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.

Speech of Rep. 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.
