SYSTEM OF ACCOUNTING
FOR COTTON GINNERIES
ASSOCIATED Negro Press)

Washington, D. c., Dec. "A sys-
tenn of accounting aimed to meet the
needs of cotton ginneries generally as
they are operated in the cotton belt
has been worked out by the United
States Department of Agriculture and
is now published as department bull
letin 9S5, entitled "a System of Ac-
counting for Cotton Ginneries." Es-
pecial attention is given to the needs
of custom ginneries, but it is believed
that ginneries on private plantations
will find this system of accounting
helpful. No previous knowledge of
bookkeeping, it is said, is necessary
for using the system, each step of
which is fully described in the bull
letin.

SENATE REFUSES TO
CONFIRM APPOINTMENT
OF LINCOLN JOHNSON
ASSOCIATED Negro Pressl

New York, Dec. 2-The failure of
the republican majority in the senate
to confirm the nomination of Henry
Lincoln Johnson is causing lots of
comment here. The senate uses as
a reason for this amazing insult to
the fifteen million Negroes of the
United States the sheep-like obed-
ience to nonsensical rule known as
senatorial courtesy" Because Tom
Watson, senator from Georgia, said
Mr.. Johnson was personally objection
able to him, they-the republican ma
jority-a automatically became bound to
reject the foremost Negro statesman
in America. Republicans = congress-
men and senators-you will have to
get a better excuse than Senatorial
courtesy before the congressional
elections of 1922. Henry Lincoln
Johnson is beloved of all Colored peo-
pie and this desertion of him by the
republican party is causing resent
AASHI LulOuSnOuL IuO lduu.
Negroes can't and won't litsen to
any talk about Senatorial courtesy"
to a man like Tom Watson of Geor-

duct that merits this courtesy? If
the most capable Negro political Lead
er in the country can't be confirmed.
then the case of the Negro under this

American representatives
One cannot help noticing the fine
measure Of esteem accorded the
American representatives From the
public point of view, there is every
feeling that the United States is ably
accounted for by Secretary Hughes,
Senator Lodge, Senator Underwood
and Elihu Root There is a combina-
ton to be respected anywhere, and
it has been wondered more than once,
by philosophers of folly, what might
have happened at Versailles had
Woodrow Wilson appointed men as
delegates who think for themselves
and are permitted to act.
There is yet no exact telling just
what the conference will finally adopt.
There is caution, but if there is sus-
picion, it has been very cleverly hid
den President Harding is keeping
hands off, in contradistinction to a
certain other president who assayed
to be both engineer and fireman, con-
ductor and motorman. However, hav-
ing 'single track mind according
to his own expression, possibly he
was constrained to develop the habit
of playing single-handed game. Be
that as it may, the world is call shot
to pieces" and if the doctors here as
sembled can give the proper diagnosis
and administer the proper medicine,
we may not be out of the trenches by
Christmas, but we will be thankful
forevermore.
1t may not be regarded out of place
/ to state to the passing world" in
closing. that The Associated Negro
Press has the only active newspaper
representative present, in behalf of
Colored Americans, at sessions of the
conference. Nahum Daniel Brascher
editor-in-chief of The Associated
Negro Press, has been granted cred
entails and given a seat with other
newspaper representatives in the
American press section. Mr.. Brascher's
seat is just back Of w. G. Wells, the
British correspondent, and directly
opposite the seat Of VIM. Jennings

SHARP ADVANCE EXPECTED
IN COTTON MARKET SOON
(Associated Negro Press)


New York City, N. Y, Dec g.
Our market recovered sharply recent
ly on short covering induced by more
favorable cable advised from Liver
pool and has ruled steady during the
greater part of the day. Our advices
from the South indicate that hedged
cotton is being offered at about the
same basis and unhedged cotton has
been withdrawn from the market on
this decline. On the other hand, the
mills are rather Indifferent, as they
find the dry goods market rather
quiet, with buyers watching raw cot
ton values closely. In other words,
the holders in the South, do not ap-
pear worried over their position, while
the mills wait for an improvement in
goods before entering the market. 1t
would seem from trade viewpoint
that both sides are waiting for the
other to make a definite move. In
the meanwhile there is a substantial
short interest here both or uncalled
hedge cotton and for speculative ac-
count. We believe the market is
thoroughly liquidated and while it
may hesitate for the moment at these
prices, feel that sharp advance can
take on unfavorable news.

DOINGS AT ARMAMENT
CONFERENCE AS TOLD
BY A. N. P. REPORTER
Associated Negro Press


Washington D. c., Dec. 2.-Is this
white mans world? In the last
analysis, that seems to be the big
question before the Limitation of
Armamen Conference.
Naval and land armament have been
discussed; the Far Eastern question
is under consideration; social cour-
tesies are extended to all members of
the conference in the same proper
ton, seemingly, yet behind every act
and every move there looms up the
great shadow of the darker races of
the world contending with the whites
for justice and equality of opportunity
1t has been interesting to observe
the battle of wits" from the press
reservation in the conference cham
bers. Both Japan and China have
matched, at every stage of the game,
the wisdom and diplomacy of the
United States, Great Britain, France
and all the, others. There is an in
stinctive feeling of pride, for one on
this side, to observe the grand com.
bfnation of colors.
Premier Aristide BRAND, the elo-
auent statesman of France, has come
nearer than any of the others of the
white races in reaching the soul of
the other peoples. Rugged, earnest
and convincing in legic and oratory,
he stood about the green tables, while
the world sat at his feet. One after
another, following his great address
on land armament, followed with ex-
preston of more or less approval, but
there stands his message. a master
piece Of craftsmanship utterances.
France, more than any of the other
great powers of the world, has risen
above the petty sophistries OF color.
France is loved by the Colored people
OF America, because she has inter-
woven with the spirit of her national
life the spirit of true liberty and
justice.
Things to Account
Said M. BRAND, in pleading for the
well being of his nation, to have peace
in the world, there must be a moral
disarmament" He was speaking of
Germany in particular, but the same
principle holds true with reference TO
lynching in the Sonth, or anywhere
else. The big question after all is
said and done in this: Are the hearts
OF the people right?
1t must not be forgotten that the
nine nations represented at the con-
ference officially, may represent the
present powers of the earth, but they
do not represent, by many millions,
the physical possibilities of all the
world. japan knows this, and China
is not forgetting it.
One of the Japanese visitors ad-
dressed mass meeting of Colored
Americans the other night at the
Metropolitan Baptist church, Colored,
and he brought message of great
significance to those who heard him.
He told of the importance of all the
Colored races Of the world pulling to-

cerned about conditions in India.
