V iS Labor Parly Betrays Colored Worker In Backing British Imperialism LONDON — (ANP) — Premier Atlee’s labor party has definitely betrayed colored colonial work ers by backing British imperial ism. Indian leaders do not conceal their bitterness nor disgust at the present government’s attitude This is also true of Moslem and Arab leaders. They realize that like the strikers in Britain and the United States they will have to fight for justice. The failure of the labor govern ment to implement its pledges and the cynical disregard of all that was supposed to be implicit in socialist philosophy has done incalcuable harm to the British people throughout the world and particularly among colored peo ples of the world. In fact, nobody in Europe, North and South America trusts Britain. Our attempts to support the corrupt colonial empires of Por tugal, Belgium, France and Hol land by the use of white and colored troops, bombing planes and warships have been univers ally interpreted as merely an ef fort to prop up our own empire, which is the only base upon which the obsolete and rotten co lonial empire system could exist. The British colonial system does not have the support of Russia THOMAS VISITS PARIS (Continued from Page 2.) and dance hall were all in sepa rate rooms while at Potomac they were all in one large area. A suggestion regarding enforcement of minimum standards has been made to the administrative staff and should have results. “Aside from this physically in adequate and geographically un desirable located unit, every other experience in Paris and with Red Cross officials has been most re freshing and satisfying. In spite of the long years of war and the evidence of privation and depri vation everywhere, Paris is still the playground that it was, and its night life still characteristi cally unique. It is good to be here.” While Mr. Thomas did not men tion it, observers here remarked that it seemed odd that most of the Negro soldiers seemed to pre fer to congregate in the Negro clubs. Even Negro officers who were supposed not to use the same facilities as enlisted men, went to the Negro clubs and in many instances insisted upon re maining though it was bad for the morale of the men who soon got so they disregarded the rank of the officers. The officer’s clubs in the down town district were in swanky hotels and beautiful locations. A few colored officers, feeling the necessity of upholding the prin ciple involved, frequented the downtown clubs and took advant age of every facility they offer ed but they were in the minority. Endeavoring to exclude the o f ficers who seemed to prefer the separate clubs was only one of the headaches which the efficient colored Red Cross club directors had to combat. | nor the United States. Britain hopes to hold the east ern empires together until she can fortify Africa and retire to that vast base, without having learned the lesson about the fu tility of staying the “tide" at Singapore. The Singapore les son showed that unless the peo pies’ roots are in the ground of the base it is useless. The roots of colored peoples are not in the new white African base any more than they were in the old bases Not even the British people are told about the secret arming and fortification of the vast Afri can continent. Since you cannot conceal modern fortifications Africans, Asiatics and foreign ob servers know every move. The invention of the atomic bomb has not caused Britain to revise its military preparations. There is no alternative for British imper ialism, regardless of the atomic bomb, which an American sen ator said will cause cities to be built 500 feet below the earth, except the rising tides of color and world enlightenment. It is clear that the present government cannot last long un der the combined attacks of col ored folk inside and outside the empires, world trades unionism and the rest of the allied nations. Non-cooperation with the British government by any of the power ful three would bring the British to the verge of starvation and f(- A LV. * V to submit to any terms. Backed by the federation of world trade unions, the Interna tional Labor organization and other liberal and progressive forces, the colored peoples of the world are rising. We whites will do well to pause and heed the story of the little Negro boy, Richard Wright, who showed the way to cooperation between col ored folks and whites. There is no reason why workers living in dependent or colonial areas should not have collective bargaining machinery, should not have equal pay for equal work irrespective of race, religion or sex, one day off every week and 12 days annual paid holiday. A government that betrays the principles of democracy should be discarded. Colonial workers have been betrayed by Atlee’s Labor party government, which has con sistently backed British imperial ism.

Health Personnel Sent to Liberia MONROVIA— (ANP) — Consid erable criticism is being leveled at members of the United States Health mission sent here to sup ervise the setting up of a public health program for Liberia. So acute did the situation become that local newspapers have pub lished reports that at the govern ment hospital operated by the mission, the patients were being fed pig’s feet for breakfast, din ner and supper on several days. The published charged said that food was often improperly pre pared and that patients in some instances had to get their food from the outside. Another charge is that the beautiful young nurses, most of whom were recruited from New York City, behave in an unseem ing manner in their quarters which are on the uppermost floor of the hospital. It is said that considerable dancing, singing and revelry goes on in the quarters, disturbing the patients who are located just beneath. The music by radio is relayed to their quar ters by an amplifier. The most serious allegation, however, had to do with the ad ministrative head, Dr. John B. West, who resigned a lieutenant colonelcy in the U. S. army to assume charge of the public health mission, said to be a brainchild of his. The claim has been made that Dr. West ordered 400 cases of ammunition imported jnto Li beria and that during one month quite a number of the Liberian workers in the hospital were paid off in cartridges instead of cash. Cartridges are easily saleable here but it is pointed out that importing the ammunition with out licese or duty was in direct competition with local mer chants and amounted to unfair trade practice. According to the duty which the law prescribes, it is said that the duty on the ammunition should have amount ed to about $4,000. The law which says that goods must be imported by permit has been vio lated according to local complain ants. The law says that under such circumstances the g o o d s must be confiscated and the guilty person fined. Dr. West, head of the mission which consists of several doc tors, a public health worker, a number of nurses who came from the United States, is away from Liberia at this time. Reports are that he is back in the United States for hospitaliation, presum ably in New York City where his wife and family are resid ing. Dr. West has had previous ex perience in foreign public health problems. For a brief period after the close of the last war he served in Ethiopia in such a capacity. He has had charge of the Harlem Public Health clinic and just before joining the army medical corps early in the recent world war, he had served as sup erintendent of Porvident hos pital, Chicago.

Then, too, many homemak ers feel they Just don’ t want to both er fixing something palatable and attractive. But, let’ s look at it this way. Lunch, according to nutritionists, should contain at least one-third to one-half the day’ s calories, and the proper balance of p r o t e i n s , carbo hy dr a t e s , v i t a mins and miner als. This doesn’ t mean that you have to spend a lot of time prepar ing this noon-day snack, because, chances are, there are plenty of things in the refrigerator, ready to be made into satisfying, nourishing lunches. Now that food rationing has eased, it might be a good idea to invite friends in for a quick lunch; or. bet ter still, have a plan whereby you invite four to six people over for noon-time, and then have everyone take turns having each other to luncheon. It’ s a neighborly way, and you will be sure to get Into bet ter luncheon habits this way. Here Is a colorful salad plate that makes a quick and easy lunch. It looks pretty, too, on gay, informal plates. Stuffed Tomato Salad Plate.

Cut, hem and launder before using. A dishwashing apron is easy to make out of oil cloth. Cut to pat tern, bind the edges and you will have a water-resistant apron. Old pillow cases are excellent for protecting the tops of clothes while they hang In the closet. Use this tip for putting away out-of season clothes. Odd bits o f linoleum make nice covers for kitchen or laundry ta ble and may even be used as shelf covering. Old socks are excellent for ap plying wax to furniture; they may be used for cleaning silver ware, too. If you are crowded for space, build a blanket bin across the narrow end of a hall, underneath the windows. This is good to use in storing clothes, too. Fold the latter in clean tissue paper to prevent wrinkling. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS HAVE YOU DONATED TO THE UNITED NEGRO COL LEGE FUND?
