    The Way Out !
NEWS FROM TOKIO
By Loren Miller
(Special to Crusader News
Agency)
It's an ill wind that blows no
body good and the Italo-Ethiop
ian trouble has proved a boon to
the Japanese militarists. For
one thing, it has served to de
tract attention from Japanese
banditry current in China- More
than that, it has provided the
leaders of this robbery with an
opportunity t opose as friends of
the darker people the world over.
Dispatches from Tokio bring
the news that the Japanese man,
Mitsui, has refused to fulfill an
Italian order for 100,000 pairs of
shoes. The inference is left that
the order was refused out of
friendliness for the Ethiopians.
I cannot question the submis
sion of the order nor the refusal
to fill it. Any sensible merchant
Japanese or American, must be a
little skittish about dealing with
Mussolini in view of the well
known financial weakness of the
country. It happens that the Mit
sui firm is one of the largest in
Japan and noted for its ability to
cut wages at the slightest provo
cation. Reliable reports show
that workers in Mitsui factories
are pretty badly paid.
Nice Friendly People
Just why the myth persists
that the Japanese overlords are
friends of dark people, 1 am not
prepared to say. The facts are
al lagainst the theory. Korea has
been under Japanese domination
for many years and despite the
dark color of the Koreans’ skin
they have been done up pretty
badly ever since they fell under
the Mikado. The more recent
plundering of Crina is, or ought
to be, fresh in everybody’s mind.
It is quite true that Japan has
no African colonies, a lapse to be
explained only by 4he fact that
Nippon came on the scene too
late to get in on the plundering of
the dark continent. There is cer
tainly nothing to indicate that
the Africans would have feared
any better under Japanese rule
than have the Koreans. After all,
the Japanese merchants want col
onies for the same reason that the
English do; to exploit them and
make money out of the process.
Crafty Game.
The Japanese militarists have
everything to gain by playing for
public sympathy and gesturing
toward Ethiopia. A showdown
is coming in Asia and European
money makers are none too
pleased by the fact that the Jap
anese are gobbling up Asiatic
markets. Japan is going to need
sympathy in the effort to retain
the plunder she has collected and
what better way to get it t h a n
by enlisting the sympathy of col
ored folk the worldover?
Ethiopia needs all of the sym
pathy she can get in her defense
against Musolini’s designs and if
she gets even a weak support out
of Japan because of conflicting
ribalries, that is so much to the
good. The danger lies in the fact
that Negroes may believe that
they can rest their case in the
hands of Japan’s rulers.
Honor Among Thieves.
The thing to keep in mind is
that support of the kin dsecured
from the Mitsui firm is unstable.
If Musolini and Mitsui can get to
gether and do a little horse trad
ing, the support will vanish as
quickly a sit appeared. After all,
there is a certain code among
thieves that far outranks any
thing else.
Beal Sympathy for and will
ingness to aid Ethiopia must
come from people who under
stand the real issue at stake. That
issue is the right of small nations
to preserve and protect their in
dependence against the designs
of imperialists, whether they are
American, Italian or Japanese.
Among that number are many
individual Japanese, just as many
of them are Italians or Negroes
or Englishmen. Nothing could be
more disastrous in the long run
than turning the Italo-Ethiopia
conflict into a clash of color. Ex
ploiters care nothing for the color
line
City College Students
Fight Discrimination
New York, (CNA)—The tradi
tion which has barred Negroes
from clerical or etucational posi
tions in the ivy-covered towers of
City College was challenged this
week by a militant undergradu
ate body, the Summer Forum.
The campus, which embraces
students of varying shades of po
litical and social opinion, has de
termined to conduct a relentless
campaign for the immediate ap
pointment of eligible Negro
candidates to the College faculty
and office staff.
Ministers Endorse Fight.
A provisional Committee
' • . •
Against Practices has been initi
ated by the Forum to involve the
broadest strata of sympathizers
into active participation in the
J campaign. Rev. Brown of the
Mother Zion M. E. church, Mr.
^Shomberg, director of 136th
street Public Library and Rev
William Lloyd Imes of the St.
James Presbyterian church have
pledged support.
At two other municipal-owned
colleges, Hunter and Brooklyn
similar anti-jimcrow movements
have been launched by the Na
tional Student League Chapters.
The City College group urges
Negroes desiring faculty posi
tions to apply immediately for op
pointment. Persons holding a
Bachellor's degree may apply for
tutor's position. The Doctor's
degree is perrequisite for instruc
torship and professorship.
Jim-Crow Practices.
Authoritative spokesman state
that a Negro has never worked in
the Recorder’s office, has never
been permitted to register stu
dents and has never been hired
for clerical work in the Mursar’s
office in the Curator’s depart
ment.
During the summer time, vars
ity men are given jobs as ushers
at the concerts held in the college
stadium. When Negroes apply,
they are bluntly informed of the
Jim-Crow policy.
The recent harrowing experi
ences of Welford Wilson, track
team star, at the Penn relays,
brought the problem of discrim
ination to the fore. Wilson had
been refused accomodations at
[the hotel where his white fellow
team-mates stayed.
Resolutions o f protest against
the anti-Negro policy of the col
lege administration and applica
for instructoral and clerical posi
tions should be mailed to The
j Provisional Committee Against
i Discriminatory Practices.
Delegation Demands
State Department Act
On Behalf of Ethiopia
Washington, I). C., (CNA)—
A delegation of New York pro
fessionals and workers, headed
by Mary Johnson of the League
of Struggle for Negro Ringhts
and Allyne of the Proivisional
Committee for the Defense of
Ethiopia, visited the Italian Em
bassy and the Department of
State to protest against Musso
lini’s plan to plunder and enslave
Ethiopia.
A blanket demand of “Hands
Off Ethiopia’ ’was laid before
the Italian Ambassador for trans
mission of the arch-dictator, Ben
ito Mussolini. Expulsion of the
Italian fascist propagandists and
the enforcement of the Kellog
Briand Pact and the Johnson Act
were the principal demands of
the delegation from Secretary of
State Hull.
The “‘poet” Pirandello and the
Italian exchange students in the
American universities would fall
into the category of “fascist
propagandaists.” These elements
have intensified their vicious
campaign of justification of Mus
solini’s robber war in Ethiopia.
Under the Kellog-Briand pact,
Italy supposedly renounced “war
as an instrument of national
policy” and promised to submit
all her disputes with foreign
countries to arbitration. The
United States government, as one
of the pact’s signatories, can ap
ply pressure on Mussolini to up
hold his promise.
The Johnson Act bars all de
faulting nations from floating
loans in the United States or its
possessions. Rigid enforcement
would prevent Italian fascism
from raising money here to carry
out its war plans in East Africa^
Fight Anti-Negro
School Books
In Boston
Boston, Mass., (CNA)—A
paign to eliminate anti-Negro
school books from the city educa
tional system has been initiated
here by the Provisional Commit
tee for Equal Opportunities and
the Parent-Teacher Association of
the South End.
A delegation will visit the Bos
ton School Committee to demand
immediate action. The fight will
center around the chief offender,
|a novel by Rudyard Kipling,
1 called “Captain Courageous.”
In this book, the word “nigger”
appeal's no less than 13 times.
The appointment of a mini
mum of four physicians in the
icity schools will be demanded by
the Sub-Committee and Hospital
ization. It reported at the last
meeting of its parent body, Com
mittee for Equal Opportunities,
that this need is particularly felt
in schools where 90% of the pu
pils are Negroes.
Many families in the South
(Negro) end are in dire want o'f
milk and clothing, the Economic
and Social Survey Sub-Commit
tee stated. An effort will be made
by the parents in the district, as
sisted by the Sub-Committee, to
secure free distribution of these
necessities of life from the city
relief administration
Levinsky Quit, But
Only After He
Had Been Beaten
Chicago, Aug. 14, (ANP)—
Add to the Winter League argu
ments the question: “Did King
Levinsky quit in his fight with
Joe Louis or did he not quit?”
Shortly after the fight was
over, Levinsky was asked in his
dresing room if he had quit, if he
had asked the referee, Norm
McGarrity, to stop the combat.
The King said he might have said
something, but he did not say
that.
Sports writers close to the cor
ner where Levinsky sat on t h e
ropes said they heard the King
ask the referee to take Louis
away.
Referee McGarrity informed
members of the Boxing Commis
sion that Levinsky had said:
“Don’t let him hit me no more.
I am through.’ ’
The Kingfish said: “That
first solid one he landed w a s a
left hook to the head. It hurt
like hell. 1 gues 1 just wasn’t
much good from then on. At the
end there 1 took a left hook, then
a right hand. 1 was dazed all
right, but I didn’t tell the referee
to stop the fight.’ ’
However, later in the day, the
Kingfish wasn’t so sure what his
mumbled words were. Eddie
Geiger, sports editor of The
American says: “1 talked to him
24 hours after his knockout by
Louis. I wanted to learn his
version of how it happened. He
told me that after the right to
told me tliat after the right to
the jaw that dropped him the
first time ,he remembered 1% tie
He said he doesn’t remember be
ing down the other three times,
doesn’t remember sitting on t h e
ropes and that his mind is a
blank so far as his conversation
with the referee is concerned.
Says Louis Could Whip
Baer, Braddock,
Schmeling; Same Ring
Chicago, Aug. 14, (ANP)—“I
am often wrong and I have never
bet a dollar on a prize fight in my
life,’ writes Bill Corum, ace
sports commentator for the
Heart nsewspaper in the Chicagf
American. “But I would be will
ing to bet my own money that if
Joe Louis had to, he could beat
Braddock, Baer and Schmeling in
the same night to win the heavy
weight championship. ’ ’

Lasky Still Wants Louis
Chicago, Aug .14, (ANP —
Three heavyweights climbed into
the ring last Wednesday night
and challenged the winner of the
Louis-Levinssy scrap to a fight.
They were Art Lasky, former
contender, against Baer; Ford
Smith, who knocked out Lasky
out West ,and Johnny liisko, the
Cleveland baker boy.
Aiter the fight, Lasky was inter
viewed at the Morrion hotel. He
was first asked if he still wanted
Louis.
“Why-er, yes,” he answered
with some hesitation, but plenty
of asuransce.
He then explained that his
manager was upstairs trying to
arrange a fight, but that they
wanted him to fight in Detroit.
Lasky was conscious of the fact
that a Detroit fight would class
him as a second-rater .
“We don’t want Detroit,” he
stated. “Either New York
(where Braddock whipped
Lasky) or Chicago, neutral
ground. I wouldn’t want to fight
him in Los Angeles because
everything would be in my favor
there, nor in Detroit where the
odds would favor him
With the Baer bout signed up,
it looks like Lasky will have ^Eu
wait until next spring when Joe
tunes up for Braddock.

J. M. P.—I am heir to some land j
that was bought by my grandfather
and willed to me and I want to se
cure the property. How can I get
it?
Ans: The particular tract of
land that you believed to have been
willed to you belongs to an OIL
COMPANY in Texas. These peo
ple purchased the land legally and
there is no way for you to gain con
trol of it. I cannot contact you as
being heir to any land in Texas left
you by your grandfather.
A. G.—Am I selfish.
Ans: I wouldn’t say so—I think
you are inclined to be a little too
generous for your own good. Any
young girl who shoulders the ex
pense of her home as you do is not
! SELFISH. It is true however, that
you are a bit selfish with your boy
friend and what girl isn’t when she
has the pick of the CROWD.

boy isn’t the least bit interested in
this old woman whom you are sus
picious of. Her interest in him is
a motherly one and there is nothing
out of the way to cause you any
trouble. He has a sweetheart
j though—for I vision a young lady
about his own age of whom he is
very fond.
O. C. T.—What shall I do when J

settle in NEW JERSEY and settle
down there with the RIGHT GIRL.
Your mother is not anxious to have
you around the house or she would
never have CAUSSED YOU TO GO

C. G. L.—I have been reading your

am a little dscouraged at times
wondering if I should continue to
go on to try to straighten out the

Ans: By all means ,keep on with
your work—don’t give up now when
the battle is half won. I vision you

Braving the fury and fangs of a
mad dog, here Tuesday afternoon,
three little boys, the eldest being 13
