+ A LAWYER MUST KNOW THE LAW
principal function of a lawyer in a society such as we have
today is to prgi.ect the personal and property rights of individuals.
This he doea fey knowing the law, by understanding more or less
fully, depending upon the kind' of lawyer he is^' the meaning ol the
law, how it operates upon and affects the lives and property of
hii "elienta, those who come to him for aid and advice. The lawyer
i* paid to render such service. If such service is rendered impro
perly or defectively, the property or life or freedom which ,the
client sought to have prAerved ot protected might be lost .eiitire-
ly or rendered well nigh worthless. To illustrate let us relate an
anecdote, the setting of which is the Sngland of some two centur-
>A bpjr in his teens had journeyed to Manchester to be apprentice
•d to 'it printer. With him he had taken his life’s savings of some
L 40. He arrived in Manchester on the evening before-he was to
Me hi* employer and took lodging at an inn. No one wifs present
when he paid for his room i^nd-asked the innkeeper to lock up his
^vings, which the tooy counted out, for safer keeping. The innkeep
er agreed. Next day the boy returned, having been engaged as
planned, removed to his permanent abode, and the innkeeper
to return his saving*. The innkeeper had been askepifor no lecelpt
and had given none. He denied having received the money and or
dered the boy out. Whereupon the. boy departed and visited a
lawyer, fortunately a got»d lawyer. Having told his story, the Jboy
was•admed.after the lawyer had investigated both innkeeper and
boy ^nd had found th^»tory ito be true. The same amount, L 4&,
wa* borrowed. The boy returned to the inn, told the Innkeeper he
had been mistaken, and in the preseiice of witnesses, asked .the
innkeeper to keep the sum for him, locked up. Then, as advised,
the boy returned when there were no witnesses and asked for tV#
L40. Hayinjr revived it in the presc*nce of witnesses, tke’’'innke*p-
er lalt bound {o^Wturn the sum and did. Next day ttie boy rcturn-
and ia tluij^enre of others demanded the return of L40.
Th* innkeeper could not refuse and handed over tho sum.
Our Bf^m of law is compete. Thf-re is no tout for which
a J»aat of rehres* hat been provided, ikholars in the law are

Mitehell Opposes
Anti’Lynch Bill

WSHINGTON, (ANP)—
Whea Congressman Arthur Mit
chell “de^'lai’t'd - Tuesday that he
was not in favor of bringing the
anti lynching bill before the p»e
sent session of congress ’’and
would *vote against such a pro-
jpedure, much apeculj^tioii} k>ni|
ih* fata of the anti lynching
bill was begun.
Mr. Mitchell, the sole Negro
in congress, declared he wotild
rote against consideration "f the
bill provided no other anti neu
trality legislation was brought
up.
Leaders of both paHies have
agreed that no extraneous mat
ters will be permitted to rise in
the house at least until tho neu
trality bill is disposed of, but
they^would be unabl^ to pre-
veat«a vote on consideration
of the anti lynching bill because
of iis pri^leged^status.
'As' the bill now stands, it has
priority claims over alL other
legislation and any action at
present might tend to jeapordize
(hat position.
Bf^pttesentative Bc^afeir df
Wisconsin has been threatening
to efil the bill this week.
“On the nnderstaridihg, that
failure to conffl^er the measure
now would noF impair its chan-
,,aes in January,”' Mitchell said,
woiild Tote against bringing
it np at this time.”
There has been a great deal

tsi yiew tn« look of amast

[tie peojMe of India and of Bri
tain's African coluiiks after
they heard Mr. Chamberlain's
reply to Hitiu.
The "lofty'’ plaitudes which
flowed so smoothly from the
tongue of Britain’s leading Tory
iertainly fooled no one 4U India
or Africa or the Arabian coun
tries. If it is the 'German terror
in Czechoslovakia and Poland
that* England will now fight,
democracy shcoild at least ibe
extended to those Indians and
Africans who will be asked by
Britain to die before the guns
of Hitler,
Great Britain does not have
to fight anyone in order that
peace and freedcm and democi
acy shall come to the Indian
people. India, down trodden,
aise|£s^> ridden, poverty stricken
India, is and has been for more
than a ^^i>)^ury a colony of the
Britisn big business moguls.
The British African colonics
could have “liberty and eqau-
lity” tomorrow. All the ruling
class of Britain has to do if it
is truly interested in siwh
things is to extend these bless-
inge -to the colonial Jaads. Bijr
tarn is respnsible for the ili-
teracy and tlie misery which is
now the ch^ ch'aracteristic
feature of African* life.
Wallace K. Deul, writing on
the Eastern front for the Chi-
>eag» News, says of the
Poles: ’ “The ' poverty "SMOT^
large sections of Polish ^esantry
and in the l>>g cities is'appall
ing.” Had he been writing from
an^ Indian or African village
he wo»l4 bavt^ jBiitten the same
words: ■
BY AUXILIATOR
Deuel continues; “And love
of n political system is notort-
ju^sly feeble among those whom
the system allows to starve.”
Those words also describe and
onty too well the feeling of
those colonial peoples who are
crashed by British Torydom.
DEMOCRiACY should begin,
at home Britains difficulties
offer a favorable opportunity
for those whom it oppresses to
move in their own interests,
wHich* are the interests of-de
mocracy. nSmands should be
formulated by Indians and
Africans in keeping with the
^ty phrases uttered by Cham
berlain. Tliese demands should
be brought to No. 10 Downing
Street.■^’The colonial peopb can
now appeal tp the British peo
ple who ewpvess a sincere de
sire to a^ the Polish people.

it seems that waging war
h^ been the principal indus
try of the past generations. In~
sofar as thA statement has
validity as a truthful statement,
the wging of War, and the con
sequent peaces or armistices
hav^ (been matj/irs t«at touch
and concern u* all. As a
matter of actuality we are
affected in each and in all of
our utivities by war as well
by the peace that follows. For
each ind^idual exists in no va
cuum but rathe,r in an environ
ment, the nature of which is
determined in large part by the
state of international affairs
In democratic theory euch in
dividual living within a demo
cracy should have a part in
controlling his destinies Oy con
tributing to the determination
of what the* state of internation
at relations should be. In our
governmental system, each in-
dividual ,it>es make his contribu
tion to such 3iTterniination by
means of the use of the bailout

carried ott^ more . or less faith
fully. This is theory and piinoi
pie. But it is»subject always to
the imperFeSlions existed * in
the representative system even
where it operates in accord
witn basic priinciple, as it has
never^ and it is subject fur
ther T™TEe^ *sl»uses anil prac
tices present under that sys
tem.' the effett of which has
ut removing the sys
tem still farther from opera
tion according to original prin
ciple. These atbuses and prac
tices may go so far as to emas
culate and wholly nullify the
system as panned and may
make 'the system in operation a
all
thing not at all what it was
intended to be as matter of
principle.
Such was the case whep, in
the' last year of the administra
tion of Woodrow Wilson, the
Treaty of Versailles, containing
a plan for international govern
ment, ca^e to be considefed y
the Senate of the United-stat
es. The Senate was not .i truly
representative body. It was not,
as in principle it should be,
compsed of Senators elected
from the* forty eight states by
stjrictly democratic processes.
There was little chance there
fore that it would reflect faith
fully the wishes and views of
over this nation’s fdheronce to
anct participation in a system
df international govcrnmeat|
which was designed and intend
ed to achieve law and order io
international relations, the Sen
ate held back and finally re-
jected the only plan for inter
national government which had
been proposed. This action on
the part of the Senate is com
plained of because it is appar
ent that law between nations
is as thoroughly nonexistent
now as has been the caie ever
before in the Jiistory of man
kind. The |>eople of.this nation
would not be hearer to 'com
plain of the unwise action of
the Senate in rejecting the
pleas of President Wilson, were
it not Mie Senate was
composed .of men elected, by
undemocratic methods, namely,
by political machines built up
on the "spoils” or pat?onye
system, one effect of which is
to exclude any possibility of a
tru expression of the opinion
of the electorate on vital issues
and another effect of which is
corrupt and reduce the effici
ency of OUT; civil service, and by
the systematic denial of the
franchise to certain large class-
es.es, especially the Negro,
which go to makif "liljr''t1«r eleP?’

But^ according
GRJAPHIC, quite
the problem of economic or
racial discrimination in 'educa
tion, are the problems of inade
quate aims abd inept teaching
and the “tragic failure inher
it in the fact or idle youth,
four out of ten not in school,
jobless, ready tinder ft>r« de

“By wbat failure in the edu
cational process,” the magasine
asks, “are young people turn
ing out, so insecure and so un-
discriminating that they flock
to rabble rousers? What educa
tional gaps let in hate and pre

NOiRVOLK, Va. (AN!P>—
The report of the Tuberculosis
Cummis»o;n, National Associa
tion, recently released, shows
that TB is much harder to cure
between the ages 17 to 81 and
that at this period it runs ' a
more active course. Tbf disease
is especially violent among
females, ^aged 15 to 21 years.
As age increases, the disease
especially among children and
others with whom they are in
contact.
The report dismisses as “in
adequate an^ ineffective” such
methods as bed rest alone,
m*edicine and vein' injections
and it recommended such mod
ern methods as Pneumothorax
or collapse of the lungs, by .in
jecting air into the pleural ca
vity and other surgical methods
of obtaining complete rest for
the affected lung.
In its summary, tbe coaamlss'^
ion etrongly urgev the support
of local, state and federal gov
ernments In establishment of ^
preventoriums, sanatoria ;a n d
ambulatory - centera for -treat-^
ment of colored TB‘ sufferers.
