A BILLION DOLLARS LOANED BY OUR GOVERNMENT TO THE BANKS AND RAILROADS OF THE COUNTRY THRU THE R. F. C. According to Its Recent Official Report—Wants the U. S. to Pay the Cost of the World War—Debts Owed This Country—End of Reparations. Washington, D. C.—The Reconstruction Finance Corp. approved loans aggregating $1,054,814,486, more than half its entire authorized capitalization, in first five months of its existence, its quarterly report revealed, last week Friday. That sum defects 5,084 loans to 4,196 institutions. The End of Reparations Red tape surrounding the settlement of the German reparations question has been cut with a vengeance. The nations assembled at Leumann have reduced the indemnities Germany is called to pay 30 drastically as to leave no lingering doubt that the reparations controversy is at Report, submitted to Congress, disclosed additional contingent and miscellaneous commitments of $183,900,000 entered into since it began operation last Feb. 2. Loans actually made during the period were $805,150,006, while repayments of $76,488,198 left $728,661,807 outstanding on the corporation's books as of June 30. Loans totaling $642,789,000 have been authorized to 3,600 banks and trust companies, while 38 railroads have been or will be benefited by advances of $213,882,724. Other authorized loans included $74,000,000 to 63 insurance companies, $63,000,000 to 63 insurance companies, $52,000,000 to 418 building and loan associations, $74,000,000 to 51 mortgage loan companies, $1,270,000 to five joint stock land banks, $6,000,000 to ten live stock credit corporations and $405,000 to three credit unions. More than $27,000,000 of the advances promised or made were to closed banks and railroads in receivership. Of these the report said, $27,398,350 was authorized to aid in the reorganization of 316 closed banks and $10,359,000 was authorized to five railroad receivers. Not one of the thousands of borrowers was specifically named in the report. U. S. to Pay Cost of World War. Great Britain, France and Italy owe approximately 90 per cent of the war debts due this government, the remainder being obligations of Belgium, Greece, Austria and other central European and Baltic countries. The impression prevailed in official circles that there is little likelihood of settlements until a short time before Dec. 15, when the next important payments to the United States fall due. Senator Hirschman (Repub.) California, predicted the reparations agreement would be followed after the election in this country with renewed demands for war debt cancellation. "There will probably be a deep and significant silence by the administration until after the elections," Johnson said off the floor, "but then those who believe America should receive its due must be on guard." Chairman David A. Reed of the Senate military affairs committee, who advised that a surname had not changed his attitude and cancellation of war debts" and predicted that Congress would continue to oppose it. Sprung on Congress. Spring on Congress. Senator Johnson also said: "I announced a year ago when the moratorium was sprung upon a surprised and suspending Congress that it was the beginning of cancellation. We'll hear much from our internationalists in the future—probably after election—about the fairness now of cancellation of what is owing the United States. It means that the United States must pay the ultimate cost of the great war just as the moratorium has meant, as events have demonstrated, that the overburdened American people must pay in heavy taxes what European debtors of ours should pay. Congress must be reckoned with in cancellation, but having so easily failed Congress once with the moratorium, it is probably expected the same doubtful procedure may again be effective." Washington, D. C., July 9.—The amount of war debts owed the United States by the various foreign countries was listed by the Armenia, $19,019,107; Austria, $22,752,217; Belgium, $400,680- 000; Czechoslovakia, $167,071- 023; Estonia, $16,466,102; Finland, $8,604,000; France, $3,863- 650,000; Great Britain, $4,398- 000,000; Greece, $31,165,000; Hungary, $1,908,560; Italy, $2- 650,000; Luxembourg, $88,664; Lithuania, $6,197,632; Norway, $352,627; Poland, $206,057,000; Rumania, $63,860,560; Russia, $317,953,006; Jugoslavia, $61- 625,000; total, $11,598,501,461. This list does not include amounts owed by Germany on account of the army of occupation. The End of Reparations Red tape surrounding the settlement of the German reparations question has been cut with a vengeance. The nations assembled at Lausanne have reduced the indemnities Germany is called for, but no lingering doubt that the reparations controversy is at an end. The amount agreed upon, the nominal sum of 3,000,000,000 marks or about $750,000,000, is but a shadow of the vast damages the alled powers once thought Germany ought to pay. First they demanded from their conquered enemy more gold than there was in the world. At one time Germany was asked to pay $125,000,000,000; later $6,500,000,000. After numerous disagreements among the powers, the Dawes commission and the Young Commission on the job. Though each subsequent study of the reparations question succeeded in reducing the amount to be asked of Germany, dissatisfaction still attended all attempts to collect. PRESIDENT'S REPORT.

WESLEY "QUITS COLD!" The New President of Wilberforce University Resigns After Only One Month in Office—The University's Debts Cutter Nearly $900,000 (Special to The Gazette) Wilberforce, O—Dr. Charles H. Wesley, Howard University professor, elected president of Wilberforce University by a unanimous vote of the board of trustees, June 7, '32, to succeed President Gilbert N. Jones, submitted his resignation to Bishop R. C. Ransom, president of the board of trustees, last week Wednesday. The resignation was not announced, however, until last week Friday. The Bishop appointed F. A. McGinnis, vice-president as acting president. A special meeting of the executive board is to be called at a meeting to fill the vacancy. The resignation came as a distinct surprise to the officials of the school, as Dr. Wesley had completed arrangements to move here. He accompanied his resignation with the following statement: "After a careful investigation at Wilberforce and in full consideration of all varying and conflicting elements within and immediate circumstances of the I am convinced that I should not connect myself with Wilberforce, as its president, at this time." The new president's sudden decision to resign was undoubtedly prompted by the University's discouraging financial outlook. He listed its indebtedness as totaling in round figures, $288,000, including $125,000 in mortgages, $38,000 in back salaries due teachers, and the remainder in current indebtedness. He paid $25,000 due Bishop Joshua H. Jones on a personal note and a bill for something over $500 for milk furnished the school. It is reported that Dr. R. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia, will succeed Dr. Wesley as president of Wilberforce U. The new superintendent of the university, Prof. Howard Gregg, will be paid $5,000 a year. He is also the president of the State Board of Control at Columbus) laid the law down to Mr. Gregg telling him that he must build up the C. N. I., that he must let the "Church side" alone, and pay strict attention to the state work. He was told there were objections to his election on account of his not being a citizen of Ohio, that there were 27 applicants, most of them citizens of Ohio, educated in Ohio and paying taxes in this state, but since the University had a criminal record board had selected him, they would confirm his election. Bishop Jones' physical condition is pitiful: bent over, walking with a cane, one eye closed, and much thinner in body. PROMPTLY ELIMINATED The Objectionable Term in "Tom-Tom", When Requested to Do So —Shirley Graham Greatly Peeved as a Result. Cleveland, J. June 27, 1932. Mr. Lawrence Higgins, The Laurence Studios, 3433 Carnegie Ave., Cleveland, O. Dear Sir:—Yesterday, I learned that the maliciously insulting term, "nigger", is in the third act of "Tom-Tom". It is much more objectionable in some of the vicious terms directed against other people. For instance, "boch", for the German; "sheeny", for the Jew; "mick", for the Irish; "dago", for the Italian; etc. All synonymous and very insulting terms. The use of that most objectionable term in "Tom-Tom" will cause the loss of thousands of dollars in the matter of attendance. No decent, self-respecting colored person attends an entertainment of any kind to be grossly insulted and ridiculed, especially within the sight and hearing of thousands of members of other groups, to say nothing of their own. Using my paper, I have done about all in my power, in recent weeks, to encourage a large attendance upon Stadium opera, especially the evenings that "Tom-Tom" is presented, and am very anxious to see your efforts a financial as well as an artistic success throut. Do not allow a thing, like the one to which I have called your attention, to so militate against the financial success of your splendid undertaking either now or New York City where such a great insult will also be resented promptly. Sincerely. Mrs. Leone Bray and daughter, Lois, pianist and solist, respectively, of the Harmonique Five, left Friday for Saranac Lake and other eastern points. The C. N. and I. Quintet, with whom the Brays were travelling for a season of six weeks, were also Member, Real Sykes, Robert Butkin, Wm. Holloway, ther Hawthorne, Chas, Powell. The combination was under the supervision of Bishop W. E. Holman of Mississippi. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS A NEGRO IN GRAND OPERA A NEGRO IN GRAND OPERA REST OF THE CAST OF SOLOISTS IN "AIDA" ALL OF OTHER RACES AND OF INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION. Bledsoe Crosses an American Color-Line More Than a Century Old—Appears Most Successfully in the Great and Spectacular Opera—Local Press' Comment. The "voluntary" production of the great opera, "Aida," Sunday evening, at the Cleveland stadium, included Jules Bledsoe, a splended baritone soloist, as "Amonraso. His outstanding success in "Tom-Tom" made this possible. Score one for him, Cleveland, Dr. Ernest Lert and Mr. Lawrence Higgins, the last two the producers of Stadium Grand Opera in Cleveland, in recent weeks. The cast of singers was all white, except Bledsoe, and his voice was acclaimed one of the think of it! he appear most successfully indeed and, with little or no time in which to prepare for the part. Rah! for Jules Bledsoe! Local Daily News报纸 Comment. J. C. Dasbach, music critic of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, had the following in Monday morning's issue of that paper: "Cleveland's second season of summer grand opera came to a close in Cleveland stadium last night with a magnificent performance of Verdi's spectacular "Aida." In the center of it all was Jules Bledsoe, the Negro baritone, first man of his age ever to sing the role of Amonsoar on an American opera stage. Bledsoe, a great portrayal of the captive from the time he stepped from the center of the group of captives brought back by the triumphant Rhadames, Bledsoe held the audience in his grasp. When he was done there was a roar of applause. The performance of Bledsoe was all the more remarkable because he went on with scarcely more than 24 hours' notice. Decision was not made until late Friday night. He was not asked to assume the role until Saturday morning. Sang Role in London. "There were several hours of intensive coaching with Carle Peroni, who conducted last night's performance. Bledsoe had sung the role in London. Last night he sang it as if it were the thing he had come to Cleveland to do. Bledsoe was not alone, however, in making face performance, and Vane had another success as Aida, the role that had won her ovations before in the stadium both this season and last. "Pasquale Ferrara was the Rhadames. He, too, repeated his triumphs of other performances in Cleveland's two seasons of outdoor opera. Edwina Eustis, as Ammeris, was admirable. Then there were Foster Miller as the King, Armund Sjovik as Ramphis, Frank Bontemple as Masoner and Helen Hayes as the Priestess. It was a well-balanced cast, and the performance glittered with all the glories of ancient Egypt. "As the last curtain fell on the 1932 summer opera season praise came from many quarters for the productions directed by Laurence A. Higgins and Dr. Ernst Lert, co-directors of Laurence Productions, Inc. "Thomas L. Sidio, chairman of the Cleveland Committee for Summer Opera, said: "Cleveland has again seen grand opera on a grander scale. We owe a debt of gratitude not only to the ability of Dr. Lert and Laurence Higgins but to their courage. It was no small thing to present opera on the gigantic scale of this season. In a year like this, we will all look forward to the season of 1933 with increased anticipation." "Mary Garden sent her congratulations to Mr. Higgins by wireless from the steamship Bremen, on which she is returning to Europe after having come to this country expressly to sing two performances of 'Carmen.' She said: 'You should be very, very proud of this new operatic thrill which you have given to the world.'" By Elrick B. Davis. More than 10,000 persons heard Jules Bledsoe last (Sunday) night in the Stadium's opera's finale. The great Negro baritone, original "Old Man River" in "Show Boat," who came to Cleveland from London to create the leading role of Voodoo Man in "Tom-Tom," sang the role of Amonasoar in "Aida" in Appalachia, but since "Aida" was first produced, white baritones have blacked themselves up to sing the role. Bledsoe's singing it was the first time a Negro has sung that part anywhere in grand opera in THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and compounded with any will immortalely established in the NEWEST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans.

Wesley, the new President of Wilberforce University, lasted just one month. It seems that the "legacy" left him by former President Gilbert N. Jones and his father, former Bishop Joshua H. Jones, was too overwhelmingly great for him to stand. So he "quit" the presidency "cold." proton! Too bad! --- Segregation as the sequel of slavery is history repeating itself.-Prof. Carter G. Woodson. That may and may not be true, but one thing sure, Booker T. Washington in his notorious "separate as the fingers of the hand" Atlanta, Ga., speech, delivered many years ago, started the first concerted effort throut this country, with headquarters in the South, to segregate our people in the North. And the effort has steadily increased, even "jim-crow Negroes" in this section promoting it, as a rule for selfish, personal reasons. GOOD WORK. The Maryland court of appeals has reversed the sentence of death passed on Euel Lee ("Orphan Jones"), Jan. 28, '32. The I. L. D. is entitled to credit for this victory. Lee was railroaded to the death sentence in lower courts of Maryland. In its "release" of July 9, '32, the I. L. D. says: "The significance of the Euel Lee case lies in the fact that from the very first the I. L. D. defense lawyers have demanded that 'Negroes' be permitted to serve on the jury. The records of the case show this demand and they also show that the judges admitted discriminating against Negroes by acknowledging that during his twenty-six years on the bench he had never selected a 'Negro' for jury service. At the new trial, the issue of 'Negroes' on juries in southern courts will be raised so loud that its reverberation will be heard around the world." Our long-time friend and confrere, Editor Wm. H. Steward of the Louisville (Ky.) Baptist, will celebrate his 85th birthday, July 26, '32. When he was 75 years of age, our people of his city gave him a public testimonial and banque, something never done before or since in Louisville. Each year, Editor Steward's family celebrates his birthday. When he was 80 years of age, he gave him a public reception, something they will duplicate at the Steward family residence, July 26, '32. Our good friend writes The Gazette that this year there will no invitations issued thru our papers but that he could not resist the temptation to write "the few of our old boys (editors) still in the trenches." Among the latter, we are proud to say, he places the editor of The Gazette. Many more returns of the day, dear old friend—Wm. H. Steward, editor and publisher of the Louisville (Ky.) Baptist, dean of the Afro-American press. Jules Bledsoe's outstanding success in both performances of "Tom-Tom" was what secured him a place, Sunday evening, in the presentation of the great spectacular grand opera, "Aida." To say that he duplicated his splendid success in the two performances of "Tom-Tom" is putting it too mildly. He was an even greater star of the presentation, Sunday evening, than he was of the two performances of the pageant, "Tom-Tom." All of the local daily publications are agreed as to this. Never before in the history of this country has one of our artists been given the opportunity that Bledsoe enjoyed, last Sunday evening. He was a principal character in one of the greatest grand operas, all of the other soloists of which were identified with the other race. His com- manding success, before an audience that numbered more than 10,000 people, is one of the most encouraging things, from a racial standpoint, that has ever occurred. When the late-lamented Bert Williams, the greatest of comedians, first made his appearance with Ziegfeld's Follies, it gave great encouragement and opened the way to others of our artists, for Bert was certainly an artist in his line. Now comes Jules Bledsoz blazing the way into opera, grand opera if you please! It is something very pleasing and encouraging indeed to all of our people through the country. Slowly but surely we are progressing. Witness the great success, greater this year than ever before, of our young school and college athletes who are sure to be well represented in the approaching Olympic games at Los Angeles, Calif. LERT, HIGGINS, SUTTON. Dr. Ernest Lert and Mr. Lawrence Higgins, the promoters of Stadium Grand Opera in Cleveland in recent weeks, are entitled to all the praise they have received, and more. They did a wonderful job in spite of miserable weather and many other drawbacks. From our people they are entitled to an extra meed of praise because of the incorporation in their program of the so-called opera, "Tom-Tom," which, if it did nothing else, served as a stepping stone for Jules Bledsoe, exceptionally fine baritone soloist, to move into the ranks of grand opera stars which he did, Sunday evening, in the character of "Amonasro" in the grand opera of "Aida." For this exceptional and very satisfying racial advance in the musical world at least, we are indebted to Dr. Lert and Mr. Higgins, principally the latter, whose outstanding friendship for the race has been wonderfully demonstrated from the very inception of this season's Stadium Grand Opera presentation in Cleveland. There is, however, one person who seems to have been overlooked by the local daily and weekly press, whose great work has had much to do with the success of grand opera in this city, and that is Mr. Rodney Sutton, of the well-known advertising firm of Miskell and Sutton, publicity representative also for Cleveland's latest Stadium Grand Opera. It was his great work that had almost to much to do with the splendid attendance upon Stadium Grand Opera here in Cleveland, in recent weeks, as the great work of Dr. Lert and Mr. Higgins. The Lert-Higgins-Sutton combination was great. Prime Sport News Chocolate-Berg Contest. New York City.—The 10-round bout, between Kid Chocolate, Afro-Cuban lightweight, and Jack "Kid" Berg of England, scheduled for Monday night in Madison Square Garden bowl, was indefinitely postponed, last Saturday, when Berg reported sick. Berg was immediately examined by physicians of the New York state athletic commission, and a new date set for the match. He said that he had not been feeling well for three days and did not want to show himself in New York. He was booked to meet Young Firpo in Philadelphia Monday night and would like to win this fight before tackling Chocolate. Whether this will be possible is problematical. Chocolate has signed to meet Eddie Shea in Chicago on July 28 for the junior lightweight title and after that he plans to leave immediately for France, where many lucrative engagements await him. He feels that if Berg can meet Firpo Monday, he should be through with out of these difficulties is what confronts Johnston today. He hopes to adjust the matter so that Berg and Chocolate can meet at an early date, but present indications do not offer much encouragement. Beat Up U. S. Boxing Judge! Bear Up U. S. Batting Team Marseilles, France—Dr. James V. Sparks, president of the American Legion Paris Post, was dragged from beside a Marseilles ring to the he was serving as judge, Sunday, and beaten up by a mob of fight fans. The outbreak led the fight between Al Brown and the "Kid" Francis in the fifteenth round. Club swinging police and soldiers saved Dr. Sparks from the mob. The American was severely injured. The bout had stirred up the keenest interest for Francis, a young Italian who has fought a number of times in the U. S. is a great favorite here. Brown is a Panama "Negro", recognized as bantamweight champion. The bout was closely fought all the way. Francis took an early lead, but Brown finished stronger. At the end, one judge and the referee split their ballots. Dr. Sparks held the deciding vote but was unable to cast it as the crowd, knowing he would vote for Brown, swarmed into the ring. The referee then declared that "no contest. It was here in France, at arrives, we go, so that Champa "Gorilla" Jones was deliberately robbed of his title, and it looks very much as if there was an attempt to do the same thing to Champion Al Brown because he undoubtedly won the contest with Francis. Among some of the prominent visitors attending Miss Shirley Graham's opera, "Tom-Tom," were her mother and father, Rev. and Mrs. D. A.

(93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's letter to the Laws局, which the editor had enclosed with member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the occurrences of such privileges, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the persecutor in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. --- PROTEST! PROTEST!! To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines have been used to laureate the few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.

Pierce of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch was endeavoring, last week, to enlist the assistance of organizations and individuals in an effort to secure an official investigation of the very distressing drowning of Rudolph Burns, age 18, as a Gordon class alum. He is opposing the local Apartment House Owners Association's effort to move the "Hollywood tenderloin" district into the west end of Wards 11 and 12. Everybody should help him. Mary Branch as the "mammy" in "Tom-Tom," last Saturday night, at the stadium was an outstanding presentation and pleased greatly. Bledsoe, King and Grist and the Misses Murray and Curran repeated their splendid successes of the previous showing of the so-called "opera" when the attendance was announced as 14,000. Financially, "Tom-Tom" was the best paying production of the several, it is said. Attendance, 16,000, Saturday evening—the largest of the stadium grand opera season. The penalty for biting policemen was fixed at 60 days in the Warrensville Workhouse when Miss Susie Mapole, age 25, E. 38th St., was arraigned on that charge.

John McSweeney, state welfare director, Columbus. A. J. Cunningham, one of Cleveland's young attorneys, who sometime ago was engaged in an effort to secure the elimination, from the County Public Library, of a little publication known as "My Very First Little Arithmetic Book" in which there was a very objectionable illustration (from a race viewpoint), was successful in having the page with the insulting illustration removed from all the copies of the book thru Miss Freeman, librarian. The book was being circulated thru the County Library system to the various schools through the County.

Our readers will please The Gazette greatly if they will patronize The May Co. in preference to any other store of the kind in the city when it comes to making purchases that can be secured in that store. If any large business house in the city is entitled to our trade it sure is The May Co. Tell your friends and acquaintances. Current rumor has it that the local Apartment House Owners' Association of this city is trying to have the city authorities locate the "demimonde" of the "Hollywood district" in the west end end of the "Roaring Third" police precinct, as if the location of the city is not had enough now. Our local church organizations, leading men and women ought to stop such a movement pronto. The flurry in several of our leading newspapers over the announced intention of several prominent members of the great Chicago police force over Wilberforce University, in addition to its state department of that institution, making of all a "jim-crow sate controlled institution of learning," is really unnecessary. There is positively no danger, for several good reasons, of the "Buckeye States" ever making such a thing impossible. An attempt to change them would undoubtedly meet with failure. THE GREEN BOLT. There is no denying the facts given in the statement of K. P. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of New Orleans, a Louisiana Republican leader, published elsewhere in this paper, but there are good reasons for questioning the wisdom of the position he has taken in bolting the Hoover nomination as we shall endeavor to indicate in what follows: There are but two parties, the Republican and the Democratic, that are really in the contest for the Presidency. Either a Republican or a Democrat will be elected chief executive of this great nation, but it will be practically loss of one's vote to support any other than the Republican or the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. As we all know, President Herbert Hoover is the Republican candidate and Franklin Roosevelt of New York and Georgia is the Democratic candidate. As Mr. Green well shows, the Republican party, its leader and its leadership of today are open to a great deal of criticisms from our race standpoint for many important and really vital omissions and missions. On the other hand, we have to be on the defensive in the rance of the most serious nature, and no help, from the national Democratic party and its leadership. Franklin Roosevelt had the unanimous support of southern Democracy in the recent Democratic convention at Chicago. Southern Democracy, which controls national Democracy, is responsible for mob-violence and lynching, disfranchisement, jim-crow" cars, segregation and most mass incarcerations of all and major violations of about all of our citizen rights, and privileges, in its section of this country as well as this section. Its commanding and baneful influence in the North, even under Republican administrations, is known and felt by every member of the race in this section of the country. Southern Democracy also controls absolutely every national Democratic administration, as well as all state administration in that section of the country. The House of Representatives, like Wilson administrations are cases in point. Badly as we have been treated, particularly under the Coolidge and Hoover administrations, we can only liken the Republican party to go to the support of the Democratic party in federal (national) elections to "jumping from the frying pan into the fire" in case of the success of the latter. We cannot help ourselves by throwing our support to the greater of the two evils, because no one can be more likely to be a race standpoint, the Democratic party under the control of southern Democracy, as it is and always has been, is infinitely worse for us. Unlike other groups or classes of Americans who become dissatisfied with the Republican party or its federal candidates, we have "no place to go" when desirous of bolting the party in federal elections—those for presidential electors and for members of The Congress. It sure is not the part of wisdom to aid the party that is controlled by the element of democracy. What causes or influences about all of our citizenship troubles, and forsake the party, the only one that has helped us, even the at times wotfully neglecting and even insulting us, in this day and time.

(Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C.) WNUI Service. Washington, D. C.)—WNU Service. POLITICAL leaders in Shantung announce that they will again acknowledge the central Chinese government at Nanking in matters of taxation, despite reports to the contrary. Shantung has recently shown independence of Nanking. Shantung is the Holy Land of China because it was the birthplace and burial place of Confucius. Thousands of Chinese pilgrims visit the province's numerous temples every year. It also is a beehive of business. The Grand canal, the muddy, moody Hwang-ho or Yellow river, Twentieth-century-built railwheels, railbarrows and strong coole backs handle large volumes of commerce destined to all parts of the world. Thirty million people live in Shantung, which is about the size of Iowa. Most of them inhabit villages thickly sprinkled over the landscape, but the province also boasts large cities that have figured prominently in international politics and business. Taihan, the capital, is a city of about 350,000 inhabitants situated on the plains of Shantung. Although nearly 200 miles from the sea, Taihan is an important commercial center. Small native boats navigate canals that connect the city with the Yellow and Hsiào-Ching rivers nearby. Perhaps more important, however, are Taihan's railroad transportation facilities, for it is here that the railroad which penetrates the Shantung peninsula connects with the trunk line joining Pelting, Tientsin and Shanghai. Teinan's Flour and Peanut Oil. Products from the western grain fields reach Tsian. Grain is stored in Tsian warehouses and milled in Tsian mills, while large quantities of peanuts and tobacco from nearby Shantung plantations are also shipped there for disposal. Flour mills and peanut oil factories are among the city's larger industries. Some of the peanuts are cousins to American tubers that were introduced into Shantung by American missionaries. And the tobacco, some of which was introduced by American tobacco companies, might claim relationship to the leaves that had a part in bringing fame to Sir Walter Raleigh. In Tsian homes and factories fine Chinese rugs are woven. When long hair was the crowning glory of the American girl and speedy roadsters undid the patient strokes of the boudou comb, Tsian prospered making hairnets. But each American girl who, in recent years, has emerged from a barber shop with shorn locks unwittingly did her bit to cripple this industry. Tsinan is more than a thousand years older than the Christian era. Guldes will tell the traveler that the city was once situation 25 miles from its present site and was moved piece by piece by a continuous line of men stretching from the old to the new site. From remote times, the natives have believed that an imaginary chain from the nearby Pagoda hill keeps Tsinan from blowing away in the wind blasts off the Shantung plain, or being washed away by the frequent floods of the murky Yellow river. That sinister stream is about six miles north of the city. Two walls surround three sides of the city. The inner wall is an irregular square with many gates. The outer wall flares outward on a zigzagging course from the northeast and northwest corners of the square wall. Until 1906, Tsian was a strange city to foreign traders. Then it voluntarily opened its doors. Most of the foreign trading is done at Shang-pu, a small commercial town west of the walls. There the traveler finds wide westernlike streets and modern government and business buildings. There are natives there, too, but one is more likely to rub elbows with one of the 300 Americans in Shang-pu than inside the walls. Seeing Tsinan Afoot. In the quarter of a century that has elapsed since the Tsinan gates were opened, automobiles have traversed the few streets that are wide enough for their passage; a few modern stores have been wedged between native shops; and electric light bulbs dangle from corner posts. But off these wider streets, Tsinan is a "Chinese puzzle" of more slits between rows of low mud and stone houses. Only rickshaws, wheelbarrows and springless donkey carts traverse these passageways; and when they appear, pedestrians are pressed against flanking walls and into doorways. Travelers seeing Tsianan afoot stumble upon beggars, dodge rickshaws in the hands of careless noisy boys, and overwhelmed by the accumulation of odors from shops, restaurants and houses. The cries of vendors, the yelling and loud conversation of playing children and gossiping adults, all amid a cloud of dust is uninviting. Dust is unnecessary in Tsianan, for water is no luxury. Springs perpetually bubble at several places within the walls and a lake four miles in circumference occupies about one-third of the inner walled area. Tsianan is one of the most important Christian educational centers in China. The Shantung Christian university and numerous other mission schools are situated there. Native schools also dot the city, and there is a museum and a library. The museum displays a model of the capitol of the United States. Chefoo, China, is a city made famous by "Fickle Fashion." The Germans started the Chefoo hairstyle industry on a large scale, but the World war in Europe, and cheap hair and cheap labor in Asia, caused the industry to migrate to Shantung with Chefoo as headquarters. Although American women's money paid the wages of thousands of women and girls in and near Chefoo, when the hairstyle industry was flourishing, perhaps few of those American women could locate Chefoo on a map without considerable searching. The city lies on the north shore of the "Cape Cod" of China, which extends into the Yellow sea from the main portion of Shantung province, toward the middle section of Korea. If a line were drawn due west from Cincinnati, Ohio, through Denver, Colo., and continued across the Pacific, Chefoo would be one of the first Chinese cities the line would touch. Chefoo Is Large and Busy. Chefoo now ranks third among Shantung cities, with about 100,000 inhabitants. A large foreign settlement, with modern hotels, consular office buildings, and residences bordering wide, electrically-lighted streets, occupies a knob of land on the north. The adjoining quarter is congested. Narrow streets, winding through this portion of the town, are lined with squatty buildings, mostly of filmsy construction, but it is here that Chefoo bristles with business activity throughout the day. Stooped-shouldered coolies from neighborhood farms and villages trudge to the market place under loads nearly as large as those atop mules and donkeys. Other coolies tug at the handles of loaded Shantung wheelbarrows whose wheels are sometimes three feet high. There is little room in the lanelike thoroughfares for anything else, nevertheless the rickshaw boy draws his fairs at high speed, often forcing pedestrians to sidestep into children-filled doorways for safety. Through the Chefoo streets, all the products for export from the Chefoo neighborhood are carried to waiting cargo boats in the harbor. Apples, sweet potatoes, peanuts, wheat, cotton, corn, tobacco, pongie silk and hairnets are transported by vessels flying the flags of many nations. Cargoes for Chinese consumption are loaded on coastwise boats that make Chefoo a port of call. Junks that lazily float about in the harbor pick up short-hail shipping. Pongie silk and peanuts are among the more important Chefoo exports. Chefoo was classed as one of the unwalled, therefore unimportant, communities of China before 1862 when the port was opened to foreign shipping. Later a large portion of Shantung shipping passed through Chefoo and the city enjoyed a period of prosperity until 1904, when the Shantung railroad was completed and the port was forced to share commerce with ports the railroad touched. China's Atlantic City. Another shock came when the Tientain-Pukow railroad was completed in 1912. Tsingtao, a port on the southern coast of "Cape Cod," succeeded in getting railway connections, while Tshetao got only a promise of a connection. As a result Tsingtao gradually outgrew its northern competitor. The nearest railway station to Chefoo now is 200 miles to the southwest, between which bushes frequently run over a government-owned highway. Tsingtao is the Atlantic City of the China coast. Its climate is excellent, its golf courses are well constructed, and it boasts modern hotels, miles of the finest motor roads, and clean streets. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1932. Jacket or Brassiere-Top for Beach By CHERIE NICHOLAS By Charles S. Woodward 100 PREPAREDNESS is the word when it comes to going in for a season of swimming and sun-tanning during the summer vacation. Much of the pleasure and the benefit, too, for that matter, depends on having the right apparel together with all the accessories which add to the comfort of the occasion. As joyous, as highly colorful, even frivolous and sometimes eccentric and amusing as modern beach and swim fashions may appear to the casual onlooker, they are, after all, about as practical as common-sense designing can make them. To illustrate the point, consider the pajama suit to the left in the picture. To be sure it is immensely clever and picturesque and gaily colorful, in fact, it is an ornament to the landscape, but it is something more than all that, it is thoroughly practical. This two-piece is not an experiment or a model to merely catch the eye. It is an outgrowth of the need felt for some sort of a costume which can be worn over the one-piece bathing suit, which will look genteel and modest in going to and from the beach and which simply must slip on and off easily. However, in the little bolero or eton with separate pajamas made of silk or wool jersey which is a great favorite or of crinkly seerucker, of pique, NEW ROUGH CREPE By CHERIE NICHOLAS J. B. F. We are hearing so much in regard to anny blue and in fact of the whole range of blues, it seems only fair that a word be said in behalf of brown, for brown remains a great favorite with the smart set, especially touches of brown on light costumes. The ensemble in the picture adopts brown and orange for its color scheme. The frock which is made of one of the popular new rough-surfaced crepes is in burnt orange. It has a wide girdle-belt of brown velvetleen which sets a new high when it comes to waiwtlines. The large ball buttons are brown and the youthful jacket is of brown velveteen in the delightful light weight which is characteristic of this season's weaves. The fussy parasol of the era of rose jars, petticoats and fainting damosos, has returned, more restrained in design, perhaps, but as dainty and decorative as ever. Your Copy or an Acqu Parasols Back THE FASHION WEEK linen, or of some one or other of the smart striped materials (stripes are the rage this season) the problem is solved. Looking at the costume illustrated one appreciates the advantage of this model which has a little jacket to be worn or not, as one pleases, with pajamas so designed as to button or unbutton easily. The designful arrangement of the stripes adds to the attractiveness of this costume. Again, it is the practical question which is influencing designers to play up brassiere effects this season for both bathing suits and beach costumes. The basic idea in these brassiere devices is to get the greatest possible benefit from the sun's rays, and this is being accomplished by means of strap arrangements at the back. The form-fitting ensemble on the standing figure presents an interesting version of the brassiere mode. It is neatly tailored (tallored effects are chic this season) of a very attractive and serviceable dureme mesh of diagonal pattern, giving it the appearance of plique—and you know how smart dureme diagonals and pliques are! The modish brassiere-bodice accents the popular light-top vogue. The two straps which hold up the brassiere-like front join between the shoulders and become a single strap to hold the garment in place at the back. Although it does not show in the picture, this costume has a matching short jacket with sleeves, to wear when your sun tan shows signs of becoming sunburn. The dotted parasol is of durene mesh and is a charming adjunct, making its appeal to smart women who go beach promenade. DIAGONALS ARE IN FAVOR FOR SUMMER Anything that is diagonal in weave, diagonal in pattern or diagonal in cut has the approval of Paris these days. Criss-cross stripes are a success. They are used for every type of costume; sweaters are hand-knitted in striped patterns, blouses are made of diagonally striped silks, woolen dresses are cut of serges that show plainly their diagonal weave, tweed coats, in plain colors are cut on diagonal lines. Many of the new dresses and coats are made of vertically or horizontally striped fabrics, but are cut on the bias, so that the result is a diagonal stripe. The whole effect is one of slashing lines, but lines which make the figure look more slender than the old-fashioned stripe which "cut off" one's figure and had a tendency to make it look dummy. Beige Holds Place as an Outstanding Color Paris never fails to find new ways to use beige. This year beige was early predicted as one of the outstanding colors of the season, and Paris women are finding this prophecy come true. Beige silks and beige woolens are in great demand in Paris shops, and French dressmaking houses report a large percentage of their clients ordering many beige clothes for summer. This year's beige fashions are characterized by an alliance with some other color. The first beige costumes of the year--beige coats with black accessories--are still fashionable. New Silk Organdie Is Greeted With Delight The new silk orlidgie that will be seen everywhere this summer is truly a sheer delight. It is a little more sophisticated than its cotton sister and so will be welcomed by the more mature women who feel that an organdie evening frock is not for her. The weave and look of cotton organdie is cleverly kept and simulated and the fabric is grand for evening frocks. It is being used in fascinating prints and in this form is being promoted for formal as well as informal wear and, and very charming it is, too, young and refreshing. y of The C aintance w Surf Suits in White BETT GIRL IN WALES By Emma Lou Fetta WHITE is again a very interesting and fashionable tone for bathing suits. Last year, the stores say, lots of women bought white suits and then brought them back because, they claimed, they felt too much undressed when they came from the water. This year the manufacturers have done a number of clever things about this difficult task, the white suit still be very smart and that it is both striking and becoming against sun-tanned skins. The bathing suit illustrated is a case in point. It is made of a very sheer and cool but nevertheless opaque durene cotton. The material is knitted in a wide rib and looks like a hand made French bathing suit. Inside is a sheer lining—just for extra safety. It's low and thick and almost bucked in the front. There's a belt. The up and down stripes are a good line for figures which trump rather toward plumpness. Other durene ribbed suits are designed with the stripes running diagonally—another excellent fill for plump figures. Lively Beach Styles By Emma Lou Fetta A classical influence had invaded the beaches and right down next the sand, too. The low-down on the situation is that the newest beach sandals look as if they might be worn in a Greek dance. Those sandals are not as are artificial. They are made of spun rubber crocheted all around with fine durene cotton. They don't bind and therefore don't make you feel as if you were confined in elastic. They are, however, elastic! They are attractive to the eye and very practical because wetting wet doesn't harm them bit. Incidentally, that bit of a beach robe which shows above the shoes is made of an interesting new fabric—a durene knitted corduroy-like material which appears at a glance to be striped velvet. Of course, it is not as striped as because it doesn't spot, can be washed, is very absorbent and porous. IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? ``` Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, that social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without object and are not the 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. THE HOOVER NOMINATION A LIFE-LONG REPUBLICAN AND A LEADER IN LOUISIANA PARTY POLITICS GIVES TEN REASONS FOR HIS ACTION. Says the President's Racial Prejudice Has Been Manifested on Numerous Occasions—Turned Down Our Members of the Republican National Committee—Parker Appointment —"Lily-Whites." New Orleans, La. July 2, '32. Hon. Frank C. Labit, Chair. Repub. State Central Committee, New Orleans, La. Dear Sir:—I shall not vote for the reelection of President Hoover, next November, for the following reasons: First: He has discriminated against Colored Republicans by refusing to appoint them to any office in the South, except postmaster in town compelled Colored people. Second: He has steadfastly refused to appoint qualified Colored men or women to offices in the North in which the advice and consent of the Senate is required, except in two or three instances. Third: He has discriminated against Colored Republicans by refusing to appoint them to membership on any of his numerous boards and commissions, except in one or two instances when he appointed that person practically "jim-crow" boards or commissions Fourth: In his appointments to federal offices in Georgia, he has ignored the national Republican committeewoman — Mrs. George S. Williams — against whom there was not a scintilla of evidence or charges in the handling of federal patronage, and in which state there was no national committeeman recognized at that time. Fifth: In his appointments to federal offices in Mississippi, he has ignored the Hon. Perry W. Howard, national Republican committeeman, and Mrs. Mary C. Booze, national committeewoman. Sixth: He has disregarded the Constitutional requirement to report to the Congress the state of the cases of lynching in which my racial group were the most numerous victims. Seventh: He ignored and trampled upon the rights and privileges of the Colored citizens of this country by insisting upon the confirmation of Judge Parker of North Carolina, in the U. S. supreme court burying protestors all of the Colored organizations and the leading Colored men and women of the United States, after it had been shown that Judge Parker, in a public address, had expressed opposition to the use of the ballot by Colored people. Eighth: Through his secretary of war, the Hon. Patrick J. Hurley of Oklahoma, he humiliated and indicted the Colored Race by sending them to France on inferior and "jim-crow" ships to visit the graves of their sons who had made the supreme sacrifice for their country. Ninth: He has displayed race prejudice by refusing to be photographed with delegations and commissions composed of Colored people, while graciously consenting to be photographed with other racial groups of delegations and commissions. Tenth: Through his postmaster general, the Hon. Walter F. Brown of Ohio, he ignored and trampled the rights of the regular, Republicans, of Louisiana. Meshes For th By EMMA Meshes For the Outdoor Girl By EMMA LOU FETTA PAUL Poiret, the famous French designer, once said: "I can't see why women want to expose their knees. The knee is a joint; not a thing of beauty." We are inclined to go a step further and say that a leg without a stocking—save for beach and bathing—is not nearly as attractive as a leg inside a lovely stocking. We may be old fashioned, but we're not. This year hosiery manufacturers have been remarkably smart about making stockings suitable for specific uses.

I have been a lifelong Republican. Have never voted any other ticket than a Republican ticket. I was an enthusiastic supporter of Hoover for President in 1928. I am opposed to the reelection of Hoover for President in 1932. I am sorry the Republican party has made it impossible for me to vote for their candidate for President in 1932. No colored man or woman can vote for the reelection of President Hoover, without sacrificing his or her pride, self and race respect. I am still a Republican, but not a "Hoover Republican."

"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives by virtue of their friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. e Outdoor Girl and utility weights. Now they make a great variety of meshes which have not only high fashion acceptance but logic. They look like active and spectator sports. They go extremely well with rough cotton, and the durene meshes have quite as much silkiness of charm as real silk, but never shininess or the look better suited to the ballroom. These durene mesh stockings shown in the illustration are the sort to wear for golf, or the races to the Olympics, to tournaments and to town with cotton suits, and summer tweeds. ding It Reading It
