WHO SOLD LIBERIA?
BY William Pfckens
(For the Associated Negro Press)

The Republic of Liberia has been bought by the
United States fve-millon dollar 'loan" Who sold
Liberia? Did President King and plenary commission
sell it, or did the voters of Liberia sell it?
What Hayti has been resisting with its life. Liberia
has accepted for five million dollars. We could hardly
expect Mr. Harding out of Hayti while he is buying
his way into Liberia We have respect for Hayt
for it took FIVE million bullets to accomplish in Hayti
what a mere fvemillion dollars has done in Liberia
And then, too LIBERIA WILL NOT GET THE
MONEY. The money will go to "the financial commits
sioner of Liberia" white American to be appointed by
the government, to his large force of high
salared clerks and assistants, and the rest will to
pay off debts which Liberia is said to to big white
American firms and to build such roads and transpora-
ton communication facilities the financial COM
missioner deem to make it the easier for
him to hold and control Liberia
This white American will have more power in
Liberia than all the Liberian If the small
est clerk in the financial commissioners Office should
his gun and walk in and kill dozen members of the
Liberan government including the President himself
this little clerk could be arrested and tried by the
government of Liberia without the consent of the
white the financial commissioner. The clerk could
be fred by the people of Liberia for all
of the financial commission shall be designated by
President the United States. during his
pleasure. and Liberia has signed up to give them m-
munity" in all cases whatsoever. unless the financial
commission may agree waive immunity in parti-
cular
This is exact pattern of the system for dealing
with Negroes in Mississippi; white is appointed
to look after the whole lot of them and they have no
appeal through this white man. and generally
this white finds himself a convenient Ne
gro whom he trust" and there there is nothing
doing in any Negro cause unless it is brought
through this channel. though the white man
may be a narrow bigot and the Negro simln-head
Surely President C. d. B. King knows the meaning
of English words and knew that he was selling Liberia,
body and soul, when he signed that treaty And Mr..
Harding and Mr. Hughes, both members of the Baptist
Church, knew that they driving hard bargain

Down in Tampa, Florida, the Negro Chamber
of Commerce has petitioned the city authorities
for play and recreation ground for Negro chill
dren. All! here's a good job for our Reverend
George Washington Camp Maybe the service he
could render the Colored people of Tampa would
be more appreciated and considered as real serv-
ice there more so than his work along the "play-
ground line" in st. Paul, because the people there
want separate playground. Anyway, he is good
man for the job and there's always room for a
good man.

ARTICLE OF
THE WEEK
ETHIOPIANIZED AMERICANS
(By Dumas the Third.)


Jasper and Walter. two elderly
men Of dark complexion. being the
inhabitants of Chicago. a city of e.
normous wealth as well as profound
poverty, were sitting on the door
steps OF Jasper's residence. where,
as they conversed on different sub
jects. noticed the passer-by, animals
in the street, wagons, and so on,
now then speaking about these "psy-
chology conceptions of externalities,
Jasper was an ex-farmer, while,
on the other hand. Walter was a
presser, one who cleaned and press
ed clothes. Hence, both of them be-
ing of different vocations, Jasper who
had principally lived in the country
as farmer, and Walter, an inhabf-
tant of the great city of Chicago as
presser. they had quite a variety
of subjects to speak Of; thus, that
Jasper was a great thinker and an
tiquarian, he said:

never looked before. This being the
case. Jasper, as he picked UP a pot-
trait of Tarakos, the Ethiopian king
of Egypt, said:
within my hand l hold the inspi-
ration of Africa! This king, set down
by Manetho, is the heart and soul of
Ethiopia, the ruler of Libia! This

A OF TRADE

The state Of trade over the country
as reported by Bradstreet's for last
week was cheerful. Conservative op-
timism rules despite the threatened
railway shipments strike. Much hoped
for from coal conference. Trade fair
and most industries active at turn OF
year. Cement and automobile trades
report demand and output at peak.
Finished steel prices higher, as are
scrap and coke. Higher labor and fuel
costs reasons assigned. Car loadings
at peak of year. Crops show improve
ment. Textiles quiet but strong in
first hands. Seasonal goods selling
well at retail and with jobbers. Labor
scarcity more complained of, due to
building, steel and auto trades bidding
against each other. Stock market
quiet and lower. Increased borrowing

COUNTY CAMP FOR GIRLS

The annual county camp for girls
will be held this year from July II
to 26, under the auspices Of the Y. w.
G. A. at Lake Tetonkaha on the same
site as it was held last year. The
lodge which is being built by the
Brookings Camp Council will be used
as kitchen and dining room and tents
will be used for sleeping quarters. z
The first week Of the camp will be
for grade school girls and the second
for high school girls. Any girls in the
county are welcome to attend. The
cost will be $500 per girl, part to be
paid in cash and part in food. The
camp is not a money making affair in
any way as the charges simply cover
the actual expense Of food and trans
p%ortation. There will be a regular
daily program under the supervision
of competent advisors. Registrations
should be Sent in at once to Miss
Laura Keith, secretary Of the Y. w.
c. A. at Brookings.

KRIEDlER WILL SING HERE

Louis Kreidler, the eminent Ameri-
IA baritone, who will appear here on
Friday evening, July IA, at the college
auditorium, is one Of the great bari
tones receiving his training entirely
in this country. He is a native of
Pennsylvania, spending the early
years Of his life within the sound of
both the Bethlehem steel works and
the Bach choir of that city. With the
latter. he has been a most successful
soloist On many different occasions.
Contrary to most musicians, Mr..
Kreidler did not enter the profession
Immediately after leaving college, but
started out in the business world in
the manufacture Of flour. While he
had never studied voice he always
sang. He seemed happiest when he
was n%eglecting business obligations for
anything that pertained to music. Fl
nally upon the advice of friends he was
prevailed upon to give up his business

POTATOES GROWN ON HI FARMS

A complete change of seed potatoes
will be made in Brookings county by
1924, says H. j. Boyts, county agent.
Potatoes have become a very import
n cash crop in Brookings county.
Every grower Of potatoes for market
has learned that it is necessary to
greatly raise the quality of the crop.
Seed is the first consideration in doing
this. The 70 growers who have plant
ed certified Early Ohios this year can
produce a number one grade in the
fall. OF course, good cultivation is
necessary and the crop harvested
with care.
Most of the certified seed this year
will be retained in the county for seed
or sold on the market for food. Some
will seek a special seed market.
There were SIS acres Of potatoes
grown on the average farm of ESQ
acres in Brookings county last year.
Potatoes were grown on I'LL farms
in the county. About $50 farmers are
growing 10 acres or more on their
farms. These $50 growers by 1924
will be able to market number one
potatoes by raising certified seed.
Every farmer will have an opportunity
to purchase certified Early Ohios from
his neighbor next fall. This seems
like a cheap and easy means for the
average farmer to better his quality
Of potatoes.
South Dakota undoubtedly will
establish a strong market for potatoes.
A uniform grade such as can be devel-
oped through certification is the
e at hand and the good growers
are using it. The greatly increased
yields and a sure method for good
grades are essentials that should make
certified potatoes a permanent system
for potato production.

ucts for vast distances, and that our
profits were all eaten up by those
charges.
And thus it came about that from
purely selfish reasons, If no other, a
slackening up of the sale of struc-
tural steel hurt us just as badly as a
slump in the sale of butter did in
former years.
the farmers Of America are directly,
and l hope, intelligently interested in
the marketing of every form and va
riety Of American manufactured prod
ucts, realizing that after all it is only
another phase Of the sale of agricul-
tural products.
The farmers Of America also appre.
ciate the fact that, now we are a
creditor nation, we are compelled to
sell our manufactured products more
than ever before in foreign markets.
We also understand that since we
cannot reach any foreign country ex.
cepting Canada and Mexico by land
transportation, it is absolutely neces-
sary to employ American ships.
Hence it follows that our interest
in the shipping question is no longer
vaguely sympathetic or a matter of
patriotism or of argument, but that
it is a question Of life or death to
American business prosperity.
The maintenance of the American
home and fireSide is dependent upon
regularity Of employment, which an
not be maintained unless there is
regularity of sale of American prod
ucts, whether agricultural or manufac-
tured. There are many reasons why
the manufacturing and shipping inter
ests Of America can depend upon the
voting strength and support of the
farming interests of the country, and
this interest and support will be great
er in exact proportion to the distance
of agricultural regions from tidewater,
because it is the cost of transportation
Of farm products from the farm to the
consumer and the ability of the ear
by consumer to purchase farm prod
ucts that settles the whole question
as to whether it is worth while to be
a farmer or not.

Of phenomenal. After several years Of
