to be approved BY Congress, the Euro
politicians for whatever relief, il any,
they may get
However, Mr.. Baldwin did not make it
clear that Congress, with respect to the
debts of the Ally nations, has acted adj
versely to the interests of the United
States He did not say, in so many words,
that the members of Congress are an
ignorant lot But he implied that by de-
scribing them as representatives of peo-
ple-"country people who "have no &C
quaintance" with "the meaning of the
international debt" "
He went on to define a basic differ
ence between England and America.
Whereas the former elves on internal
tional trade" the latter lives largely by
agricultural production. "The people Of
the West" he said, merely sell wheat
and hogs and other produce and take
no fur incest in connection with
the internatior~I debt or international
trade" In our Eastern cities, he admit
ted, he had met people of the English
way of thinking; "but this cuts no ice
at all with regard to the other parts Of
America"
There may be grounds for this implied
criticism of America and her people. In
deed, it is all too true that too many
Americans devote no serious thought to
governmental affairs. 1t is fact that
they leave such matters too largely in
the hands of politicians.
But, ever so, the chancellor Of the Brit
ish exchequcr fails to show wherein either
the American people or their govern
mental representatives have wrought any
injustice to this country's foreign debtors.
He has not made public any funding plan
that would test the American peoples
r.ental capacity. He has conferred with
some of our executive officials, as was
proper But if those officials undertake
to put through Congress any measure
pertaining to public funds-and certainly
the loans to the Allies came indirectly
from the Americans pockets-they could
only expect the lawmakers to reflect the
opinion OF their constituents when the
matter was put to vote.
Thus far the American people have not
inquired into the technical phases of the
foreign-loan matter; they have had no
occasion to do so. Their position is SIM
ply that the debts should be paid. and
that nations of any integrity at all will
meet their obligations. If there are any
fundamental changes to be made in the
arrangements under which the Euro
peans obtained so much of the American
peoples money, our rural as we'll as our
urban citizens are ready to listen to pro-
posals. Moreover, the average American
citizen is not so ignorant that he would
be unable to give fair verdict on such
questions.
If there be any popular prejudice against
concessions in favor of the Allies, it is the
latter who are to blame. Their efforts
to get their war debts cancelled created
very bad impression here However,
the American people and their representa-
tives in Washington, comparatively bu-
collie though they may be, and devoted
more to the production of wealth than to
the worldwide distribution thereof, would
listen respectfully to any proposition that
was not designed to cheat them out Of
that to which they are entitled

ing tr. BILE, but of meeting it manfully
when it shows itself, is matter of vital
significance TO young and old alike. Or,
again to quote Patton;
1--WE must endeayor to face facts
realizing that sooner or later we shall
not escape the price of evading or dodg-
ing unpleasant or critical situations.
I'VE can only hope TO be free, in the
best sense, when we have settled with
the present. The future will then more
probably adjust itself"

Dem. Convention
Holds Attention
(By The Associated Negro Press)

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 17-Colored
men of democratic persuasion are
turning their eyes toward Chicago,
where the National Convention of the
National Colored Democratic League
will meet August 2Sth at the Hotel
Vincennes. Major Adam e. Patter-
son, Asst. Corporation Counsel, whose
address is the City Hall, Chicago, and
Atty. Ferdinand @. Morton, Civil
Service Commissioner, of the city Of
New York, have charge of arrange
ments. New York is expected to send
a large delegation, and the attention
of all colored democrats is called to
the fact that the meeting is simultan-
eous with that of the Elks, which will
give delegates the advantage of re-
duced railroad fare. Drs. VIM. j.
Tompkins and Howard Smith, as well
as A. V. Monholland of Kansas City,
James Ross of Buffalo, and Rios. r.
Smith of Baltimore, are among the
prominent democrats expected.

tice that we mentioned that we men
of the Rails represented all told an
army of 10000 men, $4,000 of
whom are regularly employed by the
railroads of the country. We are
now pleased to state that there is a
movement on foot to get that army
under proper control and in working
condition. We are getting together
on that job in the great city of Chr
cago, where call has gone forth for
1000 men Of the Rails who are ready
for duty; in order that we may pre-
pare for day of better things. From
Chicago the fire will sweep on to 9TH
er cities. This will be known as
Step No. 1. AS we have said of all
other movements, IL we merely talk
and do nothing then we too must be
classed with the now famous nom
productive Institutions, which we
might add, are riding upon the backs
of our group, posing and proposing
but doing nothing, while the masses
waitin vain for real issues and plans.
We have had many conventions al
ready this summer in many parts Of
the country, and still more are to
come. These all cost money and big
money too, but what fruit have they
borne; what real plan or issue have
they brought to the people upon
which they might base their hope for
better days in the future? We Men
of the Rails must continue our fight
until these nor-productive institu-
tions are made productive and are led
by men and women Of ideas. For we
will continue to be the prey almost
indefinitely of those who think and
our young men and women will be
surrounded with poor opportunities
and will continue to knock at the
door Of larger employment only to be
turned away, just so long as we re-
fuse to build factories and stores.

"Who are your" asked George.
Il am the Pond Fairy" said the
fairy.
"But I've never seen you before"
said George. And then a bright
thought came to him.
OF course he had never seen her
before! She would not bother with
the ordinary green frogs Of the pond,
but she had noticed him. At last he
would be appreciated. At last some
one had already appreciated him.
Il see you agree with me-" George
said, as he made room for the fairy
on the pond lily leaf upon which he
was sitting. "Pve been thinking for
some time that / was above the crea-
lures Of this pond. I'm really out of
place here. The others-well, you
know-they're all right enough in their
way. But the truth of the whole
matter Is they're common, goog-a-
room, ordinary. goog-a-room.
THAT'S why you've come to call on
me, I'm sure. You can see I'm out
Of the ordinary"
"Yes. can see that" said Pond
Fairy.
George Green Frog gave a queer
little throaty laugh of delight.
"As matter Of fact" continued
Pond Fairy, 'T've come to ask you If
you'd like to leave Lily Pond and move
to some other place.
Although my name Is Pond Fairy,
because I visit ponds from time to
time, my home Is not here"
George opened his eyes very wide
and gurglei delightedly.
II knew It; knew what would
come to me-" he said to himself. 81
knew I should have adventures above
all the other frogs In the pond. All
] was wise not to mix too much II
their society.
"Wise, indeed. All yes, George
Green Frog is very sensible"
would you like to visit away from
here?" asked Pond Fairy.
"oh, pardon me, pardon me-" sale
George Green Frog, 1--WE almost for
gotten my manners. It's all because
I've been living with such ordinary
frogs.
II will come with much pleasure
Much pleasure, indeed"
And the Pond Fairy smiled to her
self. For she knew that at hear
