The Negro in Latin America By Harold Preece WHAT ABOUT TRUMAN’S PLEDGE TO PUERTO RICO? Our Negro brothers of Puert Rico didn’t cheer too much wher. President Truman appointed Juc ge William Hastie as governor c the neighboring Virgin Island; even though they were glad to se a colored man appointed to th position as such. They were wondering wiie: President Tru • an meant to keej a certain promise that he mad to them, citizens of a captive ns tion he’d in subjection by An.er: can imperialism They were woi dering also if Judge Hastie wa not mavbe being u>ed by the Tri man administration as a front fo that imperialism. How they felt is pretty wp! summed up by an article whic: ' appeared recently in a fi; e litti bulletin, the Americas, publishe by the Council for Pan America:. Democracy in New York. I want my readers to share this articl and here it goes: What has happened to the ad ministration’s bill offering tv Puerto Rican people an opportur ity to determine their future re latiors with the United States After President Truman's recen* message to Congress, it was gen erally assumed (a) that such f bill would be drafted and intrr duced in Congress with adminip tration sponsorship; lb) that ttu bill, recognizing that statehoo and ‘dominion’ statue are withou substa :tial support either in Co* gress or in the Island, would put the choice clearly between inde pendence and continued colonial ism: and ic) that hearings cn the b 11 would be held in the Senatr soon nft®r tve f**st of the - n?r.

TRUMAN PLAYS POSSUM But there has been no White House statement to the effect that Prsident Truman will support the Tydings Marcantonio independence measure and accept it as a substi tute for »ome form of plebiscite There has only teen a silent ac ceptance of Senator’s announce ment that no hearngs on the Puer to Rican question are to be held. At the same time, and from various quarters, comes a revival of the old campaigns for the re peal of all the social and labor le gislation passed in the Island dur ing the Roosevelt decade. The New York Herald Tribune ran a whole 3eries of fantastic front-page sto ries by one Emmet Crozier who ias just returned from Puerto Ri co w'here he made a study of eco nomic and political conditions. Mr Jrozier’s findings have a suspici ous resemblance to those of the Ball Committee of the House. US Help Makes Collectivism in Puer to Rico Look Profitable. Puerto Rico is in Full Swing of Experi nent in Collectivism Islands Tre asury is Rich in Rum Tax Million - But the Trend is Toward Collect ivism. Mr .Crozier is quite sshockec by some of his own revelations: "Public money has taken over the lower and light systems. A com munications authority is trying tc ouy the telephone company from 3osthenes Behn for the people Public money is building factor es operating sugar mills, buying ■o-4 pirei jo sajos jo spurr-o' •? he big sugar growers and redis ributing them among the people— etc”. But Mr Crozier’s most interest ing revelation is the ff < * that the Democratic National Comm ittee recently sent Judge Welburn Maycock, ine of its legal advisors ‘o make a survey of the Puerto Rico situation. There were signs vhen Judge Maycock left Puerto Rico that he had been not only mpressed but astonished by what he had found here Judge May cock'g findings checked closely with the recent report of the house (Bell) subcommittee's investigat ing Puerto Rico affairs" Now the opponents , of Puerto Paean independence argue that without US aid the Puerto Rican people will starve. There are many Puerto Ricans, patriots who hate the shamg of colonial status, who have been taught to fear indepen dence by that argument. But the Bell Committee develop ed a program for starvation tinder colonialism through diversion of the rum taxes from the Insular Treasury' and the repeal of all the recent legislation which has some what mitigated the Is and's econj mic misery. According to Mr. Crozier, Judge Maycock’s findings agree with the ones of the Bell Committee- And Judge Maycock was no free lance sightseer but a representative cf the Democratic National Comm ittee. Have Judge Maycock and the' Democratic National Committee changed President Truman's mind : about Puerto Rico's right to free- \ dom? MOVE TO GRANT LINCOLN U. (MO.) $462,500 FOR DORMITORIES BCGUN Jefferson City, Mo., February 10, 1946—The Appropriations Committee of the House of Rep resentatives branch of the Miss ouri Legislature has approved a grant to State Supported insti tutions with S426.500 for Lincoln University -(Missouri) to provide dormitories primarily for veter ans. The bill, if passed by the up per branch of the legislature, car ries with it a provision by which the school must match this sum to be used exclusively for resi dence halls. It is estimated the funds, when matched, would be sufficient to provide housing for 300 students The urgenev for the need of the proposed facilities is obviated by the competely filled campus re sidence halls and the overflow in the city and the rejection of ap proximately 200 applicants for admissian to the university. •For Greater Coverage ADVERTISE IN The Omaha GUIDE! - , es and R.

Self Regulliifion and Good Government Self-regulation means that the man in business regulates i his own conduct and the con duct of his help and his cus tomers while in his place of business in such a way that constituted officials have little to do about law enforcement and the correction of bad practices. There is a vast dif ference between a desire to observe the laws and a deter mination or desire to “cheat the law.” All licensed beer retailers are aware of Self-Regulation and the great majority be lieve in its principles. Fre quent observations and sug gestions are made bv the Ne braska Committee for better operating practices, and in most instances, retailers read ily follow suggestions. If a retailer does not, representa tions are made to the licens ing and law enforcement authorities who will see to it that the offending licensee either corrects his faults or is deprived of his license. Such a vigilant program as sures your city or community of reputable retailers, who sell beer in a legal and whole some manner. NEBRASKA COMMITTEE United States Brewers Foundation Charles E. Sandall.
