On Civil Rights

Sen. Humphrey was among the

dressed a public meeting to sup
port national FEPC legislation at
the Henry Hudson hotel, Tuesday

ed by the Metropolitan Divisions

committee, Jewish War Veterans
and the NAACP.
Shad Jolier, national Vce-presi-

Isidor Teitelbaum, president of
the Bronx division of the congress,
chaired the meeting.

risking his political career to
bring the issue of civil rights to
the people" Senator Humphrey
added, President Truman has
plainly and truly. shown that he
would rather be right than be

Sen. Humphrey charged that "the
people of the world have been be-
trayed by the "sell-out" Of human
rights known as the Wherry
compromise which changed the
rules of the us. Senate on the
matter of curbing a fiibuster."
Sen. Humphrey blamed 1.-THE Re-
pubIican-Dixiecrat coalition" for
passing the Wherry resolution re-
quiring a two-thirds Senate vote
to stop a filibuster.
Sen Humphrey warned that
those in Congress who block the
civil rights program will soon
realize that they face the wrath
of the American people at the
polls. He added:

stand up against the anti-demo-
cratic forces within America than
it does to vote the peoples money

Meanwhile, anti-Brtish, anti
Italian feeling Is rising In East
Africa. Gerville Drew, chief ad-
ministrator Of Eritrea has an
nounced that mobility and striking
power Of the police will be in
creased with additional vehicles
and radio equipment.
This announcement was hard to
stomach in pro-Ethiopian circles
throughout the world. Only few
years ago the Fascists were doing
on a much larger scale what the
British and their new allies" the
Italians, plan to do against the
Thomas Jeffersons, Crispus At
tuckses, and George Washingtons
of East. Africa.
Facts surrounding this interna-
tional powder keg lead to two I'M
improbable conclusions: Great
Britain, the United States and
France have overridden Ethiopia's
desire for security, while Italy-a
very recent enemy-has been
given the greenlight.
Along with the announcement
from Geneva comes this weak ex-

Apparently, Fletcher-Cooke is
under the illusion that Ethiopia
and her sympathizers are threats
to the peace" although he does
not say so specifically. However.
it is believed that there Is a 5000
man British police force in the
territory. Recently two battalions
were sent to stamp out an upris-
ing near the Ethiopian border.

MORE NEGRO OFFICERS
TO US. FOREIGN SERVICE

Monrovia, Liberia - (ANP) -
The arrival Of William Garland
Richardson, white career officer Of
the U. S. State department, to be-
come the first secretary of the U.
S. Embassy in Liberia, is another
step toward the program of in
tegrating Negro foreign service
officers into new areas of the dip
lomatic service of the United
States.
The first step was the appoint
ment some six months ago of Ru-
pert Lloyd, former first secretary
here at Monrovia, as secretary in
the embassy at Paris, France.
Lloyd, a native of Washington, D.
c., has had a steady rise in the
diplomatic service.

BY Charles Logan

Geneva, Switzerland (ANP) -
A decision was made on the inter-
national scene here Thursday that
many informed Negroes through
out the world will not relish.
Representatives of the United
States Joined Great Britain and
France in supporting Italys right
10 establish military bases across
the border from Ethiopia. These
Italian military establishments
will be built in the same colony,
the Somaliland, from which Italy
launched its fiendish attack on
Ethiopia in the initial stages Of
World War II. Many foreign OBJ
servers believe that this move
will lead to trouble of unforeseen
proportions.
Several weeks ago, Italy was
granted the right TO administer
the Somaliland, her prewar colony
in East Africa, as acting UN
trustee for 10 years. This was
granted over vigorous Ethiopian
protest. Ethiopia viewed this
move as a violation Of the UN
charter and the Italian peace
treaty. The Ethiopian note re-
minded the UN that under the
peace treaty, Italy renounced all
claims to its former colonies.
Furthermore, Ethiopia declared,
the granting of a trusteeship to a
country that is not a member of
the UN violates the UN charter.
Last week Italy added fuel to
the smoldering embers by re-
questing establishment of military,
naval and air installations in
Somaliland. At the same time in
London, It was announced that
British warships and troops have
been pouring into the East African
colony of Eritrea, another pre-
war Italian possession. British
army reinforcements have been
rushed 10 the colony in consider
able numbers for several months,

permanent.
Nevertheless, the outcome of the
election win have a far-reaching
effect upon the lives and fortunes
Of some 10000 Negroes living in
British colonies in Africa, the
West Indies, and in South and
Central America. The Negroes in
these colonies now represent over
so percent Of all the peoples in the
British colonial empire.
Both the Conservative and La
Dor Parties agree on two things.
The colonies must be held and de-
veloped industrially to enable
Great Britain to maintain her
standard of living and her posi-
ton as a world power.
In ordeE to realize these advant-
ages bothNparties also agree that
social, political. and economic
conditions in the colonies must be
vastly improved and in a COMPARE
lively short time. This must be
done not only to develop the
wealth of the colonies, particularly
in Africa. II must be done TO
check the growing menace Of
Communism in practically all
British colonies.
The Conservative and Labor
parties differ strongly over mea-
sures to develop these Negro lands
and at the same time keep them
politically loyal TO the British en-
pire. The way this problem Is dealt
with by the all-powerful British
colonial office actually win in

DETERMINATION
By William Henry Huff

Move on and up in spite Of odds
And you will reach the top
Where you'n be greeted by the
gods
Not so If you should stop.
Blast out the rocks and fell the
trees
And beat yourself a path;
A mind like steel will level these
And seal the aftermath.

BY George Francis McCray

New York - The results of the British elections Feb

Churchs Conservatives Neither they for any of the
other parties and 1900 candidates for the British

for leadership on matters concern
ing colonial development. They
also follow the lead of the British
in opposing certain policies of the
u. N. Trusteeship council designed
TO speed economic and political
progress in colonial areas.
Spokesman for the Labor and
Conservative parties have repeat
eddy declared that neither politi-
cal independence nor internal self
government win be granted to a
colony before social and economic
conditions are raised TO a level
high enough TO support a truly
West Indian territories largely in
the hands Of private individuals.
In reality this means perpetuating
the strange hold which private
business men and combines in the
British Isles have upon Negro
lands within the empire. Negro
leaders in Nigeria, the Gold Coast,
Kenya, and the West Indies, to
mention a few areas, fear this pol
icy will not only prevent the rise
OF native business classes, but
would settle among them a ruling
class Of Europeans as now ex-
lists in Kenya and the Rhodesias.
Achievements Impressive
Both the Labor and Conserva-
tive parties have voted for meas
sures running into millions of
dollars to finance health services,
develop agriculture, build roads,
irrigation projects, schools, col
leges, and similar projects. Prac-
tically all of the colonies have inn
pressive 10-year development
plans which are being financed by
democratic and progressive gov
eminent.
Az this point the major British
parties differ sharply. Winston
Churchill wants the British
government to leave the economic
development Of its African and
contributions from the British and
colonial treasures. Though the re-
suits Of these ambitious plans are
small in relation to the stagger-
ing ignorance, and poverty found
in Africa and the west Indies,
their achievements alone are quite
impressive.
The Labor party under Prime
Minister Attlee distrusts private
industry In the colonies and Is
cool TO white settlement in Africa.
1t has considered plans for trans
ferring tens of thousands of Ne
groes from the over-crowded
West Indian islands to the unset
tied lands Of British Guina in
South America and to British
Honduras In Central America.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1950-02-17
British Government Invests
Heavily

The British government under
Attlee is investing heavily in in
dustrial projects in Africa. II has
established cooperative societies
with Negro representation along
the line to market West African
cocoa, oil, and other farm pro-
ducts. 1t is turning the Cambria
into a vast chicken plantation. 1t
guarantees prices to farmers and
encourages the growth of trade
unions and cooperative societies.
The most ambitious project for
colonial economic development is
the East African peanut scheme.
As originally planned, the scheme,
at a cost Of 100 million dollars,
provided for the clearing of three
million acres of land in East
Africa. This vast area would re-
quffe the services of hundreds of
European skilled workers and
thousands of Africans. The whole
project was to send tons of peanut
oil to the British Isles to be made
into margarine. In their attacks
on the Labor party management
Of the project the Conservatives
are saying the $lO0,00O,oO0 are
gone and only a few hundred bar
rela OF oil have arrived in Great
Britain.
The most telling criticism Of
the way the peanut scheme was
in West Africa. While the Attlee
government was pouring millions
IN men and equipment into East
Africa and getting nothing but
headaches for their troubles, tens
OF thousands Of peanuts, raised by
Negro farmers in Nigeria, were
rottening on the ground for lack
of railroad capacity to haul them
TO market.
