'The Attitude of European Coun j

students on current events than i
most information gleaned from (

In a cursory survey of Euro 1

stated that Portugual was en- \

reasons for the rise of the evil^
there: first, the presence of the I
Anglo-Saxon, and second, the himvil

[DENT OF EUROPE ^1
STUDENTS
Europe.- Mr. McKaine held belief
that he was more respected than m
any other Negro rn his group because
of his comparative intelli- - -jk
rence. In regard to the attitude of
the American Negro toward the
orooont woi'ld crisis, he was firmly ??
convinced that we should do our ut
nost. 1/ecause the Negro would be _ ?3
forbidden to enter Europe if the
Totalitarian powers won. Further, J
Pie belie--'ed that Airrerrea should *'J
enter as quickly as possible, that
an invasion of America would come
--- -wv.. mo vjv;i meareu up
after victory. Hitler's attitude t?
wards the Negro'was twofold: first
Fie was fit for reproduction," second.
he was fit for work. In answer *<
to a question on the point, Mr Mc- .?
Kaine declared that it was his
opmion that the American Negro
was differing from other Negroes,
tha"t they were becoming "colored"
whrch fact would make it difficult *
For American Negroes to become
the center of a rebirth of a new
civilization rn Africa if that should
Fall our lot. "The "Africans might
not accept us". . *j
Mr. McKame witnesed the retreat
from Dunkirk. He described
:t as the greatest piece of coolness
under fire the world has ever seen,
death was virtually laughed at by i
the retreating British. As to the
Morale-of the German soldiers, he- ? '
pleaded that we make no mistake;
the morale rs very high, especially
among men under thirty. However, '
the morale among the British is
vecy high also. He concluded that ? }
the passage of the Lend-Lease
8*01 would insure victory for the de
mocracies and that the democracie8
would?inaugurate?a?more?eu? 1 ^
