piqucd at President Wilson's attitude in the Fiume
controversy, Perhaps Jugo slaya and Armenia love
us--wc do not know.
According to DR.. Macfarland, Europe thinks that
the slogan America first" smacks somewhat of the
sclfisbness contained in the German war-cry:
Deutschland uber allies" The comparison to put it
mildly is not flattcrng, but it is illustrative the
feeling concerning America that prevails abroad.
Yes, we must confess that America is selfish. She
has only few thousands of her soldiers in Europe
and Asia fighting other nations battles. She is self
ish in wishing 10 keep some of her doughboys at
home TO recuperae from shel-shock ana gas attacks
She is selfish in wishing to teach her returned SOL
diers trades, instead Of sending most of them to
Anatoa SDalato or Vladiyostok. She is selfish in
spending part of her money at home for the relief
Of American widows and orphans, when there
are many little Hottcntot pickannnies who have
never heard the strains Of photograph. She is
selfish in spending some Of her money in reclan,a
tion and reconstruction at home, when so many
European art galleries need renovation.
America is terribly, wickedly selfish. Europe ad-
mits it. America Must change her slogan. Instead
OF America first" it must be Give Ito Europe)
until it hurts"
Even so, the Journal is for helping Europe in
every possible way. even at a considerable sacrifice
to ourselves.

Down off the steps he hoped,

alone. 1t was a lovely evening. not
too cool and not too warm. and
every once in while the moon
shone out from behind the clouds.
1t was so quiet and still that Nurse
Jane closed her eyes, and, before
she knew it, she began to fall
asleep.
She was only half awake when
she felt some one gently get in the
swaying porch swing beside her.
ooh, you have come back to
swing with me, have you, Uncle
Wiggily ?" asked Nurse Jane, sleepy
like.
'Um. UNI" was all the answer
she heard, and she did not pay
much attention. hardly opening her
eyes. She felt some one soft and
fuzzy next to her., and she thought
sure it was Uncle Wiggily.

Editor Morning Journal.
Dear Sir:-I have been a sub.
scriber of your paper for about
eight years and have noticed that
the Journal has stood for fair play
as well as l have been able to I'M
derstand it, and that's why | make
bold to write this letter. believing
that the Journal is unbiased and
unprecedented In Governor Cox s
speech of October IA, in Columbus,
o., he stated that: Rt
Among the groups of parties be-
hind Senator Harding there was
the Afro-American party, whose
hyphenated activity has attempted
to stir up trouble among the negro
upon the false claims that it can
bring social equality. thereby sub
jecting the unsuspeeting colored
people to counter-attacks of those
fomenting racial prejudice and en-
dangering them to bloody race
riots.
Now, just here l feel compelled
in honor to my race TO say that the
colored people are not so unsus-
pecting as might seem and neither
do we seek social equality as the
(great?) governor seems to think.
/ would like to know Just what is
meant by social equality. anyway.
What has the white race that we
cannot get If given as much time
and chance as they have had? In
just what way would social equal
ity with them benefit us? These
are just u few of the questions that
we would like = know, as viewed
by the white people. We admit

| there are those few who have
sought for social equality with the
| whites as we see it, and we are
loud in our denunciation of those
same few, whom we lool; upon as
a disgrace to the race. II the re-
publican party or any other party
thinks We favor them for ihe pur-
pose of bringing about social equal
ity, they are terribly ignorant Of
the Negroes real makeup.
We, like white people, take our
best, or at least our average, to
hold up as examples. Look at us,
then, through our best element.
What We really want il a chance
to live as other people live. To
educate our children as other pco-
pie do, to go wherever our abilities
will allow us to go as regarding
trade or profession, 20 be treated
with respect when We have merited
it, Not to be compelled to walk
the streets of our towns hungry
(and at the same time have our
pockets fun OF United States cur
rency) just because we are black;
nc. TO be compelled 70 pay first
cle SIS prices and get second class
fare.
These are few of the things We
do and do not want. We are by
the republican party as we are by
the Bible, we believe in 1t as
whole; We are not as a race able
as yet to pick it to pieces or to
form separate opinions of 1t. So
until we are able to do that we will
remain republican.
