The Chinese have acted wisely in
having their own religion and not &C

ThE ONLY SOLUTION.

Recently at the Church of England
Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica
from 19O7ato the end Of 1912, put for
ward the claim that no solution of the
American color question was possible
except by resolute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
Island of Jamaica, where he was gov
ernor for five years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races Jamaica
is British colony and the govern
ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev-
cry civil and political right which white
men have and there is no color line.
Among otner things Sir Sidney said:
MY study and comparison of con-
dltions in the United States and the
West indies" he said, "has brought
me TO that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men are
not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor
evangelical Christian missionaries. I
do not expect them to adopt the mech.
DDS of missionaries, nor do 1 sympa-
thize with all their programmes. But
It cannot be ignored that it happened
that. the faiths of the men who laid
the foundations for the peaceful de-
velopment of the mixed community in
Jamaica were democratic and human
itarian and, above all, uncompromis-
ingly Christian.
Were race differentiation held to it
must increase civil discord. When the
balance of numbers is as it is in the
South in America it must tend to
foster obscure preparations for civil
war and rebellion. If statesmen and
citizens face in the contrary direction
| do not say that they will attain i'm
mediately civil peace, but 1 am conf
dent that they will be travelling the
only road toward it.
i do not suggest that race does not
greatly affect facilities for combina-
ton between humans in healthy
national life, but race difference is
only one of many schismatic agencies.
The solution of the difficulty involves
discipline for the white man
as the black"
