SALAZAR GOVERNMENT IN A JAM Caught Between Several Opposing Idealogies

“Izvestia” Brings Up Race Issue

Moscow, Ort. 12.

"Izvestia" today published an article entitled "racial discrimina- tion in the United States by the Soviet water Vronsky,

"There are many publicists and political leaders in the British Empire and in the United States who talk about the principles of the Atlantic Charter. especially when it concerns other countries," Vronsky states.

"Thus, the Australian delegate to the Peace Conference proposed the creation of a European inter- national court of the rights of man. These clients of the Anglo- Saxon powers "keep quiet about' the fate of the Indian minority in the British Dominion of South Africa or in the British colony of Keays and about the situation of negroes in the United States, when they show their interest in European countries, rich in reality amounts to interference in

the affairs of sovereign nations." The writer adds: "In spite of "all the protests of progressive] eireles in the United States, the situation of the negroes, especial- ly in the southern states, is "very bad.

"They are constantly reminded of the colour of their skins and are in fact isolated from the white pepulation by n wall of racial dis

crimination.

"The latest intensification of discrimination against the negroes in the United States is one more example of the activity of Ameri- can reaction on the home front."

New York, Oct. 13.

Trouble for the Carmona-Salazar Government in Portugal has been growing for several years. The regime had seemed to be almost suspend- ed in midair without majority support of any of the country's major factions, except possi- bly the Army.
