j. ). Refuses Blame
In French Failure 10
Back Security Farley

The United States has refused
to assume responsibility, attrib-
uted to it by the Paris press, for
Frances failing to become one
of the powers sponsoring the
United Nations Security Con-
ference at San Francisco next
month.
Apparently irked by Paris press
reports, the State Department last
night issued an official denial that
Ambassador jefferson Caffery had
failed to make it clear that Russia
and Britain had to be consulted on
proposed French reservations The
envoy, officials there said. had kept
Paris fully informed of consultations
among the Big Three as to the
reservations France wanted to make
to the invitation
According to the Paris reports.
Russia at the last moment turned
down the French reservations be-
cause of pique over the fact that
France had delayed too long in
answering. The reports further al
legged that Mr.. Caffery, when he
presented France an invitation on
February 1.-THE day after the
Crimea Conference ended-failed to
make it clear that Moscow and
London as we'll as Washington had
to be consulted about French res
ervations.
France, which insisted that the
invitations should state that spon-
soring governments retained the
right to suggest amendments to the
Dumbarton Oaks security draft
which Paris had no part in franz
ing, waited two weeks to reply to
Mr.. Caffery's invitation. the State
Department said. 1t then affirmed
that it would become sponsoring
power If its reservations were &C
cepted
Mr.. Caffery. according to the State
Department, then told the French
that the United States would have
to consult the other sponsoring
powers on the reservations. Mean
while, China. which also had been
invited TO sponsor the conference.
had accepted the invitation without
reservation.
The United States then consulted
Moscow and London and held up
issuance of the invita- tions for sew
eral days, trying to make it possible
for France to be included as a spon-
sor. Moscow, however, it is under
stood, rejected the Paris reserva-
tions, and so the invitations were
sent out by the Big Four only.

PITTSBURGH, Mar. 7 tP,.-Flood
waters from the Allegheny and Mon

crest at Pittsburgh today, forcing
hundreds from their homes in near

plant production.
ForecaSter w. S. BroUman of the

the waters would reach a high level

would not do serious damage in
PittSburgh's downtown area, affect

Tributary streams over Western
Pennsylvania were ebbing slowly,
the rate of the rise of the two big

New Bid 10 Argentina
To Rejoin Fold Due 10
Pass Today in Mexico
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, Mar. 7-The
1nter-American Conference was ex-
pected to pass today on a state
ment telling Argentina the Ameri-
can republics would like her back
in the family, but noting they are
prepared to stop any aggression in
the hemisphere.
Mexican Foreign Minister Eze-
ouiel Padilla said last night the
Argentine case would be taken up
at meeting of the Steering Com
mittee.
The conference hopes to wind up
most of its work late today at
plenary session.
A draft of the declaration on Ar
gentina. agreed on tentatively yes
terday by conference leaders, says
the American republics would like
Argentina to take necessary steps
to return to the fold.
However, 1t pointedly declared,
the Americas consider it essential"
to state they are united on a COM
mon policy of stopping any actual or
potential aggression in the hemi-
sphere.
Authoritative sources declined to
predict whether the statement would
De adopted by the Steering Commit
tee in its present form. There was a
likelihood that Argentina's neigh
bors-Chile, Bolivia Paraguay and
Uruguay-might find it difficult to
take too strong stand
The statement. as it stands, car
ries with it practical suggestions for
Argentina's s future conduct. These
include:
/. Cooperate with the other
American nations.
2 Practice a common policy.
3. Garry out its own policy so
she may become member of the
United Nations, obviously limiting
that Argentina declare war on the
Axis.
The statement points out that
there is complete solidarity among
the American republics toward
threats or acts of aggression by
any American state
1t says this common policy is
found in the Havana resolutions.
the Act of Chapultepec and in the
fact the American republics are
members Of the United Nations
At the same time, the statement
deplores that Argentina did not
alter the circumstances Which kept
her from participating in this con-
ference.
1t then expresses the hope that
Argentina will find itself in
position" to adhere to the princi-
pies and declaration of the Mexico

Free Flow Of All News.
Wins Fullest Support
AT Mexico Conference.
BY GARNETT ID. HORNER,
Star Staff Correspondent.

MEXICO CITY, Mar. IA COM
pletely free flow of news throughout
the world is called for by resolu-
ton receiving unanimous approval
at the Inter American Conference
here
Going further than the tradi-
tional democratic right of freedom
of the press to print whatever news
it is able to obtain. the resolution
emphasizing the obligations of the
American republics to guarantee to
their people free and impartial
access to sources of information
Formal signing of the resolution
by the foreign ministers at the final
plenary session of the conference
here this afternoon will mark the
first Endorsement by international
agreement of the principle cham
pioned by the United States Gov
ernment and press.
The spirit of the resolution domi-
mated this conference from the be-
ginning so that the American press
and radio have been able TO report
fully on most of the decisions while
they were in the making instead of
being handed out news about ac-
complished actions. This freedom
of access to information appeared
in sharp contrast to some other re-
cent International conferences such
as the Dumbarton Oaks meetings in
Washington last summer and PreSi-
dent Roosevelts Yalta Conference
with Prime Minister Churchill and
Premier Stain.
The resolution originated with the
United States delegation, but was
expanded to include views of other
delegates SO that it emerged as a
composite conference document
sponsored by all the delegations.
Secretary of State Stettinius said
it was based on the conviction that
IF we are to have an enlightened
public opinion information on cur
rent events and trends of thought
should be readily available to the
public"
He pointed out that maintenance
OF certain restrictions on publication
Of news are necessary during the
war for security purposes but de-
clared that when the war is over 1T
is our earnest hope that all countries
will contribute to the maximum
freedom of information which is so
important to intelligent world
opinion"

Negro Wants
Told Audience
By RayfOrd Logan

In spite of the handicap of a bad
cold, Rayford Logan, national presi-
dent of the Alpha Phi Alpha and
Howard University professor, gave
the annual meeting of the Mime
apolis Urban League a masterful
address, Monday night, on "The
Negro in the Postwar World"
Want No Special Privileges
Logan told the Benton Hall Y. W.
C. A. audience that the American
Negro did not seek special priv
ileges. All he wants, Mr.. Logan
said, is the same privileges, as
we'll as responsibilities as are ex-
tended other Americans.
Among the things that the Negro
wants in the postwar world, Mr..
Logan named:
a. Equal economic and job oppor-
tunity.
b. Equal protection under the
law.
c. Equal pay for equal work.
d. End to segregation and racial
separation which causes misunder-
standing, distrust and waste.
Police Chiefs Key to Riot
Prevention
In discussing the possibility of
race riots after the war, Mr.. Logan
stated that it had been found that
open outbreaks and racial disorder
seldom occur when the police chiefs
are competent men. He praised the
Washington, D. c., police chief.
Creation of New Markets
Logan said that the practical way
to jobs for all Americans after the
war was to raise the living and
wage standards of the $50 million
non-whites of the world, creating
new markets for American prod
ucts.
He said that the Firestone Rub
Der Company only paid the Liberian
government $4,000 per year for
two million acres of rubber produc-
ing trees!
Small wages universally paid ma
tive labor all over the world made
new markets for American manu-
featured radios, bath tubs, etc., i'm
possible, Mr.. Logan said.

Report On FEPC
Delegation In D. G..

A delegation of Minnesotans who
went to Washington, Feb. 27, to
lobby for permanent fair employ
ment practices act, with enforce
ment powers, gave an account of
their activities to the public Sunday
afternoon at a meeting in the Halle
@. Brown community house, spon-
sored by the st. Paul branch MAJ
CP.
Frank Boyd explained the steps
taken to reach the present FEPC,
and of the 100000 people it
would aid if made permanent. He
also told of how the group that
met to hear A. Philip Randolph,
Feb. 16, caught the spirit and
began to work Immediately after
he spoke on this delegation to
Washington committee.
Mrs. Ethel M. Williams gave the
happenings up to the time the
group arrived at the station in
Washington.
Rev. Kyle Hazelton spoke of the
group being escorted to Sen. Bill
bo's quarters, for their use, and
how ironic it was.
Rev. B. N. Moore gave his &C
count of the trip to the FEPC of
fees in Washington, the volunteer
office, where Ann Arnold Hedgeman
was on duty, carried on from gifts
from various sources, and of the
visit to the office set up under ex-
ecutive order, then over to see
Vice President Harry Truman, who
was in favor of the bill, and Senator
Joseph Ball who said he reads the
st. Paud Recorder. He said he
. favored a bill with enforcement
powers. Senator Henrik Shipstead
showed interest. Rev. Moore spoke
of how people were so polite to
them and were impressed, and how
there seemed to be fearlessness
about them and dignity throughout
the trip. They were able to achieve
greater knowledge of the FEPC
bill, and altogether they travelled
$500 miles.
Miss Garden described the visit
to Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt at the
White House. The meeting. which
was to last 10 minutes, lasted one
hour. She was very gracious and
was extended the courtesy of ap-
probation for giving them the time.
Mrs! Roosevelt, naturally, is in IA
vor of the bill and expressed her
concern over the returning of the
Negro soldiers.
Mr.. Schwartz gave the treasur-
er's report. The total contributions
made was $1,182.46. The FEPC
bill was to prevent employment dis
elimination, nothing to do with
prejudice. Enforcement powers
would give them a right to a hear
ing, to be able to subpoena records
and to sit like a court and listen
to evidence. If an employer dis
eliminated, court order could be
issued ordering the employer to
stop, and if violated, it would not
be in violation of the FEPC but
would be in violation of a court
order.
Letters were read in Washington
by Ruth Gage Colby from promi-
nent citizens of Minneapolis and
st. Paul. It was agreed by all
that the real fight lies ahead.
Dorothy Schultz, local commit
tee chairman of the NAACP, spoke
on the injustice done the soldiers
charged with mutiny, in the Port
