simple reason that majority OF the

JIM CROW RETREATS

And certainly, no Negro will deny
that since Versailles, the men and
the interests supporting Jim crow
in America have been in constant
retreat-that they have been UNI
dercut and circumecribed by such
factors as the FEPC, the supreme
court ruling on the vote, the army's
order outlawing Jim crow, the abo-
lition of the poll tax in Georgia,
and a host of other laws anG ac-
tons by officials and by civic

essential that there should be no
further racial discrimination in any
shape or form.
At the Dumbarton Oaks meet
ing, the Chinese delegation re-
quested that the principle of race
equality be formally included in the
agreement. No action was taken,
but the Chinese are certain to raise
the issue again here in San Fran
cisco.
STAIN WANTS STAND
Premier Joseph Stain declared
"the abolition of racial exclusive
ness to be one of the S | t
Unions peace aims. This intention
has been repeated over and over
again by key Russian spokesman.
A recent issue of the Information
Bulletin issued by the Soviet emu
bassy in Washington declared
when any country gives shelter
to the HitIerites Or their ideas in
the form of discriminatory legisla-
ton, in the form of racist organiza-
tons or racist press, it is no longer
an internal affair of that country"
This from country which shares
with the United States the great
est power on earth. And, of course
their official declarations of policy
is confirmed by the we'll known fact
that the Soviet Union is the one
place on earth where discrimination
and prejudice of all kinds has been
wiped out by rigidly enforced laws
making such practices major fe-
lony.
FRANCE TO GIVE
CITIZENSHIP
According to Rene Pleven, colo
NAL minister, France plans to make
full citizens of all her colonial
peoples, with all the rights of white
Frenchmen in the mainland, and
to fight with all its strength"
any importation of racial preju-
dice,
The Netherlands government has
announced it's plan to rebuild its
colonies as commonwealth with
no discrimination of any kind be-
tween races.
The position of both Britain and
America on issue of equality are so
much in public discussion h t
they need little examination here.
Certainly we are all aware OF the
social, economic, historic factors
involved.

FORMULATING AGENDA


The agenda apart from the
originally expressed purpose of the
meeting, is still to be formulated.
One item which may appear will
concern itself with the same fac
tor which has kept the COP itself
divided along the lines of progress
sivism and "Old Guardism." AS
one supporter of the party point
ed out to this correspondent,
there are many among us who
would have liked to vote for
Roosevelt except that party loyal
ty prevented u.s."
Another potential issue is the
possibility of move to eradicate
the so-called eastern" and "west-
ern" divisions This division, it is
pointed out, may have offered one
section an advantage during the
campaign, but for practical and
lasting ends, it is undesirable.
OPPORTUNE TIME
The line which may be taken
among those who make up the
National Council of Negro Demo-
Gratis, which is headed by Emmett
g. Cunningham Of Detroit, Is that
the time is opportune to voice
fresh demands inside the party for
Negroes differ very little In the
minds and expressions of the Ne
gro leaders, those demands would
seem to mean that political plums
are in mind.
No such split exists among the
Democrats as does In the COP so
that the leaders should be able to
reach agreement without too much
difficulty, is the feeling here
among observers.

BELGIAN PARLIAMENT
PREPARES FOR TEST
IN SOCIALIST FIGHT

BRUSSELS, Feb. 2.-UP)- A
parliamentary test of Premier HUI
bert Pierlots Government is shap-
ing up against a background of
discomfort over Belgian food and
fuel shortages.
Pierlot plans to go before Par
lament and fight a Socialist move

poets support even from Socialist
colleagues in his cabinet, he told

The whole question of govern
mcnt policy is expected to be de-

day.
The government as whole will
answer and defend that policy"
the Premier said. ...
Asked specifically whether he
expected the five Socialist minis
tiers to join in the defense, he said
Certainly" The Socialists offer
ed their designations under party
orders at an extraordinary cabinet
meeting last night, but agreed to-
day to remain in office until Tues

puff sort of fancy dan. The other
man wins the other four rounds nv
overwhelming margins, SCORING
knockdowns in every round.
On the round system of iudsino
the powder-puff guy takes the Yer.
dict by virtue of his edge in the six
rounds.
We're the bout judged on points
with, say, II points allowed to a
round, and the pcwder-puff guy lost
the four rounds by margin of 10
points to two, and won his six
rounds by seven to five margins.
his point total would be so. His on.
ponent would be credited with 70
points, and be the winner. He could
get couple of nice steaks for his
black eyes with those points.
Anyway, as long as boxing is the
game it is, with no definite way of
figuring the score such as runs or
touchdoWns Or baskets, there will
be differences of opinion. All of us
have seen fights that we thought
were judged by men sitting down
in the furnace room somewhere,
the decisions, in our opinions, be-
ing that ridiculous.
But it's every man for himself in
watching a fight, and where you
sit, your possibly unintentional IA
voring of one man or the other,
and the tendency to forget earlier
rounds when one man makes a
stirring finish all tend to influence
the opinion.
So whether the point system is
used or the bout is judged by the
number of times one of the fighters
blinks, the system is not infallible.
About the only way to avoid ar
argument is to arrange for the bout
to end in clean knockout.

Cigar Production Drop
Expected For This Year

NEW YORK, Feb. O. Up -
There won't be quite as many
cigars this years as there were in
1914, the Cigar Institute of America

shouldn't get much worse:
Civilian cigar sales for last year
were 8.5 per cent under 1943' the

leveling off Most hopeful sign, it
said, is apparent sterilization OF
employment at about $4,000 work

Final figures for last year show

Duke Cagers
Ready ToMeet
Deacs Tonight

DURHAM, Feb. 2-John Crowd
err, regular center of Dukes Sugar
Bowl football championship team
and reliable guard on the basket
ball team will perform before the
homefolks when the Blue IIevil!
tackle Wake Forests Demon Dea-
cons in the High Point College gym
nasium tonight, in a Big Five anc
Southern Conference tilt.
Crowder, a lanky six-foot-two, 1o1
FOUNDER. got his start in athletics
at High Point High School. He was
brilliant four-letterman in foot
ball, baseball, basketball and track
in high school. At Duke, he his
confined his sports to football and
basketball, and he had been turn
ing in standout performances ir
both.
Although he isn't likely to start
before the homefolks tonight,
Crowder is sure to see plenty of
action since he has been improv-
ing with each game since reporting
late because of the Sugar Bowl. He
has been out for drills only two
days when Coach Gerry Gerard
rushed him into service in relief
role.
Duke. defending Southern Con-
ference champion, will be seeking
its fifth consecutive loop victory of
the season.
Wake Forest, on the other hand,
will be searching for its first trl-
umph in the conference. The Dea-
cons, who have been showing
steady Improvement after a slow
start, got off to bad start in their
first game with Duke several
weeks ago, and found themselves
trailing by 39-11 at halftime. Duke
scored IA points before the Dea-
cons could break the scoring ice.
In the second half, however,
Wake Forest pulled itself together
and outscored Duke by 24-21 on the
sharpshooting. of big Dave Harris,
pass-snagging end of the Deacon
football team last Fall.
Although Duke won by 60-35,
Wake Forest has high hopes of get
tings off to a better start in the
clash at High Point. The Deacons
are capable of giving Duke some
anxious moments in the return
meeting.
Bill Sapp is leading the Duke
scorers with 154 points. Harris is
the leading point-maker for the De-
mon Deacons.
In preliminary at IT'S o'clock,
High Point College faces Elon Col
lege in North State Conference
tussle. Duke and Wake Forest will
square off in the night cap of the
doubleheader beginning about $50
pm.
A large crowd is expected to
turn out for the only Southern Con-
ference cage game to be played
in the Piedmont section this year.
