COMMISSION ON RACE SOLUTION is
HELPING SOUTH, SAYS R. E. JONES

Atlanta, Ca, June 2S.-"The
movement for the promotion of good
will. mutual confidence and co-opera-
tion between the dominant races in
the South is regarded by many as the
most significant of its kind since the
Emancipation" said Bishop r. E..
Jones of New Orleans, La, eminent
clergyman, in his report to the re-
cent general conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church in session In
Springfield, Mass. Expressing pleas
ure in the opportunity to cooperate
in this movement, Bishop Jones gave
the following survey of its spirit and
work:
I'VE have found in the South a
group of white men and women who
are sincere and courageous in their
desire for justice, equity and peace
for all men. The movement began
as one of our after-tne-war necessi-
ties. At first faith was small, vision
dim, hope uncertain, but the work
grew until now out of 1000 counties
in the South, 500 or more are duly
organized with joint committees rep

resenting both races. There is a
central Office at Atlanta with DR.. w.
w. Alexander, a minister of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
as director. Most of the states have
full time interracial secretaries.
Some of the states have two secre-
taries, one white and one colored.
The organization of the woman's
department of the commission on
interracial cooperation has brought
to light fine heroism on the part OF
the women. These women have
added strength, dignity and conf
dence to the commission. There has
been opposition in some quarters,
misgivings in others, lack of interest
in others, but the movement still goes
forward with confidence and intel
ligence. This ideal of promoting a
better understanding on the basis OF
cooperation and a more adequate
appraisal of human values will
strengthen our national government
and its reaction will be felt through
out the world"

GERMAN MAN POWER
LOST BY EMIGRATION
Population Cut 6 Per Gem
Since 1918.

Berlln.-Germany had 8 per cent
less population at the beginning Of

the proportion of children under ter

Emigration Is making violent reduc

Discussing the migration of the
sturdiest Of Germany's young farm

FINDS RADIO WAVE
SLOWER THAN LIGHT
Navy Astronomer Offers an
Amazing New Theory.

San Francisco, Cal.-The discovery
that the radio wave travels slower
than light was announced by Capt.
J. ]. See, professor Of mathematics
In the United States navy, government
astronomer at Mare Island navy yard,
and well known authority on the
theory of ether.
According to Captain See the radio
wave travels around the globe with q
velocity of 165,0OO miles a second,
while light travels $4,000. Captain
See considers that his discovery in
the velocity Of the propagation Of the
radio wave about the earth may prove
the most notable step in the develop
ment Of the wave theory since Roe
mer's original discovery Of the velocity
of light in 1878.
Outline Of Theory.
An outline Of the chief conclusions
communicated to the London Times is
condensed below:
Il. The mean velocity Of the wire
less wave was found to be about 49,.
600 miles per second. This figure 10
about 1900 miles per second less than
that Of light, but ten years ago we did
not suspect the cause.
"2 In March last a wireless signal
was sent from the sending station near
New York to Warsaw, Poland, and re-
flected back in O.054 Of a second OF
time. The double distance Is $500
o,,A mt
about $4,000 miles per second.
"3. The mean Of the two lndepend-
ent determinations Of the wireless
wave Is 165.5OO miles per second.
Phenomenon 10 Explained.
"a. What is the cause Of this
The aetheron or particle of ether is
only one-four thousandth part as
large in diameter as the hydrogen
molecule, so that compared to ordi'
nary molecules Of the size of oranges
the aetherons would be like smoke
from a cigar, and moving with a We
locity Of 294,OOO miles per second
The wave travels through the solid
earth as well as through the air and
free space above the air. but Is much
resisted in the solid globe. AS the
ether Is CSC, e,321 10000 times more
elastic than air in proportion to Its
density-thus almost infinitely elastic
the medium cannot suffer a break In
its continuity. yet the movement above
the earth Is held back by the slower
movement of the wave In the earth
The resistance in the globe thus acts
as a drag on the wave at its base,
The result Is that the wave bends
around the earth, as long known yet
heretofore not generally understood.
IS. This bending Is quite analogous
to the change Of form Of water waves
as they run ashore-the top Of the
wave gains on the base.
THE results are Of interest in con
nection with the wave theory Of mag
netism and the cause Of universal
gravitation, because they bear on the
cause Of the fuctuation Of the moons
mean motion"

or seriously proposed that serves as
continuous open forum for the ma
tions, because it is the only approach
to democracy among governments.
Without it the financial interests Of
the great powers and those most
powerful, subtle and menacing of all
financial interests, the international
bankers, are sure to control interna-
tional relations. They are always on
the job; they know exactly what they
want.
Secret diplomacy, the old order of
international affairs, might not be
particularly dangerous in these days
of newspaper enterprise if it were
not for the existence of these huge in
ternational interests operating across
national bounaries. The danger
comes not from the diplomats, who
after all are known, but from the
financiers, who operate behind the
scenes.
OtiUW ISTDUuS ODleCIIFeS
The phrase international fnan-
cier' seems to imply that the cosmo-
politan bankers represent some form
of internationalism. This is the re-
verse of the truth. Along with GER
tain legitimate and necessary func-
tions the very nature of their work
compels them to follow dangerous
and reactionary objectives. They
seek to export capital regardless of
the results on the exporting nations.
regardless of the fact that such capi-
tai may be much more needed at
home, regardless of the fact that the
nation loses entire control over that
capital over long periods.
SIN so far as they regard them
selves as pure and simple business
men, the international bankers do not
hold themselves responsible for the
political results of what they do; for
the ENHANCEMENT of our government
to protect their rights in politically
backward countries; for the fact that
the transfer of American capital to
one nation rather than another gives
certain American interests a special
concern with that nation as against
other nations regardless of the inter
ests of America as whole.
Exported capital is expatriated
capital and international bankers had
better be called denationalized bank
ers as far as many of their functions
are concerned. Talk about super
power'i International finance is to-
day the super power. The only ques
ton is whether that super power can
be offset and matched by demo-
cratic international body which has
at least that degree of super power
necessary to deal on equal terms with
supernatural finance"
