Negro G. |. War Babies
Due in United States

LONDON - The Negro Welfare
Society of London and Liverpool
said last week 1t planned to send
5000 children of British girls and
American Negro soldiers to the
United States TO be reared by the
fathers they have never seen.
The society said the step await
ed approval of the British and
United States governments.
The announcement added that
5000 other such children remain
ing here would be reared in spe-
cial boarding school soon to be
opened in Liverpool.
THE mothers just cannot fit
them into family and community
life" said Ernest M. Kendall Jo..
the society's attorney. "They are
giving them up. We are making
the arrangements"
Mixed marriages always have
been more common, proportionate-
ly, here than in the United States,
In August, 1916, on the eve of the
departure for home of some of the
Negro troops, some men broke
through barded wire barries at
Bristol Barracks to rush into the
arms of sobbing white girls.
About 80 per cent of the children
fathered by Negro soldiers here
were born to married women, Ken
dali said. Many of the wives. he
added, had husbands in the British
forces overseas.
THAT caused great difficulties
and many divorces" he said.

WHAT IS A MINORITY?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

A hundred years ago a great
man wrote What is a minority :?
The chosen heroes of this earth
have been in a minority. There is
not a social, political or religious
privilege that you enjoy today that
was not bought for you by the
blood and tears and patient suf-
fering of the minority. 1t is the
minority that have stood In the
van of every moral conflict. and
achieved all that is noble in the
history Of the world"
There are none of us whose
fathers have not at some time
been members of a minority =
though it may have been of
nationality, or faith or as in
the case ON the Pilgrim Fathers
among the Indians, of color. No
group was always the majority
- whether it be of race. religion
or class.
And yet = too often we forget
our own backgrounds and turn
on the smaller groups, making
them suffer in turn. Whether we
do 1t thoughtlessly or intention
ally makes no difference. We
~, o, 10 otI..., .,.eR1.
Inconsistent humans yes we
admit it. But more than that, II
Is impractical. too. Surely during
the centuries we should have
acquired some sense.
What makes a minority? 1t is
smallenss in quantity not small
ness in quality. There is nothing
permanent about a minority. There
lis nothing permanent in anything
that can grow.
Personally think terms
like minority and majority ought
to be abolished. In a democracy
they just plain aren't fair. Men
are not superior or inferior, maj
GRITTY or minority, by reason of
the accident I birth by reason
of race, creed, class or color.
Those are inferior who do not
do their best for the common
good, who think of self first
Those are superior who have the
best heart, who can do their best
for all men.
The only true minority is one
comprised of men able to lead,
willing to sacrifice themselves for
the responsibilities of leadership,
elfless enough to lead all people
to the right. This is a minority
of honor. Let's stop all this chat
ter about minority groups and
join the minority of those who
follw the Clean and VIII stand in
the van of progress.

ket pivotals edged forward on a
selective basis today but many lead
ers remained in the losing division
and dealings again were among the
slowest of the past seven months.
The ticker tape crawled from the
opening on and mild irregularity
prevailed near the fourth hour.
Timid bidding by professionals
was inspired by the thought that
further technical recovery was a
possibility. Public participation still
was negligible as skepticism per-
sisted over Wage-price problems, the
business outlook and international
complications. The vote of House
Republicans for tax cuts propped
sentiment to some extent. Good
earnings and dividends were ignored
by most stocks concerned.

Business Federation
Asks Withholding Tax
In 2-Point Program

The Federation of Businessmen's
Associations last night voted in
favor of withholding tax on indi-
vidual incomes and an unincorpor-
ated business tax as means OF OBJ
tanning additional revenues for the
District without disturbing busi-
ness in general
A plan. submitted by Jerome B
Mckee, chairman of the special tax
and legislation committee, will rec
ommend to the Senate and House
Fiscal subcommittee that the Dis
trict have a "simplified tax" 1--WE
don't want a conglomeration Of
taxes, such as a gasoline, amuse-
ment, motor vehicle, cigarette, al
coholic beverage and sales taxes,
Mr.. McKee's committee report read
Would Reduce Exemptions.
According to the federation's plan
employers would withhold three
fourths OF l per cent of all wages
paid, and the individual exemption
would be reduced so per cent.
Mr.. Mckee pointed out the tax
plan would apply to entertainers and
any persons who earned an income
within the city, except those per-
sons who work in the District and
live in a State that will extend the
same courtesy to District residents
Mr.. McKee's committee figured
that whereas $4,000 persons now
pay District income tax. $4,000
would be taxed under the plan.
"It would give the District about
$4,000, 900 the first year Mr.. Nc
kee estimated.
The other members Of the Special
Tax Committee included Benjamin
Striner, of the District Pharmaceu-
tical Association, and Leon E. Hop
kins, OF the Central Business Asso-
ciation. Mr.. Mckee is executive
director Of the District Liquor Deal
ers' Association.

tions spoke briefly to the business
men.
There are lots of things coming

ways be together on Mr.. Newell
said. Our ideas must coincide
We need to work together He

Jack Blank, federation vice presi-
dent, made a motion that the fed
Grafton commend the Detective Bu-
reau in its efficiency and prompt
ness in solving the last two District

He also asked that the proposed

arms be approved. Both motions
were adopted.

building, Fifteenth street and New
