FORD SAYS THEIR
NAME is WOLF

Henry Ford in his Dearborn
Independent is pretty hard on
the profiteers and all those
who palmed off cheap worthi
less goods at exhorbitant prices
on the government and who go
without punishment, while 9TH
ers who indulge in little harm
less talk against some petty Of
ficial, perhaps, are given the
limit of the law, and then some.
Henry says you may rob the
Government and get off but
that if you think enough of
America to criticise the govern
ment too severely you may go
to jail. The Dearborn Indepen-
dent then goes on to say when
big business men in time of
war send socks to the soldiers
that will not stand an hours
route march, send saddles to
the the army that viii not stay
on a horse and harness that
will not pull load of ammuni-
ton or food to beleagured
troops in the front line-when
this actual practical and decid-
eddy harmful treason is prac-
ticed, the guilty ones stand a
very good chance Of getting off.
Those whose crime is only an
unsteady tongue and a misin-
formed mind, must be punished
to the limit.
That magazine then goes on

teers who were convicted in
Illinois by government attor-
neys -fter long and bitter
fight. The courts fined the con-
yicted men and sentenced them
TO prison. Then the wires to
Washington began to work. Illi-
nois Senators and others be-
sieged the President for remis-
sion of the sentence. President
Harding had the strength to
refuse to grant a pardon but he
did commute the sentences.
And that is the kind of act
which plain people cannot un-
derstand. There were boys shot
at the front To- doing things
not one-millionth part as i'm
moral or dangerous as those
that the Illinois profiteers did.
But their sentences were not
commuted; they did not have
any money! So

PARIS GIVES
APOLITENESS
TIP TO i. S.

Paris, France, July 6.-An incident
in which four American tourists re-
fused to make an excursion through
Paris because the vehicle contained
twelve black soldiers were taken up in
a two column leading article in the
Petit Bleu. The newspaper demands
that tourist agencies insist that their
patrons respect the customs of the
country in which they are vacation
ing.
"These Americans behaved as vul-
gar persons" says the Petit Bleu.
"Their ridiculous aversion for men OF
color contains no excuse. They are
not at home but in our country. which
is an entirely different affair. The
protest of these individuals, devoted to
white integralism, merited a severe
lesson, and it is to be regretted one
was not given which would make them
see all colors.- 1t is unfortunate that
it was not made apparent that a
Frenchman, whatever his color, is
worth at least any foreign tourist"

Link Johnson
Wants Women
on Auxiliary
Colored Representative on
Subcommittee of Ma
tional Republican Or
ganization Planned

" ASHINGTON, d. c., July s.
w Criticised and knocked as seldom
before in the history of its exist
ence by colored voters, the National
Republican Committee faces another
fight today.
1t all comes about because of the
announcement of Henry Lincoln
Johnson, of Georgia, only colored Ma
tional Committeeman, that he will
name a colOred woman from his home
state as member of the Woman's
Auxiliary to the National Republican
Committee.
The advisability of such a female
National Committee has been agreed
upon by Chairman Adams, President
Harding and others influential in
party management in order to give Re
publican women the same representa-.
ton Democratic women have in their
organization.
The plan is to permit each member
of the National Committee to name a
woman to represent his state. This
gives Mr.. Johnson the authority to
select for Georgia. Naturally this
peeved the few white Republicans in
Georgia, who have filed a protest with
Chairman Adams.
Far from giving in, Mr.. Johnson has
told leaders that the majority of
Georgia Republicans are colored and
there is no reason why white woman
representative on the auxiliary would
be picked. In addition, he has let it
be known that in other Southern
states where colored Republican vot-
ers predominate, the woman represen-
tative on the auxiliary should be col
ored.
Party workers are using every in
fluence to make Mr.. Johnson change
his mind. But they recall that he re-
fused to resign from the National
Committee when offered the $1,000
post as minister to Liberia. On that
occasion he told the administration, he
would never resign from the commit
tee, would not accept post outside of
the United States, nor accept any post
in Washington, however, flattering,
which would make him cease function
ing as a member of the Committee.
If Mr.. Johnson will not give in white
Republicans are talking about redis-
tricting Georgia, so as to give Nation
al Committee representation in 1924
to the three Congressional districts of
the State which cast the bulk of the
Republican vote in 1920. Johnson's
home district did not yield large Re
publican vote and the anti-Johnson
Republicans hope to unhorse him by
this scheme, if he cannot be persuaded
to quit.
