carpentry was offered along with
interior decorating the training
was limited to the bear beginnings
and gave the Veterans no oppor-
tunity to become finished trades
man.
The committee also pointed to
the growing number of privately
operated schools for the training
of Negro Veterans in the state.
It was pointed out that some 81
600 Negro Veterans Of Mississippi
represents the sum of approx
mately $125, 100000, which under
the CT Bill means that the great
er part of that sum could be used
to improve the Negro Schools and
Colleges for Negroes in the State
by the establishment of Veterans
training in these institutions.
Put under the present trend it
was pointed out that private in
dividuals are setting themselves
to reap the benefits of the law,
with the veterans getting next to
nothing for the money being paid
by the government and with no
resultant improvement of Negro
educational facilities in the state.
The letter regarding the meet
ing which has been mailed to Ne
gro leaders and veterans in all
sections of the state is as follows.
You are hereby invited and
urged to attend a state wide mass
meeting to be held at Central
Methodist Church, 504 N. Parish
St. Jackson, Miss, on Thursday,
October 31st, 1916, at 2 o'clock
p. m, and 700 are also asked and
authorized to appoint and send at
least four (4) delegates, purpose
of calling the attention of Presi-
dent Harry S. Truman, Gov.
Thomas L. Bailey, and the Vet
erans' Administration to the glar-
ing discrimination which is now
being made in the matter of fur
nishing educational opportuni-
ties and facilities for the Negro
ex-GI's of the State of Mississippi.
The record shows that $4,000
young Negro men of Mississippi
Joined the colors for World War
II, to help fight for the salvation
of this country and to carry DEM
ocracy to all parts of the world.
Every time a white soldier was
called to service, a Negro soldier
was called to service, which
means that the Negro rendered
equal service in World War II,
as he has in all other wars since
he became a citizen, to defend
the American Flag.
Then why not every time a
white soldier is called for bene-
fit, a Negro soldier be also called
for a benefit? That and only that
is democracy.
But now, when it comes to max
ing good it's promises, the Fed
eral Government is failing the
Negro almost wholly in the mat
ter of those benefits, promised all
soldiers when the nations house
was on fire, but when it come
time to dish out the benefits, the
Negro is forgotten. The Govern
ment has made preparation for
only a few hundred Negro CPS
of this State, but it will also be
a great reflection upon you and
us to sit idly by, in the face OF

should exist is a little difficult to explain on a rational basis. Paraphrasing a report made to Congress early this year by a subcommittee of the Committee on Territories, which inveSti- gated the problem of admitting Hawaii to the Union:
 Modern inventions have an initiated distance. Juneau to- day is closer to the American mainland in time than the cit
 ies of Boston and New York
 were to the capital in the early
 days of the nation. Alaska is
 closer to the seat of the gov
 ernment today than all but
 the immediately d j ent
 states were when Washington
 first became the capital of the
 United States. With efficient
 and seven-hour service for
 and rapid communication by
 cable, r a dio, or telephone,
 mail or passenger D a Il s,
 Alaska can no longer be char
 acterized as isolated.
 Alaska does not touch any existing state. Yet there exist within the Union, as parts ot states, several areas of non-con- tiguous territory. In addition to islands off the coasts and in the Great Lakes, these include two portions of the North American mainland separated entirely, as is Alaska, by intervening Cana dian territory. One is the part of Minnesota lying north of Lake of the Woods. The other is the peninsular portion of Washington, containing the vii lage of Point Roberts, which is cut off by the 49th parallel and Boundary Bay from the rest of the state.

SELF-GOVERNMENT STILL DESIRABLE GOAL

At one time Congress consid- cred seriously, and apparently without mental reservations, a proposal to annex all of Alaska as county of the State of Washington. If parts of states may be non-contiguous with the rest of the nation, why may not entire states?
 The question is being asked ever more persistently. Vigorous statehood movements exist in Hawaii and Alaska. To many residents of these territories it seem logical that they should be admitted to the same privi- 1eges of self-government and of participation in national affairs

cans, presumably with exactly the same ideas about self-gov- ernment and home rule, live in the non-contiguous ar s of Alaska and Hawaii. There seems little doubt but that both Alas ka and Hawaii would have been admitted to statehood long since if only they touched at some point an already existing state.

IDEALOGICAL BARRIER SUBJECT TO ATTACK

An theological barrier seems somehow to have been erected against the admission as states of areas outside the continent or not contiguous with already ex- iSting states. This idea has been hallowed by time, but it is now being challenged. Just why it
