have seen oppression and ex- ploitation at their worst. They have seen segregation, discrimi- nation and a vile caste system operate, with the colonials at
 he bottom. They have seen the Dutch put aside all moral, eth ical and human considerations for economic gain. They know that the Dutch will never volun- tarily give them their indepen- dence and they are resigned to fight to the death for it. The Indonesians came out from un- der the Japanese rule with an indomitable spirit to fight for freedom. May they succeed. As a Negro and a human being, I can never sanction slavery, no matter what the form. I can only say that the Dutch had the chance years ago to treat the In- donesians as human beings and did not take advantage of it.. They forgot that even oppres- sion must, at some time, come to an end.

manent fixture of the Republi- can party, but represents a re- sentiment of the way Democrats fumbled their opportunity. It represents an offer and a chal- lenge to republicans to profit by it's previous mistakes and do something concrete for the bet terment of racial relations and racial improvement.
 The Negro must not and will not again become permanently attached to any party but will vote as best suits his interests. If the Republicans fail to seize the opportunity to retain this shifted vote, now that they con- trol Congress, the chances of a pro-Democratic Negro vote will be greatly enhanced. The Ne gro does not want lip service as is given by Senator Taft of Ohio. Taft declares that he is for a permanent FEPC and will vote for 1t if it ever comes to a vote, but he refuses to vote for cloture which is the only way to stop the southern fili- buster against the bill. He in- directly votes against the FEE PC by not voting for cloture. Sheer hypocrisy, I call it.
 Republicans, your chance has arrived. After IA long and lean years, your opportunity to re- capture the Negro vote is> at it's best. You will be watched and it is expected that you will make the most of your opportunity No miracles are expected but progress 1t.

The Crumbling Dutch Empire

Prior to World War II, The Netherlands had one of the worlds greatest empires. To- day she has the shakiest en- pire. Her chickens are merely coming home to roost. The In donesians have given notice to them in no uncertain terms that they will not peaceably be sub jects of the Dutch again. The Dutch have tried armed force to put down the rebellion, but the spirit of the Indonesians re- fused to be broken and they are just as strong as ever i'll their demands for independence. The Dutch, warily watching their tottering empire totter some more, decided to pursue a course of cooperation, but even that was too late. Their efforts now center around trying to salvage as much as they can out of the old empire.
 Behind it all is the fact that the colonials learned to hate the white man because of previ- ous relations. They want no part of him anymore. They

ECHOES AROUND THE WORLD
By William D. Graham A Republican Opportunity

A Republican Opportunity
 We like to think of the Civil War as being fought to free the slaves but we know the imme- diate cause of the war was to prevent a split in the union ; a split which was the result of the slavery question. The Am erican Negro was freed by this war All this happened under a Republican administration. Since gaining his freedom, the Negro has felt that he owed the Republican party his loyalty, and until 1892 and the advent of the late Franklin D. Roose- welt on the national political scene, he has been as staunch a Republican as Mississippi is Democratic. The Republican party, seeing this blind loyalty, did little to foster it and seem- ingly considered the Negro vote as being in the bag. As the re- suit, the Negro made little po- litical headway, even as late as the Harding, Coolidge and Hoo yer regimes.
 The metamorphosis came in 1882. The depression found the Negro still in the Hast to be hired and first to be fired" class. It made him conscious of his lack of progress and the lethar- gic attitude which the Repub- lican party had about him. He went democratic by a small ma jority in 1882 and in 1886 he went completely overheard for the Democratic party. This continued in 194O and 1914. During these years, the Demo crats did not exactly light the Negro's path with a blaze of glory, but there were some tan gible gains. The Negro showed his ,gratefulness at the polls.
 This state of affairs was not long to continue, however. The Democrats found themselves in the embarrassing position of clamoring for the Negro vote in the North and using every de- vice at it's command to keep him from voting in the South. This situation, coupled with the fact that the Democrats failed to use their position of power to eff feet certain measures which the Negro wanted, led to dissatis- faction and the consequent shift of large numbers back to the Republican party last Novem- Der.
 This shift does not mean, how ever, that the Negro has resum- ed his former position as a per-

During the past week I've been very busy experimenting with the new emergency flour. I've tried all my favorite recipes and had reasonably good results. s Many women have asked me if the new flour makes good cakes and other pastries. We'll, it does! And, with the exception of fancy cakes and pastries, I've discovered that all my usual recipes may be used. Of course, the new emer- gency flour doesn't give quite the fine texture and body that our cus- tomary white flour does, but good cakes and pastries can be baked with it.
 I've had good luck with one cake recipe - and thought you might like to have it:
 cups siftett enriched flour
 teaspoons baking powder
 l teaspoon salt
 k cup shortening
 l cup sugar
 eggs. beaten
 teaspoon vanilla extract
 cup milk
 Sift together flour. baking powdes and salt. Cream together shortening and extract until light and fluffy. Add eggs .;, heating well until creamy. Add mixture Mix. Add remaining 1k milk. mixing well. Add remaining M flour mixture. mix. Pour batter into two lined ciEht-inch cake pans. Bake in moderate oven (:b5O deg. F.) about 35 to 10 minutes.
 When you cover that cake with your favorite icing, you'll be sur- prised at the speed with which your family will gobble it up. I've already baked four cakes with the new emergency flour, and I can tell you that it works iii you follow the recipe carefully. With emergency flour you must be sure to do that. Otherwise, you may not achieve complete success

The Cab Co. expects to op-
crate five new Plymouth cabs
this winter. These are equip
ped with new police batteries
and low cut-in generator so
the radio does not fail to work
due to lack of power supply.
In order to give the public
the most efficient service the
Cab Co. would greatly appre-
ciate it if patrons when plac-
ing an order for a cab would
state their destination. With
the facilities of the two-way

Co. could give the public much
more satisfactory service by
knowing this fact and save it's
patrons much time.
The Cab CO. is erecting a

to stay right on the roads and
yet provide sufficient shelter

HOME HANDICRAFT
ITEMS ON DISPLAY
At the Illinois, Wisconsin
and Indiana State En- ;xe

Mrs. John Sticke of Wads-
worth, Illinois, will have one of
the original handicraft items
she made displayed at the
Modern Homemaking Exhibit
in the Prairie Farmer WIS
tent at the Illinois State Fair
this week and later at both
Wisconsin and Indiana State
Fairs.
Her handicraft items, two
pot holders, designed like ears
of corn, were the ones select
ed from hundreds sent to Gla-
dys Shelley, Modern Home
making Editor Of Prairie Farm
er-WLS, to be exhibited at the
Fair. Exhibited by members
of the Prairie Farmer Research
Staff, who are rural home
makers in the four states of
Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan
and Indiana, the items display
ed this year are excellent ex-
amples of ingenuity that pays.
They carry out the theme
'Homemade gifts for every oc-
casion," and offer ample proof
that handmade items have
special attractions in gift
giving. Each piece of handi-
craft is mounted for display,
marked with the name of the
contributor, and a mimeo-
graph sheet, telling how many
of the items are made, will be
available to all who visit the
exhibit.
