tablish the right of Negroes in the
South to vote proved increasingly
fruitful last year, according to
the 1913 Annual Report of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, published
today The report pointed out that
approximately 100000 of an esti-
mated one million qualified Negro
es in the southern states voted in
the November presidential cleo
ton.
The NAACP report, entitled
THE Fortieth Year in the Crusade

tivity of the Association during
l948 on all fronts, with sections
devoted to branch activity, legal
accomplishments, the legislative
work of the Washington bureau,
labor, veterans affairs, church,
public relations, research, and
the annual conference Of the AS
ISOLATION.
Political Action
In the North as we'll as the
South, the NAACP placed en-
phasis during 1913 on the struggle
for civil rights through political
action, conducting an intensive
campaign to encourage Negroes
to value the right to vote and to
exercise it judieiously Early in the

East and West Unable
To Find Formula Tor
Exchanging Trade Data
A. ,he Asseeiossd Pres.

/ GENEVA, May zS.-Hepresen-
tatiyes of East and West labored
for four days here this week to
find . mutually agreeable way of
Exchanging information to help
expand their trade. and failed.
The new committee on develop
ment Of trade set up by the Eco
nomic Commission for Europe thus
had TO postpone solution Of the
problem which Is the basis Of its
work-the collection OF informa-
ton on which an increase of East
West trade could be built.
The committee reached agree
ment on q resolution asking the
commissions secretariat to make
"a more complete report on the
possibilities of development Of in
ter European trade"
Meeting Failure, Porter Says.
Paul r. Porter, American dele
gate to the commission. said to-
day "the meeting was q complete
failure, resulting from the refusal
of the Russians to disclose any
information which had not already
been published. With this Rus
sian refusal, the satellite coun-
tries, regardless of their own view,
fell in line"
The Soviet view on the meeting
could not be obtained.
Officials of the commission S
secretariat did not view the meet
ing as a complete failure, how
ever. They said the meeting
brought out all the issues in
volved and the governments OF
East and West could now deter
mine how far they wished to go.
There was q general feeling
among the delegations that un-
less the next meeting of the COM
mittee, probably next fall, brought
results the effort would have to
be written of as a failure.
Three Methods Rejected.
The problem before the COM
mittee was to find q method OF
exchanging trade information on
which negotiations could be
based. Three methods were sug-
gested and all three met with
| disanproyal
Under the first method, the Sec
retariat would gather information
from the governments sof Europe
through questionnaires.
A second method proposed was
to have each country come to q
meeting with two lists-one con-
tanning production figures and po-
tential exports and the other i'm
ports and credits required-on the
basis Of which negotiations could
be started.
The third plan was for the
secretariat to visit the various
European capitals and gather al
information available.
