(ANP) League Accepts Selassie’s Check For His Dues Geneva, June 24(ANP)—Although the league of nations has all but officially recognized Italy’s con quest, of Ethiopia, for the purpose of taking in money its diplomats still realize the African nat'n’s independence. At the end of April the league received a check for $2,278 from flelnssio in part payment for Ethi opia’s dues. This check was not cashed, but was held by Secretary because its cashing would have implied that Sekassir; "was at ill recognized as an emperor and thus would have halted negotiations at the recent council meeting where the little Negus lost out. Although the council legally took no decision then on Ethiopia, it.virtunlly freed members to re rognirf* Mussolini’s ro|iuest. Tuesday it wns learned that the leagna has cashed Selhss'es check, crediting it to Ethiopia’s back dues.

Hamil l ton Fish j ation S. 4044, authorizing the pro- ' | Bident to permit citizeps if the1 ' American republics receive in-j struetion at West Point and An mpdig etc.) MR. FISH. Is not this part of j our good-neighbor policy? Is not the idea behind this bill the very worthy one of promoting friendly relations by inviting Latin Ameri can countries to ser.d some, of their youths to enter Annapolis and West Point at our expense in order that they may become imbued with our American prin ciples of government s.nd therebv combat fascism, nazi-ism and cbmmunism ? MR. SHANLEY. I think the gentleman with his usual felicity of expression has said it better than I did. MR. FISH. I do not adm:t that, but I wn.nt to p>o a litt’e further and say to the gentleman that I do not promise to oppose this measure. I think in due course they will probably reciprocate and ask us to send representatives to their countries to be educated in their militvxy and naval institu tions. _ . '■'.-•■.i-'-WvV! I would lige, however to take this opportunity to make certain comments. I have perd:ng a bill authorizing the President each year. There are some 12 000,000 j Or 13,000,000 American Negroes.' Poes not the gentleman agree that it is about time that they! received some representation? 1 Am sure the ireutleman from Con*-1 neeticut will support such a pro posal. I just wanted to show the inconsistency of the present situ ation wherein we are Inviting i’out.h from foreign lands to come her at our exnenso to enter West Point and Annapolis, yet we are hot willire to give our own American Negroes an opportunity to receive the same treatment and! education. The fact is tflat in the! las 60 years we have had just( three Negroes graduate from; West IV mt and none from Anna polis. MK. DINGECL. Mr. Speaker,' reserving the right to object, since : the gentleman champions the' causo of the Negro, I would like to ask the gent.eman a direct question: How many Negroes has ho appointed to West Point or An napolis? \vhy has not t.ie geu> tleman obtained passage of his b ll during his many years of service1 under the administration of his^ own Republican Party? Is it be-: causo he desires to cast ouiis up-1 q.i this administration, MR. FISH. It so happens that I have very few Negroes in my district but I hold c.vil service! examinations to fill my appoint ments to both academies regard-' less of race, color, nr creed and' the highest to qualify gets the appointment. 1 am only trying to point out^ an injustice done to some 12,000-! 000 Americans. MR. LHNGELL, 1 intend to ap-] point a Negro at an early date. 1 have tried to recognize the v,Mi nus elements in my district, and 1 w'H do without hiding behind a! civil service examination: MR. FISH. It is about time the I gentleman did, for he has a great many Negroes in his district. 1 Imvo been in the gout email's d:s trict, and all I am interested in is securing fair representation f r a very large and loyal element of our population. The enactment of my bill, H,. R. 10166, providing for the a.p-i pointment of two Negroes Cadets! to West Point in each year by the ! 1 resident, making a total of eight j when the full quota was attained,] would have the effect of giving proper recognati n to one-tenth of our population who are ignored in such appointments. 1 intend to reintroduce the b ll when Congress reccnvences next year, if reelected, and to renew my request for a full and complete hearing before the Committee on Military Affairs.
