Racial Discrimination

several persons asked me recently
when I was circulating petition
to cemetery owners to stop their
racial discrimination
Presumably it makes no differ
ence to those who lie in the ceme-
teries.
But to our minority groups it
is one of the factors involved in
acceptance or rejection. Now, if
we supposedly democratic Christ
ian Americans are not willing to
make the members of these groups
feel that they are welcomed and
appreciated. who will? Who. in

So, unless we want to make it
possible for our minorities to be-
come happy hunting grounds for
Communist organizers, we had bet
ter lose no time in giving them a
square deal.
Nor should we overlook the fact
that Russia is using our racism as
a very effective weapon against
us in all of the non-white world.

senators who filibuster against

Oklahoma Negroes
Hove Thriving
Conudiur1 Colony

ATHABASCA. ALB RITA,
CANADA - CAMP - A small
group of Negroes, who fled their
Oklahoma homes in 1910 as refu-
gees from racial discrimination,
has established a Furnishing com
munity in this northern fringe of
Alberta's rolling farm country.
They have carved settlement out
of what was once a wilderness.
The original group built thei,
homes in the heavily wooded val
leys that wind in and out of the
Athabasca area. The community
now numbers 400 and gives EVIL
dence of its prosperity through the
waving heads of wheat in the
fields.
Each farmer owns about q
quarter section, though some
have their own schools and
churches and even a home for
the aged. Most Of them are
MethOdists.
And discrimination" Is a for
gotten word around here. I'VE dom

If this country should become involved in
hostilites with Soviet Russia, THE COMMUN-
IST PARTY WOULD COMMIT OVERT
TREASON.
The party itself has served public notice
of its intention
In statement issued by its two highest
officials, the party extols the Soviet Union
and its Red satellites as "democracies'; de-
nouncss Americas defense program and its
peace-seeking diplomacy as 'WAR-MONGER-
ING;'' and signifies that, in the event of war,
even though the war be provoked or started by
Russia itself
I'VE WOULD OPPOSE 1T AS AN UN-
JUST, AGGRESSIVE, IMPERIALIST WAR,
AS AN UNDEMOCRATIC AND ANTI
SOCIALIST WAR
$50 WOULD WE COMMUNISTS CO.
OPERATE WITH ALL DEMOCRATIC
FORCES TO DEFEAT THE PREDATORY
WAR AIMS OF AMERICAN IMPERIAL
ISM"
The statement, of course, makes the usual
Communist use of such words as peace and
!" democracy" for camouflage only
Beneath the hypocrisy, however, the REAL
MEANING is unmistakable--the Communist
Party is the enemy not only of AMERICAN
INSTITUTIONS but of AMERICA ITSELF
And double meaning is given to the pro-
Soviet manifesto by the fact that the signers
of the proclamation William a. Foster, ma
tiona chairman of the party, and Eugene

AMSTERDAM, THE NEITHER
LANDS = (ANP) "A free" In
donesia came into being here when
Queen Juliana of the Netherlands
signed documents transferring SOW.
ereignty over the country to its
n ,000,0 inhabitants.
At q moment when the bells
stopped the place rang out Free
Indonesia." the anthem of the New
United States of Indonesia, the
flag of the Netherlands was low
cred and a new banner of Indonesia
raised in the rich islands of the
Indonesian archipelago.
The documentary evidence of the
new nations birth was handed to
DIR. Mohammed Hatta, prime min
lister of the country. The document
read:
1.-THE Kingdom Of the Neither
lands Internationally and ire
vocably transfers complete SOW
ereignty over Indonesia 10 the
republic of the United States Of
Indonesia and thereby recognizes
said republic as an indepen-
dent and sovereign state"
This signed document means
that control over the rich islands
extending an eighth of the way
around the world, with rubber, tin
and agricultural products of SUI
matra, Java and the thousands OF
smaller islands-is no longer exer-
cised over by the Netherlands. The
only tie which the two nations
have is represented by the Charter
of Union-little more than an ex-
preston of hope that the two coun-
tries will cooperate.

Stanley F. Atwood. district cen
sus supervisor. viii be ready to
receive applications for 476 jobs as
Seattle enumerators Tuesday. he
announced.
On the basis OF the numerous
telephone and mail inquiries al
ready. received. Atwood expects
big rush of business on that
day, with perhaps 1000 appli-
canfs.
Applicants must appear in per-
son.
Atwood's district includes only
the city of Seattle. Southern King
County will be handled from a Ia
coma office, the northern part of
the county from Everett.

start work April 1. They will be
on the job from two to four weeks.

basis and may expect to earn from
IS to $40 a day, Atwood believes.
But before any enumerators are
chosen they must pass a written
examination and then undergo a
course of instruction, the latter
scheduled for the week before they
take to the field.
Requirements of the Census
Bureau are that enumerators must
be citizens of the United States
and should have high school edu-
cation or its equivalent. Age limits
are 81 to So.
Physical Requirements
Atwood said these limits may
be relaxed, in some cases. But
an enumeration must be in good
health and able to climb hills and
stairs. where it is necessary.
Prime requisites, Atwood said,
are ability to follow the rather
complex Census Bureau instruc-
tons, get information and report
1t accurately--and legibly.
Atwood, already on the job,
will have Ray Olsen as an assist
ant beginning next week. Olsen
held the same position ten years
ago when Joseph p. Adams was
district census supervisor.
