worlds crop should be no question
about cheaper whea, and bread next

the consumer will reap any benefits
from over production Farmets have
had taste OF government price-fix-

no doubt they will ask the govern

wise the colored troops over there to
behave themselves like gentlemen and
thus leave a good impression upon
the people Of France. DR.. Motion will
find that this part of his mission to
France is unnecessary. The colored
men IN the army in France have given
their commander no cause for CON-
plant on this score. The French peo-
pie and French newspapers have
spoken In high praise of their conduct.
1t is a gratuitous insult to the char.
acter OF these men to send DR.. Motion
or any other man to France to teach
them good morals.
DIR. Motion is quoted as saying that
the Africans are incapable of self-gov-
eminent. IF he means the Africans In
Africa, along the gold coast, the west
coast, Basutoland, Barotse land, etc..
can tell him that he is grossly mis-
taken, and that he is libelling the char.
acter of these intelligent people who
have for years demonstrated their
ability for self-government along
native lines. DR.. Motion is hardly the
man to pass judgment on the capacity
of the Africans for self-government.
He does not know any more about
Africa and the Africans, nor as much,
as the American delegates who are
relying on him to advise them on this
subject. 49,.

BLOW 1T ALL IN

When Congress authorized the Presi-
dent to take over the railroads it fixed
the time Of government operation to
be for the period of the war and for
II months thereafter. To provide a
means Of financing such operation a
revolving fund of $500,0O0.O0 was set
aside for the use Of the Director Gen.
eral in supplying funds to needy roads
for maintenance and equipment. It
was supposed by the legislators that
that huge sum would be ample to meet
all requirements; in fact it was antici-
pated that long before it was ex.
hausted some of the first loans made
would be coming back into the Treas
ury, and the fund would in truth re-
volve.
But instead of carrying the roads
through a period of years, as contem-
plated by the trainers of the legisla-
ton, the revolving" fund is practically
exhausted in the very first year of
Federal administration. The Director
General in his annual report admits
that over $453,000,O00 Of that amount
has been expended already. Not only
that but $25,000,000 has been taken
from surplus receipts Of railroad and
express companies and loaned back to
the roads in addition to the millions
from the revolving fupd. OF course
payments to the Government for it's
loans from the revolving fund, if they
are ever made, must come from sur
plus earnings, but when those earn
1ngs are diverted from that purpose
and turned into further loans the re-
suit is only to sink the roads deeper
into the financial mire.

They are not in any sense "dele-
gates" and have no such standing.
They can not attend the meetings of
the Peace Conference. That ought
| to be clear to everyone who is at all
well informed about the questions of
the day.
AS THE APPEAL understands the
matter, the representatives are to go
to France and use their moral in
fluence to aid in the abolition of the
color line in all the world. Neces-
sarily they must work through the
delegates of the United States and
other nations which have regularly
accredited delegates. That is all
that they can do. The congress un-
derstood that and the representatives
understand their limitations.
However, the representatives may
possibly be able to do some very ef-
fective work. They may tell the
world of the utterly undemocratic
treatment of the colored people in
the u. S. A., and they may add their
voice, even if it is a feeble one, to
the general demand of the Colored
World, for the abolition of all dis
examinations based on color, creed or
sex, and may really aid in the realiza-
ton of liberty, fraternity and equal
ity for all men.
Just what the proposed League
of Nations" will be no man knows
no one knows just how far it will in
terfere with the internal questions
of the various nations, but with ia
pan, one of the great powers, and
China, Haiti, and Liberia, all colored
nations, and with Brazil and other
countries with large colored popula-
lions, and India and South Africa
represented, certain broad principles
against color autocracy may be laid
down. Who knows?

Ftives can not hope to get seats at the

ference, but they can stay outside

Should Open the Doors to Opportunity

(From the Christian Register.)
A circular sent out to employers in
a large city, calling attention to the
number and quality of young colored
men trained in the schools Of the city,
and asking cooperation and counsel
in making their services available,
brought one reply which though anony-
nous is significant of an opinion still
widely influential. kindly send them
to Africa, instead of mixing them
with u.s." AS the expression of an in
diVidual desire these two points are of
course admissible, but as practicable
measures it is curious that any intelli-
gent person should seriously entertain
them. Does any one suppose that the
colored population of the United
States could be sent to Africa, or that
II they were sent they would go? So
long as they are here, and have al
ready been mixing for more than a
century, and have the rights of citi-
zenship, including the right to die with
white men for their country, is it any
reckonable menace to Responsibility
and intrinsic leadership to open a few
more Industrial doors to their proved
abilities and usefulness? While we

This action leaves the shortsighted
colored men who have opposed the
sending of colored representatives to
the Peace Congress to appeal for JUS
tice to the colored people of America,
without a leg upon which to stand.
If the U. S. Congress can ask the
Peace Congress to interfere in the in
ternal affairs of Great Britain, why
cannot the colored people of the
United States appeal to the world
assembled at Paris to intervene in the
internal affairs of this country and
stop lynching and the oppression of
one of it's groups of citizens?
