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.

Criticize Conduct of U. S. 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.

Hints for the Home:
Sugar
bags make good dishcloths. 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.
