GUM. This method Of spending.
Marshall plan funds will certainly
strengthen Communism in colonies.
This seems unfriendly enough on
the face of things, but a few weeks
ago the same state department hand
ling Mr.. Truman's foreign affairs,
refused to send not only a delegate
but even an observer, to a conference
Of sister American republics inter
ested in ending colonialism in the
New World. We did not bother to
explain publicly why the u. S.
snubhed the conference.
Now the people who would have
been most benefited by granting
political independence to French,
British, and Dutch possessions in the
New World, are practically all Ne
groes. They constitute the over
whelming majority of the popula-
ton in European colonies in South
America, Central America, and the
West Indies. Not once has our gov
eminent indicated it favors extend
ing self-rule to our neighbors who
have darker skins.
If there is anything in the world
which can push the millions of Ne
groes in colonial areas into the arms
of Communism it is the feeling that
America is opposed to their hopes
for freedom. So far we have done
little to convince them that we have
a genuine interest in their political
freedom.
1t is high time that the Negro
voter and the Negro politician paid
a little more attention to what our
government is doing abroad.

that he would not authorize on cleo.

nance construction of a new central
high school in Stafford county for
white children until he is satisfied
that there is no need for a new
county Negro high school.
Judge Bazile took this position
despite the fact that both the
school board and the board of super
visors in the county had asked for
the election in March. He said he
was not convinced that the new
White school was necessary to re-
Iieve the congestion which the
board member used as their rea-

PHILADELPHIA - (ANP) The
F. w. Woolworth's newest and most
modern 5-and10 cent store opened
I'm downtown Philadelphia at Broad
and Chestnut streets last week
with four Negro salesgirls behind
counters.
The clerks are Mrs. Pauline Haw-

Vivien Waters, and Miss Lauralean
Eubanks. Recommended by the
Armstrong association for the po-
sitions, they were selected from
among 200 applicants last month.
According to Wayne L. Hopkins,
executive secretary, and Lewis j.
Carter, industrial secretary Of the
Armstrong association, the girls
were hired after a series Of confer
ences between the company and the
association during the past year.
They said:

is MIR. TRUMAN'S FOREIGN
POLICY ANTI-NEGRO

Despite the efforts Of Republicans
and the strong support of a few
southern representatives, admins
trarion Democrats on the Foreign
Affairs committee of the U. s. House
of Representatives, were able to de-
feat all efforts to have Ethiopia and
Liberia included in the new Marshall
plan funds.
The administration Democrats ig-
nored the personal appeals from dis
tinguished citizens and prominent or
CARNATIONS in the u. S., and pro-
posed that Congress appropriate
nearly six billion dollars to aid eco
nomic development in Europe and
in the African, West Indian, and
Asiatic colonies of various European
powers. Republican members of the
committee report they tried hard to
help Liberia and Ethiopia, but ad.
ministration Democrats who control
the committee would not go against
the advice of the U. S. State de-
partment.
To many persons it would seem
that the Truman administration,
despite its civil rights program here
at home, is unwilling to help a Ne
gro if he, instead of being under
the thumb of a European power,
IS trying to stand on his own feet
and make his way in the world like
a man. AS things now stand the
only Negroes that will benefit from
the Marshall plan funds are subjects
OF France, England, Holland or Bel.

Puerto Rico Industrial School
Offers Caribbean Scholarships

Port of Spain, Feb. Is: Thirty
scholarships to the School of In
duStrial Arts in Puerto Rico will
be offered students from other
Caribbean territories Jaime Ben
iteZ, Chancellor of the University
of Puerto Rico, recently announc-
ed.
The scholarships will enable
promising students from French,
Dutch, British and American ter
~ritories in the Caribbean to at
tend the School without paying
enrolment fees. In addition, a
grant of $500 will be awarded the
ten most promising students.
These are to be chosen by the
Caribbean Commission.
These awards are the first con-
crete results of the Third West
Indian Conference, sponsored by
the Caribbean Commission and
held at Guadeloupe, French West
Indies, last December. At that
timeFernando Sierra Berdecia,
member of the Puerto Rican de-
legation to the Conference and
Commissioner of Labor of Puerto
Rico, proposed that "any institu-
tons of higher education in the
West Indies take special measures
to make their facilities available
to students from all parts of the
area, and particularly that the
Caribbean Commission should
find out from the University of
Puerto Rico whether it could
make available the facilities of its
new School of Industrial Arts to
train students from other Carib-

Convinced that his home had

land, and proceeded to build.
We are very happy that he has
done this, for in SO doing he
has set an excellent example,
and we wish to see many
others returning home, and
adding to the wealth and pros

Mr.. Copemann's example is
very well worth following.

A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE
No. Al

a III ~ EAZ1LN LIZ
HI WORK DONE by Dennis [. Copemann serves as
an example which might well be followed. Starting from
scratch he has erected a dwelling and combination office and
business building which compares favorable with the most
outstanding in this part of the world. The entire area has been
made new by the erection of this building. There is the equip
ment and convenience, both for the families who dwell there,
or the persons who occupy the Office and business sections.
Modern display windows have been inserted, and the entire
building SO arranged as to offer the greatest facility to occu-
pants. On the first, or street floor there is an area of 2,l5O
square feet, and on the second floor there are ten rooms, we
were advised by Mr., Copeman on inquiry.
WHAT MAKES Mr.. COPEMANNS efforts outstanding
and commendable is the faith with which he attacked his
tasks. He evidently did not have to see a busting boom which
would guarantee tremendous returns. He saw the possibility
of doing something which needed to be done, and he did it.
This is the spirit which is needed for recovery and progress
on this island. We have been too prone to wait for the govern
ment to do everything, or in the absence of that, then safe pro-
FITS have tosbe guaranteed before anyone would venture forth.
It is to be noted that the real progress made in other parts of
the world come from private enterprise. In fact, in the United
States private enterprise frowns upon government business,
and as a result the government refrains, as far as possible,
from engaging in any form Of business which private enter
prise can adequately provide.
Mr.. CoPEMANN, A NATIVE of St. Croix, left these
shores in 1917, spent 2 years in the U. S. Navy; 4 years in the
Merchant Marine, S years as a substitute Mail Clerk in New
York City, during which time he attended Pratt Institute for
two and a half years; attended Polytechnic Institute for / year
after which he decided to enter the taxicab business. Start
ing out with one cab, which he drove himself, within S years
he had three; by 1887 he increased the number to Is; then the
depression struck causing him to lose FIVE of his cabs. He then
started in the restaurant business in a small way but progress

University of Puerto Rico whether
that institution could provide a
! number of tuition scholarships
for a few promising students who
would be sent there by govern
ments of other territories on a
scholarship basis"
The resolution was adopted by
the Conference and later endorsed
by the Caribbean Commission at
its Seventh Meeting, held in Qua
deloupe at the close of the Confer
ence. Ex-Governor Jesus T. Pinero
then still in Office, undertook to
take appropriate action on his re-
turn to Puerto Rico. On Deem
Der 20 he wrote Chancellor BENZ
tez informing him of the resolu-
ton adopted in Guadeloupe, say
ing in part, II am sure that you
are aware of the need of the Ca
ribbean territories to receive train
ing in industrial arts as an essen
tial for successful industrializa-
ton. Since the University of Puer
to Rico has excellent resources in
that field, / trust that it will make
an effort to open its doors to stu
dents from British, French, and
Dutch territories of the Caribbean
and from the United States Virgin
Islands. In addition, and in order
to carry out fully the request of
the Conference, / hope that the
University will give favorable con
sideration to offering a student
from each Caribbean territory"
Eleven days later, Chancellor
Benitez wrote the Governor in
forming him that the University
had decided to grant thirty scho-
larships providing for free tuition
and ten grants of $500 each.
Founded in 1913 to train person
mel for the work to be done in the
shops and factories mushrooming
under Puerto Rico's industrializa-
ton program, the School offers
technical and mechanical courses
of all kinds-airplane motors, car
mechanics, electricity, lathe work,
carpentry, etc. AS in other branch
es of the University, instruction
is given in Spanish. This fact,
Chancellor Benetiz points out,
Should be kept in mind by stu
dents wishing to come to our is
land. However, after the first
months of theoretical instruction,
the language used is not as i'm
portant in industrial training as in
academic courses"
The School, said to be the lar
gest of its kind in the world,
charges the highest enrolment
fees in the University, due to the
fact that while the University de-
rives only Us of its income from
