CALVIN SAYS
By FLOYD J. CALVIN
ITALY SET BACK
Italy is rejoicing over her “vic
tory” on the northern front in Eth
iopia but close observers have
noted her setback in the south.
Amaldo Cortesi, writi ngshr eta
New York Times from Rome, just
near Makale, said: “Today’s offi
cial war bulletin contains the first
admission of a setback that the
Italian staff has made since the
beginning of the last African cam
paign. It states that on Feb. 10 an
Italian garrison of sixty Dubats
(native troops) at Curati, des
cribed as an observation post in the
south, was attacked by consider
able Ethiopian forces and over
whelmed after a strenuous resist
ance.”
It is noticeable that Italy read
ily issues statements of "victor
ies” when the Roman populace be
gins to grow restless of the
“snail’s pace” of II Duce’s legions
in Ethiopia. For that reason, news
of an overwhelmig Ethiopian de
feat cannot be fully credited, for
only a week ago Italian high offi
cials themselves were admitting
the northern commander, Bodag
lio, was “ill” and might be “called
home.”
Negroes throughout America
and the colored peoples throughout
the world, need not fear for Eth
iopia’s cause Her mountains and
deserts and the will to be free of
her inhabitants have combined to
make that the oldest and largest
free country in Africa.
RECONSTRUCTION AMMU
NITION
In order to arm Negroes for re
buttal in arguments on Recontruc
tion, Calvin’s Newspaper Service
asked George S- Schuyler, the not
ed journalist and critic, to men
tion five points which he considers
the most important answers by
DuBois in “Black Reconstruction”
to detractors of the record in that
epoch- Mr. Schuyler’s answers fol
low:
1. That Negroes did not fight
for their freedom: i. e-, that the
whites fought for it- That is con
clusively refuted.
2. That Negroes controlled the
legislatures of the South during
Reconstruction. This is also dis
proved from the records.
3 That Negro legislators were
were illiterate but -it has been
shown that many were better ed
ucated than most of the whites,
and most of the illiterates were
very intelligent men who saw the
issues clearly.
4. That the newly emancipated
Negroes were incapable of self
government. The record reveals
that the Negroes were no more or
no less capable than the surround
ing whites- Certainly they spon
sored and supported more advan
ced legislation than the planters
and their satellites did in the ante
bellum legislatures.
6. That Reconstruction “ruined”
the South- It is proven that it was
slavery and cotton culture direct
ed by a lazy, profligate and ig
norant ruling class that started
the South on the downhill road. In
the main, the finances of the var
ious Reconstruction States were
in as good shape as they were in
1860, considering that public
buildings had to be rebuilt and re
paired, and public schools and rail
roads had to be constructed.
Mr. Schuyler closes with these
words: “These exploded canards
have been used for half a century
by the Negro’s traducers as an ex
cuse for denying him his citizen
ship and human rights. By demol
ishing them once and for all, Du
Bois does the Negro race a tre
menduous favor for which it can
not thank him sufficiently ”

Lynching Resolution
Favorably Reported
Resolution for Investigation Of
Lynching! Favorably Re
ported By Committee
Washington, Feb. 20—The
Van Nuys resolution for a sen
atorial investigation of lynch
ings since the filibuster last
May on the Costigan-Wagner
anti-Lynching bill in the Senate
has been favorably reported out
by the committee on the Judic
iary, with provision for $7,500
for the expenses of the investi
gation. The resolution now goes
to the Senate Committee on
Audit and Control of Expenses
to determine whether the
amount recommended by the
Committee on the Judiciary
shall be reduced.
All branches of the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People and all
friends, and the press, are be
ing urged to send resolutions,
telegrams and communications
to the Senate Committee on
Audit and Control, to prevent
any reduction in tht amount re
commended by the compitte on
the Judiciary. No effective sen
atorial investigation can be
conducted without finances and
any sum below the $7,500 re
commended by the committee
would not be sufficient to per
mit the investigating commit
tee to do more than make a ges
ture.
The resolution provides that
the Senate committee on the Ju
diciary shall “investigate (1)
the facts and circumstances
surrounding the lynchings
which have occurred in the Un
ited States since May 1, 1935,
; (2) the relation of such lynch
ings to other crimes and to the
maintenance of law and order,
and (3) the action- if any, taken
by the responsible public auth
orities to prevent such lynch
ings and to punish the persons
guilty of committing such
crimes.''
Support is rolling up Denim
the resolution and the Costigau
Wagner bill from all sections
of the country. The American
Civil Liberties fjnion has form
ally endorsed the investigation.
From San Jose, Calif., the scene
of the lynching of Thurmond
and Holmes in 1933, white kid
nappers and slayers, comes a
contribution from a leading
citizen, who writes: “With
flaming shame and indignation
I send my small gift with fer
vent wish that it might be a
thousand times more."

olution (Senate Resolution 211,

ate Document Room, United

resolutions and messages should

action.
