California Central Creameries held
its fourth annual convention of exeeu-
tive officers, branch managers and
heads of departments in San Francis
co, Nov. % and %.
This gathering, which was presided
over by President c. Z. Gray, brought
together some forty of the company's
experts and specialists from its vari-
Gus branches and factories through
out the state.
From Imperial Valley R. H. Cary.
manager of the Imperial Valley divi-
sion, and F. w. Glazier, accountant.
were in attendance.
The four business sessions of the
convention We're given over to an an
alysis of the company's affairs dur
ing the past year and to formulating
policies for 1922 which will best serve
to coordinate the company's work and
to stimulate progress in the dairy
industry as a whole. ~
The convention conferences, which
covered a wide range of subjects in
volving all branches of production.
manufacturing, and marketing OF
milk and milk products-included an
address by President Gray, in which
he declared that the company had
come through the critical period OF
financial depression and uncertainty
which confronted the country follow
ing the world war-stronger thar
ever before. President Gray outlined
program for next year which in
wolves the manufacture of some seven
or eight million bounds of Golden
State skinned milk powder. 10000
0o0 pounds of butter, 100000 pounds
of Swiss cheese and large quantities
of by-products.
a discussion of the company's ex
acting requirements of high quality
for all manufactured products turned
out by its factories, developed the fact
that this quality policy has resulted
in greatly stimulated demand for

Golden State products in both local
and foreogn markets.
The export business of the COM
pany received special consideration
and the reports submitted to the
convention indicate that it has as
sumed such proportions as to furnish
a favorable outlet for large quaint
ties of Golden State butter and skim
med milk powder.
The convention was brought to a
conclusion with dinner at the Fair
mont hotel. Among the speakers
were c. C. Moore, president of the
Panama-P Pacific International Expo
sition and director of California
Central Creameries; B. G. Tagnazzi
vice president and financial manager
of the company, and B. H. Rawl, for
merly chief of the Bureau of Animal
Industry of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, who recent
ly Joined the executive staff of the
company. A feature of the dinner
was the presentation of two hand
some gifts by the assembled dele
gates to President Gray and to Vice
President Tagnazzi-as a token OF
the high esteem in which these prin-
cipal executive officers are held by
the organization.

"Retrenchment is worldwide
policy and necessity which the state
can well afford to accept in its full
est extent, but thus far in California
the policy of retrenchment has been
discarded for policy of interench-
ment.
by reason of plausible excuses, by
wilful manipulation of figures, by
self-praise and laudation, and by a
manumeptal system patronage that
reaches from one end of the state to
the other, the administration conf
IDENTITY expects to becloud real issues

next general election.

complete failure to fulfill the fire.
qquently uttered pledge of Governor
Stephens four years ago that he
would bring about reduction in state
expense. Therefore, the governor
and others discard economy as a vote
getting medium and now discuss EFF
ficiency.'
Economy is concrete subject and
one with which the average man is
thoroughly conversant, both in his
business and his home, but efficiency
is an altogether different matter
and may mean little or nothing in g
genuine discussion of the practical
results of the Stephens administra
ton.
while it was impossible for the
governor and his henchmen to go be

economy basis they seem confident OF
their ability to do so on the eff

that cost of government in California
has increased in 10 years more thar

population and more than four times
greater than the rate of increase il
the states wealth.
But, even more dangerous to pub

financial methods is the governor;
successful effort to usurp Legislative
functions, functions designed to check
executive domination and autocracy

event. In the South, where there are
laws against intennarriage, practical-
" all of the UNLAWFUL mixing
goes on as it is promoted by the
difference in the social status Of the
white and colored people. The surest
way to maintain racial purity would
be to repeal all Of the Southern jim
crow laws. So long as the colored
people are a voteless people and on a
lower social and civil plane, the IL
legal racial mixing will continue.
That is history.
In his enuemration Of what the
colored people desire, Rev. Alexander
omitted two Of the most important
things the right to vote and the
abolition Of public segregation. There
IS absolutely no hope Of settlement
OF the race question on just Amer
lean lines if the South is to have the
leadership, especially if that leader,
ship is to eb vested in the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, which has
ever been the foe of the colored peo-
pie from the time Of the split over
slavery in the forties up to the pres
ent time when the church refuses to
merge with the Methodist Episcopal
Church, North, because the latter
church elected colored bishops.

THE "MENAcE" OF BuDDHIsM

!. A woman who has been a Christian
missionary i'm Japan for 18 years call
ed the attention to the Disciples of
Christ, at a recent general confer
ence, to the growing menace of
Buddhism. She said that Buddhist
priests and teachers arecoming in in
creasing numbers and are urging the
Japanese in the u. S. to have nothing
to do with the Christian religion on
the ground that it's followers call
them inferior and Cypress them. She
also stated that Buddhism is also
gaining among Americans and that
many colored people were being con
verified. 1t is not strange that the
religion of the gentle Gautama Buddha
should appeal to the colored people,
because it not only teaches the equal
<ity of amnkind, but practices its
teachings. Orthodox Christianity in
the U. S. teaches inequality of race
and Expresses, disfranchises, lynches
and burns colored Christians at the

NOT A LEADER IN THOUGHT.

Bearing Tuskegee date line, an
excerpt from the London (Engand)
Times is going the rounds Of the
press, lauding the head of Tuskegee
Institute; and it says among other
things: "Dr. Motion is the leader of
Negro thought in the U. 81 This
statement needs some qualification,
Motion was put in as head of the
school because the interests which
support it wished him there as a
mouthpiece through which they could
express THEIR thoughts. Emmett J
Scott was the logical candidate for
the place, but it is said that at the
meeting at which the election took
place, some one suggested that Scott
would not be so easy to control as
Motion. That decided the matter.
THE APPEAL does not under
estimate the strength of DR.. Motion
He has powerful interests behind him
and he has a large following, but he
is in no sense a great thinker or a
leader in thought. There are thou
sands of colored men who are in
every way superior intellectually and
yet are not hampered by some of the
traits he has shown. Specifically, in
the matter of his alleged refusal to
protest, against the election of his
wife from Pullman sleeper several
years ago, his alleged speeches to the
colored soldiers in France, and his
continual laudation of the South in
his public utterances.
DIR. Motion has recently written a
book called, "Finding a Way Out, -
but as a reviewer said, he seemed to
be "getting in deeper" Although
written in grammatical English, there
are no "high lights" and certainly no
evidences of great thought or literary
ability.
To the most casual observer, "Ma-
jor' Motion is not leader in thought,
but follower, who not only thinks,
but says that which pleases the
South, and as a reward the South
gives him not justice for the people
he is picked to represent, but a pat
on the back as a ''good negro"

that it is the duty Of the world to

TROUBLE WITH THE SOUTH.

TROUBLE WITH The SOO ~.
In an article in the Smart Set Mr..
H. L. Mencken, a Southern man, says,
that the South is still suffering from
the debacle of ffty-six years ago. He
says:
"That debacle almost obliterated
civilization in the whole region, and
so the surviving Confederates took to
sentimentalizing the civilization that
had collapsed and departed. That
sentimentalization, in the end, became
sort of sacred duty, benevolent
mania, furious and unintelligible
cult, and the Southerner himself a
walking sarcophagus of dead ideas.
The result was that human
thought in the whole region was re-
duced to a mere poll-parroting of for
mulae. The Southerner became the
most indiotic patriot ever heard Of in
terrestrial history. Everything South
ern took on sacrosanctity in his eyes,
from the swinish politics Of the job
seekers who herded the cracker and
Confederate veteran vote to the bar
barrie theology of the Methodist and
Baptist dervishes, and from the pious
nonsense of the rowing Prohibitionists,
free-silver fanatics and generalized
chautauquans to the revolving indie
cencies Of the Southern cotton-1nill
owners. All conceivable human prob
lens were precipitated into platitudes.
To question these platitudes became
downright dangerous to life and
limb"

mands enfranchisement based on edu-
cational qualifications.
AT the second session of the Pan
African Congress held in Brussels,
Belgium, an American delegate, Mr..
Hunt, brought to the congress "the
salute of 100000 American colored
people" M. Diagne, president Of the
congress, in replying to Mr.. Hunt
emphasized that it was to the social
and political interests of the United
States to destroy all barriers dividing
the white and black races in America.
He poionted out the signal advan.
tages which would accrue to the u.
is. through the perfect uniication of
the races. M. Diagne, black man,
is a member of the French Chamber
of Deputies. This is in striking con
trast with the preachments of an
American black man, Principal Motion
of Tuskegee, who fails to speak out
for absolute equality for the people
white people selected him to repre-.
sent. ~:
At the third meeting of the Pan.
African Congress held in Paris, France
nj. Candace, colored man, member
of the French Chamber of Deputies
from Guadeloupe, decried the "Africs
for the Africans slogan and de-
nounced Carney, who has been preach
ing the taking of Africa by force
M. Bellegard, Haitian minister tt
France, also took a stand against the
Garvey plan. The manifesto adopted
declared that the African redemption
plan was a chimera. eve do moi
hate the white race, what we seek is
cooperation and Cancellation. The
colored American could not stand the
African climate. We can not oust
the Europeans from the Dark Con
tinent, and we do not desire to do so.'
The program laid down in the
manifesto is just and proper and the
only one to which self-respecting PEG
pie Of African and part African de-
scent could subscribe. We are GLAD
that the Pan-African Congress has
gone on record for the principles laid
down in the Christian Bible, by God
who 'of one blood created all nations
Of the EARTH" ...>.
