AN APPEAL TO PHARAOH; a radical solution

that the prejudice is not confined to the
south-that, in fact, it is as strong in the
north as in the south. The reason that 1t is

are so few blacks in that section in compar-
ison with the number in the south. The
radical solution of the race problem which
the author offers is to send all the blacks to
Africa.
