New York San Francisco, Calif —Widely dis cussed articles of particular inter est to the foreign delegation attend ing the San Francisco Conference are those appearing now in the New York Post by NAACP Consultants Walter White and Dr W. E B Du Bois, dealing with the major issues of Colonial trusteeship. human rights and the race question in gen. eral. The articles are credited with an important role focusing atten tion on the final problem of the World Security machinery relative to colonial peoples and strategic bases In the series which will be avail able later in pamphlet form, White and DuBois reveal the negligible j practices of purported democracies toward peoples and colonies under their control, which in no wise can be reconciled with the objectives of World War II being Jfought in the name of ‘FTeedom for all men ev erywhere.” On the question of the necessity for' heavily dominated bases in the Pacific. Walter White queries their need and establishment and chal ; lenses the validity of such claims as follows (May 3, issue of New j York Post) “How much need will there be for heavily armed bases in the Pacific if (a) all the Allied Na_ tions. especially Great Britain and Russia, join in rendering apan as impotent as they are now rendering Germany, and. (b) if an honest peace which will assure the freedom of men and women of every race » creed, color and national origin1 throughout the world is drafted and enforced and thereby makes war less necessary and inevitable. “The second question deals with the mechanics of establishment of such bases not only in the Pacific but at Singapore. Hongkong, the Suez Canal, Manchukuo or the Car ibbean. The U. S. Army and Navy, backed vigorously by the Hearst press and certain other organs, are reputedly urging a policy of telling the existing colonial powers that they can do what they will with their colonies—past, present or fu ture—if, in return, they abstain from interfering with American dominance in Pacific bases believed to be necessary to protect the Amer ican mainland “If it is necessary to ensure world peace by fortification,” he says, "why should not their creation and maintenance be entrusted to what ever association of nations may be devised instead of to individual na_ tions? We are doing precisely that in our plans for four-power control of occupied Germany Why not sim ilar and expanded oint cooperation action in other areas of the world, based upon whatever association of nations which must follow the end of the wars if civilization is to sur vive . ?” COLONIALS MUST BE HEAPD Facts and figures to refute the theory that in reality dictatorship were bitterly aligned against dem ocracies in World War II, are im pressively presented by Dr. DuBois (Alay 4 issue) in pointing out the true status and limitation of the de_ mocratic idea The NAACP Direc tor of Special Research states; “Nor can it be reconciled with any philos ophy of democracy that 50,000,000 white folks of the British enjpire should be able largely to control the destiny of 450,000,000 yellow, brown and black people Arid again in side the same Empire, it is both as tonishing and discouraging to find among the leading 'free nations’ battling for ‘democracy’ the Union of South Africa, where 2,000.000 white folk hold 8.000,000 natives and colored folks in a subordination un equalled elsewhere in the world “To this we may add the fact that before the present war 73,000,000 Japanese ruled 80,000,000 peoples in Manchukuo, Formosa and other ter ritories withou giving them any de_ cisive voice in their government In France 38,000,000 whites rule 71, 000,000 colored peoples in Africa, and Asia. Portuguese with 7.000. 000 rule 10,000.000 Africans and the United States of America rule 19 - 000,000 colored people in Alaska and the Philippines.” MORAL POWER MAY BE AFFECTED In essaying the need for effective international machinery to outlaw for all times imperialism and the seeds of bitterness breeding a World War III, Walter White warns (N Y. Post, May 5)” If the San Fran cisco conference dodges the issue of freedom for colonial peoples and of colored populations in the United States. West Indies. South America and other parts of the world or if racial imperialism based on ‘man. dates' and 'protectorates' is perpet uated. the conferees here will mere ly lay the groundwork for a third and even more disastrous war in stead of carving out a durable peace. “This does not mean a world rac ial war, at least within measurable time. It will more likely mean a resumption of bitter struggle be_ tween the existing nations for air and sea trade routes, raw materials, manpower and spheres of influence, particularly in the colonies. •'That is why the adoption of an International Bill of Rights and the establishment of machinery to make it effective are a basic necessity be fore the San Francisco delegates Such a Bill of Rights must be one of the instruments to revise concepts of race theories like Nazism which are almost as current in the United States and Great Britain as they were in Hitler's Germany ” WHITE TO ADDRESS MEETINGS l\ EAST San Francisco, Calif . -Waller White.

The Economic and Social Council should set up commissions in the fields of economic activity, promot ion of human rights and any other field within the competence of the Council The Social and Economic Council will be the administrative agency of the Security Council and of the Assembly. Consultant)* Contend for Specific Definition of Safeguards at San Francisco Conference A limiting clause, considered dan gerous and unfortunate, and which NAACP consultants are working as siduously to eliminate or drastically modify reads: "Nothing contained in this charter shall authorize the Or ganization to intervene in matters which are essentially within the do_ mestic urisdiction of the State con corned or which requires the mem bers to submit such matters to set tlement under this Charter.” The United States delegation has proposed an amendment to Chapter V dealing with the functions and powers of the General Assembly which some contend will give <*the International Organization the right to inquire into "domestic" matters despite the amendment quoted above dealing with prineipl-i es prohibiting intervention in mat. ters “which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of the State concerned." The United States pro posal provides, “Subject to the pro visions of paragraph I of this Sec tioni the General Assembly should be empowered to recommend meas ures for the peaceful adjustment of any situation, regardless of origin, which it deems likely to impair the general welfare or friendly relations among nations, including situat_ ions resulting from a violation of the Purposes and Principles set for th in this Charter.” But it is the contention of the NAACP consult ants that this does not sufficiently empower whatever international or ganization is set up to intervene in what some countries might claim are "domestic matters'^ but which do endanger peace. The NAACP consultants have pointed out vigorously- that under I such a provision, England might, I for example, say that conditions in India or Nigeria or the British West Indies, are exclusively domes tic matters, or the. United .States might say that the perpetuation of lynching or segregation, which cause colored peoples of the world today to distrust the United Nations are exclusively domestic matters To take it out of the realm of race, another Hitler might arise using anti-Semitism or some other form of bigotry and elevate himself to power and thus endanger peace by bringing about another war by claiming that this was purely n do mestic matter NAAC/’ consult ants are urging that this section either be eliminated altogether or very greatly modified by a specific but unequivocal definition of what is termed domestic and what is termed a situation affecting world peace One of the high points of the meeting of consultants was on May 15th when Mrs Bethune made a most moving appeal that the future of not only American Negroes but all oppressed peoples must oe one of the paramount concerns of the In I ternational Organization URGES RECONSIDERATION OK C. S. PI.AN TO DENT COI.OMAI.S INDEPENDENCE New York—Wires urging the A merican delegation to reconsider the indicated plan to oppose the prom ise of independence to colonial peo ples were sent simultaneously today by the NAACP to Edward R Stet_ tinius chairman, the American dele gation. and to Commander Harold E Stassen, United Nations Confer ence Over the signature of Walter White, NAACP consultant the mes sage read; "Permit me to express hope indi cations reported today’s New York Times are without foundation that United States delegation will oppose promising independence to colonial peoples. Such a stand, whatever its reasons, would be interpreted as negation of all our statements that this is a war being fought for the freedom of all peoples. The peo._ pie of China and Russia whose dele gations at the San Francisco Con ference have urged independence will interpret our action as s!ding a -gainst them and with Great Brit ain and France who hold huge colon ial empires. Furthermore, the col., ored peoples of Asia, Africa, the West Indies, South America and the United States will interpret this as determination of whites of the world to deny freedom to colored peoples. May I very vigorously urge recon sideration of the American Delega tion’s position if the report is cor rect that the United States Delega tion is going to vote agairst the promising of independence.” DECISION PENDING IN SOI TH CAROLINA TEACHERS- SALARY CASE Columbia. S. C.—In the teachers salary case of Albert Thompson vs the Richland County School Com missioners, NAACP attorneys Edw ard R. Dudley and Arthur D Shor es of Birmingham Alabama, brought out under cross examination of the board members and the superintend ent of schools that despite aboli_ tion of differentials based on color in 1941. such schedules still obtain today. The case was taken under advisement by Federal .Tudge J Waties Waring in the United Stat es Western District Court of South Carolina Thompsoni a teacher in the Book er Washington Heights elementary school filed a class suit against the Board in February seeking a dec laratory judgment and injunction restraining the board from paying less salary to Negro school teachers and principals possessing substan tially equal qualifications. exper. ience and training than to white teachers solely on account c-f race and color During the trial of the case. Superintendent Flora admitted that prior to 1941 there was a dif ference in salaries based upon race with Negroes getting less. How ever he attempted to justify the present difference in salary on the basis of teacher availability. The school board maintained that the salary schedule based on race was abolished in 1941 and since that time all teachers were paid on an individual basis. Attorneys Dud ley and Shores brought out the fact that no matter how qualified were Negro teachers and principals, sal aries were always far below that of less qualified whites. Salaries ol $437 per month for white principals and $288 per month for assistants were cited in contrast to $260 per month for a Negro principal hold, ing a Masters degree from Colunt. bia with over 20 years teaching ex perience. No assistants were pro vided in the latter instance. The recertification plan recently passed in South Carolina govern ing teachers salaries is base on: (1) years of experience; (2) educational qualifications; (3) teachers' rating on the national teachers examin ation. mandatory now by statute. The good faith in which the plan is being administeredj was questioned by Dudley. Poetic Corner (by Leonard Ewing) SADNESS AT HEART The hour of sorrow has come at last, When my beloved will least at last— I have admired her. all these years I've smiled with her and comfort, ed her fears— For when she was in trouble and in doubt I'd cheer her up and she’d sing and shout.

Series D-43 WFA Invent* New Cotton Sampling Device Here’s something new in the sampling of cotton. Scientists in the War Food administration have in vented a device for getting better samples of cotton and getting them more cheaply. At regular intervals during the ginning of a bale of cotton this device takes a small but uniform amount of cotton out of the stream that is going into the bale. All these small amounts of cotton taken together make a truly representative sample of the bale. One of these uniform samples can be used to show to anyone who is interested in the bale of cotton. The usual custom in the cotton trade at the present time is to have samples cut from the bale when ever there is a prospective change in ownership of the cotton. That, of course, means that after a few sales that the bale is disfigured and some of the cotton is lost. Besides that, such samples fre quently are not truly representative of the contents of the bale. Unless the cotton is exceptionally uniform, the sample may be cut from the poorer parts of the bale, or it may be cut from the better cotton in the bale. Rubber Thread Clothing Needs Careful Washing Wash clothing made of rubber thread, such as foundation gar ments and suspenders, with mild soap and warm water. Handle gently and stretch as little as pos sible when wet. Rinse several times. Dry in a cool, airy place away from stoves, radiators, or sunlight. If any garments must be ironed, keep the iron only moderately warm, and use it as little as possible. To dry a girdle quickly, roll it in a dry cloth and fold over lengthwise so the garters will not cut the gar ment. Unroll and hang to dry. Repair breaks with a patch or darn as soon as possible. Be care ful not to cut the rubber thread with the needle. Do not use fine thread, because that is likely to cut the rubber. Allow three-fourths of an inch margin of mend around the spot you are mending. Extension Cords Extension cords usually are not recommended, because it is danger ous to fasten them closely to base boards or wall. It may be neces sary to use them, however, now that materials for installing new outlets are limited. If so, inspect an exten sion cord from time to time to be sure it has not frayed or worn thin. Plug an extension cord in an out let—never attach it permanently. If you run the cord for a way around the room, attach it to the base board with rubber or fiber-insulated fasteners. Run it around door cas ings—never across a doorway, over steam or hot-water pipes, or over hot-air registers. Never run a cord where it will trip someone, where it will be walked on, or where furni ture may be moved over it. If the covering is worn off the wires, re sult may be a short circuit ... a fire ... or dangerous electrical shocks. _ I King Yuen Cafe • CHOP SUEY— 201014 V. 24th St. JAckKon 8570 Open from 2 p m. until Sam AMERICAN & CHINESE DISHES DRINKING IT CAN BE DONE Thousands hirt learned from me how I broke the whiskey spell.
