ANALYzES THE
NEW NEGRO"

The Negroes. like many other
groups, are restless. In some respects
they are more fortunate than those
who dominate them. They are rest
less, but they know what they want
This, in substance, was one OF the
striking statements made by DR.. Park
at Lincoln Center. Friday, III a lecture
on Negro Race Consciousness. DR.
Park made it plain that he would treat
the subject merely as a student OF
human nature and had no solution TO
offer. He agreed with Prof. Kerlin
that a people producing poetry is nc
pcrishing. but has visions for the
future.
The lecture discussed in detail the
Negro folk songs, showing hew they
constituted a transcript of Negro life,
and that those most satisfactorily ex-
pressing the racial thought or feeling
racial dreams and reflected the hum
bic, resigned, other worldly attitude
OF the slaves as well as their passion
ate ycarnng for freedom. The old
Negro still sings these songs. hut not
so heartily. The younger Negroes
largely refuse to sing them, and put
aside everything that reminds them OF
slavery.
After slavery was abolished came a
period OF effort, conscious effort, TO
achieve citizenship status. This, too,
was reflected by poetic attempts, many
of-them very bad. few cony;acing. very
artificial, lacking in spontanicty. Here
the Negroes were acutely conscious OF
themselves. The first real poet TO
emerge was Paul Lawrence Dunbar,
who. according to DR.. Park was SUI
perfcial, in that he reflected so little OF
the struggles OF the Negroes during
the period in which he did his best
work. This poetry was that OF tran
+sition.
The last subject discussed was that
of the Negro Renaissance. Here there
is rebellion, self-assertion, radicalsm
even Bolshevism, a preachment not
other-worldly but OF the present world,
a touch OF cynicjsm, and a tendency
toward introspection. This tendency
itself is a type OF consciousness. Here
there was a DEPRESSION and the soil
darity between mulattoes and full
bloodcd Negroes was cOntrasted with
relations in other countries. In Euro
pean and South American countries
the full-blooded are at the the bot
tom, then the mixed bloods; in Amer
lea alone do the mulattocs identify
themselves with the full-blooded Ne
groes in social class. DIR. Park gave
his conclusions that the negro was
awake. learning to read and think, and
also that he was beginning TO form
coalition with other darker peoples, as
ovid epred he tho C,arvev movement
and the Pan-African Congress.

COLOR QUESTION
TOBE: BIG|SSUEA
ARMS MEETING

WASHINGTON, Nov II. - Ac-
cording to Prof. Herbert J. Seligman,
now writing for the Washington Tri-
bune, it is the race question, and not
disarmament, WHICH is the chief issue
At the arms conference about to be
held in Washington.
According to the wr:ter European
society maintained itself at the ex-
pense of the colored peoples OF the
world. He says further:
What is the especial interest Of the
Washington conference for the col
ored races of the world;
Millions OF the colored races of the
worll have been held in subsection by
those very armies and navies, which
the white governments finally turned
against each other Every nation tax
ing part in the Washington Confer
ence has committed crimes against
weaker colorcd peoples Great Britain
has held India. She fought China to
force the Chinese to buy that terrible
drug. opium Even now there are up
risings in India which are being put
down in bloody combat. France has
imposed her rule on Indo-China.
Belgium. Germany, France, Great
Britain have killed, robbed exploited
the natives of Africa, Haiti for five
years was subjected to the boyonets
NJ Tf1itpd States Marines
This robbery Of the weak has been
known as imperialism. European gov
ernmcnts reached out for territory in
which they could obtain raw materials
cheap and make the natives buy man
ufactured products at a high price.
The excuse was often that it was
necessary to "civilizc" the natives or
maintain order" What the men in
control of the white governments were
after, was profit, money And the
most effective part of the transaction
were armies and navies.
In reaching out for undeveloped ter
ritory, the white governments came
into conflict. A number of writer's, in
Guiding Mr. E. d. Morel and Mr.. Wal
ter Lippman, in his The Stakes OF
Diplomacy" have asserted that it was
scrambling over the loot in Africa and
other territories that brought about the
World War. The greed of white gov
ernments found its punishment.
The time has come when Western
Civilization will have to change its
methods in dealing with the colored
races. For Africa has been gobbled
up. There remains only China and
the Far East to sbe disposed of.
Europe has been maintaining. its in
equitable and out-of-date society at the
expense largely of the colored races OF
the world. They will have TO be taken
into partnership and the machinery of
force discarded by which they have
been held in subsection.
This is the broad background of in
terest for the colored peoples of the
world. black, yellow and brown, in the
Washington Conference.
So it will be seen that it is not
merely disarmament" which is to be
discussed there. In fact the invita-
ton to the conference did not mention
the word disarmament"

PICKET PROTEST
AGAINST birth
Of NATION OK.

/, NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 1.-THE
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, 20 Fifth
Avenue, New York, has announced
that the five pickets, who were arrested
and convicted for distributing circu-
lars against the Ku Klux Klan in
front of theatre showing the Birth
of Nation" film in New York, on
May Z, had been freed by Judge Al
fred Talley in the Court of General
Sessions.
The FIVE pickets were Katheryn
Iohnscn, Helen Curtis, Laura Roll
lock, Edward Frasier and Llewellyr
Rollock.
The case is OF wide significance for
Judge Tallcy in his decision afirms
the right of citizens of New York to
protest publicly by circular distribu-
ton against what they believe to be
a movement, as in the case Of the Ku
Klux Klan, subversive of their rights
as citizens.
The ordinance under which the
pickcts had been arrested, said Judge
Talley, was designed TO prevent the
streets being Uttered with commercial
advertising matter
In speaking Of the ~ A. A. c. P.
circular distributed by the pickets,
Judge Talley said
The circular which the defendants
were distributing bore the announce
ment that it was published by the
National Association for the Advance
mont of Colored People, and the de-
PENDANTS were acting as agents OF that
Association The paper which they
distributed was entitled, Stop the Ku
Kiux Propaganda in New York and
was an appeal to the public not to en-
courage what, it was claimed, was an
effort to glorify through the medium OF
a moving picture the activities OF an or
ganization which. it was asserted. had
for its primary purpose the stirring up
OF prcJudices and animosities against
certain races and religions in this coun-
try. 1t would be a dangerous and I'M
American thing to sustain an intcrpre-
tation OF city ordinance which would
prohibit the free distribution by a
body OF citizens OF a pamphlet setting
forth their views against what they
believed to be a movement subversve
OF their rights as citizens"
The case in the Magistrates Court
was defended by Aiken a Pope and
James C. Thomas, two eolored attor-
lreys OF New York. Mr. Thomas has
since beer appointed Assistant United
States Attorney. The appeal to the
Court OF General Sessions was taken
up by Mr.. Pope, whose brief in the
case was a mastery effort This vic
tory is a victory fer free speech.

POSTMASTER ASKS AID
DURING PERFECT
PACKAGE MONTH

Postmaster Arthur c. Lueder an
nounced today that the Post Office
Department and the express and rail-
way companies have joined in nation
wide effort to stimulate greater inter
est in the good packing OF parcel post,
express and freight packages. Novem-
Der has been selected as the perfect
package MONTH" during which an ac-
tive campaign will be conducted to
induce all mailers and shippers to give
their attention TO the manner in which
their goods are packed, the kind OF
containers used and the writing or
marking of addresses plainly and COM
pletely. This is of great public in
terest, because in the end the public
must pay the bills for lost or damaged
shipments Therefore, the public
should be deeply interested in a cam
paign that will tend to reduce losses
and improve the service.
Christmas will soon be here and it
is especially desirable that care should
be exercised in the preparation OF
packages at this time because now the
occasional mailer or shipper will be
sending packages. Articles easily
broken should be carefully wrapped
in corrugated or shock-absorbing pa
per. The department stores use this
kind of paper in delivering breakable
articles. 1t would be an excellent
practice for housewives to save this
paper for use when they are sending
out their own packages.

PERU RUNS DAILY NEWSPAPER SEIZED.
 EARLY IN MARCH
Legal Battle Won in Courts to Compel Government to Return the Plant to
 Its Original Owners
B. A.seniatnd Prs.

Lima, June 11.-The Peruvian gov ernment Is now engaged in the publi- cation of a daily newspaper. an un- usual venture in South America This Is the result of seizure by the gov ernment of the newspaper La Prensa in March last. The council of minis ters issued a decree authorizing ex- propriation of the newspaper on the ground that 1t was "the center of a conspiracy and that for the past two years 1t had been "a deliberate inciter of rebellion and revolt"
 The attempt of the government to control the conduct of La Prensa has been the cause of much comment among Peruvian newspapers and newspaper men Fl Comnercio, the dean of the Lima newspapers, has charged in an editorial that the gov ernment has committed a most grave attack against liberty of thought and against private property"
 There Is legal battle on to com pei the government to surrender the newspaper to its former director, Luis F. Cisneros. Augusta Durand, owner
 
 He for more than IS months and Is now said to be In Bolivia.
 Senor Cisneros is conducting the legal fight to recover possession of the paper. which Is now administered by an editorial force and business management installed by governmene agents.
 Cisneros has obtained a writ from the correctional court ordering the prefect of police to restore the prop erty to him. but the prefect has avoid ed doing so by notifying the court that the paper Is in the hands of the government Cisneros then brought suit for writ in the supreme court of Peru. demanding g return of the property. but this was denied. The court held that 1t could not yet inter- fere under the appropriations law en- acted about 10 years ago.
 Meantime the government has de- posted the equivalent of about s65. .000 to the credit of the former owner of the paper, this amount representing its value fixed by an inventory.
 The public Is watching the contest and awaiting the next step with much interest.

tion are of such large proportions. each being 700 feet long and S5 feet h diamater, as large as many of the great ocean liners, that the manner of docking them presented serious problems in engineering. but it Is believed that the Lakehurst hangar will go far toward solving many os these problems.
 First in importance came the ques- ton of doors to the hangar. Each leaf of the two doors, there being two leaves to a door, is made up os 800 tons of steel and corrugated as- bestos. There leaves are supported on concrete trucks which in turn rest on wheels the size of those cn a freight car. The leaves are rolled apart by a 25-horse power electric motor. If man power were needed to open the doors, it is estimated that 1,50o men would be called on Naval experts calculate that the giant doors can not be rolled open within Is minutes and the entire process of housing enc of the dlrigi- hles will consume approximately 40 minutes.
 Running lengthwise through the hangar is railroad and three troll ley slots technically described as docking rails. The dirigible about to enter the hangar will be cable-fa ened to those rails, which extend on a l,500 foot runway at either end, and guided to its berth.
 Under the roof among a network of steel rafters. five monorai. cranes
 support movable platforms which enable workmen to repair an air craft after 1t has docked. There raf- ters are so far above the floor of the hangar that the workmen resolve themselves into mere specks.
 Windows Opened By Motors
 So large are the glass windows in the sides and the roof that indiv. dual motors are necessary to open each window.
 Every precaution has been taken tp make the hangar as nearly fire proof as possible. The concrete floor is asphalt covered to prevent falling tools striking sparks and possibly exploding gas.
 Searchlights of high intensity will guide the dirigibles at night and sunken lights, arranged like crosses. at the end of each runway. will fla cilitate landings.
 Like the doors the entire sidinr of the hangar is of corrugated as- pestos, arranged in strips, alternar- ing between gray and two shades of brown. Experts declare 1t will be impossible for hostile observer to dentify the Lakehurst hangar from the air.

B|G TERMINAL FOR GIANT AlRCRAF I YEARS COMPLETION
Is as Large as Three City Blocks and Windows Have to Be Opened By Electric
 Motor Power
By Associated Press

New York, June 11.--Americas first great terminal for giant aircraft Is nearing completion at Lakehurst. N. J.
 This structure. the largest of its kind on earth, is sos feet long, 264 feet wide. and 1s5 feet aign. Some idea of its immense size may be gleaned from the fact that if set down in a city the hangar would oc- eury three solid blocks. Its doors at each end stand more than 175 feet high and are 264 feet wide. A 16 story skyscraper could be pushed through the space disclosed by tho doors when they are opened.
 The hangar is officially known as the navy airship hangar, and repro sents the latest word in construc- tion for buildings of this type. It is planned to have 1t ready Tn the early Summer to house the two giant diri- gibles now under construction, the 2 R-i. building at League Isiand navy yard. Philadelphia and the z R-2 nearing completion in England. The Transatlantic flight of the latter is scheduled for late in July or early in August and the United States navy department plans to have the hangar completed for service before the air. ships are ready to sail.
 Incidental to the hangar is & gi- gantic mooring mast to which great dirigfbles may be tied when 1t Is impracticable to house them Inside the hangar. The mast is so con structsd that the giants of the air will bs moored, bow on, and will swing in the direction of the wind thus avoiding the dangerous force sxerted by high winds. The result of experiments with the Lakehurst moortng mast will determine the pol icy of the navy department In erect ing similar mooring masts at various air stations throughout the country, such as St. Louis, Kansas City.
