I argued.

for instance. Had a man with a
toothache. He began ringing the bells
just after we left Columbus, and, be-
lieve me, he kept me on the jump all
night long. I got him hot water, and
at Pittsburg I even went to the drug
store and tried to get him some other
dope. The druggist wouldn't give It
to me without prescription, and /
happened to know a doctor nearby,
who did me the favor to write the

Just then the bell rang, the indi-
Gator registering upper one. There's

ter; and before he could say more, a
stylishly dressed gentleman entered
the smoker at a rapid gate. He was
fully clothed, excepting shoes, and a
neat gray hat and overcoat adorned
his head and arm, respectively. -
Are my shoes ready, George?" he
asked, politely. The porter replied
by handing him the dandy tans,
which he deftly put on as the whistle
blew for the next stop.
Brush me off. George-I'm get

tone. as he jingled some coins in his
pocket.

Of very we'll defined program of sur
Vival. This program for England,
and as it is hoped it will embrace
America, has in mind the considera-
tion of darker peoples, but most GER
tainly not on a plane of equality of
opportunity. There is hard at work
in both England and America, a set
determination to permit darker peo-
pie to go "only so far" 1t is a great
program If it works. But will it
work?
The darker peoples Of the world
have some ideas of their own on this
subject; and according to the admis-
sion of some of the closest students
Of the subject, there is now going on.
and has been for some time, a "rising
tide of color"
The shadow of. Russia Is, also, on
the horizon. This shadow greatly
disturbs Secretary of State Hughes
and others. Well 1t might. In fact,
from one viewpoint, it cannot be fully
understood why Senator Borah, who
has never been over friendly to Col
ored America, should with a small
group of other senator's, favor recogr
milton of the Soviet government of
Russia. Russia, without regard to
the sentiments of yesterday, has wip-
ed out age old traditions of oppres-
sions, and opened door of oppor-
tunity to the humber peoples that is
most amazing, according to reports
from eye-witnesses. ....
An observer of Russian conditions
informed the representatives OF the
Associated Negro Press, for example.
that in the matter of education,
where under the czar, the peasant
and the Jews were kept in ignorance
and horror, the Soviet government
has come along and opened up schools
to all, and opened up ways for repre-
sentation in the government. .
What of the South?
In this connection, 1t Is well to ask:
What of the American South? There
are prophets who say, as in a twin
king Of an eye, the time will come
when the miserable system of op-
preston and Acknowledgement in the
states of the South will be wiped out
just as surely as the thing has been
wiped out in Russia, as 1t Is feared
by England that it will be wiped out
in India and South Africa, and as it
has been wiped out in other sections
of the world. This is not "propa-
ganda" in the ordinary sense of the
word, IT is plain statement Of facts,
and study of conditions that Col
ored Americans must understand in
the face of 1924 events.
Il resolves itself to the truism that
nothing that is not right can last
for long" This is proving true in
the case o. fthe Ku Klux, which is
dying everywhere by its own weight

Washington, D. C.--"To be, or not
to be? That is the question" and
Colored America. politically, has de-
veloped a united mind TO BE. And
here at the beginning of 1924 1t is
we'll to understand that it is a big
subject and a big job. The individu-
al, or the newspaper, that overlooks
the fact is out of line with the times,
and is not serving the people.
1t is worldwide subject, and in
this connection there can be nothing
more significant now than to quote a
few sentences from a recent article by
David Lloyd George of England on
impressions Of his recent visit to
America. Said Mr.. Lloyd George:
when America Is convinced that
1t Is her duty to save Europe from
ruin and that by intervening she can
save this distracted continent. Amer
lea will take the task in hand, and
not till then.
"Self-interest alone will not move
America to action. There must be
some impulse of more exalted char
acter. aE #~,
~r Question Of Leadership
"But like all national movements,
1t is largely a question Of leadership.
A great leadership could set America
going tomorrow on an irresistible cru
sade. VIII it come?
VI came back more convinced than
ever't that the hope Of mankind in the
immediate future depends on the ex-
tent to which the two greatest COM
monwealths on earth can be persuad-
ed to work together in world affairs.
"I know everything is to be said
about America not being Anglo-Sax-
on. Neither are the British Isles. and
the British empire has greater vari-
ETY. of races and tongues than even
the United States of America.
"All the same, the empire Is gov
erned by the same mixture of Celt,

Teuton and Norseman that ruled
America.

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE suit for
Infringement of patent brought by
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company against Station WIN
atop Loew's State Theater has been
Cropped, because of an agreement
reached between the parties whereby
WIN takes out license from the
telephone company covering the use
OF the radio parts which were de-
Clared to he infringements. Hence
forth WIN will operate on the same
basis as other stations licensed to
broadcast by the telephone company
The license fee was $4,000, which is
understood to hold for the life of the
Patents. ,.....
The settlement of this suit ends
what began AS bitter controversy in
the radio broadcaSting field, in which
the so-called independents lined up
against not only the telephone com
pany. but other concerns associated
with ii i'll the cross-licensing agree

DELAYED UNTIL FALL

Collected Sufficient Money

Announcement was made today by

Eanized in February to raise funds by
voluntary contribution to pay famous
musical artists for broadcasting. that
IL had collected ample contributions
80 give a number of concerts, but that
the present time was unreasonable to
undertake the work, and therefore it
would hold the funds intact over the
summer and give the opening concerts
in the fall. The only alternative, the
committee said, would be TO return
the contributions and abandon the
work.
The announcement said: IF in the
fall the committee should be unable
10 obtain the services of artists of
sufficiently high caliber. the money
Will be returned to the contributors
and the plan abandoned.
I'm dealing with the entire situation
the committee has been actuated Sole

public, independently of the radio station
or group of interests. While regret

the committee feels that by holding

NEW MOVE MADE
IN CHEMICAL SUIT
Government Will Ask for Re-
versaI of Verdict Rendered
at Wilmington.

: The Government made another move
today to recover the property involved
in the Chemical Foundation case
which was decided against Ii by the
United States District Court at VIII
inington. Del, several months ago.
The United States attorney for Della
ware was instructed by Attorney
General Stone to file an exhaustive
brief in the case with the Circuit
Court of Appeals in Philadelphia,
asking that the lower court be re-
NerSed and the case remanded with
instructions to grant the relief sought
by the Government
The original suit sought to compel
the Chemical Foundation, Inc, to re-
store to the United States all of the
formulae that were sold, assigned or
transferred by the alien property
custodian between April, 1919, and
November 4, 1921. All of the property
was seized during the war and its
value has been estimated in millions
of dollars. In addition to a return Of
the properties, the Government seeks
an accounting of the income and rev.
enues derived from them by the
Chemical Foundation.
The lower court erred, the brief
contends, in its construction of the
law. 1t cites many items as show
ing the alleged wrong Interpretation
of the law and added. This is sim
ply suit by the United States to re-
cover property once admittedly in its
lawful custody and transferred from
that possession and custody unlaw-
fully and in violation of express stat
utory provisions"
