IMPERIALISM

By William Harrison
 How imPerialism .Handies Edu. cation
 To judge from the tenor of
 all the passages dealing with edu-
 cation in the memoranda submit
 ted by representatives and orga-
 nizations of the Negro people to
 the Royal Commission of 1888.
 the feeling was widespread that
 the Government, Imperial and To- cal, had sadly neglected educa-
 ton among the Negroes in the West Indies, British Guiana. and
 British Honduras. Their ind;ct-
 ment of the Governments defi-
 c1encies was just, and no dissent
 from that Judgment was possible
 u one considered carefully the
 abundant proof provided by -the
 state of education in the centen-
 ary of emancipation. My figures
 are, in every instance, taken from the iStatesmar's Year Book for 1888, and they are best avaiI- abie for the typical pre-war con- dition of education in the colo mes. For certain percenfaees | have drawn eopiously on Mr. Ar thur Mayhew's brilliant book. EDUCATION IN THE COLO NAL EMPIRE (1sss).
 COLONIAL TERRITORIES
 It is perhaps best to begin with continental territories. Bri- tish Guiana, which, had a total population of 332,S9S in 19S6. had TIT schools in addition to 59 situated in remote and sparselv settled districts; these received a Government grant of 72.s7O pounds in 1886, and accommoda- ted 51,077 pupils, the average daily attendance of which was 37,336. There were 1,139 teach CTS. Secondary education was provided for both boys and girls.
 With much smaller pepula- ton of 56,071 in 1e26, British Honduras had TT primary schools. which S.529 children were en- rolled. The average attendance was 6,506. The Government grant amounted to 13,492 pounds. Four secondary schools existed. and they had a total enrollment of 353 pupils. It is important to recall that 1886 was the first year during which this kind of school received aid from the Govern ment. All schools, primary as we'll as secondary, were under the management of various reIi- gious sects. The total school en- rollment, inclusive of private schools, was 9,269, and the ave- rage attendance was 7,162. ISLAND TERRITORIES
 The Bahamas, with their popu- lation of 66,219 in 1886, have long made primary education for children between he ages of six and fourteen. The number of pupils in the Govern nent schools in 1885 was 7,7O7. n schools assisted by the Govern nent, the number, in the same year, was 3,46S. The Govern nent grant for 1935-36 was LS,O90 pounds. In the same year he enrolment in Church of Eng and schools was 611, while the private schools had 402 and the Roman Catholics, who are num- a strong sect in this CO., ony, had 1,543. Three private econdary schools connected with e1igious bodies existed, and these lad $40 pupils, as compared with he 42 enrolled in a Government econdary school, '''

CHAMPS CROWNED
 AT TEEN-AGE CLUB

Ever since the Teen-Age Club opened, several months ago, there $ hardly been a minute that both pool tables haven't been busy, with eight or ten fellows always playing and twice as many waiting their turns. Ping Pong has been almost as popular
 With all this playing it was in- eVitable that some fine competitors would quickly develop. The recent tournaments revealed just how good they really have become.
 A brother and sister are the teen-age champions of ping pong. Augie Avoan took the boys title when he won a hard-fought match from another excellent player, Johnny Floberg And it is Augies siste-, Mary, who is girls cham pion having just defeated Carol Jean Macdonald in the three eX- citing and hotly-contested games of their final match.
 Even closer was the competition in the boys doubles pool tourna- ment The champions are Dudley Smithberg and Bill Schmitz-and worthy title-holders they undoubt- edly are, too, for they took the crown. from another very capable pair, the Sperling brothers team of Dave and Bill, who played top notch pool throughout the tourna- ment The score of the final match was 50 to 35.
 Proof of the tight competition is found in the semi-final match scores. So hard-iought were these games that the champions beat Bill Logan and Jerry Gucker only 90 to 48 and the same narrow margin separated the Sperlings in their victory over the team of Gus Adams and Jimmy Gleason.

GEN. CHOU EN-LAI
 ACCUSES U. S. AS
 UNFAIR MEDIATOR
Quits Chinese Peace Talks But Not With FinaIity-
 Has Reservation
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

Gen. Chou En-lai, the second ranking Chinese Communist, fired several new warnings in Shanghai today-but each was well-tempered with reservations.
 First Chou said in an exclusive interview made available to the Associated Press that he has quit the peace negotiations in Ranking But he did not close the door en- tirely. He said he would go back if Generalissimo Chiang Kai-chek agrees to re-convene the long i'm potent military committee headed by General George C. Marshall.
 Then the Chinese Communist as serted that the Chinese and United States governments are following a Far Eastern policy based on the assumption that there will be a war between the United States and Russia-with China as an important base. Nevertheless, Chou acknow lodges that he does not believe such a war is in prospect because, he said, neither the Soviet nor Ameri- can publics want war.
 The Chinese Communist leader was both cynical and defiant about what is happening in China. He said the Ranking negotiations are senseless, and that they were de- signed to camoutlage the true civil war situation. And he emphasized that the Chinese Communists would continue to fight even though they lost heavily in men and Territory.
 The latest word from China is that the Communists continue to lose considerable territory along the strategic Peiping Suiyuan railroad.
 But General Chou'S greatest re- sentiment was directed toward the United States. He accused America of having forsaken it's position as mediator and siding fully with the Kuomintang. He said, however, that the Communists have not con- templated taking their complaint to the United Nations

WASHINGTON, March %, -
The senate war investigating
committee, in am announcement
today, said that the United States

The committee asserted that
Great Britain, because of its re-
strictions in handling lend-lease

of them.
Great Britain would not permit
American shippers to sell in the

of buyers they virtually obtained
American goods at their own
prices.
Il Senator James, Meade of New
