Those very cooperative Swiss have now informed us that we can't recover the Nazi loot Hitler stole and hid in Switzerland-if it was stolen before 1940. No, their five-year Statute of Limitations has expired, say the Swiss. which means that any Nazi who stole from the Allies in the first two years of the war and took his booty to Switzerland can now escape scot free. Maybe we shouldn't blame the Swiss too much, however. Con- gressman Hatton Summers of Dallas, Texas, has just reported out a bill which would reduce the U. S. Statute of Limitations to a mere one year (not five as in Switzer- land) when it comes to violation of a national bank law. Wage-hour fraud, or surplus property scandal.

 CAPITOL CHAFF
 Ed Pauley is so desperate to stick the political knife into Harold Ickes' back that his close crony Judge Wellburn Mayock, made a special trip to Puerto Rico and issued a blistering report damning Governor Rex Tugwell and the Ickes administration of Puerto Rico. Mayock, who uses his office in Democratic National Committee headquarters to lobby for oil legis- lation, owes his job to Pauley. Both are dead opposed to 1ckes' plan of rescuing submerged oil lands-from whence Pauley derives most of his large income.
 President Truman is worried about the Breton Woods Agreement, which only three countries have ratified. Unless two-thirds of the countries ratify Breton Woods by Jan. l, the whole thing will col lapse However, it looks as if the

CHURCH NOTES

Pilgrim Baptist Church: For Fellowship
Units Drive Day the Sermon topic was,
You Have Circled This Mountain Long
EnoughP' This textual topic is found in
Deuteronomy 2:3. Rev. Massey made use
of chapter one of the book, which gives
the story of the children of Israel, when
they had neared Canaan. Their disagree
ments and arguments indicated the Lib
erals and Conservatives" The Conserva-
gram of action and achievement of the
goal. When it was too late they woke up
and rallied only to meet defeat. After
defeat and wandering Jehovah told them,
you have circled this mountain, Sire,
long enough, turn northward." Our admoni-
ton was to profit by his mistakes of the
Israelites. We, as well, as the Christian
Church everywhere, must cease circling
mountains and accomplish our task on
is not enough; we must follow through or
listening to the time-is-not-ripers, we
shall be doomed to defeat and purposeless
wandering in the wilderness.
The children's story was: "They Built
the Walls"
The Sunday evening hour speaker was
Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, field worker,
National Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, Evanston, III. She was thought
provoking and had warmth in the mes
sage.
The visitors were Dan C. Presley, 518 St.
Anthony; Alfred R. Hampton, San Fran
cisco, Calf. Julius Gardner, Milwaukee,
Wis; Roosevelt Harmon, 667 W. Central !;

this darkness, explorers, soldiers,
a d m inis t r ators, missionaries,
settlers and technicians, aided by
courageous natives, anxious to
bring better living conditions to
their fellows, slowly brought a
new day of prosperity, justice, and
individual security and dignity.
The new Code is the direct out
growth of the Brazzaville Confer
ence and certain preliminary legis-
lation effective since that time.
Provisions of the Code cut across
all ethnic groups and local eco
nomic and social conditions. Not
only is this Code basic to a new
organization of labor in Africa,
but it is also flexible and effec-
tive framework for progressive re-
forms.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1945-10-05

ployers must maintain complete
files on all employees, files constant
ly available to government inspec-
tors. A six-day week, an eight
hour day, and a ten-day vacation
with pay are provided by the Code.
Children under fourteen years of
age are not allowed to work; those
between IA and IS may do so under
special conditions.
Health and security measures
are enforced by administrative
services. Every concern with more
than 1000 employees must have a
company doctor. A firm with more
than 100, employees must provide a
medical attendant. Smaller con-
Germs must maintain first aid sta
tons. Employers will finance med
ical care for both the worker and
his family. Labor inspectors may
demand physical examinations for
women and children to make GER
tain that their work assignments
will not undermine their health.
Equal work brings equal pay;
discrimination against women is
abolished. All workers are en-
titled to pensions after being en-
ployed for a certain number of
years, whether or not they con-
tinue to work. Temporarily, until
regular old-age pension funds are
established, these pensions will be
financed by employers or, in some
cases, by administrative subsidies.
Indemnities are paid for industrial
accidents.
Since the Labor Code is also
concerned with the welfare of the
workers family, it provides for
family allowances and a house and
plot of ground. Free transporta-
ton is available whenever the
worker is transferred from one
plant to another.
Affected by the Labor Code are
Senegal, Guinea, Ivory Coast,
Sudan, Mauritania, and Nigeria in
French West Africa; Gabon, Mid
die Congo, Ubangi-Shari, and Tchad
in French Equatorial Africa; and
the Cameroons, Togo, and French
Somaliland. In this region some
ten years ago, slavery, war, star
walton, and general economic insta-
bility were commonplace. Out of

Based on the principle of free
dom of work and including provi-
sions of equal pay for equal work,
minimum wages, and pensions, a
new labor code for French Africa
has recently been established by the
Ministry of Colonies in Paris.
To safeguard rights of the indi-
vidual worker, all contracts be-
tween him and his employer can
not exceed a two-year period. These
contracts are carefully examined for
possible loopholes by administra-
tive services, labor inspectors, and
a Consultative Committee repre-
senting both labor and manage
ment. In case of disagreement as
to the Interpretation or validity of
contracts, the argument goes be-
fore an arbitration committee COM
posed of a government official and
representatives of management
and labor. If worker has to ap-
pear in court for such arbitration,
he is provided with a lawyer free
of charge.
Women technical advisors check
on all matters concerning employ
ment of women and children. En-

STATESMANLIKE

Statesmanlike was the sugges-
ton last week by Senator Vanden-
berg that business and labor hold
parley for industrial peace. He
wants it held under Government
auspices, but this is hardly neces-
sary. Indeed, the quicker business
and labor leaders learn to compose
their differences without Govern
ment intervention, the better it
will be for the future of liberty
here.-Geo. S. Schuyler in the
Pittsburgh Courier.

SUPREME COURT

With the liberal and conserva-
tive forces of this nation fighting
a life and death struggle for SUI
premacy in this nation, the Su-
preme Court looms as one of the
determining factors as to which
side will win. Had it not been for
a changed Supreme Court, the
Roosevelt administration would not
have been able to do many of the
things it set out to do. With the
war over, many of the things the
Supreme Court said this nation
could do during the emergency,
must now be passed upon again as
part of our peace-time pattern.
There will be all kinds of litigation
involving the rights of soldiers, the
rights of labor as we'll as the rights
of capital.-W. o. Walker in the
Cleveland Call & Post.
INDEPENDENT, CAPABLE
The Negro press is one of the
few Negro institutions in the Unit
ed States which is completely
owned, controlled and operated by
colored people, and for this reason,
is undoubtedly the most independ-
ent and most capable of voicing
the hopes and aspirations of the
public it serves. - Pittsburgh

The Family Mite service at p. m. was
a fine program of song and praise. The
missionary lady, Miss Frances Quinton,
held US transfixed as she revealed her
struggle to educate and to Christianize
the darker peoples of Southern Rhodesia.
She said that if she had stayed only three
years she would have reported dismal
failure. However, she served for twenty
six years and developed the art of living

primitive life of the African people is

The mission students have as high in
