their supposed-to-be drive against the horrifv-
ing conditions which exist as a result of racial
differences. Neither are we going to embrace
the race problem in its entirety, for although
segregation is one of the most violent and
damnable of all expressions of race hatred, it
is only one of the many
To the point, in this article, we describe a
few OF the experiences suffered by the Negroes
Inundated by racial segregation
m-Crowism" on public carriers is preva-
lent in many of the southern states of the
United States, and is provided for by very rigid
laws which impose a fine upon individuals of
either race who cross the line drawn between
them. The "Jim-Crow" cars are usually filthy
poorly constructed cars in which the men and
women use the same toilet None of the con-
veniences of the railroad are enjoyed by them
although there is no difference in the cost of
passage charged. In answer to the question
why do they ride, them" they can either
ride in the ''Jim-Crow' cars or-walk.

utes beneath the Mason and Dixon line. is
the separation in public restaurants stores,
ETC.; in fact, the Negroes are not even permit
ted to enter many such places of business
When they make purchases in the stores, thew
are subjected to insults. An illustration has
been passed from lip to lip in the form of a
joke: A Negro went into a tobacco store to
purchase package of Prince Albert tobacco.
The salesman said, "Hey, Niger don't ask for
Prlnce Albert-you must say Mister Prince
Albert was a white man"
In the legalized separate schools the Negroes
receive an inferior type of "Jim-Crow" educa-
tion In schools poorly equipped by appropria-
ions much smaller, in direct proportion than
the appropriations for the schools of the
whites. In addition to this they-the Negro

children-have much shorter school terms in
order that they may be exploited in the cotton
fields as long as the season permits. The alb
ject poverty of the Negroes under the wage
slave system of the south, makes it impossible
for them to improve this condition.
The dsfranchisement of the southern Ne
groes by the enactment of network of clever
laws and the practice of "terrorizng' methods
is the most outrageous piece of political OPP
preston imaginable. In this the citizenship"
of the Negro is nothing more than a lot of
bunkum
WE pass on from the south--saying nothing
- of the many other methods of humiliation
that occur in the every day walks of life, on
the public thoroughfares in the homes-and as
we confne this to Segregation we do not de-
scribe the mob law, outrage of black woman
hood, discrimination in trade unions, courts of
justice (16 minute trials), etc.
We come to the north where the spouters of
republican politics have control of the law and
order We come to the north where ''civ
rights bills" pronounce illegal" open segrega-
ton and what do we find? Simply that the
laws, in the majority of cases are not worth |
the paper upon which they are inscribed. In |
many parts of the north the schools are sep |
arated, the theaters discriminate and the prac- |
tice of residential segregation is at its height |
Both the segregation in the schools and in |
residential districts are abbetted by petty-bour- |
geois Negroes in the persons of teachers and |
real estate grafters who profit from the segre-
cation of their own people. And residential |
segregation automatically effects segregated
schools. cvre stt stas
In the city of Chicago, a typical northern"
city, the open segregation is more or less
crushed but more subtle and equally effective
method is practiced and residential segregation
is very prevalent. |

MOST of the Russian bourgeoise made their
way abroad, bearing with them all their
portable property of this kind as soon as they
realized that the Bolshevik regime was likely
to last. AS usually happens in such cases. the
first to leave were the best off. The longer
the once well-to-do waited in the hope of bet
ter times, the harder was it to get away from
Russia, and to gain an entry into foreign
land. The harder, above ell was it to get away
with whatever articles of value were still left
The route was uncertain In the days of the
persecution of the Huguenots, the Protestant
States had an official welcome for refugee Co
reHgionists No such welcoming hand was
held out by any bourgeois state" to members
of the ruined capitalist classes of Russia
Nevertheless, legally or Illegally they made
their way by hundreds of thousands into Cen
trail and Western Europe. Those among the
emigres who had saved most out of the wreck
tried to get to France always, to the Russians,
the Land of Hearts Desire), or else to England.
Earlier financial relationships had made of
Paris second home for wealthy Russians But
considerable proportion of the sometime
great industrials and banking magnates set
tied in London. AS regards numbers, Germany
and especially Berlin were chiefly favored in
the exodus, above all during the early days
The settlers in Germany, however, belonged
mainly to the middle bourgeosie and the petty
bourgeOisie The refugees belonging to the
upper bourgeOisie went farther west. q

between Russian large-scale capital on the one
hand and the Franco-Belgian large-scale capi-
tai on the other, the more influential Russian

foreign banks and insurance companies have
been favOrite investments. The emigres who
had lined their nests in this fashion were not
merely saved from ruin; they were supplied
with platform for renewed financial activities
in the land of their adoption.
The result has been that some of the mem
bers of the Russian colony in Paris are already
playing prominent parts in the banking world
of that city. Kamenka, formerly chairman of
the Azoff Bank and perhaps the weaIthiest

to which the creditors of Russia in the Allied
countries belong. Kokovtsoff's chief competi-
tor in Paris is Leonid Fedeorovich Davidoff.
who used to be president Of the chamber of
credit and is now chairman of the Russian
Bank OF Paris. This Petersburg bank for for
eign trade was, in the days before the war.
the first Russian bank to gain firm footing in
London as well as in Paris. The former Russ
ian government relied upon the services of this
bank when Russia was cutting loose from the
Berlin banking house of Mendelssohn. and
was beginning to transfer the Russian loan
market to Western Europe and especially to
France. Kokovstoff and Davidoff are antag-
onists in politics as well as in finance. Kokovt-
soft and his bank are the fulcrum of the czarist
reaction in Paris whereas Davidoffs Russian
Bank tends rather to be the rallyng center for
the bourgeois-democratic emigres.
THE industrials did not fare so well as the
fnanciers, for the factories were in Russia
and could not be removed. Still, a fairly large
proportion of the Russian industrial magnates
OF the old days have managed to transfer some
of their wealth to foreign parts. Denisoff and
Putiloff, who used to be the most commanding
figures in the world of Russian heavy indus
try, are probably millionaires even today for
they had large holdings in foreign enterprises.
They both live in Paris. Other magnates of
Russian heavy industry, men whose interests

THE ruling class has many weapons which
they effectively use to keep the various ele-
ments in the working class constantly leaping
at one another's threats. One of the most
common methods used to drive this wedge
between racial groups, is in the practice of
segregation of Negroes in the United States.
Before plunging into the heart of the sub
ject, we pause to call attention to the fact that
frequently, in the role each individual plays in
any system, these individuals as SUCH are
wholly unconscious of the significance of the
part they are playing. For this reason, the
rather hazy conception of just what" and
why about segregation is still prevalent
among both whites and the blacks, and the
solution of the problem with apologies to
those who dislike hearing it called a "prob-
lem') is unknown to the greatest majority of
them.s

ate some of the stupid, unscientiic, ridiculous
