1730 Fulton St.
Brooklyn 13. 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 ”

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

The good faith in which the plan is

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.
But the dreaded hour has come—
around—
I sit and wonder not making a
sound.
For I know, I must get use to this
I know'. I’ll miss that heavenly
kiss.
I use to think of her as a child,
But she always was so tender and

I know I might never get a date.
But thinking of her was worth the
wait.
So now when the day has come,

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.
