LET'S CLEAN HOUSE FIRST

Recently in United Nations committee ses-
SIGN, Great Britain warned Uncle Sam to lay off
the minorites issue. in the committee The United
States delegation had insisted that representatives
Of the so called oppressed minorities be allowed
to appear before the United Nations Trustee Com
mittee to air their beefs on the treatment they
were receiving at the hands of their parent coun-
tries of which Britain is one - :.
The British further warned that if such de-
mand by the United States continued they would
insist that certain imminent singer who had re-
Gently been in the would be called in to air his
complaints before the committee 1t takes no for
tune teller or clarvoyant to realize that he Was re-
ferrng to Paul Rcbeson. 4F
We are not in accord with that which Mr..
Robson says Or does are in sympathy with
his views per so. However, such a voice crying in
the wilderness continually and constantly is bound
to have effect upon the social political and econ
omc fortunes Of the American Negro. The ever
continuous beat of drum in its initial stages and
din is usually ignored but the constant pounding
will effect the nervous system. We feel that
the noise created by Robson with his rawlings and
rantngs will goad even the southerner into action
to correct Of the evils Of this great democracy
Sooner or later an attempt should be made to dis
credit that which he has been preaching maybe
the appointment of DR.. Bunche as Ambassador to
Russia or perhaps other avenues opened and gains
will be made as result. AS long as Uncle Sam has
a. minority question Of such great magnitude it
would behoove him to keep his mouth shut on such
issues in the U. N. If he wants to talk, then let
him clean house first and fight world wide oppres
sion Perhaps Mr.. Robson should be called before
the committee. Hi 1>.#.1t ~.

LEWIS VUES and
REVUES

Perhaps there will never be a
character who had the nature and
ability of the late Bill Robinson.
Certainly, none with the infectious
smile, pleasing personality and
twinkling feet that were his. The
great city Of New York paid him
a glowing tribute this week in the
process of paying its last respects.
Bill Robinson's name and abil-
ity will become legend. Many of
his habits, traits and idiosynorac-
les have been cited by the Metro
.politan press as well as some tall
tales about him, some which are
true and others, we'll doubtful In
reading the various comments on
and about him, we found two that
were missing that we would like
to pass on to you, one true and
the other doubtful:
When Bojangles began his long
and illustrous career on the streets
Of Washington, there was another
urchin singing for dimes too, All
Jolson. They have remained fast
friends. Robinson owned more
expensive shoes than any other
human past or present. 1t is rum
ored that he kept on hand about
100 pairs. When asked of the
seeming extravaganza, he would
answer, Man | make my living
with my tootsies and they must
have the best" Many Of our-call-
ed intellectuals were not in &C
cord with his seemingly Uncle
Tom ways, but to gain the respect
and prominence he attained in II
years, suchan attitude must be dis
counted The State of Indiana
has proposed to cut a highway
from Chicago through Gary and
blsect the most fashionable resi-
dental district for Negroes. Gov
ernor Schricker met a committee
Of Gary citizens this past week,
led by DR.. Turner and Attorney
Sperling, who protested the move.
The Governor ordered the high
way to be moved further south, SO

Sometimes think that we have reached an

wealth, social position, health love and many othe
things that are necessary sometimes not( for our
very existance' 1:s aAlR
AS whole, the colored race has failed to attain
that most vital Of all detectives, which is respect.
Lack to reach this point which we might say is the
X in the lives of people in the minority of any
nation, is the only base from which the colored
race consolidate their forces to reach the all i'm
portant objective of self help, Independence and
freedom. b. aaa s4H
We are still in the wise ofignorance hatred,
envy bigotry and violence The cry is loud for
leaders to show the way cut of a chaos of oppres-
sion. Our children seeking counsel; for they
know not the path to take. Homes are only hovel
Of vice and sin; that only the bravest Of the brave
will walk.
The strong men are the weakest Of the weak;
who prey upon the Ignorance of trust In our coun-
I'll chambers, where smart men meet, there is the
ever envey Of hatred of accomplishment.
That the RACIAL problem is serious one is
laughable There is racial situation on this con-
tnent 1t is, indeed principle of respect for man
and his brother. And as for human rights-make
the most Of it you can. \.

what makes the outer leaves of

If the plant is in an ordinary clay

in the composition of the pot that
causes this, I have read. If the

Also get recipes using yeast-yes,
even for cakes and puddipgs.
