As one contemporary has stated, the
tide of emigration from the United
States is turning and it is likely to re-
suit in an unusual influx of people into
the United States from European coun-
tries, The men and women who are go
ing back to their former homes across
the water are finding conditions which
they scarcely dreamed of when the de-
sire for a sight of home land induced
them to pull up stakes in the United
States. They are finding industrial CON
ditions far worse than they had imagined
and they are finding the pinch of poverty
intensely sharp because of the great un
rest that has not yet subsidized in nearly
all the countries of Europe. Added to
that, they are finding that the danger Of
CONSUMPTION in the armies of some of
those countries are quite real as one
after the other of them, who do not hap
pen to be citizens of the United States,
are snapped up by their governments
and condemned to terms OF service in the
military or naval arm So there need be
no alarm for the industrial failure Of the
United States at the outflow of skilled
and unskiled worker, for they will come
back-those Of them who can get back.

We people in the northern belt of
states probably do not have the most ac-
curate conception of the problem Incl
dent to the juxtaposition of the colored
and the white races in the southern
states, so we are inclined to pooh pooh
the report of great plot in this region
or that region in which negroes planned
wholesale slaughter of whites. To us
it appears rather doubtful that there was
such plot in elaine, Ark, and until the
evidence is more conclusive we shall have
TO continue in the skeptical state of
mind.
