Imperialism's New Mercenaries
(St. Louis Star Times


 In Java the English using Japanese to put down the natives fighting for liberation from Dutch rule It makes sorry reading the heels of the war for the four freedoms to learn that enemy troops have become mercenares of Allied imperialism
 It was said of ancient Athens that for its great enterprises the possession of empire was essential Soon we may be hearing the argument in London and the Hague And there may be measure of truth in it--as much as there in the case Of Athens Yet it might be well for modern statesmen to give more attention to the ancient precedent. Since Greek imperialism failed in the end, they might ma it unwise to base too much hope on its 2oth-centuy counterpart.
 This was more less realized during the most trying days of the war Then the talk of freedom was more than propaganda to help men stand up under the btz In the hour of mortal trial, there was reaza- tion that a people cannot really be broken by force. There was vision too of world in which that would not be tried-a world of free to men, markets and materials.
 But the dream seems to have faded with the de- partlre of the bombers There to be downright eagerness to fall back into the old patternstat of colonial imperialism included.
 Of course there are fancy excuses. One of the most popular holds that colonialism is really bene- volent that the backward races not fit to govern themselves Well they seem fit to fight for themselves! Insofar as there is any truth in this old argument we Americans have answered it in the case ot the Philippines There we helped to prepare the people to take care of themselves.
 The same thing could be done in every Gimilar case were it not for only half admitted fear of Europeans that keeping up their living standard oe bends on keeping down the standards of Africans and Asiatics But surely the Dutch could do at least as much business with free Java as with an enslayed Java! Freedom would sacrifice of old-fashionad notions of power-many of which the war proved to be quite hollow-but not of genuine economic pros perity.

MERRY-GO-ROUND

Postmaster General Bob Hanne- gan has to have lot of his teeth yanked, but he's stalling the den- tist. President Truman has asked astute Roosevelt adviser Isa- dore Lubin to return to the White House staff Bob Nathan, who resigned in protest against John Snyders fumbling, has left for a months rest in Florida prior to opening a Washington economic office of his own. Governor Ellis Arnall of Georgia is still get ting feelers from President Tru- man on the possibility of joining the Administration Judge Sam Rosenman and George Allen are the two greatest practical jokers in the White House. Both call each other up at all hours of the night impersonating friends and enemies. President Truman longs for the good old days when he could walk through the streets without a bodyguard. The only exer- else Truman gets is regular plunge in the White House swim ming pool built for FDR by his time friend, New York News Publisher Joe Patterson, later FDR's arch enemy. . '. The White House is considering Anna Rosen- berg for a big job in helping to keep labor peace. Mrs Rosenberg was one of Roosevelts most suc- cessful operatives.

Mooney of Detroit and Stritch Of Chicago will fly in another plane from Chicago. It may be necessary to take third plane for the press. Congressman Casey of Massa- ohusetts is arranging. the pilgrim age. Pope Plus is anxious to get the advice of the U. s. cardin- als, especially Cardinal Spellman, for another statement on world peace. COP Senator Brewster of Maine has been trying for two months to get hold of approximate ly l,500 messages exchanged be- tween President Roosevelt and Win ston Churchill during the year be- fore Pearl Harbor. These were the messages for which U. s. Embassy Code Clerk Tyler was jailed when he revealed their contents to out siders. The British alleged the outsiders" included White Rus sian in the pay of the Nazis, who immediately communicated tn e messages to the German Legation in Dublin. The State Department so far has been sitting tight on the cables. The Officers Club at the National Airport has a nice lew set of slot machines. Here's how they got them: an Army plane flew from Washington to Biloxi, Miss, picked up five slot machines, and flew them back to Washington. For some time they sat in a plane on the field, where officers and men had good time plaYinp the machines.

 The Governor quotes Highway Engineer Leonard Smith as estimating the bill would bring in Sl2O,0oO year. but it is generally known that Smith is not in favor of the bill as now stands because he believes the taxes are too stiff.
 If there were no controversial issues involved in the measure it could probably be passed during the short special session. but believe that is unlikely Opponents of the bill will find it easy to defeat the measure by it's length.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 20

Good and bad planetary influen- cesces conflict in the horoscope for today. The clergy shoud benefit. Many generous gifts for social pro iects are foretold.

 Good news should be on the way from many foreign lands. Special deference will be shown to older members of the family and even an inclination to listen to advice. Warn ing against careless spending will come from all who have foresight.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Effect of the loss of manpower in manufacturing through wide spread strikes will be reflected in many lines before the end of the winter, it is forecast. There will be less prosperity for many who were war workers.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Travel will be extensive. Those who seek resorts will be criticized by those who must stay at home. Mex ico will benefit by increase in the number of tourists.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS | China is to present new prob lens, but there are certain proms- ing signs which seem to indicate inn provement in relations between the two contending factions. Russia. IS likely to take a wise attitude toward the Chinese Communists.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of experimental ventures or sudden changes in en- vironment. Progress toward desired goals is probable.
 !! Children born on this day may be brilliant but difficult. They should be taught self-assurance and cour- ageous persistence in working out their careers.

NEGRO LAWYER Defends
WASHINGTON JAIL
Superintendent

WASHINGTON, Apr. 2 (ANP)
There is no other city in the
world like Washington. 1t is strictly
jim-crow, yet bright spots occasion
ally appear on the horizon. One of
these bright spots is the defense of
Howard w. Gill, superintendent of
the district Jail, under fire for in
competence and other charges, by
a Negro lawyer, John D. Wilson.
Mr.. Gill, white, holds a most re-
sponsible community post. His Ne
gro lawyer has a reputation second
to none in the district courts. The
manner in which he is conducting
the Gill case has won wide acclaim.
Although the cards seem stacked
against Mr.. Gill, who introduced
humanitarianism in a semi-bar-
barrie setup, the fight is all the more
remarkable because of Wilson's in
genunity in handling the witnesses
against Gill. His cross examina-
tions are showing that the matter is
purely personal and not an indict-
ment of Gill's administration or his
ability.
Stranger still, although Gill had
done his best to make Negro GRIMM
ais mend their ways and become
community assets rather than COM
munity liabilities, a Negro member
of the welfare board voted for his
suspension and trial. One Negro
condemned him, while another Ne
gro tried to save him!
Washington is funny place.

Negro and white job applicants.
The union charged that this prac-
tice was resulting in habitual dis
elimination by the agency and
therefore that use of it for federal
hiring was contrary to the section
of the Presidents order specifically
banning discrimination in federal
hiring.
Commissioner Flemming said he
had written USES requesting that
discrimination be discontinued and
that another investigation would be
conducted shortly to find out
whether the practice had been aban-
doned. The union renewed it's de-
mand that agencies be banned from
recruiting through USES as long
as the segregation setup remains.
The union also pointed out that
the current situation is a logical
outcome of the executive order pro-
vision allowing each agency to do
its own hiring, and asked that re-
cruitment of workers be returned
to civil service commission control.
This move was emphasized as
necessary to preservation of the
merit system and established civil
service policies while competitive
registers for permanent federal ap-
pointment are being set up. The
present system fosters discrimina-
ton favoritism, and political pre-
ferment, the union declares.

but he believes he is even older
than that.
"Uncle" Simon, as the elderly
man is called by his many friends,
white and Negro, says he can re-
member plowing with oxen before
the Civil war. He also recalls tears
of the mother he never saw after
ward, when he was sold into slav-
cry for the first time.
Unusually active for his age,
"Uncle" Simon is a janitor at the
Fosterville Baptist Church and
reads his newspaper without the
aid of glasses. Although he acts as
a church janitor, he has never af-
filiated with any church, he says.
However, he declares reverently:
81 have always tried to serve the
Lord"
A native of Little Rock, Ark,
Mr.. Landrum was brought to len
nessee as slave when he was still
a child. His last owner was the late
Rev. John Landrum, Baptist min
lister of Rover, who gave him his
name. The aged man reckons time
from "the cyclone" which almost
blew Fosterville away IS years ago,
and he credits the Red Cross with
all gifts he receives no matter what
the source.
AS a younger man, "Uncle" ST.
mon worked as section hand on
the N. C.. and St. L. railway, job
he held for 33 years. He now draws
small monthly pension from the
railroad.
