saw pretty much the same in
England, for the fact is that in these
European countries, with their COM
parative absence of colored women,
il is the white woman, just as in
Africa with the absence of white
women, the white men, if they are
to have female association, must seek
the black woman.
As | said, met some Negroes
who said that there was race preju-
dice and that they had difficulty in
getting work because of the alleged
jealousy of the Frenchmen. In view
of what | saw, ! was inclined TO dis
count this altogether until ] discov-
cred that those telling me so were
North Africans, or Sidis, as they
are called.
The North Africans are little liked
for several alleged causes, which /
am told are: That they are none
too clean; that they are as addicted
to the use of knives as the MISSISSIPPI
nj and Texas whites 20 the use of
the rope and the torch; and also the
fact that they are usually Moham-
mendans.
Say anything against North
African and you will get quite a
hearing from the average white
Frenchman. A British West Indian
merchant, rather light in complex
alteration with a conductor, and
how surprised he was to see the
crowd took sides against him, shout
ing "Sidi" at him. Had the crowd
known that he was not North Afri-
can, he said, its attitude would have
been different. In short, the differ
ence between the manner in which
the North African is regarded and
that in which the other Negroes are,
is due not TO difference of color
but of culture. The North African
is sometimes very light.
OF one thing ] am certain: II
Marseilles, as is, were in America,
there would be many racial clashes
but here all is tranquil. There is
not even an inter-racial society, OF
collector of data, except myself. In
similar places in America, where the
Negro is a newcomer, even the bet
ter type of Negro would be refused
service, as have been in Utah, Los
Angeles and Iowa. But here they
eat in the best places. | met Ear
Granstaff, New York globe-trotteI
and musician, of whom / shall say
more later, and he was living in one
of the best hotels on the Cannebiere
Granstaff is quite dark.
What is the cause of all this !
Why is there trouble in America and
none in France? In my next article
| shall tell what many French peo-
pie give as the reason, adding that
of my own.

that the French people sometimes
treated them better than their own

seemed to trouble about it. Both the
British West Indians and the Ameri-

they were given work which many
times they could not hold because
they did not know the language.
