the world as the Montevideo Con-
ference opened.
Cuba was to be the kernel of our
new and positive policy toward
Latin America throughout the year.
Our actions toward Cuba would
prove to the rest of Latin America
whether we were sincere in our
protestations of nonintervention.
While I was en- route to Washing
ton (from the Montevideo Confer
ence) the Grau government IN
Cuba had faded out and Col. Carlos
Mendieta, leader of the Nationalist
Party, became President. My con-
versation at Key West with Ambas-
sador Caffery dealt with the ques-
ton of recognizing Mendieta.
New Treaty Made
Following this conversation ] tele-
phoned the President in Washington
and expressed my support OF Mr..
CafTery's view that the Mendie1a
government should be recognized.
The same day received a message
from Acting Secretary Phillips stat
l. ing that the President would invite
the Latin American representatives
in Washington to meet with him in
the White House Tuesday or We'd
nesday of the following week. The
President would tell them that the
requisites we had laid down for
recognition of Cuban government
had been met by the popular and
political support obtained by Men,
dieta and the apparent ability of the
government, with the help of the
Cuban armed forces, to maintain
public order.
| The State Department now has
tened the preparation of a new
treaty to take the place of the
treaty of 1908. Negotiations were
opened and on May 20, 1884, 1,
along with Assistant Secretary
Welles and the Cuban Ambassador,
Manuel Marquee Sterling, signed
the new treaty. Mr.. Welles had
made an earnest plea to me to be
allowed the privilege of signing it
with me, although this was not Gus
tomary He had taken consider
able part in the negotiations, hence
I agreed.
| President Roosevelt sent the
treaty to the Senate on the same
day. In the remarkable time Of
two days the Senate voted its con-
sent. Ratifications were exchanged
on June 9 and the Cubans declared
three-day festival in celebration.

AS Thomas Sees 1t
In a statement to the Senate,
Senator Thomas conceded that the
bill is not spectacular nor was it
advertised as an overnight cure for
strained industrial relations. But" 4"
he said, 1T is a gradual. sure and
lasting remedy"
Senator Thomas went on to rec
ognize labor's objections to the
Taft Hartley Act and said that he
held the view that the act ignores
the cause-"a distribution of in
come that is economically un-
healthy''-and attempts to deal with
symptoms. The extension service
bill, on the contrary, he said, would
promote healthful and peaceful in
dustrial relations through knowl-
edge.
Through this bill, it has been said,
higher education could more COM
pletely fulfill a basic function-to
develop the capacity of all people
to serve in the task of enriching
the life of the Nation.
The chairman and executive sec
retary of the Committee for the
Extension of Labor Education,
which has been set up here, is Hilda
w. Smith, who has been associated
with workers educational move
ments for many years. She was the
first director of the pioneer Bryn
Mawr Summer School for Woman
Workers in Industry at Bryn Mawr,
Pa, which has now become the
Hudson Shore Labor School, West
Park. N. Y.
Workers leaders think they have
strong case and hope that when
public hearings are held the week
of February Is before Senate COM
mittee they can make it so impress
siYe passage of the bill will be
assured.

Racialphobia Makes
Rankin See Red

WASHINGTON, March II, (P
CNS) - The dreaded disease of
''racialphobia" has so effected the
mental vision of Mississippi's Rep.
John E. Rankin, that he is now
able to see nothing but cred"
Every democratic step advanced
in this country today reflects
"red" in the eyes of this "South-
ern gentleman" Every plea for
human rights in America is charg-
ed by the Mississippi congressman
as being communistically influ-
enced.
The fear of eradicating the bug
aboo of "racial superiority" from
the earth is causing the MISSISSIPPI
plan to squirm in his congress
sional hot seat like a worm in a
country fireplace.
From the House floor, last Mon
day, Mr.. Rankin attacked the dem
ocratic practices of Howard uni
versity, calling the institution a
"hot bed of communism"
The Congressman's charge upon
this cosmopolitan school came as a
result of a proposal recently made
by Federal Security Administra-
tor Oscar w. Ewing, regarding
the placement of Negro interns at
Gallinger hospital.

Howard medical school graduates

er of the bus from which Fred
Hamlet of Eaton was allegedly

gravated an old nervous ailment.

Although Negroes vote in the
primaries of many Georgia coun-

Even though the high court has
ruled several times hat Negroes
cannot be denied the vote in
southern primaries, which are the
true elections in this area, var

voter qualifications to keep the
colored away.
Although the state sets up cleo

Civic organizations in the Dis

open Gallinger to Negro needles.

bus and forcibly removed Hamlet.
When asked if the bus driver
touched Hamlet Eubank answered
emphatically, "No, sir" Hamlet's

driver did assist in ejecting him.
These witnesses included several
volunteers who were made quite
indignant at what was occurring.
Eubank testified that he was fol-
lowing the drivers orders in re-
moving Hamlet and that he did

This is one of the largest sea-
ports on the eastern seaboard. 1t
was one of the vital shipping
points during World War l and II
and will hold a strategic position
in shipping in World War III.
Nonetheless, it is one of the filth
lest cities in this section of Vir-
ginia.
1t is not possible to visualize
the filth, dirt and scum of this
city without seeing it with your
own eyes. Hundreds of Negro and
white families live in squalor and
dirt like inhuman beings in this
city. Few streets in the poor Sec
tions where Negro families live
are paved.
l gathered this news of the filth
of Norfolk several weeks ago on
a brief visit to the city. l was
amazed at the social and general
business conditions l discovered
in places like pearl .Harbor" and
the section near Smith street.
Hardly half of the streets in the
Negro section of Norfolk where
Negro families rent are paved.
Restaurants in Negro sections
sweep dirty scrub water right out
into the street. Cess pools fire.
quently are stopped up causing
toilet water to run out into the
street from flooded sewage pipes.
There are sections in Norfolk
that are wet IL months a year.
Residents told me they have seen
toilet paper running up out of
man holes in the street. Occas-
ionally the odor from leaking
mains in summer or winter is
nauseating.
Norfolk has been filthy and in
sanitary so long, one man told me,
that neither the Negro visitors nor
the people directly affected pay
much attention to it. The filth
has become an accepted status of
the city people.
AS would be expected the filth
of the city has made residents
careless themselves. People spit
freely on the streets. You have to
be careful in walking the streets
especially in damp or wet wealth
er less you slip on spit on the
street.
In the section where the mass
of Negroes live, the streets are
unpaved and both the streets and
sidewalks are frequently muddy
and full of holes of water ors
than some of our country roads.
Many Negro families live in
shacks and some families of four
or more occupy one or two rooms
in dirt and general conditions not
decent enough for cattle. 1t is
not unusual in some Negro Sec
tons to see houses leaning to one
side or propped up to keep them
from falling.
Bottles, cans, paper, pieces of
old wood, wire, old pieces of card
board or card boxes, litter the
worst streets and some vacant
lots in the city. The insanitary and
unclean appearance of many of
the streets and vacant lots has
affected the people. They don't

seem to have any pride and lack
the proper appreciation for
beauty, neatness, cleanliness and
tidiness.
In some sections O fthe city
women come out into the streets
dirty, stockingless, untidy and
filthy looking. Some spit on the
sidewalks more than men and act
generally like people who have
lost al lsense of decency and in
tegrity.
l was here only briefly, but l
can understand some of the I'M
savory reports I've received from
former visitors to Norfolk since
my visit. Careless women use aw-
full language on the streets. They
say anything that comes in their
minds using the vilest and dirtiest
language conceivable.
Many of the white landlords
who rent to Negro families who
are hard pressed to find any kind
of home make no effort to i'm
prove the property. It the house
leaks and there are holes in the
wall and broken windows, they do
nothing about it.
These landlords are taking ad-
vantage of renters because of the
critical housing shortage here. And
they are trying, apparently to get
income out of these old dilapi-
dated broken down houses as long
as they can.
Few buildings you see going up
are for dwelling quarters. They
are usually new stores, churches,
beer gardens, garages or struc-
lures for some type of business.
It's something for a quick turn
over of ones investment.

Workers win
Wage Increase

BRIDETOWN, Barbados, May
IA. (ANP) Field and factory
workers in the sugar industry
came out best in the dispute with
management here recently. The
workers were awarded a Is per
cent wage increase by C. w. Bur-
rowes, labor adviser to the comp
troller for development and well
fare, who was appointed arbitra-
tor in the dispute.
Burrowes heard evidence on
what the workers wages should
be in line with the increase in
price for sugar, at a meeting in
the labor commissioners office.
Members of the Sugar Producers
federation, Barbados Workers un-
ion, Congress Trade union, the
director of agriculture, and &C.
countants took part in the meet
ing.
In deciding in favor of the
workers, Burrowes said, "The

tory workers in the sugar indus

classes of out-of-crop factory
workers, shall be increased from
