INSIDE LIBERIA:
BY Claude A. Barnett

MONROVIA, Liberia A quick
glance will show certain opport-
unities. Liberia is facing import
ant development. 1t needs engin-
GERS and builders, skilled con-
tractors, and brick or stone mas
ons who really know construction.
Right now a Liberian delega-
ton is in Washington seeking a
loan for the nations five year
plan. Liberia wants to build a by
dro-electric plant to provide and
light for large areas of the nation
and the new industries it expects
to materialize.
This nation wants to build roads
instead of trails to tap the rich
interior. Bridges are needed to
cross the rivers and replace the
ingenious hanging vine contrap-
tons or canoe ferries now used
in many places.
For these improvements Liberia
needs electricians, plumbers, and
other craftsmen. The previously
mentioned Booker Washington in
stitute will supply a number of
these men in future years, but
there r. plenty Of opportunities
for American Negroes before then.
Monrovia needs a dry cleaning
plant. This is a hot country.
People must change clothes often.
A modern installation with the la
test machinery should be profit

1t is no longer to be doubted
that Negroes in this country are
getting mighty fine breaks nova

for Negroes. Negroes are today en-

Last summer the writer was re-
turning from St. Louis and hap
pened to run into a group Of
white youngsters riding the same

were returning from some camp,
under the direction of who SEEM

surprised and proceeded to tell
what to all intents and purposes
were "darky stories''.

paid only casual attention to all
they we're saying. But Negroes
have been trained to be sensitive
to such situations and it is easy to
fathom a conversation that has
the Negro as it's chief topic.
Some years ago while travelling
abroad with a kinsman, DR.. Stuart,
of Columbia, South Carolina, I
found him especially sensitive to
the word "Schwartzie" in German
which means black man. 1t mat

LONDON (ANP)- The cere-

the house warming of the mother

the King and the two men were

Mr.. Harryshow told the King that
at the time he was scheduled to

replied that nothing would have

come from. He stressed the vital
and urgent need for a club house

japanese Communists
Confess Errors Cited
By Cominform Journal
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Jan. 20.-Japan's Com
munists today shed their cloak of
defiance and bowed low to their
critics in the Cominform and
Russia.
Their Central Committee issued
a statement admitting errors as
charged by the Cominform Jour-
nal of Bucharest January Z. That
organ of international Communism
had blasted away at Red Leader
Sanzo NoZaka.
Nozaka likewise admitted error.
He was not disciplined. A spokes-
man said he keeps his party men,
bershlp and office. He is a men,
Der of both the powerful japanese
Politburo and the Central Com
mittee.
Red leaders in other lands have
disappeared in a hurry after be-
ing charged with the deviations
OF which Nozaka was accused.
Held Serving Occupiers.
The Cominform charged Nozaka
was "anti-democratic and anti
socialistic." It accused him of
serving "the imperialist occupiers
Of Japan" by insisting Japan could
go socialist under the occupation.
Pravda, the official Communist
newspaper in Moscow, called No
zaka "anti-patriotic and anti
japanese"
At first Nozaka and the Polit-
buro struck back. The party
kicked out four members who
sided with the Cominform. Polit-
buro spokesman Ritsu Ito last
week issued a statement saying
the Cominform's conclusion was
unacceptable"
Far from being "anti-Japanese,"
Nozak was hailed by the polit-
buro as "the boldest patriot of
the people"
Then ousted party members
promised fight. Criticism arose
IN some left-wing labor quarters.
China's Communists broadcast
that the Cominform was right. It
urged Japan's Communists to
mend their ways.
Holds Two-Day Session.
Japan's Communist Central
Committee thereupon assembled.
For the past two days it has been
in soul-Searching session.
Today correspondents were sum-
moned to the distribution shack
Of the party's newspaper, Red
Flag. This time Ito handed them
statement which said in part:
THE Central Committee has
unanimously agreed with regard
70 the positive significance of the
information bureau article. We
therefore will make endeavors in
the future not to repeat mistakes
OF this sort and to live up to
the expectations of the inerna-
tional proletariat."
Ito also said that Nozaka had
voluntarily criticized himself
before the Central Committee.
