The thrills and excitement in basketball has in a short space of time, made it top all sports in attendance. Seattle is one of the great centers of basketball in America.

If it is necessary for the United States to go to the aid of England, furnishing them with ammunitions of war, men and money, in order to,save ourselves, we should willingly go with every resource at our command. If this democracy of ours is worth saving at all, the only way to save it today is to be ready and willing to fight for it and die for it. Our melting pot is a strange mixture. Millions of immigrants of this country have never learned the true value of democracy. Thousands of them question and openly oppose it. We Americans have enjoyed our freedom so long we take it as a matter ofcourse and attach no ordinary value to it. Our elections are growing bitter. We no longer concede the same rights and privileges to others we demand for ourselves. We will have to go back to the founders of our government and gain from them a new inspiration and learn anew the meaning of the Declaration of Independence.

And at the same time, it protested the fact that there are no more than half a dozen Negroes now working in all of the Southern California aircraft plants employing more than 60,()00 workers today. The .Local also adopted a resolution "apologizing to the Negro people for the exclusion of several Negro members and their guests at the Local's recent dance.

Present in Greenwich Town Court, from which the public was barred, were Thurgood Marshall, special counsel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; and Samuel Friedman of Bridgeport, Conn., who is conducting the defense. The hearing was held after three postponements. Friedman protested the failure of the prosecutor to produce Mrs. Strubing in court. "I earnestly believe," he said, "that Mrs. Strubing has no intention of appearing in court." He pointed out that 1 the defense, because it had no opportunity to cross question her, was hampered in its conduct of the case. Assistant Prosecutor Archibald H.

Anyone qualifying please address the Northwest Enterprise, Box 1873, Seattle, Wash. ~===================~ Now the real Master and owner of all the earth is putting in his claim for what belongs to him and when Hitler, the go-between man gets through with England, and God who said the Earth is mine, and all that dwells in it, collects all that is coming to him, I'll bet dolars to doughnuts I'll have more cash money in my jeans than will be in the world famed unbreakable Bank of England. Yes, England must pay and the U. S. with all its aid and sympathy will not be able to save her. It's pay day, and God himself is on the job, collecting what is his own. You will also be advised that here in the U. S. a debt of some 300 years of slave labor needs to be paid. It must be paid. What kind of a proposition I am wondering, will be made by those in authority, and those responsible for this debt? No Negro democrat has any respect for the Democratic party in the states to which Judge Hueston refers. The answer is, a majority of Negroes have turned to the Democratic party in recent years, is first, Roosevelt and the New Deal program which at least seems to offer a fairer chance and a fuller life. Second, in protest of the Republican party's lack of protection which at the same time using the Negro as a pontoon bridge merely to carry it across to victory. Dr. Harten's enemies as well as his friends, often admit that he is one of the most sincere and fearless defenders of the race before the public today.

As for Judge Hueston's pledge to get every Republican member of Congress to support a bill to give the Negro his full rights in the South, while we would like to believe the Judge, we cannot forget the conduct of a number of Republican Senators when the last anti-lynch bill was up for passage.

It is known, by white and black people, that Harten cannot be bought, and is not an "Uncle Tom," but is a straight and sharpshooter in defense of his race. "Powell has started this war, and since he has attacked the leadership of the dead, who cannot answer for themselves, he should be man enough to meet me, or otherwise acknowledge that he is the biggest faker in the Negro pulpit. He strives in all of his addresses to sway the audience by belittling others. He has jumped on me. I will not run. God has not created a man of whom I am afraid. I have never been the aggressor in any fight, and I have my firlt battle to lose. Adam Powell has never demonstrated his ability in anything except as a number one, egotistical, windjammer and mud-slinger. The Abyssinian Baptist Church was built and paid for by his father. Adam has never made a mouse trap. Before he endeavors to destroy the leadership of men and women who have _,made lasting contributions to the race, let him take his supposed fifteen thousand members and their friends, and establish a department store for Negroes in Harlem. And replace those white concerns which receive 95% of their money from the pockets of poor Negroes, with stores udner his leadership. Why put forth every effort to destroy the Negro's confidence in institutions which we now have, before we offer something which is better?
