SECRETARY JOHNSON: OF N. A. A.
C. P.,CONFERS WITH PRESIDENT.

Secretary James w. johnson, Sec
rotary Of the National Association
for the Advancement of the Colored
People, in a recent conference with
President Harding, emphasized the
important fact that the national as
ISOLATION was not interested in the
parceling out of petty jobs, but that
it's interest was in the enactment Of
measures to relieve oppressive con-
ditions affecting colored people.
The specific points discussed were:
p 1. Passage of a federal anti-lynch-
ing law by Congress.
2. A wide and thorough investiga-
ton of peonage conditions in the
Southern states, to be made by the
Department of Justice, followed by
the punishment Of the perpetrators
of the peonage system. LII
3. An investigation of disfran-
chisement in the South and the right
of the Negro to vote under the iden-
teal qualifications required of other
citizens.
4. The appointment of Nation
al 1nter-racial Commission to make a
thorough study of race relations.
s.. Congressional investigation Of
both military and civil acts Of the
American occupation in Haiti.
6. The appointment of colored as
sistant SECRETARIES in the Departments
Of Labor and Agriculture
Z. The adjustment by executive
order Of all race segregation in the
Departments at Washington and the
United States Civil Service. 81.
Some of: the things asked for are
good, but others are bad, as we shall
endeavor to show editorially in our
next issue, We also believe that

A REAL RELIGION.

The Bahaist Congress is in session
in Chicago. The Bahaist faith is diff
ferent from the larger Christian sects
in that it not only believes in, but
practices, the brotherhood of man.
To Christians, except a few of the
smaller sects, a colored man is a
''nigger'; to the Bahaists he is a
brother in fact.
The Bahaists are building in Will
mette, a Chicago suburb, a $1,OOO,0OO
temple, called Mashrak ell Askar.

THE RACE QUESTION,

In his first message to Congress,
President Harding said: .-,. -
Congress ought to wipe the stain
of barbaric lynching from the ban
ners of a free p and orderly, repre-
sentative democracy. We face. the
fact that many millions of people of
African descent are numbered among
our population and that in a number
of the states they constitute very
large proportion Of the total popu-
lation. ..-s
ut is unnecessary to recount the
difficulties incident to this condition,
nor to emphasize the fact that it is
a condition which cannot be removed.
There has been a suggestion, how
ever, that some of it's difficulties
might be ameliorated by a humane
and enlightened consideration of it,
a study of its many aspects and an
effort to formulate, if not a policy,
at least national attitude of mind
calculated to bring about the most
satisfactory possible adjustment of
relations between the races, and of
each race to the national life.
Zone proposal is the creation of a
commission embracing representatives
of both races, to study and report
on the entire subject. The proposal
has real merit. l am convinced in
mutual tolerance, understanding, char.
|ity, recognition of interdependence OF
the races and the maintenance of the
rights Of citizenship lies the road tc
righteous adjustment"

 And no wonder, considering what went into the making of the picture. It was adapted from the unusual short story of Calvin Johnston which re- gently was published in The Saturday Evening Post, and which made such a profound impression on all who read it; it is a George D.

GOVERNMENT
 WILL ACCEPT
 FORD'S OFFER

Washington. Sept. 21-Early ac- ceptance of Henry Ford's offer for the Government nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals was indicated following a con- ference between Government officials and representatives of the Detroit au- tomobile manufacturer. Those at the meeting were Secretary of War Weeks, Secretary of Commerce Hoo yer, Major General Taylor, acting chief of U. s. Army Engineers, and W. B. Mayo and J. W. Worthingto on, of the Ford engineering department.
 Several suggestions were made to the Ford engineers by the Govern ment officials and 1t is probable that MT. Ford will give his answers per sona11y at another conference to be held here in the near future.
 Today's meeting was taken up en- tirely with engineering problenno in vo1ved. It was explained sAN4 the Government does not. w0ns to turn the plant over until the engineers of the successful bidder thoroughly un- derstood, from the viewpoint of the involved in the undertaking. The Government and Ford engineers are said to be in accord on practically all of the main points involved and that the suggestions made are of a minor character.
 From the beginning the War De- partment has considere< the offer from two angles-the engineering and the financial. It is expected that both will be considered finally at the approa ching conference with Mir. Ford and that the deal will be con- c1uded at that time.
