Movies Are Educatlonai.

When we go to the movies for our
II cents worth Of the art and war
tax, we should endeavor TO make
the glad occasion as helpful as pos
sible. We should take to ourselves
golden lessons in observations and
perceptions for, in the turmoil OF
our everyday existence we are quite
prone to overlook many little details
that should rot be lost sight Of.
For example in the movies all
bankers CONS down TO business in
the morning wearing silk hats, and
all lady vampires are long and rangy
Yet how few OF us, in the rush OF
daily life. observe these apparently
trivial facts! Likewise. all film

American Legion

The labor situation al far as the
American Legion Is concerned has
seen thoroughly settled. In a letter
to Louis Y. Sosin. finance officer of
the local post. Legion Commander
D'Olier states Enthusiastically that
the legion Is committed to a hands
off" policy toward labor ~controver-
sies. He says The American Le-
gion has taken a very positive stand
that, as an organization, 1t should
never take any definite part in a dis
pute between employer and the I'm
pioye, OF between capital and labor.
This policy shall be adhered to strict
ly by the national organization,
state organizations and the posts
as well. There is nothing TO pre-
vent the individual member as an.
Individual, from taking either. side
in such a controversy. but the
American Legion, as an organiza-
ton, should not do 80"
The very few instances where
some of the 5000 posts in this
country have taken a stand in this
matter, have greatly hurt the rep

which sent him to Haiti to maize an
Investigation and whose charges a
gainst the American occupation in

about an investigation by the United
States Navy Department in state

mem challenged the methods which
he asserted the Governmest had en-
ployed in Haiti.
"If the Navy Department will in
form the Americas people whether
strict censorship still prevails on
news from Haiti" said Mr.. Johnson
I'VE shall better be able to estimate
the reports of General Lejoune and
Admiral Knapp wien they are made
So far as | know no opening of the
closed door on news from Haiti has
yet taken place.
Meanwhile the Administration
sends to make report to the Ameri
can people on the conduct of Ma
rines in Haiti, the commander of
these Marines, General Lejeune, an
Admiral of the Navy Department
which stands accused of making
Haiti unsafe for Democracy. 1t
looks suspioiously like an attempt
at an official whitewashing before
Congress assemblies. The state
ment that Admiral Knapp was sent
to Haiti more as representative
of the State than Of the Navy De-
partment is obviously an attempt to
gloss over the facts.
"h should be borne in mind that
there has yet been no official de-
nial of the charges made against the

Seliglnan and myself writing in the

newspapers demanded explanations
from the Navy Department. no
word was published in denial or eX
tenuation until Senator Harding re-
itcrated them. The Secretary of the
Navy is reported to have charac-
lerized as unjust the statement
that thousands of natives in Haiti
have been slaughtered. Will he
dare say it is untrue? Or will he
rather attempt 10 characterize the
rather attempt ot characterize the
people who were shot down as ban

since the charges were originally
made against the Administrations
and the National City Banks inVaS-

those charges to come from Haiti.
So far as know no newspaper in

A MANS CHANCE AMONG MEN

Thinking men and women; work
ing men and women; law abiding
men and women with their families
and friends are going to Mexico.
Not because Mexico offers TO set
aside a corner for them nor do
these Colored people who go there
wish any such thing, but because it
is an honest country, where law IS
law and a man is a man, and color
is no handicap.
Colored Americans are becoming
members of the Pan-American De-
velopment Association because it is
making it possible through its
knowledge, privileges aud general
activities to lift our lowly cOlored
brothers above a life of oppression
through race prejudice and denied
common comfrot and privileges
through segregation.

efforts to be men among men.
