deeply regretted to hear that the

Fresno had experienced hard times
and did not seem to be prepared for
the lean years which inevitably fol-

to me concerning the experiment

NY which our retired colonel plant
ed near Los Angeles and to which
he gave his own name.
During the last seven years Los
Angeles has been the fastest grow.
ing city in America. The Negro con-
tingent has fully kept pace with
the general growth. There are
now from forty to fifty thousand
colored people in this city. Their
occupaticnal status for the most
part Is the same as elsewhere on
the coast.
Los Angeles has four distinct so
cial non-white groups; the Mexican,
the Japanese. the Chinese and the
Negro. Each of these is distinct
from the other. and all from the
general white population. The Jap
anese and the Chinese. like the jew
and the Samaritan, have no dealings
with each other.
The Mexican has the political and
social status of the white man. blt
Is not able to avail himself of that
distinction. The law of California
forbids intermarriage between whites
and Mongolians as between whites
and blacks.

The issue OF separate schools has
been somewhat compromised. There
are twenty colored teachers in the

The Blodgett brothers came to
Los Angeles some twenty years
ago and began as brick layers. They

and fifty Negro brick layers in Los
Angeles who belong to the
unions and on the face OF things,
find work without discrimination.
All of which has been bought about
