Thouqht on Disorminq

On March 3 q letter signed
Louis. was singularly confus-
ing. Outside of reproposing
some old and familiar slogans
of the U.N. on disarmment,
Louis" fails to add any con-
structive suggestions to ease
world tensions. He states that
by correcting all of the in
justices in the world" a new
era would be attained and the
historical principle that all
men are created equal" would
be achieved.
In the first place, If all the
injustices in the world were
corrected, we would not be
men. but angels. To believe
that by disarmament alone,
men will be converted to
angels is foolishness; to believe
that this can be accomplished
by q group Of diplomats in
New York is to place faith in
weak straws indeed.
In his reference to the "his-
torical principle" that all men
are created equal. let me draw
"Louis's" attention to the fact
that it was only recently. in
the Declaration Of Independ-
ence, that this principle was
voiced by a nation for all the
world to hear. Since then,
though other nations have
stated the same principle. it
has been practiced in fact only
by the United States.
Since international dealings
between nations are only out
ward manifestations Of the
national sense Of justice or in
justice, I submit that Louis"
is putting the cart before the
horse. Disarmament will occur
only after each nation is will
ing to administer justice to its
own people. If justice can be
secured in the individual coun-
tries of the world. 1t cannot
fail to be standard in inter-
national relations.

4 persistent crow refused to
be buffaloed by the morning
traffic rush.
He flew down into the mid
die of busy Connecticut avenue
after a bit of food he spied
there.
A hundred cars came at him
with a hum and roar. but he
took his time about flying up.
A friend of birds-guess who
stood and watched with
heart in mouth.
A squashed crow is not a
pretty sight.
The big black fellow. how
ever, had no idea OF being
killed.
He took off just in time. and
flew to the stone wall along
the east boundary of the Chevy
Chase Club grounds.
X + X X
"Well, he is out of that" "
said the friend Of birds, with
a sigh Of relief.
He spoke too soon.
The crow didn't give up so
easily. He went right back to
the middle of the avenue. and,
since he arrived there on the
red light at Bradley lane, he
had a few seconds to himself.
No sooner had he started to
eat, than the light went green,
and here came the cars again.
Once more the crow took his
time about it. Not for him the
precipitate retreat Of smaller
birds.
A big, bad crow was not to
be hurried, evidently.
X r X X
Again he took off. with a
flop Of his big wings, just in
the famous nick of time.
Perching on the wall, he
gave three loud caws.
There seemed to be some
thing almost human in the
indignant way he perched
there, slightly Topping his
wings, as if eager to try it
again.
The persistent creature
simply wouldn't give up.
The lure of food, on a fine
frosty morning. with the sun
shining red, was just too much
for a hungry crow.
Again he tried it, and again
the cars came at him with
vengeance in their eyes.
Once more he lazily few up
out Of the way.

Soaking of Club

The recent dismissal of Gen.
Club and his British military
assistants by the government
of Jordan is causing deep con-
Germ to the West, and no doubt
appropriate measures are now
being discussed by the West
ern powers to fill up this new
gap in the Middle Eastern
defenses against communism.
AS democratic political de-
cisions and actions are essen
TALLY on long-term basis,
we should also look into the
problem for the fundamental
cause and not just at the
resultant act itself, no mat
ter how badly executed and
timed it may be. After all, we
have not been informed of
the diplomatic steps, if any,
that Jordan may have taken
with the British government
before the actual removal of
the British officers.
There are, however. some
plain facts which we all
know, and in their light the
Jordan action should not be a
surprise but a natural develop
ment of the political evolution
of that country during recent
years. Present-day Jordan in
corporates a large section Of
Palestinian Arabs, which has
greatly changed its political
characteristics. It is no longer
the Trans-Jordan of the
twenties with a large section of
the population made up of
seminomadic tribes and headed
by the friendly Emir Abdul
lah, surrounded by the rem
nant officers of the Arab army
which was the outcome of the
Arab revolt against the Otto
man empire during World War
I and which depended almost
entirely on the good will and
generosity of the British gov
eminent.
The formation of the Arab
Legion in those early days and
its subsequent training and
leadership under Gen. Club
was a splendid stabilizing force
that was used with restraint
and British wisdom. But it
only filled a transition period
which should have ended
with the growth of Jordan
as an independent country,
politically conscious. and de-
sirous to play its part among
its Arab sister nations on an
equal status. The Arab Legion,
which was the boast of Trans
Jordan, became a humiliating
factor because its national
army was under the command
Of a foreigner.
1t is surprising that the
British government did not
realize the change rapidly
taking place in Jordan, espe-
cially with the assassination
of King Abdullah, which was,
so to speak, the writing on the
wall. Gen. Club and his as
sistants should have been
withdrawn from the Arab
Legion and employed by the
government of Jordan purely
as technical consultants, thus
preserving the good relations
between Britain and Jordan.
At the same time. the name
of the Arab Legion should
have been changed to Jordan
army. These steps would have
satisfied the self-esteem of
modern Jordan for the time
being.
No one with knowledge of
the splendid efficiency of the
Arab Legion and its past
achievements can have but
the highest admiration for
Gen. Club, and it is to be
deeply deplored that he should
suffer the inevitable con-
sequences of a rapidly de-
veloping political situation
which renders the position of
a Britisher at the head of the
Jordan army incompatible
with its independence.

purpose the bringing together of

greater financial credit, and a
larger share of the money spent
for the services of goods offered

from the subject, what the pro-

growth and expansion of Negro

his remarks, DR.. Britton pointed
out the need for Negro business
men in all areas to gear themselves
to meet the demands of the highly
competitive field, and asserted that
the Negro professional man can
aid the growth and expansion OF
Negro business by offering some

business men as investments in
