Palestine Emergency
Council Attacks
England'S Motives

At a luncheon meeting of the
Jewish Council Friday, Aug. 2, at
the Hotel Lowry the statement by
the St. Paul Emergency Council for
Palestine was read.
An excerpt from the statement
"The revived partition plan,
also termed 'Federalist Constitu-
ton plan recommended to the
American and British governments
by the Anglo-American cabinet
committee is a treacherOus act
which dooms helpless Jewish sur
vivors in Europe to further death
and humiliation and drives Pales-
tines Jews to further desperation.
The cabinet committees proposal
that admission of 100000 most
sorely suffering and homeless
European Jews to Palestine be
made conditional on the adoption
of the LIBERALIZATION proposal is
shocking and immoral. That the
lives of oppressed men, women and
children who have already passed
the limit of endurance should be
used as pawns in Britain's i'm
political maneuvering. Does not
United States should now even con-
slider becoming a party to such low
political manuvering. Does moi
augur we'll for a world of peace
and justice which all hoped would
emerge from the war of the fOuI
freedoms and the Atlantic Charter
We respectfully suggest that what
is needed by government policy
makers on the saving Of these refu
gees and on the Palestine question
is simple morality. This is {
scheme to place Jews in a ghetto If
their homeland, but they will MOI
submit; for the Jews of Palestine
| it is liberty or death"

700 Women
Stage March
On White House
By NATALIE T. SCURLOCK

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Women!
Young women, old women, mothers,
daughters and sisters. They
marched TOO strong to the White
House last Tuesday morning to
protest the lynching Of four per-
sons-two men and two women
near Monroe, Ga, July %.
Who were these women? They
were the delegates to the Golden
Jubilee convention of the National
Association of Colored Women held
here last week. Contrary to what
a parade of this kind might be
expected to be, it was orderly and
dignifed, there were no catcalls
or snide remarks from people on
the sidewalks. The facial express
sion of those watching the parade
indicated they were in sympathy
with the protest march.
The organization, one of the old
est and largest associations of Ne
gro women, is regarded as one of
the most conservative.
At the third morning session of
the convention, presided over by
Mrs. Christine Smith, the nation
al president, of Philadelphia, and
held at the Metropolitan A.M.E.
church, a resolution was adopted
and a committee appointed to
seek a conference with President
Truman to urge federal action
against the Georgia lynchers.
The committee also was instruct
ed to ask President Truman to
speak out in favor of federal anti
lynching legislation.
Other resolutions passed asked
Congressional enactment of anti
poll tax legislation and expulsion
Of Senator Theodore G. (The Man
Bilbo, Democrat, of Mississippi
from the Senate.
At IL o'clock the delegates be-
gan to line up at Sixteenth and
NJ Streets N. W., for the march
to the White House. Leading the
parade were Mrs. Lethia o.
Fleming of Cleveland, Ohio, car
rying an American flag, and Mrs.
Elbertha Turner Of Akron, Ohio,
carrying the Christian flag.
Immediately behind the leaders
were Is delegates from the State
of Georgia. Delegates from AZ other
states and the District of COlum-
bia followed in alphabetical order.
The marchers came down Six
teenth street to H street, ther
across to Madison place and up tt
Pennsylvania avenue.
The parade extended five blocks
and reached Lafayette Square,
Just across from the White House,
shortly before noon. The march
ers carrying placards left the
main body and proceeded over to
the sidewalk just in front of the
White House where they picketed
for some time.
The past presidents of the as
ISOLATION, who rode in front of thu
parade, included Mrs. Mary Churcl
| Terrell, of Washington, D. c.; Mrs
Elizabeth c. Brooks Of New Bed
ford, Mass; DR.. Mary Waring o
Chicago; Mrs. Halle Q. Brown o
Xenia, Ohio, and Mrs. Sallie Stew
art of indianapolis. Mrs. Christine
Smith rode with the past presi
dents. Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune
who is a former president, did no
attend the morning session or par
ticipate in the parade.
Mrs. Smith was cheered in sup
port of her castigatiOn of those VIII
had expressed reluctance to joi
the march.

"A policeman came on the

the ground, and seeing that the
man was an Indian, told the other
man TO 20 on. The mans buddy

trying to tell the officer what had
happened. She told him that when
she came along, the man was beat
ing the Indians head on the pave
ment. Another white man told the
officer that the Indian had done
nothing to the man.
Evidently the little woman
had forced the aggressOr to let
the Indian up before l came on

poor Indian, he had managed to
get to his feet by pulling him

duty, and conduct unbecoming Il
an officer.
