Senator Heflin, democrat, of Ala
 bama, attacked the majority for de- laying action, declaring that Wall
 street was behind the move for de- lay in the hope that the bill could be
 killed meantime by a propaganda
 which the senator charged was being conducted by the war rich" He
 also attacked metropolitan news papers opposing the bonus and de- clared that some of the papers in opposition were Subsidized"
 The two democratic senators were attacked by Senator Lenroot, repub- lican, of Wisconsin, who declared that they delayed final disposition of the bonus bill by the time they had taken up in discussing it. He charged also that the time was being occu- pied for the purpose of making some political capital out of the situa- tion.' Senator Watson of Indiana then offered his motion to make the bonus the special order of business after passage of the tariff and Sena- tor Ashurst, democrat, of Arizona, jumped into the fray with a demand that there be an understanding that once the bonus was taken up it should not be displayed 6y the ship subsidy or any other bill.
 Senator Borah of Idaho said he would not consent to any such agreement.
 Launching into an attack on the bonus bill, Senator Williams, demo- crat, of Mississippi, declared this was a measure to commercialize patriotism. He asserted that what the American soldiers did in the war could be rewarded only in honor.
 "The man not worthy of being re- warded in honor," he said, lis un- worthy of being rewarded at all"
 Senator Williams charged that if tte bonus could be "held out over six months it would have less votes in the senate because then the elections would be over"
 This bill, he asserted, will receive 20 per cent more votes before the elections than it would after elections and "you all know it."
 This drew fiery reply from Sena- tor Ashurst, who said there had to be a stop to the impugning of the motives of senators supporting the compensation measure. He wanted to know where opponents found the ground for their contention that they were honest in their opposition but that those favoring the bill were try ing to get votes by their support Of it.

ulations elsewhere, primarily in the
United States.
There can be no question that the
Negro civilization of Africa will hence
forth develop under the ever-fhcreas-
ing influence of white civilization. 1t
will, however, be unfortunate if all
specific tendencies, all local color
characteristic of such civilizations, will
be submerged in the process of as
similation. 1t seems more than prob
able that the importation of the white
mans civilization into Africa, if &C
companied by humanity and absence
of prejudice, will not result in the
complete obliteration of the indig-
enous traits OF Negro civilizations,
while furnishing these with the tools
and advantages of the modern white
world.
"By far the most difficult aspect of
the Negro problem refers to the Ne
gro populations outside of Africa, pri-
marty in the United States. There !
can be no question that complete le-
gal emancipation is desirable, neces-
sary, and will within the near future
be attained. The social aspect, on
the other hand, appears, much more
gloomy. DeeP-rooted prejudice, sup
ported by certain physical reactions
and backed by historical tradition,
;annot readily be d;slodged. Here
he work will be tedious, painful and
1t will rot be achieved
without whole-hearted and self-sacri-
icing cooperation on the part of
white and the Negro alike. But if
10Th groups assume their share of
responsibility, their ultimate success
4 this domain also cannot be

definite data to support the conten-

the Negro, to the white.

must, of course, be admitted that
other races, with the possible excep-

whether any but purely historical
causes need be invoked to account for
the differences in the civilizations be-

moreover, be remembered that in lust

Bent of body, furrowed of counte-
nance, feeble of gait and unregenerate
in mind embittered by defeat, and
holding until their last breath the re-
bellious spirit which animated them
in 1865. the fast-failing hosts of a
cause that was unpatriotic and I'M
honored save by themselves, are gath
cred together in the city where their
desperate hopes were centefed for
four long and bloody years. In uni
forms that we're and are the badges
of their revolt against the United
States Government, many of the few
remaining warriors who fought under
the stars and bars of the Confederacy
received in Richmond the last tributes
of love and admiration from those
who were hke-minded, and the COM
passionate tolerance which many
Americans have for their
hayward, misguided and backward
brothers."
