would not object to the government
fixing them if prices are made fair
and equitable.
The federal trade commission again

much to do with short crops and sug-
gestions were made that orientals be

OPEN HUGE AVIATION FIELD
Southern Department of u. s. Army

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. May 1.-The
southern department of the United
States army was today authorized to
begin establishment of what is to be
the largest aviation field yet opened
by the government. Options have
been obtained on one thousand acres
of land six miles south of the city.
Mai Gen. John ]. Pershing was di-
rectcd to organize two more aero
squadrons, each of $50 officers and

near Fort Sam Houson and move all
equipment to the new station. While
approximately eight miles from Fort
Sam Houston, the new aviation field
offers one distinct advantage, in that
testing of machines and training of
aviators can be carried on privately.

NEGROES M1sREPREsENTED
(TacOma FOrum)

We want to be as charitable as possible
with that gathering of Negroes at Yakima,
who gathered there last week under the
guise of Masonic conclave
These Negroes did not represent the best
thought of the state as far as the race is
concerned, hence their resolutions did not
represent the better thinking men of the
race, when they said, eve are willing to do
anything the president desires of us in this
crisis' etc.
The twentieth century Negro ceased
resolutlng several years ago. and only those
who wish to bask in their own reflected
glory are spending any car fare to assemble
to vote for a tumble Of words that sound
empty and meaningless
"The Richmond Planet" edited in the
South where Negroes are supposed to be
servile in their manners, hit the nail
squarily on the head and the article is
apropos at this time
1t would be really interesting to know
how many Of the Negroes of Tappahannock
who are numerous and prosperous, "were
there assembled, to renew allegiance to the
country.~~--~; it would be really interesting
to find out "whar is Tappahannock any
how,' and why is it necessary for the Ne
groes Of Tappahannock or anywhere else
to get together and pledge their "loyalty''
to the country. 1t is not necessary for a
man who has lamp that is lighted to
continually be crying out, 'here is my
light, for it is only needed that the lamp
keep on shining. True loyalty does not
express itself in so much lip, "but by their
fruits we shall know them" This loyalty
business on the part Of the Negro is in
danger Of being over done. It is coming
very near to being profession, it is get

Negroes have note in the bank that is

EAST ST. LOUIS AFTERMATH
(Chicago Defender)


Wonderful country this, land of the free
and home Of the brave Here we find civil

depth, and in the intermediate steps cor
responding degree of intelligence or ig-
norance. In no other so-called civilized
country in the world can be found such
conglomorate mass Of humanity. America
is called the melting pot, misnomer when
it comes to a matter Of thought, opinion or
action. The foreigner who enters our
gates and stays long enough does become
Americanized to degree, but there is an
unbreakable tie that binds him to his father
land in spite Of himself. This tie, however,
seldom initiates against his being loyal to
cannot be said Of him that he is color preju-
diced; that he only acquires after close con-
tact with the native-born whites
The riots in East St. Louis were staged
by. real Americans, the lowest type only
from the point of view that they were law
less and in their lawlessness the step to
becoming murderers was but short one
1t is the boast Of many southern ediotrs that
the chest citizens" took part in a certain
lynching bee. If that is true, what can be
expected from the rabble? A mob without
leader is as ship without rudder It
takes brains and certain amount of mag
netism to lead people, and the weak seem
more easily led into doing wrong than they
are into doing right
Were it not so pathetic, the reading of
the cause of the East St. Louis orgy, as
given by the learned editorial writer's both
north and south, would be highly amusing.
Politics, labor unions and prejudice figur-
ing most prominently, with especial en-
phasis on the latter. From Texas we learn
that illinois is VIGOROUSLY a state of Ne
gro politicians, that we go to the same
schools as the white children, eat in the
same restaurants, ride in the same railway
and street cars that we are called 'Mister''
and Miss and-horrible to think Of

white man and actually marry women with
white skin. This condition, according to
the southern viewpoint is the underlying
cause Of the trouble.
Wisconsin editor says, F'The horrors at
East st. Louis arouses indignant feeling on
the part Of all who make the smallest claim
to just attitude toward an Oppressed
people, The Negroes are focking north,
seeking higher wages and better economic
conditions. He is merely exercising
natural right in going as he chooses to con-
tract his labor to earn a living. It is a
terrible reflection on northern Americans
that they have so illustrated their essential
lack OF poise in rioting against the influx
OF Negro workers.
