TACOMA NOTES
BY ARTHUR l. HAYES

Comments Politically Tacoma
appears in the news this week
and when candidates begin filing
for state and national offices.
voters are going to begin thinking
and studying men and measures
with more care than in the past.
The people are beginning to see
that only Constitutional govern
ment is going to bring US out Of
the mess We are now in. Hand
picked and self-appointed. hat-in-
hand and special interests candi-
dates should be a thing Of the
past.
Hon. Harry P Cain, mayor Of
Tacoma, is spoken of in many
circles as being the logical west
ern Washington man for the
senatorial race and one thing can
be said, he is a real constitutional
man from every angle also fitted
from every point to carry any
fight he undertakes to the finish
that everyone will concede.
Among our group there appears
no person within their arena they
will consolidate upon for any
thing other than a place of unim-
portance and will wait until the
last moment, then stare when the
program is handed to them-then
balk. We must bestire ourselves
and keep posted through intele-
gent organized effort or things
will always be as they are and
have been. Selfishness and
special privileges are at an end
and we must begin pulling for
the things that will better the
conditions in government for

Through city wide survey,
members Of the Urban League of
Portland are attempting to assist
this community in the integration
Of Negro Americans into the total
life Of the community. through
their efforts in employment. hous-
ing, educational opportunities,
etc.
The league believes that all
Americans should have a right to
work on jobs for which they are
qualified.
The league believes that it is
un-American to deny work oppor-
tunity to persons because OF race
or creed.
The league knows that a decent
job is basic to all good life.
Limiting work opportunity for
any group amounts to a limitation
of citizenship
The league is aware that work
opportunity for Negro residents
Of Portland is extremely limited.
Many employers particularly in
the retail trades and certain pub
lie service fields) have expressed
unwillingness to employ Negro
workers because they feel that
the public would be displeaseC
The league does not agree
with these employers. The league
believes in the public, and in
the public's sense of fair play.
The league believes that nearly
all Portlanders want to see the
American principle of freedom Of
opportunity for all carried out
ia this area.
The league does not seek prefer
ential treatment for Negroes. It
seeks only equal job opportuni-
ties for an capable persons, re-
sardless Of race.
The league is not proposing any

these fields are open to all work.

then there must be established
justice, giving to every man. no

color, an equal opportunity to uti-

as he may have. As a great
thinker said recently: When We
pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
We do not merely desire that
there should be no fighting in her
streets. We are praying for the
presence of that quality of jus

which. above all others, disting-
uishes society that accepts
the moral law, from a society
which repudiates it
II the war has in truth been
won by the forces of democracy.

men. Only this spirit can bring
in the new day for which the
hearts of men have long yearned

Tojo Defense Move
Is Halted by Court
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, July 24.-The Interna-
tional Tribunal today refused to per-
NIT the defense for Hideki Tojo
and 26 other accused war criminals
to present evidence intended to show
that the notorious Tanaka Memorial
a pamphlet outlining plan for
world conquest, was written by Chi
nese Communists.
The President, Sir William Webb
halted Capt. Samuel Kleiman when
the defense attorney attempted to
prove that Russia used its consulate
in Harbin to spread Communist
propaganda in 1929.
Capt. Kleiman explained that he
wanted to establish that the Tanaks
Memorial was not written by Baron
Tanaka, as the prosecution charges
but rather by Chinese Communists
Sir William refused to permit Capt
Kleiman to continue the cross
examination on that basis of China S
vice minister of national defense,
Gen. Chin Teh-chung.
Throughout the afternoon, the
defense peppered Gen. Chin with
questions aimed at showing that the
Tanaka pamphlet, calling for four
stages of world conquest. actually
was a fraud perpetrated to inspire
hatred of the Japanese. Gen. Chin
admitted he never had seen the
original of the memorial and that
the pamphlet, widely circulated in
China, had not been traced to
Japanese origin.
