Pan-Africanism or Pan-Americanism
Comes now the Fourth Pan-African
Congress, in solemn session August
q to "a, with the view to considering
the eight "irreducible needs Of our
people" Of the world It's press agents
indicate that this new deliberative ma
chine of Dr. w. E. B. Dubois has no
relationship to the Marcus Garvey
movement, Liberia, or Mississippi food
relief. 1t is an entirely new species
Of African Rehabilitation, which will
earnestly consider the demands of the
Negroes of the world for a greater
degree of participation in national and
international economic and political
life. The eight "irreducible" needs Of
the Negroes Of the world, according to
the Pan-African steering committee
deal with government, land ownership,
legal trials, education, the development
Of Africa, the abolition Of the slave
trade, world disarmament, and the Ne
gro laborer's status as bufeted by
Capital and Labor.
DR.. Dubois and his Afro-American
clan are to be augmented by delegates
from far, far away, who will lay their
prescriptions for African world dis
illusionment upon the dissecting table
and depart to carry back to their
homelands an ethereal panacea for AT
rican ills Of the world
We frankly admit that we are bit
in the dark as to the real issue of Pan
Africanism We know, of course, that
our forefathers emigrated, by both per-
suasion and force, more than three CEN
turtles ago, over to the Virginia capes;
and we know that since the Civil War
days, the shedding in America has been
rough and discouraging.
Yet, there are 50 many things to be
done here in America, before world
problems are approached, that we are
sincerely inclined to concentrate upon
Pan-American affairs, believing that if
We can cope with them we may then
be in a better position to carry glad
tidings across the seas.
For instance, we could concentrate
upon improving the educational back
ground and facilities which are avail
able to US in the u. S. A. Next, per-
haps, we could pool our resources and
create some industries and business
enterprises which would give increased
employment and better wages to the
folks at home. At the same time, we
could foment competitive atmosphere
which would give the white folks a
clearer picture of US as producers,
rather than consumers.
Politically, we might all really get
behind capable candidates for public
Office, or stop knitting" them when
some one else gets behind them. By
unity, we could create an atmosphere
which might pass an anti-lynching bill
with real teeth in it, and we could
blacklist and boycott those among US
who accept eleemosynary benefces
from the XII Klux Khan.
In other words, and with all due
respect to Prof. Dubois and his Pan
African cohorts, we could remember
the admonition Of the Monroe Doc
trine and beware Of foreign entangle-
ments For, to us it looks as though
our job will be right here for the next
hundred or so years.

Communistic Fool Fodder


James Jackson" of the Workers
Party of America, who is also said to
be an honorary member Of the Fourth
Cossack Cavalry Of the Red Army.
speaking through the "Communistic
International" official Bolshevist or
gan, has come to the fore again with
advice to American Negroes. After
decrying the slow growth of Marxism
among Negroes, Jackson admits that
it IS a waste of time to circulate the
same Communistic literature among
Negroes that is dispensed among the
whites; or to make the same Commu-
nistic speech before a Negro audience
that would be used to electrify a white
gathering.
This is strange admission for a
Communistic Negro leader to make,
in view Of that loathsome party's urge
for coalition between revolutionists
that will take no count Of racial stock
Can it be that Jackson and his RED"
masters are now about to accept the
time-honored custom of separating the
sheep from the goats, in a last des-
perate effort to plant the seeds Of Com
Even more amazing, however, is
Jackson's assertion that, since the
great majority of Negroes OF America
live in the southern states, where
lynching, political Northumberland,
segregation, industrial discrimination,
etc., abound. here the Communists
can find new field for action"
What whirlpool Of inconsistency
Will "Comrade" Jackson kindly tell us
how, If the abolition Of such nefarious
practices are dependent upon Govern
ment, law, order, legislation, and Con
stitutiona1 respect, the much desired
transformation can be accomplished
by any Communistic principle or ac-
ton. What must form the basis Of
any great social reformation, public
opinion or public revolution2 And if
"Comrade" Jackson would answer
that the latter is the panacea for the
grevious Ellis" over which the REDS, !"
directed from Moscow, are frothing
at the mouth, may we ask how they
expect ever to foment such disordered
motivations among the peaceful people
Of prosperous America.

|DECOMPOSED BODY
THAT OF C.. NELSON
REMAINS DETERMINED THAT
MAN DISAPPEARED YEARS
AGO

On the last trip Of the Starr from
the Westward, a letter from H. N. Ev-
ans, to U. G. Commissioner Stowe at
Kodiak stated that the body of a man
had been found by natives on the
shore Of Lake Becharoff, about ten
miles from Kanatak.
Evans stated he had sent Frank
Stevens and E. Deigh over to inves-
tigate and upon their return they re-
ported finding the body where the ma
tives had stated they discovered it.
Stevens and Deigh said the body was
so decomposed and mutilated that all
they could determine was that it was
the remains of white man.
It is generally believed to be the
corpse of Charles Nelson, who dis
appeared three years ago. Nelson
was last seen crossing the lake which
was covered with scum ice. A few
days afterwards his boat was found
upside down, frozen in the ice.
Evans asked for instructions as to
the disposition of the remains. After
being informed, Judge Richie wired
the Commissioner to cause the body
to be buried with as little expea5e as
possible.

If memory right there little matter
of 100000 mingled in Governor Pinchots election to his

The Constitution of the United States restricts the
powers of the Senate with respect to the election of its
members to the questions Of residence in the United
States the State from which Senator elected the age
limit of the candidate and time and manner of holding
elections according to Constitutional authorities. The
matter of determining the in which Senator of
sovereign State received his election, if alleged unlaw
full would appear to rest with the State and not with the
Senate Therefore, if Governor Pnchot has evidence to
sustain his charges against Ware it would only
enable that he should present it in Pensy vania where
the matter could be decided by jury of Wares peers and
not thru overriding the Constitution of the United
States
But the most ronical feature of the situation is the
