standing and friendship as the only
way to lasting peace was echoed
again and again last night by rs
visiting foreign university women
delegates at formal dinner given

Branch Of the American Association
of University Women.
The dinner was the high light Of
week of entertainment for the
visitors who are en- route to Toronto,

sity Women.

European countries, the Philippines
and Brazil, said:
I'VE have come to America to
work. BY setting the place for the
IFUW's first postwar conference

lenged us to understand and know
you better. We also bring chal-

problems of the old world, which
though they seem the same, have
different roots"
Mile. Ursula Vincent, a teacher

American reconstruction program

magazines and films, through which
our boys and girls are learning
more about the United States, but
by doing so have established closer
relations between our two countries. y
Several delegates from Great
Britain expressed their appreciation
for having the opportunity to cor
rect erroneous impressions they

America was a land Of skyscrapers
until she saw our beautiful rolling
countryside" The delegates al
ready have visited Boston, New York
and Philadelphia.
Mrs. E. c. Williams, of the Lon
don branch of the IFUW, disclaim-
ed the gloomy picture of Britain
presented by the British press. u
There Is no dependency, no feel

picture, she said. Things are
coming back. Our gardens are
Towering again, and gradually
things are looking up"

British Deny Plan
To Return Negro @
Babys to U. S.

Washington, c. Apr. (NNPA)
The British Incarnation Office
here said last Friday thatp ress
dispatches from Lohdon stating
that plans are under wayq to
ship 5000 illegimate English-born
children of colored American SOL
diers to the United States are
completely unfouhded."
1t had queried it's London office
regarding thine report, the agency
said, and had received the reply
that it was absolutely without Gre
dence.
No Official attepmt would be made
to ship such children to the Uni
ted States, the London reply stat
ed.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
the State Department has informa-
ton which tehds to show that the
entire move shapes up as a scheme
to raise money in the United
States.
Although it declined to verify
the information, it was also uearh-
ed that the State Department has
received a report from London
which discredits the entire move.
According to the State Department
report, there are hot 10000 but
only 500 illegimate children of
colored soldiers and English moth
ers in England.
State Department officials de-
clihed to make the report public
on the ground that the State De-
partment is not involved in the
matter.
Reginald Johnson of the Nation
al Urban League said here last
Wednesday that the national body
is not active in the reported move
to bring the children to the Uni
ted States but that the New York
Urban League had interested itself
in the matter.
On the floor of the House last
Wednesday, Representatives John
E. Rankin, Democrat, of Mississ-
ippi leader of the white trash bloc
in the House, confirmed a state
ment the morning apers carried
that he would oppose the bringing
to this country of ga lot of illegi-
mate half1breed negro children
from England
He said they are "the offsrings
of the scum of the British Isles"
and repeated his statement that
they had probably inherited "the
vices O bath races and the virtues
of neither
In this osition he said he was
supported by "ohe of the leading
negro bishops of the SOUTH" Bis
hop J. e. Cain, of Arkansas. He
quoted Bisho Cain as having said
that 'the intelligent negroeso f
America" will oppose the move
