negro laborers against Revolutionary
influences is to assure them their de-
mOcratic rights.
The best way to keep them out of
Communist unions is to admit them
to the regular unions, or to form
regular unions of them. In fact, the
safest policy toward the negroes
generally, as they become more edu-
Gated and therefore better able to
make trouble if they are so disposed,
is to see to it that they get all their
rights under existing laws and in
stitutions.
What are the rights of a negro?
Exactly all the rights of a white
man of the same character and other
qualities with only one exception.
That is the right of intermarriage
with the white race, and to inter
mingling in those social relations
which naturally lead to marriage.
This one line we will draw.
We must safeguard this one line,
but to draw no others. If this is done
there will never be any danger of
agitators, Russian or Homegrown
corrupting the loyalty of our negroes

For at least once in their lives our
teachers and pupils have realized the
sensation that comes from going into

railroad goes. In and out the pupils
marched before the camera, while
the operator "shot" them going anc

perience, and perhaps ere long we'll
see ourselves on the silver screen.

The League of Nations dedicated
the session in which the stoppage of
the war between Greece and Bull
garia was announced, to the memory
of Woodrow Wilson. 1t was the
voice of history, speaking on a his
toric occasion.
How long it will be before Ameri-
ca does full justice to the memory of
Woodrow Wilson, only time can tell.
And, when the verdict is made up,
it will include the judgment that
the pathological obstinacy of the
stricken president was a large ele-
ment in defeating American partici-
patton in the unification of the
world, of which he was the founder.
But there can be no question that
the worlds of BRAND, in his tribute
to Wilson, were the voices of perma-
nent history, in America as we'll as
in Europe, giving to Woodrow Will
warson his Just place as the author
of the only constructive result of
the war, and the founder of new
world order.

With the death of Mrs. Sidney
Drew in Los Angeles the other
day passed the lone remaining
member of pair of light come
dians who gave our moving pic
lures some of the shrewdest,
cleanest comedies the films have
known.
With her husband, who died in
1919, she made many comedies
of married life. They weren t
slapstick stuff, but they were hui
man and they were funny. 1t was
good, wholesome humor, and it
came at a time when good,
wholesome humor was a scarce
article on the screen.
The movies owe quite a debt
to Mr.. and Mrs. Drew. And so
do all the rest of us who like a
healty laugh.
One of the accusation most
often leveled against us by crit
les from abroad is our tendency
to standardize everything to one
dead level.
AS tar as material things go,
this is a good tendency. But in
other matters it is different.
Don't insist that your neighbor
hold the same moral and mental
standards that you hold. Don
demand that there be one stand
ard and one only for all the coun-
try. Let's have as much variety
as we can.
For Standardization, in such
matters, is the enemy of free
thought. And. great as our
country is it could stand few
more thinkers. 40

the United States must be advised

These "iken" taxes are tariff
lmposts collected by the separate
provinces or local governments at
their own frontiers, on goods in
transit, in addition to whatever ma
tional duties may have been col
lected at the port of entry.
1t is easy to abolish thes duties
on paper. But what Commissioner
Strawn asks for is a plan for abolish
ing them in fact.
SO long as the local authorities
are stronger than the central gov
eminent, and will not obey it's or
ders, something more than q. paper
prohibition is needed. China will get
tariff autonomy as soon as it is
autonomous in its own affairs. But
until the Chinese government can
govern China, foreign powers must
continue methods of protecting
themselves, which would be preOos-
