which Prof. Walter R. Chivers is
chairman.
In this discussion of Vital En-
ployment Problems Affecting Ne
groes," Mr.. Thomas declared in
one of the seminar sessions that
there are two things Americans
can do without: (1) the idea that
Negroes do not have capacity for
all jobs, and (2) that there is a So
cial difference between whites and
Negroes.
The only hope Thomas sees in
sofar as the economy of the nation
is concerned is that the factor of
race be taken out and that people
be employed on the basis of skill
and capacity to do a job. Until that
is done, he believes the economic
problems of Negroes will continue.
Speaking against segregated la
Dor unions, Thomas declared that
employment is beginning to be put
on a class basis and that until black
and white workers can understand
that no worker can endure as long
as another is threatened there will
be no progress.
Expansion of job opportunities
for the 100000 Negroes who will
soon be looking for jobs is neces-
sary now, Thomas said, and urged
the sales field as one of the most
important areas for job opportun-
tiles in the next 10 years.

NAVY TO keep NEGRO
RATINGS AND COMMISSIONS
By Ernest E. Johnson

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1a
(ANP)-Negroes with ratings and
commissions are in the navy for
keeps-and that goes for the coast
guard and the marine corps.
The Associated Negro Press has
just completed a survey of the
plans of the several branches that
compromise the navy as to the fu-
ture role of Negroes in service. Un-
equivocal statements made by top
ranking officials of the branches
attest to the fact that experience
growing out of World War II in
the utilization of Negro personnel
has substantially justified their in
clusion in the respective postwar
organizations.
This is in sharp contrast to
things which happened following
World War / when Negroes in the
navy were demobilized, and those

Whereas experience is justifyin

stemming from the office of Nav
Secy. James V. Forrestal who, i
the short time that he has heade
up the department, has shown
greater insistence upon fullest util
ization of Negro personnel thai

Donfeld said that the future
navy will be volunteer organiza
ton, and that Negro volunteers
will be accepted with no holds

coming in at the rate of 500 a day
he said, but no breakdown was
available on Negro re-enlistments
The service will continue to adhere

quota in 1943, but will show nc
hesitance about going over that if
warrants. Congress is
authorizing peacetime strength of
100000 men for the navy.
Negroes were admitted to gen.
eral service in the navy in April,
1912, for the first time since World
War /. On VI day there was a
peak strength of 10000 enlisted
Negroes serving with the navy. On
Nov. 6 there were SO commissioned
four nurses and % Off
Ger candidates. These figures are
exclusive of the marine corps and
coast guard.
Speaking for the coast guard,
Rear Adm. Joseph F. Farley, chief
personnel officer, said that the
branch would be returned to the
authority and jurisdiction of the
treasury department six months
after the peace proclamation. He
stated that "there will be absolute
fairness" in the handling of Negro
personnel. "Our past record has
shown that"
Discussing performance of Ne

"they were just about average Of

MORE YOUNG PEOPLE MUST
PREPARE FOR SKILLED JOBS

ATLANTA, Nov. 13 (ANP)-
Julius Thomas, National Urban
league industrial relations director,
told a Morehouse college forum
audience that American Negroes
must be more realistic in the educa-
tion of our people and revamp our
educational philosophy.
Speaking in the first of More
houses sociology seminars which
will bring notables to Atlanta dur
ing the year, Mr.. Thomas advised !:
1--WE must get down to earth on
economy and see that more young
people prepare for jobs requiring
chronological skills." He denounced
an educational program that pro-
vides countless numbers of degreed
graduates to only one trained elec-
trician, stating that there is some
thing wrong with an economy of
that kind. The young people COM
ing out of service must be given
the idea that they are not limited
in their opportunities, the speaker
pointed out, and 1--WE must present
new trends and point people to new
ways of making living"

Why Way for Britain?
Washington Post)

Washington Pos)
 Lord Keynes has made it plain that failure to obtain from the aid needed to reconvert British industries and expand British export trade sufficiently to import requirements will necessitate reten- ton of various defensive" trade controls In other words Britain will have to continue to rely upon exclusive batera agreements of the Hiterian type in which purchases from any country are matched against sales of British goods to that country. The result would be the antithesis of the goal at which aim-multilateral trade on expanding basis. However if forced to rely upon their own limited resources there other feasible open to the British They are not indulging in threats aimed at obtaining concessions when they draw unacceptable conclusions from the premises.
 The feature of Lord Keynes statement that makes 1t noteworthy is the decisveness with which he embraces the alternative open to Britain in we provide needed aid That alternative is to return "a the earliest possible date to normal trade practices without discrimination and to increased freedom and iberality in commercial and tariff policies By ing himself alongside those people who believe that liberal trade policies will result in a general ex- panson of world trade bringing increased prosperity to both Britain and the United States, Lord Keynes dspels fears that the British have become psycho- logically welded to the system of trade controls that has served them in wartime. His admission that good many people in England in favor of exclusive agreements is. however, reminder that the British do have a choice of alternatives. Undoubtedly they could manage to exist under system that would sharply curtail their imports. And, Lord Keynes notes the sterling countries have their resources tied up in Britain and will, therefore be unable to trade freely with the rest of the world unless the British are in a strong enough position to release some of these frozen foreign balances for use elsewhere
 Lord Keynes statement clearly implies that the British ready to offer substantial trade con- sessions, such adjustments of Empire trade pre- ferences and tariff reductions, in return for financial aid adequate to tide them a critical transition period. Such trade concessions would be infinitely more valuable to from long-range viewpoint than any commitments Britain might give to pay interest loans advanced to her In fact, commercial loan arrangement would add to the volume of Brtain's burdensome external debt and would as Lord Keynes says, bs soft and deceptive expedient,
 The negotiations in progress call for long, range grasp of the issues at stake. We think Lord Keynes is justified in assuming that the entire world will benefit if a workable plan can be evolved that will enable the British to return in the not too distant future to the normal trading practices of prewar years

ANOTHER GOING OVER

Representative Jed Johnson chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Subcommittee yester day gave Alaska another going in report to Congress.
 The trend of the report is that Alaskans aren't doing enough for themselves in the way of raising taxes, building roads, hospitals, schools etc
 We pointed out several weeks ago that far as Alaska is concerned the per capita tax here almost double that of Johnsons own State of Oklahoma It appears that Johnson has done very little research but has simply taken the word of some other critic of Alaska and has been msinformed The list of charges he makes familiar to for have heard the for the last three sessions of the Territorial Legislature in the message of the Governor of Alaska to the Legislature and this should be a good ndica- ton to his source of information.
 The committees report advised veterans against homesteading in the Territory without careful personal investigation of the opportunities and ditions under which they would live But the com mittee forgot to mention that the Interior Department has most of the valuable land under lock and key, anyhow and would the rest for the Indians.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4

After the early morning hours oenefic aspects rule today which should be noteworthy for some in- dustrial development in which labor cooperates as partner.
 HEART AND HOME
 Women are subject to the most favorable planetary influences under this configuration which stimulates both emotions and ambitions. It is 8 lucky wedding day and most aus picious for new associations of men and women.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Autumn trade will continue brisk. Clothing merchants will profit sub stantially this month when uniforms are exchanged for civilian garb.
 NATIONAL ISSUES Overlapping city, county, state and Federal Government agencies will be the cause of widespread criticism. The subject of duplication of work in many branches of the peoples business is to be discussed, with in sistent demands for needed economy.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 At the beginning of the Second World War seers read in the stars a hint that when peace finally is at tained, none of the Big Three who directed United Nations policies will retain power This prophecy has been partially fulfilled.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of success that will as sure the best mental development. Women will be happy in the home circle.
 Children born on this day probably will be extraordinarily gifted and energetic. They should be taught system and order.

Pat Harrison of Mississippi and has thrived there ever since. First he was Commissioner of the District of Columbia, later became Vice President of the Home Insurance Company, which he still is.
 But the smartesu thing George ever did was to attach himself to the Truman Presidential cam paign train last year and become the close buddy of the man who was to be President. While big-shot politicians were hanging around Roosevelt, George Allen travelled with the neglected President, amused him and helped write his speeches.
 So now, Allen is constantly around the White House, potent, charming, and very reactionary ad- wiser. He was even consulted about the three new judges for the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia which may be one reason why Truman picked three ex-supporters of the power com- panies. He was also given credit for working with Leo Crowley suddenly to terminate Lend-Lease. Finally, he is credited with author ing the Senate memo which under mined the Kilgore $25- Com pensation Bill.
 Whether the memo was sent without Truman's reading it, or whether he read it too hastily, is

 Credit for writing Barkley this letter, now found to be directly contrary to Truman's real stand, is given to George Allen, who is turning out to be the most potent mystery figure around the White House.

 CONGRESSWOMAN IN A HAREM
 The fabulous Ibn Saud, absolute ruler over millions of Arabs, broke the precedent of centuries by greet ing a lady outside harem. She was white haired Mrs. Frances Bolton, Republican Congresswoman from Cleveland.
 Ibn Saud refused to sit down at dinner with Mrs. Bolton, however, and she had her dinner in Ibn Saud's harem, while six male Con- gressmen ate camel meat and vari- ous other delicacies at the table of the King himself.
 Mrs. Bolton had accompanied the CongreSSmen to the Palace, even though it was not expected that she would be permitted an audi ence with the King. She entered his presence with the men, despite the growls of outraged Arab cour- tiers After greeting Mrs. Bolton, Ibn Saud discreetly suggested that she might like to visit the harem, which she did
 The Congresswoman from Ohio stayed with the Kings ladies through most of the visit, but re- turned to the men later, dressed in native costume. At that particular moment, the King was complain ing to the CongresSnen about the high cost of living, and roughly , grabbed hold of Mrs. Bottoms robe to illustrate in detail the cost of each part of her costume. Seeing that the men in the party had been given full native costumes and various other gifts, Mrs. Bolton made no offer to return the gar ments given her.
 The male members of Congress were not permitted even a peek ir the harem. They were Representa- tives Karl Mundt of South Dakota Victor Wickersham of Oklahoma Chester Merrow of New Hampshire Walter Huber and Mike Feighan o1 Ohio and A. s. J. Carnahan o1 Missouri.

STRIKE ACTION COMING

Cautiously, he added, and I may be doing something about the strikes before long"
 One argument Truman didn't answer in advance was that of fered by Representative Sid Camp of Georgia Camp agreed with several other members-Mills of Arkansas, West of Texas and Gregory of Kentucky-that $25 per week was a high figure for com pensation payments.
 Tn my state, my folks wouldn't feel any too good about that. Camp told his colleagues Hardly any of them would be able to col lect $25 a week because they'd have had to be earning twice that much while they were working in order to be eligible for the $25. And $50 a week is an awful high figure for Georgia"
 Truman made it clear among other things that he was abso- lutely opposed to Illinois Senator Scott Lucas Bill returning the U. s. Employment Service to the states. They must be operated by the Federal Government, Truman maintained, at least for year.
 Although he didn't say a single word which, on paper, would look harsh, the President was really sore, the members agreed. If they had met with him the previous

 He referred to the Senate's prun- ing of the original Unemployment Compensation Bill offered by Sen- ator Harley Kilgore of West Vir- ginia.
 Early in the conference, Repre- sentatives Dingell of Michigan, Eberharter of Pennsylvania and Forand of Rhode Island told the President that they agreed with his program and would like to see the House vote the $25 and 26-week provisions the Senate had knocked out Chairman Doughton, half hearted author of a bill including these provisions but not the full Kilgore Bill, glared fiercely, while Forand reminded the President that he had himself introduced bill calling for everything in the Kill gore Bill.
 Various members spoke up, trying to explain their positions. Chairman Doughton had grave doubts whether the S25 would not make the labor situation worse by stimulating idle ness. However, the President refuted arguments about strikes and states rights even before they were raised
 This need of the American people who worked hard all through the war for a small measure of help in tiding them over this winters unemployment has nothing to do with strikes. To- days strikes are no argument so fal as this bill is concerned"
