daily tasks, in their patriotic endeavors.
But Washington foresaw the possibility of return
of disunity with its destructive effect upon the nation
he loved The warning in his Farewell Address resounds
like claron-call:
Unity is main pillar in the edifice of
your real independence of that very liberty, which
you highly price,
Today, the mighty America that Washington knew
only in his dreams, yet labored for and suffered for,
must be on constant guard against disunty.
And the extent that remember the common
lesson that Washington taught us, depends the
measure of our final victory in this

Obituary
REV. ELI GRAHAM

Written in loving memory of
Rev. Eli Graham:
Brother Eli from this world went
away,
1t was hard to give him up, yes,
1t made us weep,
But he's not gone forever, we will
see him again someday,
He only fell asleep.
All his life he worked for Jesus.
How he loved to see souls saved
from sin,
Yes, it made his heart rejoice.
For he had the love of Christ
within.
How I loved to hear him sing.
Stand BY Me-"
l can almost hear him sing the
lines,
when I'm growing old and fee
BILE, stand by me"
Yes, as, he grew weaker and
nearing death he still sang
the blessed songs of Zion.
Always when he met his friends,
He would smile and shake their
hand,
/ know that it would be his de-
sire
For us to live for Jesus and
meet him in the Glory Land.
Jesus called for him softly,
He slipped out of this world of
suffering, sorrow and sin;
And now he's resting peaceful
He will never know pain again.

not be recognized as representing

This "slight" to it's vice president
by the association is further ag-
gravated by the fact that up to a
late hour last Wednesday, the day
before train departure from here,
the association had not made ar
rangements to meet the costs of her
transportation. Whites own de-
parture for the west coast made it
impossible to get comment from
him on the matter.
Although the accredited delegate
of the NAACP to this important
world conference, Mrs. Bethune was
compelled to draw upon her own
funds to fulfill her obligation to
attend the conference. When word Of
the difficulty circulated here, criti-
cism of Walter White began to de-
velop.

ern exploitation Of colonies to
"make wal. at once unlikely and un-
profitable"
The resolution urges that "it be
the sense Of the united nations that
the ownership and control of COL
onies and dependencies be recog-
nized in international law only on
the following terms:
"That the dominating country
solemnly engage to give the peo-
Piles of such areas Immediately a
voice in their own government;
AS Full Citizenship
"That it solemnly declare it's in=
tention that by a given date those
peoples shall either be integrated
into the policy of the mother coun-
try with full rights of citizenship,
or shall be allowed to become indie
pendent and autonomous countries
as the peoples themselves shall de-
eide;
"That the natural resources of
these countries including mines,
forests, land and it's materials shall
be owned by the colonies and used
primarily for the benefit of the in
habitants of the area.
"That the organization of indus
try, the control of labor and invest
ments Of capital shall be ordered for
the benefit of the people in the
area and not simply for profit of in
vested capital or primarily for the
welfare of people outside the col
ony."
Mandates Commission
The resolution also recommended
the formation of an international
mandates commission to control
territory inundated in the last War
as we'll as territories taken from
the enemy in this one. This body
would have the power to investigate
any colony on earth and recommend
to the united nations that any col
ony improperly administered be
taken over for control by the COM
mission.
The resolution concludes: "Peace
and civilization, humanity and re-
ligion today demand this sacrifice
of independence on the part Of the
worlds great powers for socia
progress and democracy"
The statement Of the Council Of
African Affairs of recommends
tions prepared for consideration il
relation to the establishment of 1
world organization at the confer
ence, in the matter of colonial pol
icy closely followed the demands O.
the NAACP. It differs mainly il
giving greater emphasis to the es
sentiality of solution of the colon
ial problem in solving the create
problem of achieving "cooperatiol
to promote the security and peac'
Of the world"
The statement declared: "Tt i
today generally acknowledged, il
Great Britain and other European
countries as well as in the Unite'
States, that the advancement of CO
lonial peoples is collective respons
