Jamaicans Resent
Britain's Colonial
Policy

KINGSTON, Jamaica lamp
- Jamaicans are not anti-Brit-
ish. But they are tough against
Britain's old Imperial Policy
which tends to treat colonials as
hogs in a crawl.
Last week the islanders were
embroiled over reports that
Downing Street had signed a
"black pact" with Cuba to take
the republics production of sugar
tobacco and grapefruit over a
period of three years. In essence,
this means guaranteed market
for at least half a million tons of
sugar.
The agreement will cripple
Jamaica's economic efforts. AL
ready the islands cigar industry
is struggling as result of a re-
duction from $2O,OOO,000 in 1947
to 100000 in cigar market at
the present time. Last year, ia
maica had to fight a six-month
war with the Britain Ministry of
Food before she could get a con-
tract for this years production of
sugar.
So Britain's Colonial Policy
keeps kicking colonials in the
pants. Day after day, the econ
omy of Jamaica dips lower. This
week, in crowded Kingston three
war veterans (ex-Servicemen)
who had not eaten for "a hours,
trekked the streets seeking bread.
One sold his war medal for q
cents so as to ease hunger pains
in his stomach.
Another named Allan Dunbar
who served in both world wars,
was written up on the country'S
pauper roll to receive 81 cents
per week, while his three children
will share one dollar weekly.

D. Roosevelt.
The award to the American,
who received an overwhelming

honor, was made on the sixth an
niversary of the death of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The director of the UN trustee
ship division emphasized that the
enacting of the freedoms, rather
than mere belief in them, is i'm
portant to America.
"It may be questioned" he
stated, whether we as indivi-
duals have learned well enough
how to use freedom responsibly.
In the political area, in the press
and on the platform, and even at
times in the ranks of the military
there is not infrequently seeming
responsibility and abuse in the

our American heritage"

Dawson Speech Inspires House To
Vote Down JimcroW In Draft Bill

Washington - CAMP - Rep.
William L. Dawson of Illinois,
giving his most dramatic address
during this session of congress,
last week inspired fellow con-
greSSmen to vote down a jimcrow
provision in a proposed univer-
sal military training bill.
Rep. Dawson, one of only two
Negroes in congress, posed these
questions before his colleagues
"How long, how long, my con-
fereeS and gentlemen from the
South will you divide us Ameri-
cans or account of color? Why will
this body go on record to brand
this section of citizens second
Glass;"
When Cong. Dawson finished
his speech, even members from
the south applauded. Later, the
house voted 178 to 1875 to throw
out t he segregation section of
the proposal.
Introduced by Rep. Barden of
North Carolina, this provision
would have given white inductees
the privilege of saying whether or
not they preferred to join an all
White unit. 1t is an idea that has
been proposed several times by
southerners.
Here is what Rep. Dawson said
in part:
"Give me the test that you
would apply to make anyone a
full-fledged American and by the
living God, if it means death it
self, I will pay it - but give it
to me-"
Pointing to a scar on his fore
head, Dawson cited his own cour-
age to volunteer for World War
! although he was too old to be
drafted. He exclaimed:
"ThiS mark you see here on
my forehead is the result of
German mustard gas and this
left shoulder of mine is today a
slip joint.
"That would have been a good
joint, if had not been good
American Negro, / served in a
segregated outfit as a citizen try
ing to save this country.
II would give up this life of
mine to preserve this country and
every American in it, White or
Black.
Deny to me, if you will, all
that American citizenship stands
for. l will still fight for you, hop
ing that under the constitution
of the United States all these re-
StrictionS will be removed and
that we will move before the
world as one people, American
people, joined in a democracy to-
ward all the world.
God didn't curse me when He
made me black any more than He
cursed you when he made you
White.
II say to you who claim to love
America in this hour of its stress
that the greatest argument the
Soviet Union is using among the
Black peoples of the world to turn
them against us is your treatment
of me, me an American citizen.
II believe that the south is big
enough for all of us to live in to-
gether in peace and happiness If
we can but have understanding"

Sacred music at it's best was
heard in Constitution Hall last
night, presented by the famed St.
Olaf Choir of Minnesota. The
concert was sponsored by the Ma
tional Lutheran Chorus and forms
a part of the Lutheran Choral
series.
Choral singing, as beautiful as
given yesterday. is not a usual oc-
curence. Olaf c. Christensen, the
director, must have some magic
method to place voices and to
bring them under such fine con-
troll. Such purity of tone and per-
lection of enunciation have not
been surpassed by any group heard
here. His organization is a noble
instrument with unlimited poten-
tialities for tonal effects, one that
responds with the greatest ease
and naturalness to the bidding of
its conductor. The words of the
texts. whether Latin. German or
English, were as clear as the tone
that sustained them.
Pedestrians "Hodie Christus
Natus Est" for double choir, and
de Victoria's delicate 20 Magnus
Mysterium" served as an intro
duction. AS the program prog
ressed, the loneliness of the So
pranos and of the ensemble was
