Recent As. seriated Press dispatches told of the results experienced be attse of boycotts placed by the Indians on British goods. Because of the Indian boycott the government promulgated a special ordinance forbidding all meetings of groups containing move than five people. This measure is re- , ported' as having, the effect of" dutlav/lng every gathering of the Nationalists. Tlw. N .tioiuilLsU, have been carrying on the Cam- _ paign of Civil disobedience and non-cooperation, ^ rend dnew lioymtted British srbods in accordance ^ with Gandhi's, declaration together with the allIndia NationaljCongress. The boycott has succeed ?-e?T inK-wfwi u'ti in. fiiTrinpr nnsine.ss <n Knmhay to t - one-fourth its normal volume. Of more than pass-, , ine sfcrnif.canee is the situation on the Bombay Cotton' Exchange, second large-st in the world. It has dropped from one hundred thousand bales a C/ - day to fewer than o(ne hundred hales, & daily loss testimated at approximately three millions of dollars. The Nationalists have set up what they call a ?_ nucleus parallel government by inaugurating an K&. * . , ' i?n ? ?i{ 1 rrtf -n ndependent postal service between Bombay and mtlying ipoints. They intend to extend it over all India for the purpose of carrying letters at half the rate charged by the British. There is one thing certain about this BritishIndian affair; the Indian Nationalists have given plenty evidence that they are serious, about dispensing with the British yoke. They have demonstrated over and over again that their leaders do not fear imprisonment, when they conceive th?ir cause to le just. Such righteous determination as thn? ?Kown hv the Indian Nationalists under the inspired and inspiring leadership of India's Great Soul must ultimately result in triumph for the oppressed people. There are many valuable lessons to be gleaned from this matter of the boycott.

We watch India's struggle anticipating her final triumphant emergence." ' f ""I tfE/l'WUUIN IHUi LUSHES BY GORDON B. HANCOCK ~ This Country's "Used Part" In his "Brown America" Embree gives a very painstaking and sympathetic treatment of the color question in this country as it pertains to the Negro race. In making possible a larger distribution of the book,, the Rosenwald Foundation makes a very substantial contribution to the cause of race relations. What. Herskovitz 'presents through anthropological research, Embree offers through the more practical interpretation of social phenomena of common experience.?Rnth present clever analvses of the situation but offer nothing in the way of relief, both h$ve sensed the seriousness of the problem but neither ventures to point the way out.! In the last analysis it does not matter much wheth-] er the Negro is brown or black, his place in this points in many directions for evidence of the Negro's capabilities; but such evidence Is already multiplied to the point of profusion. What the Negro needs is not greater proof of his ability, but a greater opportunity to employ the ability that has been proven in hundreds of ways, Beyond the graphic portrayal of what the Negro has accomplished. in the face of very stubborn opposition,. Embree's book is more confirmatory than exploratory. Because of this writer's intense interest in the economic "Making a Living", a subject that holds much immediate interest for the present. Hopes that had been quickened on earlier pages were crushed as-Embree'pointed out that society ic rather inconsiderate of its "used parts," and these junked. Herein Embree does his greatest service; he faces the fact white writers on the subject too often ignore namely that the Negro in this country is not yet out of th,. woods. The Question is rais ed?hot discussed?on tfts vital matter of the Negro haying made such contribution as this country exacted, now the country can dispense with the Negro. In otherwords Embrce senses the truth this writer has often proclaimed that the white man in this country* can more and more dispense with the Negro's services in a way the Negro cannot dispense with the white man's pocket-book. Here and here only is the rub! The Negro in this country's "used part" and there is danger that as such he will be thrown upon the- social "junk-hpan" of the nation. The develop-1 nien^s during this depression point to ~.ust this un happy con-t mmation. Herein *hiU .the philosophy of the anti-church Negro who believes that atheism and materialism hold promise of the Negro's redemption. If we view life from the material = angle then the Negro in this country is ready for the - "scrap-heap", so long as the white man's mpchfhes are morj and more going .tp displace" the Negio laborer. The only hope for the Negro is in certain moral values whereby a certain element of whites in this country will not stand for such flagrant injustice whereby the Negro group helps to build a nation and is denied the opportunities their sacrifices have made possible. In the last analysis cold economic reasoning blots out the last vestige of hope for the Negro in this country; ethical reasoning?spiritual values? leaves hope yet that a Wften the Nfegro was bmught to this coutry -bo-; was not brought for citizenship purposes; he was brought to work "and nothing more. The turn of events whereby the Negro became a citizen?in name at least-^upset1 the whole balance of social life in this country. America welcomed the Negro as a worker; but America has never welcomed? may never welcome?the Negro as a citizen. Certainly this is a question that is a long way from settlement. This is as tragih as it is obvious! ifet we get nowhere by ignoring the facts. It is here contended that by reason of the fact that the Negro is being and w.jll in all probability more likely be treated as this country's "used part", speciaf measures must be taken,.by, this government to succor thftlMegrn rare. In spite of lTUlch of OUT bluster to the contrary, the'Negro cannot lift himself by his boot-straps. This country wants none of the Negro's professionalism; it wants his man? ual services ami little br nothing more. The Ne?ro ^professional is tolerated?because--he keepa in repair the Negro machinery by which the country is served. It must be plain therefore that when there is no service that the. Negro can render, or which, such as hL. can render," can be dispensed with, the Negro becomes a "used part" and must go the way o>f all used parts. A very , fine character and a very efficient service in whatever field this seryice falls, is the only argument against the proposition that the Negro is tbis country's used part I . ?? *?

When we speak of '9 derinitenes Ave .take _ into considera- fg tion the number of steps to cross, 9 countercross and to turn, in uthn' SB words to reach the spot where we fi"nally find ourselves on the stage. 9 Wo must'always go FRO"M something JH TO something. A cross gesture ero?ses the centre line before the central business has been struck. Nat- 9 rttgaittesefr comes when- we are true to jg the nature of tho ai*. ~ . . ? ?- "'vuuuuu. some tine has said art is lift passed throughthe mind of the artist and fixed in form. Variety is the spice of stage -J business. Think a moment of crosses and counter crosses, up, do\vh;and cross stage. . The length of the cross is determined by the depth of thought. Thc Tength-of the counter cross is determined by the length of the initial move. A counter cross is for the puipose of balancing the musiness. Lot picturesqueness, the art r of stage action be the last attemp. 1 We don't need to be working in a costumed play to make it picturesque, - Some time ago I read a pamphlet on "Stage Business" by that great playwright, George Bernard Shaw. I do not cf course remember Mr. Shaw's pamphlet verbatim, but the gist cf it . is this. I believ.e he first spoke- Of f working out stage business by denow^*? ing where the speech is to be spoken and by knowing what it is tc convey. Chaiis ha\e a place and ao do hata ? says Shaw. We should sit on a word and..rise on a word. Ajfto-s ruusL rot M. distract one another, neither should they call from undue distance. This ( remember as being a very excel!c t piece of advice for the working cut 01 daily business. Shaw also says one or two acts twice over is enough for the preliminary rehearsal. We have as next in E order, perfect rehearsals. Now. 1 can see George Bernard Shaw sitting in 4 an auditorium with a.book (I believe he describes himself thusly) not in- . M terrupting a scene wifch;_correctionsr' . M out simply jotting them down. Shaw . spoke of producing one of-his plays ,1 in ten rehearsals and having only about six hundred notes. He says B the ilrst perfect rehearsal will col- X lapse. The. siame mistake will 'be-/, M made time after time. -There comes M most vividly to my mind these Words. ' jjr Getting angry causes a scene that is not in the play, and a very disagreeable one. He says when everybody is word ** perfect watch like a cat at a 'mouse hole. Have them to rehearse their -B weak points, but not "all night!" As B a final bit of advice he says thvi should never be silence exvept as I stage effect. The play must not stop or walking off stage. -The actor must ? speak as he moves ajid pick up his cues as smartly as a ball is fielded in Jfl cricket. 9 HOWARD SCHOOL NOTES .? 1.- A.
