Lese Majesty American humor has wounded the sensibilities of the Japanese nation A magazine has carica tured the Japanese Emperor in the guise of a laborer drawing a jinirikisha containing the Nobel Peace Prize. The Japanese missed the joke. The Emperor’s receiving the peace prize and not his conveying it was supposed to make Gods and nations laugh.: All labor is honorable even if per formed by Persident, King or Emperor. The American humor-! ist, with impunity, directs the I shaft of his wit at anything in the Heavens above, the earth be neath and the waters under the earth. To him nothing is rosanet J or inviolate. Our high diguata-; ries are caricatured in whatever similitudo the humor oftheartist may devise and the victims of his shaft are supposed to smile while they smart. Sanctity is fast be coming a lost art. Things sacred and divine alike become the ob- j jeet of rideule and side-cracking laughter. But not so with sensi- j tive nations such as the Japanese are now and as the Germans were recently. It is easy to recall the international episode caused by an American Admiral’s humor ous rendiion of “Hoch Der Kaiser!” The Germans regarded their Emperor as the embodiment of divinity in person. The Japan ese esteem their Emperor as be ing a direct descendant of heaven. ! Any disrespect manifested to- j wards his sacred person is re-1 garded as blasphomv against I the I>iety. They hold their dig-, notaries and traditions with the same reverential regard as the Jews hold Jehovah set forth in the admonition: ‘ ‘ Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord w’ill not hold him guiltless that tak eth his name in vam,” To the present day Christian has degener ated into mere glib recital, whol-1 void of the sactity and rever ence which, it originally enjoined. | It is difficult for one race, one nation or one religion to under stand and enter into the delicate sensibilities of another. There is a deep undercurrent of mean ing in Kipling’s lines: “For East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet 1 I ‘Till earth and sky stand pres ently at God’s great judgement seat. ’ ’ What makes the American laugh makes the Japanese grieve. Freedom of speech and of the press is the constitutional right of every’ American citizen. The Government itself, therefore, has no recourse against an American citizen who exercises this right to the discomforture of a foreign Potentate beyond our Constitu io.nal or national horizon. It is only a gesture of international courtesy and chivalry which causes the Department of State to heed the complaint of Japan for an unintended offense for which the Government cannot ordinarily take cognizance. Lese Majesty is not in accord with the American spirit where every man is a king. The swift response of the De . • partment to Japan’s complaint <3 suggests the respect and defer ence which power always com mands. The apologetic apology which this nation extended to its wodhded rival was not wholly without connection will her rank in0 the family of nations.. “Hiol Hitler” offends trie loyal Nazi of Germany as.keenly as yoking the o Emperor .of Japan to a jinriki o sha hurt the sensitive Orientals. But the German nation is now in international disfavor and such remarks lightly pass as ridicule and jest without effective resent ment. Japan ranks among the great powers of the earth. The United States does not fool that it can allow an American citizen wantonly to offend Japan’s amor propro without at least a gesture of amend honorable. Had a simi lar cartoon been published in an American magazine caricaturing the Emperor of China remon strance from the Celestial Empire would have been laughed at or ignored in silence. The American indulges his freedom of speech in caricaturing minoriry groups with impunity. The Jew and the Negro ,especially the latter, are held up to public ridicule and scorn ad libertem. The genteel American spirit must yet learn to pay the same deference and respect to the just sensibilities of the rneek_and lowly as to the high and mighty. In an early release I will apply the doctrine of LESE MAJESTY . to the Negro race.

Px tne National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo ple has received a crude leafiest head ed: “The White Crusaders are here to chase the Negroes out of Pennsyl vanix” Certain white groups in Pennsyl vania are tremendously excited be cause the legislature passed an equal rights law which goes into effect, September 1. The White Crusaders represent only the rabble-rousers, but many “respectable” whites are said to be bitterly opposed to the law. The complete Crusader leaflet follows: “THEY’RE HERE” “THE WHITE CRUSADERS” “Here to chase the Negro out of Pennasylvania and make it a safe State, for our Mothers. Wives, Sis ters. and Daughters. Here to give Penna. back to the White man, to live in peacefully. “And if necessary to make the Su preme sacrifices but with a pledge signed in our own blood. That for eve’ y ounce of white blood spilled, there wnll be tons of Negro blood spilled. ^ “We u'ere honest law abiding citi zens until the Negro used his in fluences to save a so-called Equal Rights bill passed by a group of selfish politicians. We did not want tc discriminate against the Negro, veryone seemed to be satisfied but we must have treated the Negro too good. He wants the same privileges as the White man. Especially with the White woman. WAKE UP WHITE ALAN, DECENCY RE QUIRES IT. THE NEGRO, asked for this and we are going to give it to him and grive it to him Right. “ANY WHITE THAT UPHOLDS A NIGGER WILL BE TREATED THE SAME AS A NEGRO. “Do your part to help move the MASON-DIXQN line NORTH of | PENN A. “CRUSADERS are here, there and everywhere. CO-OPERATE—JOIN— ! We’ll be with you until the State belongs to the WHITE MAN. “DONT DESTROY, PASS ALONG TO ANOTHER WHITE”. A statement from the N. A. A. C. P. expressed surprise that so much comment has arisen in Pennsylvania over this law, “The Pennsylvania law is almost word for word the same law which ■has been on the statute books of New York State since 1918,” the N. A. A. C. P. declared. “Illinois has a sim ilar law and so has Ohio.. New’ Jer sey passed a new and stronger law this year sponsored by Assembly man Mercer Burrell. Massachusetts and Connecticut have such law’s as does Nebraska and Michigan. The same kind of a law* failed to pass in .the (Indiana legislature by only eight votes. Pennsylvania is far behind the trend of the times/’ The N. A. A. C. P. said it wras in formed that Philadelphia, the “Cradle of Liberty” and the “City of Brother ly Love,” w’as cost bitter over the law’. In this city, with over 2 million pop ulation, 220,000 of w’hich is Negro, a colored person has a hard time buy ing a sandwich anywhere outside the “colored” district. For years Phila delphia theatres have refused to al low' Negroes to sit on the first floor. Practically the same conditions ob tain in Pittsburgh. . THIRTEEN PROVED TO BE A LUCKY NUMBER FOR. 20.924 UNEMPLOYED MEN (Continled from Page 1) Educational classes are held at the tenter for colored men to combat illiteracy. Opportunity is also provided in the Arts Studio for those of artistic turn S of mind. Camp Paper is made up and mimeo graphed by the men weekly. The hospital was enlarged and now has 50 beds, operating room, dental office, and diet kitchen. In Septem ber, 1934, when Mr. William S. Plun kert, National Director of the Tran sient Division, visited Omaha, he said, after inspecting the Center, “Your medical set-up is the finest I t have ever seen, and I have seen many good ©nes.' Eye, ear. nose, and throat clinic is given three times weekly. In October, 1934, plans were made for a Family Residence, to act as an intake center for transient families and unattached women, employing a matron and cook. The rase load for ' families had advanced at this time to approximately 300, and policy has been and is to lodge them with land lords throughout the city until a plan is worked out for them. In December, the need for a defi nite vocational and educational train ing program resulted in the leasing of the Bellevue College Biddings, ten miles from Omaha. A selected group of various ages is quartered here, be ing sent from Omaha Center after , suitabilily is determined. Work pro jects and classes are coordinated so that each man has time for both. " ork projects consist of maintenance and operation of service departments; cultivation of eleven acres of truck garden, work in the city park and or. country roads. Capacity is 200. W. C. Nelson is Director. Harry F. Fore, appointed as Educational Di rector for the Transient Division, has headquarters at Bellevue and su pervises the educational program there. In addition to subjects such as shorthand, business English, etc., such suejects as w’elding, bricklaying, shoe repairing, and bookbinding are offered. In October, 1934, construction was begun on Chadron Camp, needed as a base for handling transients in the north and west of the State. Con struction was under the direction of the FERA Work Division, although i some transient labor was sent from the Omaha Center. Capacity is 110 men. The camp consists of eighteen buildings of excellent construction and is primarily a labor camp. Work project is clearing out city reservoir, construction of soil erosion dams along Chadron Creek feeder j stream, and smaller projects in the vicinity, such as making of dams, con i structing of roads, repair to rrriga i tion system, and cultivation of five acres produce to be used in camp. A temporary work camp, to be made permanent later, was opened in July, 1935, at Carter Lake, with Guy Wheaton as Director. "Work project is entirely on the Carter Lake Park development program, under the su pervision of the Department af the Interior. MRS W. C. JACKSON TO LEAVE FOR HOT SPRINGS Mrs. W. C.

Mr. Willie Hunter and other relatives in De troit, returning home in Decem ber. Chain Gang Truck Arrives In Omaha August 24 and 25 The replica of a chain-gang cage, built by the I. L. D., and now touring the country in the campaign to free Angelo Hern don, the 22 year-old Negro youth sentenced by the Georgia officials to serve a term of 18-20 years ori j the Georgia chain-gang for organ- j izing white and Negro workers in a demonstration before the relief! office asking for bread, is sche duled to arrive in Omaha, on Sat urday, August 24th. The truck is i equipped with spikes, chains, whips and other weapons which are used against prisoners, as well j as striped convict suits. A meet-, mg will be held on Saturday night, on Grant Street, just off 24th. Donald Burke, representa tive of the' “International Labor Defense, and other local speakers will address the open-air meeting from a platform of the truck. On Sunday night a similar open-air meeting will be held in South Omaha on the corner of 30th and R streets. Both meetings will be gin at 8 p. m. The “insurrection” law under which Angelo Herndon was sen tenced ot serve eighteen to twen ty years on the chain-gang, is in direct line of descent from the cruel slave laws of the earliest colonial days. A law amid at brave insurrections—which was itself the final form of a whole series of barbarous laws—was passed in 1861. The present insurrection law was passed in 1866. Between these two dates there was fought out one of the most important wrars in all history, a war at whose root lay the issue of slave ry or freedom for the Negro peo ple. Before the war the Negroes wrere chattel slaves; after the war they wore, for the most part, peons on the land or w^age-slaves in the cities. The new law of 1866 was designed to crush uprisings among the new “slaves”, to gov ern the relations between siave and master. Georgia wants Angelo Herndon because he dared to organize un employed workers in Atlanta to demand better relief. Nothing would please Georgia’s sadistic officials better than to put a steel collar around his neck and chains around his legs with 20 inch spikes, and to beat him unmerci fully every' time he protests against their savagery. Certain lingering death awaits one who is forced to spend 18 to 20 years on the chain-gang. Sanitary con ditions are unbearable. Sick and healthy are thrown together into cages like beasts. No provisions for bathing exist. Stocks, whip ping, stretching .and other forms of corporal punishment are not only used but provided for by law. Herndon has been saved to the present moment by the organized might of hunderds of thousands led by the International Labor Defense who were able to raise $15,000 within a few weeks which released Herndon from the At lanta penetentiary. ANGELO HERNDON must be freed. The campaign for two mil lion signatures demanding his freedom and the abolition, of the slave law must receive the widest support here in Omaha. Every si gnat rue is a vote against the brutal chain-gang system.

Warns of Further Lynchings _________ • New York, Aug. 22.—Warning that “there is grave danger that with the impending adjournment of Congress there will be an increase in the num ber of lvnchings or attempted lynch ings/' the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People this week sent out instructions to all its branches to be on the alert. The association's letter, signed by Walter White, secretary", cited the increase of lynchings last year after Congress adjourned without taking action uP cr. the Costigan-Wagner federal anti-lynching bill. The national office urges all its branches to be on the lookout for signs of threatened lynching,'’ the letter states. “Should there be talk of a lynching in your community, communicate immediately with the governor and other law enforcement officers, including the sheriff, mayor and chief of police, calling upon them to provide every necessary safeguard to protect the prisoner from lynch ing. Give publicity to your efforts and keep the national office advised of all details. “In many instances egorts will be made to allege that persons lynched were killed by “posses” or other quasi-legai groups, in order that kill ings may not be listed as lynchings. Investigate every case of this sort and advise the national office of your findings. “When lynchings occur, investigate as far as possible all details, utiliz ing whenever possible friendly white people to get information not ofchtr wise obtainable. When rape or other sex crimes are alleged, investigate very carefully, as there are indica tions that sex crimes wriil be increas ingly given as causes of lynching in ordert to lessen criticism. “Be on the alert and be especially careful to authenticate every detail as far as possible. Do not act on idle rumor- but check every fact.” -■1 ■ 1 11 Resettlement Group Against Dis crimination Washington, D.
