tions in which a we'll paying prac-
tice can be established. Successful
veterinarians have incomes which
run from $4,000 to $4,000 per year
and in exceptional cases have been
known to exceed $4,000 per year.
Governmental employment as
veterinarian, field in which many
of the early veterinary doctors en-
tered, pays $1,000 per annum. This
field. however, is not now the most
attractive. There is demand for
instructors in veterinary science
and bacteriology in many colleges
throughout the country.
Owners of large herds Of live
stock are employing veterinarians
as managers and for professional
services. The United States army
has used veterinarians, making
them commissioned officers.
DR.. Evans himself when he was in
Texas enjoyed one of the best veter-
mary practices in the country, his
clients being for the most part white
livestock men in that section. The
new school here conforms to stand
ards set up by the American Veteri-
nary Medical association and will
open for it's first session in Septem-
Der. Veterinary schools throughout
the country, of which there are but
13, have waiting lists for applicants
and during recent years Negro stu
dents ambitious for a career in this
field have found it difficult to find
a school in which they might ma
circulate.

LAWYERS GUILD ASKS
DAWSON TO BACK
HASTE FOR JUDGE

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is CAMP
A delegation from the National
lawyers guild which called upon
Rep. William L. Dawson CD of
illinois for his support in behalf of
William H. Hastie to fill one of
.hree vacancies on the district court
Of appeals, came away without any
commitment of support, but some
among them felt that the conversa-
tions "were useful"
The group included Fowler V.
Harper, solicitor, department of in
erior; George M. Johnson, FEPC
deputy chairman; Harry McAlpin,
National Bar association; Lee
Pressman, CIO special counsel; and
Roy Garvin, Afro-American circu-
alton manager in Washington.
The group advanced HASTE as
he logical man. He is a former fed
3ral judge having served as district
Judge in the Virgin islands. The job
under consideration is rated much
higher, however.
Dawson is understood to have
old the group that he has no per-
5onal objection to HASTE but ex-
planned to them that he preferred
to see the appointment go to some
one who had labored long in the
political vineyards. He is repre-
5ented also to have indicated his re-
sentiment against the NAACP os-
tensibly a non-political organiza-
ton which, as he sees it, is trying
to exercise itself in the political
field.
Meanwhile, support for HASTE
continues to develop. Last week CIO
President Philip Murray recon-
mended HASTE to President Tru-
man.

west indies COLONIES
MAY BECOME A
BRITISH FEDERATION


LONDON, Aug. 1S (ANP) )-The
question of political federation has
been addressed to governors of
seven British colonies in the Carib-
bean area.
That revelation was made here by
the secretary of the state before the
house of commons. A dispatch has
been sent to the governors of Ba-
hamas, Barbados, British Guiana,
Jamaica, Leeward islands, Trinidad
and Winward islands, he said.
The question of political fedora
tion is in line with British policy
to quicken the progress of all col
onial peoples toward self-govern-
ment, he declared. The ultimate aim
of such federation will be full in
ternal self-government within the
British commonwealth.
In the British Caribbean colonies
the more immediate purpose of de
veloping elf-governing institu-
tions in the Individual territories
should keep in view the larger prof.
ect of their political federation as
being the end to which the policJ
should be directed in accordance
with the view of the Royal commits
sion of 1889, he pointed out
An important point emphasized
in the dispatch is that attention
should not be concentrated solely on
the political aspect of federation.
The work of the Anglo-American
Caribbean commission, notably the
West Indian conference held in
Barbados in March, 1914, and the
organization under the comptroller
for development and welfare, have
brought the West Indies much
closer together.
No outside force will be employed
to make the colonies accept fedora
ton, the secretary of state declared.
Such political unity must "come
from within and not from outside
the area" even though the British
government will attempt to promote
such a unity and remove obstacles
that may block federation.
The question of one or two fed
erations is to be decided by the
colonies themselves. A Winward is
lands conference on constitutional
reform was held in January with a
recommendation that a joint con-
ference should be held with the Lee
wards to discuss federation. The

new APPROACH TO PROBLEMS
OF SOUTH URGED

VI 0VOuuH ONVbD
TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Aug. 1e
(ANP)-Some 800 educators have
prepared detailed survey of con-
ditions in the south which con-
cludes that the nations best eco
nomic opportunity lies within this
area and improvement of the gen
eral plan of education is the key to
it's fulfillment. The volume was com
piled by members of the Southern
States Work Conference on Educa-
ton.
The study finds that although the
south has abundant resources, it
has the lowest level of living be-
cause "a large proportion of human
and naural resources . /. have either
been wasted or uneconomically util-
lied.
From the point of view of science
and natural laws, there is no neces-
sity for these conditions to be con-
tinued. The solution can come only
as result of human foresight and
planning on the part of Southerners
supplemented by the interest and
cooperation of the citizens of the
entire nation"
The chief problem, the study
found, is to improve the understand
ing and change the attitude of the
people and develop skills that "as
yet have been only partially de-
veloped.
''The major responsibility for
bringing about these improvements
rests on the schools and educational
institutions of the region. While the
schools alone cannot be expected to
solve this problem, it cannot be
solved without their intelligent and
aggressive cooperation.
"The work of the schools and ed
ucational institutions must be re-
adjusted in many fundamental re-
spects so as to contribute directly
and deliberately at all levels ''to the
attainment of the major objective. !"
AS to southern economy, the re-
port brought out that "the southern
states have one-third of the nation s
children to educate with one-eighth
of the nations tax-paying ability
and one-sixth of the nations school
income.
'The typical southern state pro-
vides for higher education only 80
cents per inhabitant as against
$1.70 in the typical state in the rest
of the nation.
''The south has 28.11 per cent of
the total population, but 3348 per
cent of the nations unskilled work
ers, only 1888 per cent of the skill
ed workers, 20.30 per cent of the
professional women and 1859 per
cent of the clerks and kindred work
ers.
