Press Club, Mr.. Kirod cited numer-
GUS instances where he had been
Disseminated against by colored
Americans because he was n Japa-
nese. He said he was discouraged
at the lack Of attention Negroes
give to the problems Of other min
critics.
An air corps veteran Of forty
bombing missions in the Pacific,
Mr.. KirOd said that since his dis
charge he has conducted a personal
campaign against discrimination
with his own funds.
Struck by Negro
He bemoaned the fact that after
making twenty-four speeches on
the subject in an eight-day tour
Of New Hampshire, he had re-
turned to New York City only to
be struck in the face by q Negro
who resented his Japanese origin.
Mr.. Kiroh said he had not been
discouraged by the incident, nor
does he bear any malice toward
colored people, but he urged re-
porters present TO help present the
problems Of other minority groups
TO their colored readers.
Mr.. Kiroki Is currently engaged
in lining up forces to seek passage
Of q reparations bill which would
repay Japanese Nisei for losses in

the west coast during the war.
Bill Il Killed
The bill passed the Senate last
year but was killed in the House
by a motion of Representative Clare
EnRle, Democrat, Of California, Mr..
Kiroki said.
Mr.. Kiroki's statements were
echoed by Mbonu O'Jike, Nigerian
writer who also addressed the club.
Mr.. OJike called the white
House "the seat of democracy" but
said that Is as far as United States
democracy extends.
Refused Service
He then told how, as q student
from Nigeria, he had been invited
by the late President Franklin d.
Roosevelt to a tea at the White
House and how, still being hungry
when he left the tea because your
teas mean just that" he had gone
TO a nearby Peoples Drug store 70
finish his "tea" only to be told
that he could not eat there because
he was colored.
Mr.. O'Jike said the American
eolored man is q unique instru-
ment to the people Of the world
in that he claims citizenship in q
white mans world.
Mr.. O'Jike and Mr.. Kiroh were
introduced by Attorney Charles H
Houston, who also called for q

Paul worki
. Who keeps the Negro from
workingf
. The Negroes civil rights.
Father Gilligan called the au-
dience's attention to the deplorable
working condition Of the Negro in
St. Paul during the depression
years leading up 10 World War
u. He said that 50 per cent Of the
Negro people were on relief or re-
ceiving some aid as compared to
26 per cent Of whites.
War Brought JObs
He said there is an old adago
that every cloud has q silver lining.
The coming Of World War ii
brought with Il the silver lining Of
full employment for the Negro for
the first time since World War I.
Gilligan told the conference that
employment has been provided to
the Negro largely by three different
types Of industries, either entirely
new war industries such as the
Federal Cartridge Corp, operated
by the Twin Cities Ordnance plant,
and older industries which built
extensions for specific war work,
Tor example the Northwest Air
lines, Inc.
He also named q few larger
corporations Of the three types
that employed 10 or more Ne
grOes, but Offering positions
above that Of janitorial work and
unskiIled labor 10 the properly
qualified.
The Twin Cities Ordnance plant,
which employed over 1000 Negroes
at maximum production period;
Northwest Airlines, Inc, did not
smploy Negroes before the war,
but did employ 26 during the war
1t a variety Of jobs with up-grad-
ingi Munslngwear, Inc, Of Minne-
1eapolis, international Harvester
Co., Griggs Cooper q Co, Raymond
Laboratories, Inc, Brown and Big

Seeger Refrigerator Co, Mime
apolis Honeywell Heat Regulator
CO., and others, where Negroes had
only limited job opportunities.
Public Utilities
The corporations dispensing tai
ephone service, heat, lightS and
gas, had on their payrolls well over
1000 employees even during the
depression. In one corporation
there are about 20 Negroes em-
ployed as elevator operators, jani-
tors and matrons. In the second.

In an interview at Flushing last
Monday, Mr.. Deshmukh said that
the difference Is that the Indians
were invited to South Africa
whereas the American Negroes
were not invited to the United
States.
In celebrating on this difference,
the Indian delegate had In mind
the hesitant stand Of the United
States delegation when the griev-
ance Of Indian nationals in South
Africa came before the Steering
Committee Of the General As
sembly.
Mr.. Deshmukh recalled the
"IdentuFe" labor term agreement,
whereby the Indian nationals
were invited to South Africa by
that government at the end Of
the nineteenth century to help
in the development Of African
land because Of their advanced
skill and cheap labor.
They were guaranteed the
same treatment and full citizen
ship rights as the South Af-
ricans, but they did not get 1t,
said the High Commissioner to
South Africa.
He referred to the law passed
in l943 restricting their rights,
and stated the situation is worse
than when South Africa became a
member Of the United Nations
organization. In other words, the
rights Of the Indians in South At
rica have been violated twice, said
Deshmukh.
"If the Indians in South Africa
are not given full citizenship
rights, 1t is our responsibility to
see that they get IT," Mr.. Dash
mukh asserted. He commented on
his own fruitless negotiations with
Jan Christian Smuts, Prime Min
lister Of the Union Of South Africa,
just before the bill was passed.
"We have only recourse to the
international Forum, on the ros-
trum Of the United Nations Cen
eral Assembly, where we can plead
our case" the Indian delegate con-
eluded.
Mr.. Deshmukh, who Is on the
Trusteeship Committee, then talked
Of his eountry's position toward
trusteeships. India will endorse in
ter'national trusteeship, which Is
more than some countries viii, he
said. But we do not agree to any
dependent country under a single
trusteeship Of any one country"
he added.

One other corporation now has only
two Negroes among 500 employees.
In the mail order houses, there are
10 Negroes IN one and in the other
firm, Negroes are employed ag jan
itors and matrons.
ST. Paul Behind
Fr. Gilligan told the audience
that Sc. Paul was behind the times
in employing Negroes IN depart
ment stores, other than as matr0ns
and janitors as compared b New
York City, where department stores
employed Negroes as clerks, etc.
No Negroes have worked on the
production Of the beverage of beer,
although in St. Paul alone about
1900 persona are employed BY che
breweries. Before the war Negroes
were employed BY the railroads
which made the greatest eontribu-
tion towards keeping the Negroes
OF Minnesota alive during the do
precision years, Packing plants
hired about 100 Negroes IN 1884,
Ford plant about 10; u. s. postal
department and other u. s. aRRn-
cies, state government, country
government and the municipal goV-
ernment.

statement has been made that

Fr. Gillignn pointed out ns early
as 1885 the Minnesota Legislature
