What Will Be End Result
OF Such Policy?
II the profit-makers are shaping
American foreign policy, as charged
by two men. whose records prove them
to be articulate advocates of the com
petitive. fre~e-enterprise system, and
this policy is attached to the tail Of
British lmr~erialistic policy abroad.

No less an expert than Columnist
Walter 1ippman. who cannot be called
radical in any honest company. said
that ~'collcctivism in industry f.e.

eminent"
Lippman points out that if carried
to extremes, this monopolistic policy
will bring about the downfall Of the
economy upon which American bust
ness has been nurtured-the right to
take a chance and make a profit.
Business Inviting Disaster
Through MonopoIizing
Arnold charges that when business
loses its competitive character, when
it tries to subject the market place TO
controls which fix prices arbitrarily.
withhold patents. and limit supply,
when it uses unethical means to de-
stroy others. when it enters politics
to secure advantages for its own self
ish and oft-times anti-social ends. it is
inviting disaster not only for itself but
our whole economy and Il whole
social and political structure.
What Arnold meant was cartels-
the international monopolies that saw
(and seel American Big Business join
with British Big Business to throttle
competition and fix prices at fancy
profits.
CarteIs Fear Russia
One of the factors the cartels fear
most today is the Soviet Union and
the soviet system-and Big Business
does its best to form a foreign policy
to hurt. damage or destroy the Soviet
Union and the soviet system. Which
may help explain the Byrnes foreign
policy that Henry Wallace is attack
ing.
I.ippman points out, also that there
is a question about how well Byrnes
is doing his job in Paris as the chief
L. s, exponent of American policy
abroad.
Are we sure Lippman asks, that
Mr.. Byrnes is well advised, since he
must make American high policy. to
sweat it out through eXhausting days
with men who do not have anything
like his burden of ultimate RESPONSE
bility?"
And. it may be asked further, does
Truman fully realize just how far By
rnes has been going on his own hook
in Paris?

Writer Declares Grads Inferior

New York, July 25-Arthur F. Davis, in a thought-provoking ar ticle, discusses Negro scholarship in the August issue of The Crisis, an NAACP monthly publication. MT. Davis article will certainly stimulate fevered discussion when he states, 'NOur colleges are turn ing out graduates in practically all ofthe he sacademic fields...............We are getting the quantity; a college degree is almost as common among us as a grammar school certificate was forty years ago. But what about the quality of these students we are sending into the world? Are they thoroughly educated, are they scholars?"
 MT. Davis continues, "If this question were asked of the profes- sors in Negro schools, ninety-nine ter cent, we are certain, would an- swer no. Our schools, they feel, are grinding out sub-stand'ard gra- Guates. National tests would cor roborate this opinion.
 MT. Davis paints a dark picture not without optimism, however. During the course of his discus sion he reveals many interesting educational sidelights, among them the fact that ffHarvard Uni versity alone has an educational income larger than the 100 Negro colleges listed in the U. s. De partment of Educational Biennial Survey" Davis also points out' "It is interesting to note that Rus- sia, our greatest rival for world power, spends $13,ooo,ooo or twenty per cent of it's national ill., come on education; with all of our wealth, we spend $s,ooo'oOo'ooo or two per cent"

$l,OOO Reward For Carolina Cougers

New York, July 25-The Nation al Association for the Advance ment of Co1ored People posted a 5000 reward to any person or persons supplying information which would lead to the apprehen- sion and conviction of the sadistic
 Aiken, South Carolina cops who used Nazi storm trooper tactics on Negro vet, Isaac Woodland, who lost the sight of both eyes as a result of the outrage.
 The posting of the reward was
 announced at an NAACP spon- sored meeting of representatives from veterans organizat We'd nesday, July 24 in New York's Wendell Willkie Memorial Build ing.
 Walter White, NAACP Execu- tive Secretary, in announcing the reward called Woodlands case a more fragrant instance of fascist
 brutality than any that had oc- cured at Dachau.
 ''Ihat IS no exaggeratlon," said White, "Those unfortunate victims
 in Germany were at least accused,
 however unjustly, of being ene-
 mics of the state. Woodland was..
 wearing the uniform of the Army
 of the United States. He had in
 his pocket an honorable discharge and a letter from the President of the United States thanking him for his contribution toward win ming the war.
 ''The cynical, arrogant state ment of the chief of police of Aiker, s. C., that there is no rec ord of Woodlands case is to be eNpected....I cannot believe that the conscience of the USA is so atrophied as to permit this out rage to go unpunished.
 "Injustices like these are part of the pattern that produces and tolerated Bilbo, Rankin and their kind. Today it is Isaac Woodland, tomorrow it is a Jew, then Cath ollie, a union member, then fascism, stark and unashamed."
 At the meeting representatives of leading veterans organizations pledged their full support of the NAACP fight to secure a full pen sion for Woodland. The United Ne gro and Allied Veterans announced their full support of the NAACP and immediately began a nation wide campaign "to arouse the American people to action" This organization already had sound truck in the New York area urg- ing citizens to write or wire the President, Secretary of War, and the Veterans Administration de- manding full pension for Wood ard and criminal action against the Carolina police.
