African consumption, nor was there
any curb placed upon the sale of
mealies for feeding livestock and
for making Of beer by the municipal
beer halls.
While the government has talked
much of improving methods of agri-
cultural production among the
Africans, it was pointed out Off
Gals have done nothing to remedy
the root cause of the poverty and
starvation which prevailed among
the five and one-half million rural
Africans, most of whom reside in
native reserves.
The law limits the right of the
African to buy or lease land only in
areas which were set aside by the
1913 and 1886 Native land acts for
his own use. These are the native
areas" or reserves" To live out
side of these districts he must be a
servant of European employer or
a tenant in urban locations (segre-
gated residential districts outside
the city limits) owned by local au-
thorities.
Thus it is that about four million
Africans are restricted to a land
area of So thousand square miles,
about 13 percent of the total area
of the Union of South Africa while
about 700 thousand rural Europeans
(out of a total European popula-
ton of abuot million) occupy 415
thousand square miles, 81 percent of
the total. In the Transkei and Cis-
kei areas the land holding of the in
dividual African is limited to about
8 to II acres in size and about 80
percent of the Transkeian peasant
families and the majority in the
Ciskei district have no arabic allot-
ments whatsoever. On the other
hand the average European farm is
about 2 thousand acres in size with
some as large as 10000 acres (the

MILLIONS OF AFRICANS
STARVING Says COUNCIL

NEW YORK, Nov. 20 (ANP).-
The Council on African Affairs in
New York disclosed facts practi-
cally unknown in this country about
the danger of starvation facing four
million Africans in the Ciskei, Tran
skei and Northern Transvael sec
tion of the Union of South Africa.
A spokesman of the council cited
this condition as another indictment
of that governments "white supre-
macy" policy.
Starvation among a large section
of the eight MILAN Africans in the
Union of South Africa is an almost
annual occurrence, but the acute con-
ditions of this year are among the
worst known in recent history, it
was stated. The principal food item
of the African is corn (called
"mealies") because it is the cheap
est to buy. There has been a short
age of mealies crops for the last
three years due in part to weather
conditions but more especially to
limitation of cultivatable land avail
able to the Africans.
The government has been
charged with "dereliction of duty
and culpable negligence" for not
taking necessary steps to avoid the
present famine conditions, though
there was full knowledge of what
was impending. No additional sup
ply of grain was imported for

major part of this vast area being
used not for crop cultivation, but
for livestock herding and pastur-
age).
In a resolution adopted last Au-
gust, the executive committee of the
African National congress declared
that "the government land policy is
responsible for the difficulties
through which Africans in the re-
serves are passing g-landlessness
and overcrowding contribute the
major share of the cause of the suf-
fering 8. AS a remedy against fu-
ture distress like the present, the
government must now Immediately
open land for occupation by Afri-
cans under all forms of tenure"

present on the commendable occa-
sion. The first of these was both an
injunction and warning which had
to do with vocational rehabilitation
training, in which the popular
executive urged vets to take full ad-
vantage of the liberal training op-
portunities provided under Public
Law 16 (78th congress) and fur
ther, once having been provided
with the training, to finish the
course as, in the world of the future,
none but the thoroughly prepared
can expect consideration. Col. John
sons second piece of timely advice
dwelt upon national service life in
surance, and the utterly foolish
manner in which too many Negro
veterans were relinquishing this
financial opportunity. Veterans
everywhere had better heed the
colonel's sage counsel.
One of the most encouraging
features of the veterans rehabilita-
ton is the manner in which many
organizations are launching veter-
ans assistance programs. While it
is true that some of this activity
will be just an effort to attract the
favor of veterans, in the main the
sincerity of these groups can not
questioned. The Veterans admin
stration encourages all such at
tempts. If your organization has an
idea that might require some coun-
sci and guidance, VA will be glad
to help Drop a line to The Infor-,
nation Specialist, cIo Col. Richard
Mcdonnell, the Veterans Admin
stration, Washington 25, D. c."
Wounded veterans do not want

pity. They are not problems. They
are men to whom this country owes
a debt of gratitude beyond calcula-
ton, and this debt can best be paid
by treating these men with manly
consideration rather than the hand
outs of pitiful sympathy. The most
effective way to assist them in over
coming their handicaps, is to let
them know that you do not believe
they are handicapped. Vocational
rehabilitation will provide them
with new skills and employment;
you provide them with the encour-
agement and ambition to utilize
these skills by an unwavering ex-
preston of your faith and gratitude.
Agitation continues for the con-
gressional establishment of U. S.
Department of Veterans Affairs,
whose director would be member
of the Presidents cabinet. This mat
ter will come under the advisement
of the American Legion, and will
undoubtedly be considered by
other veterans organizations.

Writes of Plans to Paint TOiUn Red

Get my suits ready I hope
they're okay".
This is the postscript to the latest
letter received from S/Sgt. Clay
ton Mitchell by his sister, Mrs.
James Carolan, 1858 Ninth street
Sgt. Mitchell is en- route to the
States from Luzon where he was one
of the last eight members of the
original 107th Medical Battalion
which left the United States in
April, 1912, with the 32nd Red
Arrow"
With SiSgt. Joseph Biebel. 1926
Third street, Sgt. Mitchell heard
the news Of japanese surrender just
81 hours before they left Luzon for
redeployment home.
In April, 1910, Mitchell enlisted In
the National guard and became a
member of the famous fighting out
fit which has covered itself with
distinction in two wars. The Red Ar
row division is made up largely of
Michigan and Wisconsin men.
Sgt. Mitchell has made plans for
the future which include attending
school to take 'refresher' courses in
cooking and baking and then OPEN
ing a restaurant. More Immediately
his plans may best be described as
he told them in the letter:

haven't been any fun because

| could have fun But now I'm coming
back to that wonderful land of
America. Just get the key to Wy

box and open up those golden doors,
I'm raring to go. And that old red
paint in the garage, get it out

war from beginning to end, am !
proud? You betcha your life I am,
but all want now is civilian clothes,
a roof over my head and few eats,
then job, car, home and a few
bucks in the bank
Sgt. Mitchell graduated from St.
Patrick's high school and since en-
tering service has had a highly in
teresting career. His picture ap-
peared in Detroit newspapers in
connection with blood plasma and its
work in saving the lives of wounded
and the same picture also appeared
in an advertisement in Life mag
azine.
Sgt. Mitchell was stationed in
Australia after he first went over
seas. While there he married an
Australian girl who plans to come
to this country as soon as her pa
pers are in order.

elemental of emotions-jealousy.
This burning jealousy stemmed
from an argument over who had
given the finest offering to their
God.
The murder weapon was a huge
rock, with which one brother crush

fed to a distant land. where he
founded the city Of Nod. 1t was
from this city the population Of the
earth multiplied and spread.
The murderer was not punished
for his crime. However. his life
was an unhappy one. for people
never permitted him to forget his
evil deed. and his own conscience
troubled him to his death.
