BUILD Your Own COMMUNITY By Patronizing Your Naborhood Stores About Italian War Fund New York, Jan. 11 An inquiry to Secretary Cordell Hull of the Department of State as towheth er or not the collectionof funds in this country by Italian Americans is not a violation of the spirit of American neutral itywas made this week by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The funds being collected by the Italians in America are advertis ed as going to the Italian Red Cross, but in the publicity for a huge mass meeting in New York City last week, where a total of one-half million dollars was an nounced, the statement was made that the funds were for the Ital ian Red Cross “and for other purposes.” An Italian-American newspaper which sponsored the mass meet ing, is quoted in the letter as say ing: “To once more remonstrate that the hearts of the Italo-Americans beat with the heart of the far away motherland and that each and every compatriot who resides in this Motherland of adoption is ready to give all in his power to help Italy fight back the brutal international coalition led by Eng land with the utmost resistance and give a chance to the Italian soldiers who are now in Africa to write another epic page of glory in the history of civilization, and also it must serve to show that the five millions of Italian-Amer icans who live in the United States are ready to immolate themselves on the altar of their great Moth erland and will answer, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” A similar letter of inquiry has been sent by the N. A. A. C. P. to Attorney General Homer S. Cummings. It is the contention of the Association that the war like statement and the assertion that the money is to be used for “other purposes” is evidence that Italian Americans are violating the spirit of neutrality. It will be recalled that m4any white people and some colored people, among them (Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell, adwised American Ne groes not to try to boycott Ital ian-Americans, as that would vio late the spirit of friendship and neutrality. It will be remember ed that in Birmingham, Ala., the police even endeavored to force colored people to trade at Italian grocery stores, saying that colored people had “no right” to boycott Italians. * Richmond Reserves National Negro Congress Day Richmond, Va., (CNA) Negro churches of Richmond, Va., set » aside Sunday, Jan. 5th, as Nation * al Negro Congress Day. On that date speakers from the Sponsor ing Committee of the Congress covered all of the larger churches. In the others a statement was read asking for the support of the Congress and for attendance at a mass meeting to be held early in January. The decision was made by the Interdenominational Alliance and the Baptist Ministers’ Confer ence at the request of Professor Moore of Union University and Donald Burke, both of the local Sponsoring Committee for the Na tional Negro Congress, which will bo held in Chicago on February 14th. Indicative of the wide interest in the Congress, a group of white students of William and Mary Ex tension School, and of Richmond University, assembled at a Na tional Student League Forum last week, voted to send a delegate to serve on he Sponsoring Commit tee.

Sponsored and Supported by Public Spirted Northside Business Men for the Purpose of Creating Better Understanding Between Merchantsand Consumers an dfor the Purpose of Bringing Dircetly to You the Latest Price Quotations Fascist Suit Against U. S. Withdrawn New York, Jan. 11 (CNA) Suit against the government of the United States for placing an em bargo on shipments of oil, scrap iron, cotton arid other products to Italy for use in its attack upon Ethiopia was withdrawn by Phil ip Giordane, ofthe Italian Facist paper, II Progresso Italiano, when he discovered that no such em bargo had been ordered, or was even possible under the present Neutrality law. Moreover, public opinion agaiSist Mussolini’s ven ture has grown so large that such a suit would have been decidedly unpopular. The suit was directed against Secretary of State Hull and other members of the National Muni tions Control Board. It arose from an effort to help defeat the threatened oil sanctions against Italy. Mr. Hull did not ban such ex ports to Italy. He merely re quested that they be restricted. To date the government has done nothing with the request. However, groups of anti-fas cists all over the country are demanding that the United States extend its embargo to oil and also co-operate with the League of Na tions in strengthening sanctions against Italy. Oil is the primary ingredient of | fascist Italy’s war machine against Ethiopia. You Can Stay Discriminated Says WPA Adm. New York, (CNA) “Mr. Law ler, you are tbe kind of a man who always complains about discrim ination. You can stay discrimi nated the rest of your life. I will do nothing further about your case.” This is the manner In which WPA Administrator Ridder told Ignat ius E. Lawler, WPA Park sur veyor, fired from his job for “in competence” that the WPA set-up was getting tired of pretending to be interested in complaints of dis crimination. Lawler has been trying for several months to receive a rat ing for the work at which he was employed. Finally he was given a two-a VI-a-half hour examina tion by Mr. Thomson, of theWPA Re-rating Board. Upon the receipt of the results by the W. P. A. park project heads, Lawler was given a second examination. Summarily, h e was declared incompetent and fir ed from the job he reld. His case is being taken up by the Federation of Architects, En gineers, Chemists and Technicians who charged the WPA adminis tration with the rankest kind of discrimination against Negro technicians. The Federation after the fir ing, con^plain^d to Ridder. Mr. Lawler, accompanied by Mr. Mar cel Scherer, were referred to Ma jor Bennett, chief engineer of the W. P. A. whose attitude toward Negroes was contemptuous. The two complained again to Mr. Rid der, whereupon the Administra tor angrily exposed his true senti ments. Fascists Threaten Professor Jeze By Nancy Cunard, Special Cor. Paris (CNA) Because Profes Jeze universally recognized as a brilliant lawyer, had been chosen to defend Ethiopia at the League of Nations, Paris fascists last week interupted his law studies at tho Paris Faculty. Subsequently, and boeai^se of this demonstra tion, Professor Jeze’s classes were suspended. As L’Humanlte says, “it is in acceptable that the Ministry of Education should give way in this manner to the threats of the roy alist-fascists." The Association of Revolution ary Writer and Artists of the House of Culture has sent a mes sage of solidarity to Professor Jeze and the assurance that, if it need be, workers organizations will be lined up for his defense. Harlem Group Denounces Mayor New York, Jan. 11 (CNA) In dignant protests to Mayor La Guardia 'poured in at the City Hall this week, condemning the mayor for his appearance and participation in a fascist meeting at Madison Square Garden last Saturday. The Medical Committee for the Defense of Ethiopia, a Harlem or ganization of well-known profes sionals andlaymen, Voiced a sharp protest, not only for itself “but the justified indignation of the Negro masses of Harlem and other sections of New York City.” The letter, signed by Dr. Arnold Donawa, secretary of the Commit tee, read as follows: “Hon. Fiorello JL LaGuardia, “Mayor of New York, “City Hall, “New York City, “Dear Sir: “The Medical Committee for Defense of Ethiopia has instruct ed me to convey to you its pro test and deep sense of disappoint ment that you should have de meaned your high office by put ting it to the service of political propaganda. “Whatever your personal feel ings may be, by lending your dis tinguished presence at the Madi son Square Garden to aid the fas cist cause of Italy, you have thrown the weight of your public officeon the side of a country that I has been declared by the world i to be guilty of unwarranted ag ression against a small and de fenseless nation, Ethiopia, and has thereby earned the contempt of all fair-minded people. “As the mayor of the largest city in the United States, which has declared itself completely neutral in that unfortunate con flict, your action in behalf of Italy cannot be construed as your pri vate affair; and the Medical Com mittee for the Defense of Ethio pia voices not only its own pro test, but the justified indignation of the Negro masses of Harlem and other sections of New York City. Very truly yours, (Signed) Arnold Donawa, Secretary.” Mrs. Hunton Thinks New Organization Has A Place New York, Jan. 11—(ANP)— Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, prominent in women’s affairs, added her op inion to those of other feminine leaders Thursday as she dis cussed the possibilities of the new National Council of Colored Wo men. “I am honestly of the opinion”, said Mrs. Hunton, “that the Na tional Council of Colored Women, which after several years of con sideration and consultation has just been organized by Mrs. Beth une, should not only enhance the value and power of organizational work among the women of our group, but also make for an in creased respect from the outside world because of the unity it will create. Mrs. Hunton who is honorary president of the International Council of Women of Darker Races, honorary president of the Empire State Federation of Wo men’s Clubs and vice-president of the International | League for Peace and Freedom, said in ad dition: “So thoroughly do I believe in the ability of Mrs. Bethune to con vince Dr. Waring of the value of this new organization, that I shall leave the doing of it to her wisdom.” We have discovered the way to dream anything you wish and have it come true.
