BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright, 1924.
BUENOS AIRES, June 21.-Reports
fom Brazil indicate that that country
is not likely to offer encouragement to
large Japanese immigration. !
The plan of Japan to send 5000 fam
lilies there is not considered important
in view of the vast unsettled territory
but experience shows that while Brazil
has no color and no race problems now,
immigration of Japanese organized on
an extensive scale eventually would in
troduce the problem because of eth
biological reasons. hence it Is probable
that future governmental action will
discourage the same.

letter read recently at an Emancipa-

G. Allen, read: "This occasion is a
most appropriate one for survey of
the marvellous progress which the
colored race in America has made in
the historically very brief time since
it achieved liberty. 1t has been said
often. but it is so true that 1t Is
worth repeating many more times,
that there is no historic record OF
such accomplishment by n race of
people in so brief a period.
Measured by their material
achievement in the acquisition OF
property and substance; or by their
advance in education and equipment
for the full duties of citizenship or
by their participation i9 the great
task of building and defending the
nation of which they are part, the
colored people of the United States
have made a record which they may
well regard with profound satIsfac-

Klan Reasonable
And Ubiquitous
Says Kentucky Inter-racial
Group in Fourth Annu-
al Meeting

Louisville, KY, Jan. 15.-VigOr-
Gus protest against the injection of
race prejudice into political cam
paigns, scathing arraignment of the Ku
Klux Klan, the unveiling of the bug
bear of "social equality" and the adop-
tion ofsconstructive plans for 1924,
were among the high lights of the
Fourth Kentucky Interracial Confer
ence, held in Louisville last month.
Several hundred people were in attend
ance, including leading men and wom-
en- of both races. A two-day program
OF addresses and discussion was car
ried out.
DR.. James Bond, state interracial di-
rector, reported encouraging improve
ment in educational, health and travel
ing facilities for colored people, and
the constant growth of understanding
and sympathy between the races.
There has been close cooperation be-
tween the Interracial Commission and
the state and local boards of education
and health, the Y. NJ. c. A. and the
United States Public Health Service.
Among the recommendations re-
ferred to the executive committee to
be worked out during the new year
were the following: That the study of
Negro history be put into the high
schools, and the study of race relations
into both high schools and colleges;
that equitable participation be secured
in all school bond issues; that the ad-
vantages offered by the Jeanes, Slater
and Rosenwald funds be availed of as
widely as possible; and that represen-
tation for the race be secured on the
State Board of Health. Another i'm
portant objective is the establishment
of a second standardized training col
lege for colored teachers.
With regard to the klan the confer
ence gave out the following state
ment:
whereas, the purpose of the Ku
Klux Kan is to stir up and make per-
manent race prejudice between the
white and Negro races, besides the in
Justice done to Jews and Catholics;
and,
whereas, the existence and meth
ods of the khan are contrary to the
Constitution of the United States and
the state of Kentucky, in that they de-
nv the right of every citizen to his life,
liberty and property under the protec-
ton of the law-and the courts,
"Therefore, we commend the excel
lent paper of Judge Hager, read be-
fore the conference, in which he shows
that the khan is reasonable, in that it
is contrary to human law as set forth
in the constitutions of the United
States and the state of Kentucky, and
is also contrary to divine law, as set
forth in the Holy Scriptures" 4
Another significant declaration was
the following:
"Resolved, That since neither race,
the black no more than the white,
wishes racial amalgamation, the mis-
leading phrase social equality should
no longer be permitted to hold back
the helpful hand of white people from
giving fair life opportunity to the Ne
gro."

"Our country is a republic. In

This, of course, violates the princi-

1t is idle to talk of freedom and lib
erty when through cunningly drawn
laws and tolerated chicanery Amer

fundamental rights. When you per-

cover and above these things, and
more difficult to deal with because
it is outside the law and cannot be
reached, there are organizations and
groups that have as their creed the
banding together for the purpose of
drawing distinctions against certain of
our citizens, based on race or creed.
AS an example of this is the Ku Klux

There must be no compromise on n
matter of this kind"

WORK OF ASSOCIATION "AMER-
IcANISM OF A HIGH ORDER"
Colonel Roosevelt said in part:

Colonel Roosevelt said in part:
"I strongly endorse the work that
has been and is being done by the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People. 1t is con-
structive work of high order and
as such is practical Americanism OF
great value. We have far too great
n tendency in this country to content
ourselves with words. Words are all
right in their way, but amount to
but little unless they predicate action.
The National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People both
breaches and practices its preach
ments and that is why 1 am strong
for it.
"As I see it, the ends we must
strive for in this country divide them
selves largely into two groups. Both
of these groups are covered by the
work of the association. The first is
to see that colored Americans get all
the privileges to which they are en-
titled by their American citizenship.
The second is to aid in every way the
DEVELOPMENT of colored Americans in
order that they may take up and
carry with credit the responsibilities
of citizenship.
Favors Enactment of Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill.
"The ideals underlying our en-
deavors under both of these groups
are thoroughly in accord with our con-
cepts of Americanism. l have SAID
that words are valuable only if they
predicate action. Therefore If the
ideals l have outlined above mean TO
us more than empty words, we should
set about seeing that they are prac-
ticed in our country. For this reason
1 favor the passage of the Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill Though others nave
been lynched, the vast majority OF the
lynching outrages are perpetrated on
.colored Americans. Regardless, how
ever. of who is affected thereby,
lynching has been for a long time
stencil in the nortrils OF all hperl9-
loving, law-abiding Americans. Many
an innocent man has suffered there
by, and for those who are guilty OF
crime, the punishment should be in
flicted through due process of law
and in no other way.
"Lynching has not simply destroyed
its victims, but in addition 1t has con-
trayened our American principles.
There are those who say that the
Over Anti-Lynching Bill would not
eliminate lynching in this country
Perhaps they are right, but at least
If would indicate how the country, as
Il country, feels toward such brutal
lowlessness. We should pass the
Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, and after its
massage use every legitimate en-
deavor to have it legally enforced.

found thruout the southern section of
the state and for the production OF
bright leaf tobacco, are said to be the
equal Of any found in the United
States.
Bright tobacco has not been very
successful cmmerciallyo in the Piedmnt
section of the state, though there are
types of soils in this region on which
it can be grown, says Prof. Lowry.
Appling and Durham sandy loans
will produce fairly good grades, but
they do not occur in very large areas,
and frequently they areleached out
to considerable extent. This will
make it doubtful if tobacco will ever
become a commercial crop in this Sec
ton of the state, it is pointed out.

TOBACCO SOILS CONFINED
TO COASTAL PLAIN SECTION

After several years experience in
growing tobacco the soil types to
which this crop is best suited have
been determined, says M W. Lowry

These tyres are confined mainly to
the coastal plain section OF the state,
he says, and while 5:l,dll areas Suita-
BILE for tobacco culture may be found
in other section, it is doubtful if they
are large enough to warrant the
growth of this crop on a commercial
scale.
Bright tobacco, the circular sets out,
requires ligh. sandy loan soil which
is well drained and which has bright
yellow or orange colored subsoil. I'm
form soil is desirable and any vari-
alton will have marked influence on
the quality of the crop. .
The tobacco soils of the coastal
plain, described by Prof. Lowry, and
recommended for tobacco culture are
