Most notable example of a country falling into this “least favored nation” category, is tier- j many. The .Reich has practically no gold, and its international credit 1j non-existent. So it carries on foreign trade through an ex tremely involved and economically dubious be * er method. Result is that all our German imports are hit with a tariff of 25 per cent, on top of all other duties. That goes as well for countries which have been absorbed by Germany, or brought under German econo mic “protectorships,” such as Aust >'a and the Provinces of Czechoslovakia. The United Sates Department of State, under the leadership of Mr. Hull has strongly criticized suD idized trade. In Mr. Hull’s view, (the barter system is simply one more evidence of a totalitar ianism that goes straight against the grain of democratic convic tions. He believes that world pro perly can result only from the freest possible commercial rela tions between nations, on a cash basis, with all doing business in tho same manner and with none favored anrl none penalized. In the face, of that, the fact this government is seriously con sidering putting into effect a bar ter system of our own, on a limit ed scale, has excited a great deal of interest. And it has likewise excited a great deal of informed criticism. The commodity in question is cotton. The cotton problem has long been one of the most diffi cult of ou" domestic issues. For some years we have pursued a policy of cotton scarcity, and the result is a strong stimulation of foreign production, with a conse quent reduction in foieign demand for American cotton. At present the world carry-ove” of past sea son’s crops is equal to about four years of normal export require ments. Matters have reached the point where our lawmakers sim ply don’t see any way out, and aro willing to clutch at any st-iaw that offers hope of succor. Tho new proposal involves bar tering our cotton fo” English pro duced rubber and tin—two of that smiall list of important commodi ties which cannot be produced in necessary quantities in the United States or its possessions. At the same time, the government would provide an export subsidy for cot ton, so that American growers would •'eceive a price considerably in excess of the world price. It is apparent that this scheme workable or not, goes completely contrary to the fixed policy of the Department of State. Only a few weeks ago, Secretary Hull issued a istatement praising the success achieved by reciprocal trade agree ments, and pointing to the failure of barter t rade. In this statement, he said: “Regimented foreign trade baser! upon the principle of bilater al balancing, implemented by bar ter or compensatory arrangements, THE LITTLENESS OF SOME BIG PEOPLE . by William Pickens for ANP So the British authorities got all heated up and shut off the radio stations to keep his own people from hear ing their ex-king broadcast from France to America in the interest of peace. That is one of the smallest hits cf British littleness so far in their history. , Of course they give the foolish excuse that the pres ent king, younger brother of the Duke of Windsor, was on the sea on the way to America, presumably in the in terest of peace, and that therefore, somewhere in British mind, it was improper for the older brother and ex-king to broadcast anything on the great subject of peace. What a foolish notion, he subject is big enough for all of us to talk on it. Besides, the present king of Englanjd will need all the help he can get, for tai'^ng on anything. Perhaps Chamberlain may already have written his speech or speeches for him,--but what of that? And those who listened to it, tell me that Edward Windsor made a good sensible talk on peace,--a really appealing plea. That ought to prepare the way for his far less competent brother, it seems to us. ■ It is my guess that the upper crust in Britain has not forgiven, and will not forgive, Edward for marrying a commoner, a woman who had been twice divorced, and for snubbing the Great Britain throne to do so. Think of it. Giving up being King of Great Britain and Ireland •don't ask the Irish- and Emperor of India, and biggest chief of Africa, etc. etc.,- just to marry Wallis Simpson. There are others who will agree that Edward did not make a good bargain, but there is no excuse for ihe ex tent of this persecuting British littleness. I hate little ness everywhere,--in the big and in the little. And of course the biggest littlenesses I have ever)\rr-tWA6 long after Christmas I and all through the house not i pudding was stirring —not even a mousse.

Series 8. - - counsel of the NAACP; Charles H. Houston, and Leon A. Ransom, of the Howard university law school. C«i;e Goes Back to 1914 This case had its birth in the old grandfather clause cases of 1914 whereby the constitution o£. Oklahoma and several other states provided strict educational quali fications for voters unless they could prove that their grandfath ers had voted prior to 1866. Since no Negroes were qualified to vote prior to 1866 the discrimination in the constitution was apparent and the U. S. supreme court in 1915 held this provision uncon stitutional in a case fought by the NAACP. Immediately after this decision Oklahoma at tempted to get around the 15th amendment again by passing an act February 26, 1916 that all persons eligible for regis- 1 tration had to register within 12 days or be forever barred from registration. But the act provided however, that all persons who 1 voted in the 1914 elections (when 1 Negroes were excluded by the j grandfather clause) were not af fected. This act wa8 challenged on constitutional grounds in 1934 by the NAACP when registration waa refused I. W. Lane. Officials of the NAACP point ed out that the court’s decision can be hailed not only as a great gain for Negroes because it es tablishes their right to vote under the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution, but it also gives a broader interpretation to the so- J called Civil War amendments. Not ■ only is the r:ght to vote esttblish- ! ed by the old grandfather clause 1 cases, and ihe right to volte in primaries established by the Texas primary cases, all handled by the NAACP, but now the right to register has been established. NAACP Victories Twelve out of thirteen cases carried to the U. S. Supreme Court by the NAACP have been won. This record extends over a period of almost twenty-five years from 1915 to date. The first case in 1915 struck down as unconstitutional the grandfather clauses which were used to disfranchise Negroes in many states. The second case declared the Louisville segregation ordinance unconstitutional in 1917. This or dinance similar to those in other cities proh bited whites and Ne groes from living in the same dis tricts. The principle that a trial domi nated by mob violence is but a “mask” and a denial of due pro cess wr.3 established in 1923 in several cities growing out of the Elaine, Arkansas, riots. Twelve Negro sharecroppers were senten ced to death and 67 for long prison terms at trials dominated by mobs. These men were freed by this de cision and the precedent of due processn established. Th’’s prece dent has been used in many later esses including the famous Scotts boro appeals. In 1926 the New Orleans segre gation ordinannee similar to the Louisville one was declared un constitutional in a memorandum opinion. The first Texas primary case in 1927 established the right of Ne groes to vote in the primary as well as the general election and held unconstitutional a Texas sta ! tute which excluded Negroes from the Democratic primaries. In 1930 the_ Richmond, Virginia segregation ordinance, similar to the Louisville ordinance, was de clared unconst'tutional in a mem orandum opinion, Tho second attemjot of the state to exclude Negroes from the pri maries was declared unconstitu tional in 1932. After the first de cision Texas attempted to evade tho fifteenth amendment by enab ling the Democratic party of Texas to exclude Negroes. Th’s was de clared unconstitutional as state action. In 1935 the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that the conviction of Jess Hollins from Oklahoma by a jury of white from which all Negroes were excluded was invalid and a denial of due process of law. The conviction of three Negroes 'n Mississippi on a confession ex torted by force and violence was held to be a denial of due process of laiw in 1936. The supreme court held: “The rack and torture cham ber may not be substituted for the witness stand.” The conviction of Joe Hale of Kentucky on an indictment drawn by an all white jury and by a trial of an all white jury from which Negroes were excluded was declared unconstitutional in 1938. The University of Missouri de cision, December 12, 1938, estab I lished the principle that a quali I fied Negro could not be excluded j from the state university on the | grounds of h'is color in the absence . of the establishment of equal op I portunities for him within the (state. This decision established | tbo princ:ple applicable to all public education that “the admis sibility of laws separating the races in the enjoyment of privi lege-, which the law give3 to the (separated groups within the I State.” The twelfth victory was the case i decided Monday May 22 1939 de | daring unconstitutional a statute of Oklahoma which discriminated against Negroes in their right to register and vote. ——.—oOo ADVERTISE IN THE ~ OMAHA GUIDE SUMMER ; HOSTESS ENJOY ENTERTAINING WITH ELECTRIC TABLE COOKERY For hot-weather entertaining, every woman wants the easiest cooking methods.
