South African Bishop
Wants More Money
For Native Education
Johannesburg, South Africa,
Pec. 21.—“If money is not spent
on class rooms now, money will
have to be spent on building jails
later on.”
In these strong terms, the
Bishop o f Johannesburg com
mented upon the state of Native
education in the Union of South
Africa in his annual speech at
| Synod. He also deplored the in
human conditions forced upon the
Native teachers.
According to a Native instruc
tor, “teachers are definitely up in
arms against missionary control
and the compulsory spiritual en
slavement of both child and
teacher. This is a fact the Bishop
should know."
Under missionary control, the
tteacher added, the instructors
are forced to take a part in all
functions of the church. On Sun
day ho has to spend the day in
Sunday School. Should he refuse
to do any part of what is ex
pected of him,, he is immediately
branded as undisciplined and un
fit
The government of South Af
rica is controlled by British im
perialists.

Fires Worker Then
Keeps Him Off Relief
Boston, Mass., Dec. 21.—A fight
for the reinstatement of Wallace
Dewey, a Negro employee in line
for promotion to the post of man
ager of the First National Store,
1066 Tremont street, is being car
ried on by the Provisional Com
mittee for Equal Opportunities.
Dewey, discharged allegedly be
cause of a dispute about overtime
pay, was fired because he was a
Negro, the Provisional Commit
tee claims.
Despite snow and sharp winds,
Negro and white men, women and
children picketed the store this
week, carrying placards with the
legends “Protest Race Prejudice,"
and “Give Wallace Dewey His
Job."
Conferences with the represen
tatives of the National Stores
have been held for many weeks at
the instigation of the Provisional
Committee. The claim of the
company that Dewey attacked a
white substitute manager with a
knife was proved to be false. But
Derwey, despite the conference, is
unemployed.
A statement of the Provisional
Committee said, “When Dewey
applied to the Welfare Bureau for
aid, the company sent a letter to
them attacking Dewey, in an at
tempt to prevent Dewey’s family
from getting relief."
U. S. Army General
Hails Mussolini’s
Ethiopian Invasion
Now York, Dec. 21.—General
Charles H. Sherrill, staunch sup
porter of American participation
in the Barlin Olympic Games
which would bar “dirty Jews and
Negroes," hailed Mussolini for his
war on Ethiopia “in defense of the
homeland.” Ilo offered no explan
ation as to how Italy was in dang
er of attack from Ethiopia.
This unqualified praise o f
Mussolini and the “New Italy”
was voiced in a speech before the
Italian Chamber of Commerce of
New York at the Biltmore hotel.
Urges Aid to Italy.
That no hampering restrictions
be put on shipments to Italy of
war materials other than muni
tions was also recommended by
the general.
Sherrill, who is exposed as a
“breeder of racial hatreds and a
man un-Anyirican to the core" in
an article in the December 3rd is
sue of the New Masses, urged
Italian-America ns to support a
presidential candidate in 1U36 who
favors and most closely follows
the principles of Mussolini.
Despite the efforts of such men
ns Charles H. Sherrill and Wil
liam Randolph Hearst, the move
ment to stop shij merits of war
materials, such as cotton and oil
as well ns inanitions, to Italy, is
growing in this country. General
Sherrill, himself, has received
many slaps in the fac from organ
izations demanding the with
draw! of American teams from
the Berlin Olympics.

Natives Bum
Mussolini’s Effigy
In South Africa
Durban, South Africa, Dec. 21,
(CNA by Mail)—A black-shorted
effigy of Mussolini, was sprinkled
with paraffin and set ablaze to
the enthusiastic shouts of 3,000
African Natives gathered at a
meeting In defense of Ethiopia on
October 23.
A pouring rain in no way
dampened the ardor with which
the slogans “Down with Musso
lini,” and “Africa must be re
turned to us” were shouted.
Support Ethiopia.
The chairman of the meeting,
organized by the Durban Branch
of the Friends of Abyssinia, I.
Wolfson, National Organizer of
tho South Africa Textile Workers
Union, proposed: “That we Afri
can people sympathize with
Ethiopia and pledge to support
any action that the dock workers
will take in order to send away
tho Italian ship empty from South
Africa.”
