Turning the Negroes Back

M ANY significant circumstances were con-
1f1 nected with tho race riot in Omaha,
but none more significant than the decision
OF the authorities in several Of the Middle
Western communities to depOrt their negro
populations as means Of preserving order
and Of preventing further and bloodier out
breaks. Most of the unfortunate negroes. it
seems are being directed to return to the
South and are being told that they had bet
ter remain in the South if they want to live
in peace with the white people.
1t appears that many of the black men
and women who have been started OH their
way to their Southern homes landed in the
Middle western cities and towns only Il few
weeks ago. They were driven by fear out
of Chicago following the reign OF terror in
that city and having only enough money to
travel short distances. they stopped in Iowa
Nebraska and in Kansas. But they have not
been made welcome in those States and il
they hope to save their lives they are told
that they must move on.
These incidents illustrate the folly OF in
ducing great numbers of negroes 10 leave
their homes and their kinsmen in the South
with the prospect OF high wages in Northern
centers and In the hope on their part of bet
tering their political and social condition.
1t is well-known that literally thousands Of
theSe black people were persuaded to aban-
don their farms, their cotton and their corn
and we're crowded into negro settlements
diouuu tHe great mills or the North This
was particularly true during the early part
OF the war And now the tragedy OF this
sort of thing is developing in first one city
and then another. The Northern white peo-
PIE 90 not want the negro fellow citizen
and fellow worker. They realize the mis-
take which was made and the negroes in
large numbers are realizing the blunder
they made. As result there is a general
movement of the black people to the South. ;.
movement which promises to grow with
the coming of another winter
1t Is interesting to observe that the reason
winch the authorities give when they dcDort
band of negroes from a Northern or West
ern community is the safety of the negroes
themselves. The wanderers are told that the
only place where their lives and their rights
may be protected is in the South and among
white people who know the negro and who
understand how to make him an economic
asset
1T has not been many years since North
ern editors were laundering day in and day
out against the outrages committed bv
oouthern white men against the negro
ever! isolated case Of ynchng was made
the occasion of fresh outburst and every
,ime the white people of Il Southern State
LOOK step to remove the negro as political
factor there was veritable storm of abuse
or southern policies. And now Northern
Judges and sheriifs are telling the eyiIed
negroes among them to go South and stay
there If the latter hope to have any pooce
or to enjoy any rights

Rationfng Sugar

a result of the brief investigation OF
the sugar situation by Senate commit
tee, legislation is about to be urged proyid-
ing that the government shall assume con
troll Of the 1920 crop it did those of 1915
and 1919, and authorize the Sugar Equaliza-
ton Board to dole out the available stocks
IN its own way, fixing the price at the re-
hnery and perhaps fixing it at the store
room OF the wholesaler
IL would be comforting 10 the American
people to know that some government agency
stands between them and the sugar protiteer
ana 10 Know that the domestic crop and as
much of the Cuban crop as may be needed,
Will be pooled for the benefit of ali interests
But SUCH step should not be taken unless
mere is no safe alternative. Private indus
tries In this country should be as free OF
government restraint as national interests
will permit.
That there is sugar shortage in sight
and IN fact sugar shortage even now is
beyond dispute. Europe has gone into the
cuban market for heavy consignments and
10 mat extent has gone into direct compe-
utlon with American buyers. Not enough
sugar is produced in tho United States to
meet The domestic demand There never
mas been enough raised here to meet it,
me remainder required for American con-
sumption has been drawn from Cuba which
exports almost the whole of its crop.
Since the war ended, the price OF sugar
on the American market has been largely
controlled by the Sugar Equalization Board
which. acting for the government has pur-
chased the whole available volume and dis
posed of it at cost The price control since
The adjustment OF the food administration
has not extended to jobbers and retailers
as rigidly as to tic rcfners, but there has
Decn enough control to prevent run

Now comes the question not only OF con-
trolling the price but of equitably distribut-
| ing short supply. Sugar rationing Is not
Il pleasing thing TO contemplate but it is
