America Is Warned
10 Be SeIecfiye in
Foreign investments
by the Assoeiossd Pres,

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE United
States should invest neither private
nor public capital in countries with
widespread corruption in business
and ofhcial circles" or where "a
government is wasting its substance
on excessive armament" John Garter
Vincent. director of Far Eastern
Affairs of the State Department,
said today.
In addressing the luncheon session
Of the National Foreign Trade Con-
yention, Mr.. Vincent added to his
prescribed noninvestment list:
Where the threat or fact of civil
war exists, where tendencies toward
government nonopolization exclude
American business, or where un-
democratic concepts of government
are controlling"
MIR. Vincent carefully avoided
naming any specific country In this
part of his statement of policy.
Hopes for Korean Trade.
Earlier in the speech. Mr.. Vincent
said the State. Department hoped
that China could escape .'the dis
aster Of continued civil discord' and
that wise counsels" would prevail
in pending meeting in Nanking OF
the Chinese National Assembly.
Private business concerns may
soon be able to resume limited trade
relations with Korea, Mr.. Vincent
said, in spite of "the inability OF the
Russians and ourselves to reach
agreement on a unified administra-
ton for the country"
The State Department Is now
considering measures to make this
possible. he declared.

Britain, ''by its example and

motion Of all nations toward greater
freedom and prosperity" the King
said, adding:
II trust that at an early date

Brilliant Spectacle.
The King, wearing the uniform of
an admiral of the feet, spoke for
13 minutes from the throne in the
House of Lords to joint session of
both houses attended by other
members of royalty and a large sec
ton of the diplomatic corps.
Much of the medieval ornamen-
tation OF full state opening was
absent, but it still was a brilliant
spectacle, despite the grim watch
fulness of the police, acting on
anonymous threats that Jewish un-
derground organizat ons in Pales-
tine intended to carry their violent
efforts to Britain itself.
Government spokesmen discount
ed British press suggestions that q
campaign of violene sby Jewish un-I
derground organizations was in
prospect in England, but British
police officials, nevertheless, were
reported to have taken the Unusual
step of issuing firearms to their
plainclothes men, who normally go
unarmed.
Although much of the prewarI
Splendor of an opening of Parlia-
ment was restored today, there still
were many reminders of the long
struggle against the Axis, including
the carriage in which the King rode
from Buckingham Palace to West
minister.
Instead of the 4-ton royal state
landau, the King and Queen Eliza
beth used the so-called Irish state
coach, dating from 1852, which

four instead OF eight of the famous
Windsor gray horses, the supply of

INCLUDE ETHIOPIA IN
ITALIAN PEACE CONFERENCE

WASHINGTON, Jan 2 (ANP)
Something Of a diplomatic vic
tory has been scored by the gov
ernment of Ethiopia with the dis
closure by the foreign ministers of
the Big Three, meeting in Moscow
that the East African empire once
over-run by Mussolini's boards
would definitely participate in the
21 nation peace conference at
which the fate of Italy will be de-
termined.
The conference will be held by
next May 1, according to the an
nouncement, and more than likely
will be held in London.
First draft of the Italian treaty
will be made by the Big Three, but
the other nations who will join in
the conference will be permitted
to propose revisions.
The announcement, which spe-
ciically named Ethiopia as one of
those which shall participate in the
conference, represents the first
time that any of the major powers
have acknowledged that the gov
ernment of Halle Selassi had a
claim against it's former aggressor.
Insistently since 1941 Ethiopia
has been pressing, in Washington,
London and Moscow, for an oppor-
tunity to be heard. Hope was raised
when in the Potsdam communique
the way was left open for the Coun-
Gil of Foreign Ministers to invite
those countries with claims against
Italy to offer statements.
Selassi took occasion to let it be

SpAULDING POINTS TO
Ed FOR CHARACTER
D LEADERSHIP

DURHAM, N. c., Jan. 2
NP)-Commenting upon out
leal for the future as 1915 drew to
lose, C. C. Spaulding, business
eAecutive and sage, arrived at the
conclusion in an interview here
that sane leadership and strength
of character are attributes which
should be cultivated and practiced.
Looking forward to the next
generation" said Mr.. Spaulding,
who for a number of years was
president of the National Negro
Business league and who is mem
Der of the New York State Cham
Der of Commerce as well as presi-
dent of the North Carolina Mutual
Life Insurance company, what
can we hope for in the way of
character and progress unless we
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1946-01-02

of the present generation set the
proper example for the guidance
of our young people?
"We need self-control and self
restraint, the organization of con-
structive literary and social clubs,
organizations that will tend to ele-
vate rather than demoralize. Dur
ing this age in which we are living,
far too many of us have the wrong
idea of recreating. Our activities
in this regard could be more aptly
termed "wreckreating.' By that I
mean, burning the candle at both
ends, sitting up late at night, i'm
bibing too freely, and attempting
to do a days work afterward. The
result is seen on every hand: death
at an early age or broken and
wasted lives.
''If we, as a race, develop strong
men and women, men and women
who are prepared culturally, phys
ically, and morally to assume posi-
tions of leadership, there must be
a revamping of our social program.
Complaining about prescription,
ostracism and discrimination will
serve no useful end unless we de-
velop the necessary qualifications
to demand consideration. My ex-
perience has been that progress and
material success come as a result
of progressive thinking and hon
est purpose.
''It is commendable that busi-
nesses conducted by Negroes have
made more progress and suffered
fewer failures during 1915 than in
any previous year. Let me urge,
therefore, that we continue to
build, safely and securely on the
foundation that has been erected.
Avoid the getting something for
nothing gambling impulse and
cling to and foster outstanding
traits of character. Then and not
until then will distrust and discrim-
ination vanish and the way be
opened for just recognition and
full participation in the -four free
doms,' the heritage of every loyal
American citizen"
