When this letter appears IN PRINT,
(if it is so fuotunate), the momen-
tons question will have been decided
as to whether or not we shall have
the League of Nations, and who snail
be the delegates to the Constitutional
Convention, and let us hope that the
question of food control viii come
to the front and stay. Let those VINO
have been named to handle business,
decide as to the best way OF giving
relief to the overlooked section, and
use their best endeavor to get the
work under way. In rough figures,
It viii cost $500, 100000 to put up the
Ieyee from Point Breeze to the mouth
of Red River dam the river and con-
meet with the levee on the other side
If the money can be had to do this
work, get it and begin the work. II
not. let the people know, that they
may get out and make a living else
where. These people are citizens,
and good citizens. They have paid
taxes for protection they did not
get-they have been taxed to pay for
benefits they have never received,
and now, with nearly all the work
stock killed by Charlton, hogs drown
ed, cattle sold at a sacrifice, crops
planted after the water and eaten
BY the worms, they are at the end Of
their ropes. A few weeks ago the Red
Cross sent one and half millions of
dollars to China--one hundred thous-
and dollars of this money would have
supplied every man on lower Black
River, who needed it, with a work
animal and grub stake, and it could
have been put in the form of loan
and the Red Cross had chance to
get the money back. If this one and
q half million dollars was to be divi-
ded among the four hundred million
people in China, for food and raiment
it would give fraction over two
cent postage stame per capita, but if
1t was to save their souls, it was am
ply sufficient. Mr.. Editor, we do not
know that a Chinaman has a soul I;
they believe in the writings Of Con-
fucius; worship a joss, burn incense
before him; drown the girl babies,
eat dogs, cheat you in laundry bills,
and other things too numerous to
mention. If Chinaman has a soul,
it is very small one and the afore-
said two cent postage stamp will COW
err it. AS for christian Chinaman,
''there amt no such animal" Mr..
Editor, you may infer that the writer
does not like Chinaman, and you
viii be correct. All this has nothing
to do with food control, but when the
writer thinks Of the million and a
half going to China, and of how much
good even one-fifth Of it would have
done in this country, he feels like
swearing Mr.. Editor, only he knows
you object to printing swear words
Our friends on Black River cannot
look for protection in 1921, and not
likely for 1922, but those who car
hold out, viii eventually get it, and
those who cannot last for the two
following years, had best prepare t.
move at once.
