of our cities challenge the attention
of the Churches Of Jesus Christ to
their responsibility respecting an
amicable and fair adjustment of race
relations in America
In the fellowship of the Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ
in America are included 3,989,852
members OF the Negro churches. In
speakhls therefore at this time for
humanity and justice we voice the
mind and conscience of both races.
The present situation is a challenge
to the Churches charged with the
promotion of the brotherhood of men,
which look upon all men as entitled
to a footing of equality of opportuni-
ty. This calls for preaching the duty
of economic and community justice
for the Negro, thus securing peace
and goodwill between the races. Be-
yond all else the present situation
calls for confession on the part of
Christian men and women of failure
to live up to the standard of uni
versal brotherhood as taught by Je-
sus Christ.

sOUTH'S BEST
Tho OFFERS
A SOLUTION

Blue Ridge, N. c., Sept. 25.-Sixty-
five college professors and ministers
spent ten days at Blue Ridge recent
ly studying and discussing race prob
lens in the South. They find acute
need for more thoughtful and just
consideration of these matters by the
South at large. Conditions" they
say, "call for the utmost tact, sanity.
and Christian forbearance in both
races" The fact that extremists and
radicals are to be found of both col
ors Should not interfere with a
statemanlike, constructive, Christian
program" They believe that the
returning Negro soldiers have in the
main acted with becoming modera-
ton" and Should be welcomed back
as having done a great service to
the nation and the world"
The organization of secret socie-
ties for the intimidation or perse-
cution of Negroes is roundly con-
demned. State and county authori-
ties are urged to "aggressively re-
sist' such organizations as well as
to take aggressive action for the
prevention of mobs and the punish
ment of violence. Local organizations
of whites to uphold law and, secure
justice for Negro suspects are noted
and approved.
A chief necessity they conclude
is "for Southern white men more
thoroughly to inform themselves OF
real conditions, economic, social and
moral, among Negroes" To this end
they recommend "classes in col
leges, churches, and business organi-
cations to find out the actual facts
in particular localities" which should
result in Improvement of living con-
ditions and educational facilities. 1t
would call attention to frequent in
justice in our courts and to unsatis-
factory transportation facilities. II
would lead to appreciation of the
progress Southern Negroes are maxi
ing in business, education and moral
ideals. Cooperation between the lead
ers of. both races, made possible by
definite organizations, would allay
prejudice, dissipate rumors, and
make possible a spirit Of genuine
sympathy"

WHITE REPUBLICANS CHARGE
MEGR0 INFLUENCED BY
DEMOCRATS TO SPLIT VOTE

washington, D. c. Sept, 25.-A
Colored man in primaries in Prince
Georges county. Nd, polled sur
prisingly large vote as Republican
candidate for county Commissioner.
but was defeated by a small plural
ity by two white candidates.
This would ordinarily be of no
interest, but is now claimed to be
significant as regarding the purpose
of the Colored voters in that county
and in other southern Maryland
counties, where the Negro vote con-
trolls things for the Republican party,
to obtain hereafter recognition from
the white Republicans who hold all
the offices to be had, and have never
divided with the Colored voter who
furnished the largest part Of the
party strength in all these counties.
This ambitious Colored candidate
was John d. Browdus. He made q
sharp campaign for the nomination
an imitation Of primary ballot on
which was printed his name and that
of four other Colored candidates as
delegates to the Republican State
convention. Their convention dele
gates were nominated without OBJ
lection.
Here was one of the appeals Of
Brodus: Our votes control the Re
publican party. Without us they are
lost. See il our white friends we
fought alongside of will help our
ticket. Next time we will have more
pull with our Congressman"
Brodus told the Colored voters
everywhere that the Negro soldier
had fought for the country; that for
years, Colored men have consistently
voted the Republican tickets In all
the counties of the Fifth Maryla nd
Congressional district with out
scratching, and that they have nver
gotten anything for their loyalty.
The Republicans were embarrassed
by Brodus candidacy, and charged
that ne was influenced to enter the
race and make The campaign by
Democrats of Prince Georges, who
believed that it would make trouble
for the Republicans. Brodus denied
this. He declares he made his fight
on principles, and will continue to
preach the doctrine, in hat caunty
and elsewhere in the Fifth district,
that the Negro voter must Rave rec
ognition within his party, or he
will demand an acco1IntiTg y aa IN
why he is expected to furnish the
votes and get nothing for his fidelity
and loyalty.

Paris, Sept 25.l"Germany came

"The nation has been compressed

selves out thin and quarreling and
moving centrifugal force.
Thus spoke Henry Morganthau, who
headed the United States inyestiga-
tion commission which has been at
work in Poland in discussing today
his observations in central Europe.
"And what will be the result?" Mr..
Morganthau asked. ReDlying to his
own question, he continued:
"If disintegration keeps up among
Germanys neighbors, there can be
but one result. / doubt whether Ger
many fully appreciates her own
strength. AS she sits calmly watch

eOhio Building and
Loan AssOcia-
tiOns Grow.

= The Director of Negro Economics,
U. S. Department of Labor, has just
called attention to some constructive
work of his Division In Ohio.
AS a result of inadequate housing
conditions in several of the most
important industrial centers to which
Negro workmen have gone in large
numbers since 1916, Charles q. Hall,
Supervisor of Negro Economics for
Ohio, began early in May, 1919, a
campaign for building and loan as
sociations to be organized and f.
nanced by the progressive Colored
men and women in each of these
congested communities to assist Ne
groes to buy or build homes.
A circular letter calling attention
to Housing Facilities for Negro La
Dor" together with a statement Civ
ing general information on the sub
ject or organizing building and loan
associations was carefully prepared
and mailed from the Columbus office
on May s, and, through the courtesy
of the Department of Building and
Loans, copies of the laws of Ohio
relating to Building and Loan As
lsociations were mailed to the Chair
Kan of each County Negro Workers
Advisory Committee. A model from
of Constitution and Bylaws was also
prepared by the Supervisor who gave
copies to those most interested.
Through correspondence and local
conferences the movement was start
ed from Lake Erie to the Ohio River.
Prior to this, there was only .one
Association, The Star Building and
Loan Association of Toledo, which
was under the direction and con-
troll of Colored men. Since the in
auguration of the campaign Of Super
visor Hall, three other associations
have been organized and chartered,
one at Springfield, Middletown and
Cleveland, while others are being
promoted at Akron, Cincinnati, Col
umbus, Greenfield and Youngstown,
by influential men who have Wis
ion of racial opportunities through
cooperative enterprises.
The four companies mentioned
have a combined capitalization OF
$SS5,000 with stock sales already in
!. excess Of $4,000. The Negroes OF
: Ohio now lead those of all other
northern states in this enterprise.

American Negroes they could then
see, as do, the reason for all this
talk against French girls. French
girls have no hatred or prejudice in
their hearts based on the color of the
skin of other people. Is this a just
cause for condemnation? French
people do not think so. and cannot
be made to think so.
Many French girls will testify that
they receive more courtesy and bet
ter treatment from the American Ne
groes than from the whites. No Ne
gro ever referred to French women
as a Jane" or. with any other slur-
ring epithet. BY the way, 1 noticed
that even your correspondent uses
the term frog jane" in reference to
the French girls.
If the failure on the part of French
women to hate and discriminate
against American Negroes merely be-
cause of race or color be regarded
as fault, then French women are
proud of such fault"

seven Negroes of the crew Of the
schooner William II. Sumer, which
ran aground off Topsail Inlet, while

mate, Charles Lacey, that the young
skipper committed suicide because
because of dependency over the dis
aster to the vessel on his initial trip
as commander, federal and country
authorities started and investigation.
Peculiar circumstances surrounding
the affair aroused suspicion and the
authorities say they believe they have
sufficient circumstantial evidence to
hold the Negro crew on charges Of
murder.
