8. General Civil Rights Legislation.
Because the recommendations of
the Presidents Committee on Civil
Rights and the Presidents Civil
Rights Program contain legislative
proposals that strike at the heart
of race discrimination in this coun-
try we urge that these recommen-
dations be translated into law.
Specifically, we strongly favor: A
Fair Employment Practices Law,
the so-ca1led equal protection"
(Anti-lynch laws, eliminat on of
poll taxes as a pferequisit to voting
repeal OF all race segregation stat
utes, passage Of more realistic and
enforceable FEDERAL civil rights laws,
a greatly strengthened and active
Cdvil' Rights Section in the Depart
ment Of Justice under an Assistant
Attorney General, FEEDER Civil
Rights Commission, and a joint
Congressional Committee on Civil
Rights.
0. Social and Humanitarian Legis-
lation.
We endorse legislation designed
to aid America generally, such as
low-cost housing, federal aid to
insure minimum educational oppor-
tunities for all, controls to prevent
rentals and hold down
the costs of living, extended social
security coverage, and more real
istic veterans benefit laws, with
special emphasis on strengthening
laws designed to aid the disabled
and handicapped veteran.

Would Oppose.
Equally important with the pas
sage of remedial and corrective
egislation is the task of preventing
enactment of legislation directed
against the welfare, security, and

American pOple. We believe in
a vigilant guard lest

nee damage or destroy civil liber-
les or human dignity.

Mote: For purposes of this pro-

children Is considered a separate
legislative goal, although II is en-
tirely likely this phase of our pro-
gram may be combined with No. 4

amendment to the Soldier Brides
Act itseif.)
Present laws make no provision
for the admission OF children OF
Soldier Brides Act" marriages
from countries where race Is a
basis for admission to the United
States.
Several tragic cases have grown
out of this situation. For example,
there is the instance of a soldier
in Japan who married a Japanese
national, the mother of a child BY
a previous marriage. The child was
adopted by the soldier but the pre-
sent law will not permit this M
FAINT to accompany his parents to
the United States.
We feel that all children, irres-
pective of race, of Soldier Brides
marriages. whether natural or a.
dopted, should be permitted to
enter the United States for perma-
merit residence.

U. n. Boycott Fails
To Weaken Franco,
Visit 10 Spain Shows
By Leigh White
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor and
the Chicago Daily News

BARCELONA, Spain, Jan. 2l.-
The United Nations boycott has sue.
ceeded only in increasing the misery
of the Spanish people.
1t has utterly failed to weaken the
Franco dictatorship.
Living conditions are far worse
today than in 1945 and the dictator
ship, if anything, is more oppressive.
In making this statement I have
tried to allow for the fact that I
visited Spain the last time soon
after leaving Russia. This time I
have visited Spain at the tail end
Of trip through the Moslem coun-
tries of Africa and Asia.
In 1945 the Franco dictatorship
seemed mild by comparison with
the interlocking relationships of
Stain and his Communist appren-
tees in Eastern Europe. Spanish
living standards, however low, were
high by comparison with living
standards in the Soviet Union. Civil
liberties were noticeably less re-
stricted.
Conditions Worse.
Compared with Spain in 1945,
however, Spain in 1949 is worse.
People were still hoping in 1945 that
the United States, with or without
the United Nations, would be able
to force Franco to abdicate in favor
of a transitional monarchy headed
by Don Juan.
Today there is no hope in any
thing. Don Juan is bad joke and
so is the United Nations. The
United States is equally ridiculous.
Franco, hunger and the black mar
ket are the only enduring reali-
ties.
Four years ago the Fascist Party,
the Falange, was busily pulling in
its horns. People naively expected
certain political freedoms to take
its place.
Today the Falange has been all
but swallowed up in the black mar
ket. The army, however, rather
than new political organizations,
has stepped in to fill the vacuum.
Fewer Political Prisoners.
There are fewer political prisoners
in Spain today than at any time
since the civil war. There are also
fewer opportunities for Francois
subjects to step out of
line. Totalitarianism has begun to
change the Spanish peoples char
acter.
The Franco dictatorship, having
survived the defeat of its German
and Italian allies. is apparently
capable of surviving the United Ma
tions.
It is apparently capable of sur
viving everything but genuine in
ternational cooperation. 1t is cer-
tainly capable of surviving its pres
ent isolation, even though several
million Spaniards starve to death
in the process.
The. possibility of a third world
war is among the least Of FRANCOIS
worries. He and his advisers are
gambling on Spain's indispensability
as a European beachhead to en-
sure their survival through an
American victory over the Soviet
Union.

LAST CALL!

The Caribbean area, with a population of five and one-half
million people, sitting astride the rich midriff of the Western Hem
lsphere' offers an opportunity for enlightened improvement which
is not excened anywhere. 1t presents a challenge and an opportu-
nifty OF extraordinary Importance to this Commission.
A resolution will be laid before you by the United States Sec
ton which expresses in detail our suggestions for a technical as
sistance programme. 1 urge you to give the most earnest considera-
ton to the development for this region of such a programme, which
may be of real value to the Caribbean region as a whole.
1t is the conviction of the United States Commissioners that
tne commission may best serve the area Immediately by survey
ing needs, helping plan definite projects for consideration by Mem
Der Governments, the United Nations and the Specialized Apen-
cls' and other authorities considering such programmes, and,
through its Secretariat by serving as a clearing house for informa-
ton pertaining to programmes being planned or carried out with
in the area by Governments and agencies, and by making available
informed advice.
It also is our recommendation that when NJ other agency i
already established in the region to execute the projects approved,
the organization and experience of the Commission be utilized
promptly to avoid duplication and save time.
AS you are all aware. the Government of the United States
mas expressed the desire to the other three Member Governments
that the four Co-Chairmen, in the name of their respective Govern
ments' should negotiate a brief four-power statement on the recon-
mendatons of the West Indian Conference, Third Session. while
we are here at st. Thomas. 1t is our belief that this four-pewer
statement should have two principle features-D a general state
nent II aims and principles, and . a recital of the actual accom-
pishments of the Commission in implementing the West Indian
Conference recommendations.
We earnestly hope that this negotiation can be carried through
with the spirit of mutual consideration and cooperation which has
characterized SO much of our deliberations. There can be no doubt
that the issuance of the joint statement by the four Member Gov
ernnents VIII constitute an assurance to all peoples of the area Of
me conunung interest and concern of our Governments in the
economic and social advancement of the dependent peoples of the
Caribbean.
I have tried to report progress and to outline a realistic pro
granme Tor concrete accomplishments which lies before this meet-
Ing. You will l am sure, share my enthusiasm for the challenging
opportunity we have this week to push open a little wider the door
leading to cooperation and advancement in the welfare Of the pee.

SPEECH
delivered by
WARD M. CANADAY, United States Co-Chairman
at the opening session of the Ninth Meeting of the
Caribbean Commission in St. Thomas, December $40, l949
We have not yet succeeded in removing the 15% excise tax on
tickets to the Caribbean, but the United States Section has con-
tnued to press this request of the West Indian Conference to the
interested Departments of the United States Government.
Closely related to communications is the vital subject of more
and better transportation. Shipping has improved in some respects
during the past six months, and some improvement in air travel is
recorded, but we have no colated record Of freight tonnage or pas
senger travel by which the progress can be measured.
The possibilities of inter-island shipping as distinguished from
continental-toisland commerce, still languIh-waiting realistic adj
justnent of Caribbean tariffs designed for the benefit of the Carib-
bean area. A suggestion. has been made and warmly welcomed by
the United States Section that the question of tariff reduction be
considered in the near future at the Conference of Customs Off
Gals and statscians recommended by the last session of the West
Indian Conference.
! sincerely hope that it may be possible at this Conference to
discuss trade opportunities and problems in the light of existing
tariff barriers. If this meeting could include men interested in the
practical commercial needs and opportunities OF the region, urgent
ly needed action might be speeded by definite proposals to be con-
sidered by the tax experts of the respective governments. This vital
subject has been under consideration a long time, and positive a-
ton without delay is of the greatest necessity.
In industrial development it is particularly promising to note
the progress that is being made and the energetic help of metropo-
Titan and local governments in many quarters. 1t is gratifying to
note that the territorial governments have sent in to the Secretary
General concrete suggestions for economic development plans in
their territories.
In the field of technical assistance in which the United States
Government has indicated its willingness to be Of active help, lies
far greater hope for the advancement of this region than now can
be visualised.
The Secretary General in his admirable report on a technical
assistance programme has presented an excellent, detailed, and well
doeumented working paper for our study and discussion. We have
only to look about the world to see examples of deserts turned into
gardens, soils made to multiply their yields, and new products
bringing new wealth to the practical application of scientific
knowledge.
Let me mention a few of the obvious opportunities for econo-
mic development which lie at our door.
Those that srr;no +o VOW wind "a 80 80 49,. uo.:...
ton, animal husbandry, fishing, nutrition, soil erosion, water sup
ply, communications, transportation, forestry, tourist development
and industrial development.
The programme can have an almost magical impact on the
welfare and health Of this region. It should be considered and de-
veloped now carefully by Member Goyeznmentments.
