The program of the Seventh-Day
Adventists, which has been oper-
ating medical and educational in
stltutionS in China, for the past
so years will continue, according
to the Rev. w. E. Nelson. veteran
treasurer of the General Confer
ence of Seventh-Day AdventiSts.
Mr.. Nelson has just returned to
the General Conference Head
quarters in Takoma Park after a
28,000-mile air journey to ascer-
tain first hand, how world condi-
| tlons were affecting missionary
EXPANSION in the Orient. partic-
ularly in China and the Philip
pines. This was his fifth such trip
during the last % years.
I'VE are definitely not going to
let our Christian converts down in
this troubled time in their coun-
try's dilemma. Our denomination
alone. has made the greatest num-
Der of converts to Christianity
during past year that it has dur
ing the half century it has
been in the missionary field in
China. In their dire extremity,
great masses of Chinese are turn
ing to anything that will give
them something better than they
now have. We missionaries owe it
to them to supply the teachings of
Christianity" he said.
1t is true his church has moved
It's central training school from
Nanking to Hong Kong and its
central headquarters from Shang-
hal to Kowloon which is in Brit
ish-leased territory across the bay
on the mainland from Hong Kong.
However, it is still maintaining

ers are operating upon a more ex-
tensive basis than has ever been
the case.
Millions on the Move.
In China proper the conditions
are incredibly bad" Mr.. Nelson
said. In, fact, it is difficult to con-
vey to those who have not seen the
situation as it is, how bad they
are. Actually. millions of people
are on the move. Some are fleeing
from the Communists. Probably.
an equal. number are fleeing
toward them"
The suffering of individuals
is indescribable. Every night
during the past winter scores of
homeless people died on the
streets of Shanghai. They curl
up wherever they are when dark
ness overtakes them and if they
haven't resistance enough to
survive, they are found dead and
carted off the next morning. The
death rate from malnutrition,
tuberculosis and other diseases
fostered by poverty, crowded liv-
ing conditions and the absence
of sanitary conditions is fantas-
tic in itself"
Chinas business men to whom
Mr.. Nelson talk were discouraged
and perplexed and at a loss to
understand why the United States
has failed to take a firm hand.
The British are unmolested in
the leased territory, they point
out. The city of Hong Kong is
clean. The shops are packed
with goods, mostly Chinese, at
reasonable prices. Even food is
plentiful, although exhorbitant
in price because it is an open port.

against Pvts. B. F. Howe and J. C.
Ostrom. who testified they struck
prisoner with their clubs after
the prisoner showed Pvt. Howe
through a glass door and turned
on Pvt. Ostrom. Judge Scott said
the policemen picked up a help
less drunk and subdued him In one
Of the most brutal manners I've
heard of ."
Corpl. Ras Nelson, president of
the association. said the report
would be sent to the Public Order
Committee without comment or
recommendation.
The association appointed a
committee also to ask Supt. of
Police Robert J. Barrett If II would
be possible to equip scout cars and
cruisers with riot guns or shot
guns.

ment now purchased by individual
policemen be made standard
equipment. Saddlebags, leather
gloves and red warning lights
were among the items mentioned.

The Labor View
BY GEORGE r. MCCRAY
Money and Political Power

From the sunny sands of Flori-
da, AFL President. William Green.
announced few days ago that the
political action department of the
federation would make regular
cash payments to state legislators
who vote right. The federation
feels, and quite rightly, that the
salaries which the various states
pay to the members of their legis-
lative bodies are so small that the
average poor man cant afford to
so into politics.
Mr.. Green. had he been more
blunt, might have pointed out that
the long failure of working men
and women to contribute to the
campaign and maintenance ex-
pCnsCs of poor" politicians could
not always be counted on to stand
up and fight for labor's interests.
II the AL carries out this
plan TO supplement the Incomes
or observing" state Legislators.
the CIO Is certain TO do the same
thing. For the boys In the Go
will never permit II TO be said
that II IN more advantageous to
be- friendly with the AFL than
with the Go
From the point OF view of the
interests of the Negro worker, this
plan to subsidizc needy. but pro-
labor politicians is especially i'm
pOrtant. 1t is another indication
that the area of common agree
mrnt between American labor and
capital has become so narrow as
to make It quite difficult for
single politician to represent both
interests
The division between labor on
one hand and business or property
interests on the other in the US.
is certain to become SO sharp and
so wide that the average Amrrl-
can Will be forced to take a posi-
ton with one side or the other
This is pretty much the situation
in France and Great Britain today
In any such line up, in the L S. all
evidence indicates that the Negro
worker and hence the great ma
Jorlty of the Negro people Will

support what Mr. Truman calls
tn" social welfare state. Survey
after survey has revealed the Ne
gro voter to be the most progress
sIv" IN the country. We want social
legislation.
On the basis Of long range
trends in American politics, 1t Is
extremely unlikely that the Re
publicans will ever recapture
the Negro vote. And so long as
the Democrats believe in IA strong
central federal government in
order To develop the social wei
far" state, the party will hold
the Negro vote.
But only during Truman's APP
parrntly hopeless campaign have
Negroes organized a campaign to

Just how one Negro can bring
himself to attempt to high-hat
another whose troubles are like
his own is hard to understand Yet
even and anon. we bump INTO
recently privileged Negro who tries
unsuCccssfully to be snobbish and
snooty and snarlish Ordinarily it
is not the Negro who has been
accustomed to a decent Compel
CnCc in the matter Of food and
dress and education, but the fellow
who lacked early days essential
food and clothing
In other words. II we looked
beneath the pretcnSiOns of the
prOfeSsed Negro SnOb, we will
find lean thinly clad fellow
struggling on the ragged edge
of bare existence. Leaving the
pretended Negro SnOb aside, We
find entirely too much bitter
ness and riValricS and Jealous
les and enNyingS and honor
mania among Negroes who are
our supposed leaders and who
are expected to know better.
On every hand, we find ambl-
tious Negroes quite willing to stab
in the back other struggling Ne
groes like themselves, and this
makes a tragedy more tragic.
There are some little Negroes
who would be big and the only way
to this desired blgncss is to dis
parage and maIign some of their
struggling Negro fclIowmcn. Ne
grocs must have done with this
pcttlnesS and ChlldIShnrss which is
largely a hold over from slavery
The time has come for the Negro
to equip himself like a man and
cease trying to ride to prominence
and popularity over the PROSTATE
forms of some other struggling
Negro. What makes 1t worse, these
jealousics and chickering's are for
the most part among what we are
wont to call our upper CruSt"
