Has capitalism still the vitality
necessary to throw up new industries
for the workers displaced by the ma
chine process? Or will the solution
be found, as in all senile systems, in
widespread public works at low wages
or in doles?
"The unemployment figures issued
by the American Federation of La
bor," says the Wall Street Journal,
really mark an advance in mechanic
al power which will work to the ulti-
mate benefit of the entire population.
Power is one of the first essentials of
industry. Producers will and must
use whatever power is cheapest,
whether man or mechanical.
Progress of industry and employ
ment of labor at good wages are de-
pendent upon mechanical power. This
has put some men out of EMPLOYMENT.
temporarily at least. But it does not
mean permanent unemployment. 1t
means progress, for ultimately new
industries will take up the slack"
To this the owner of the journal.
G. w. Barron, adds his word: "Pro-
gress is not by keeping the same in
dustries running at or near capacity.
PROGRESS is by the. destruction of some
industries and the creation of new
ones. The buggy and wagon business
has gone as progress has brought in
the motor car. We substitute silks
for cotton, steel and cement for tim
Der and boards, moving pictures for
books, kilograms for letters, and in
all these is the progress of man.
Invention and machinery simply
shift employment, and new arts and
industries are needful for reemploy-
ment and for the progress of man
we should always remember that la
Dor consumes more than 900 of what
labor produces. The problem is there
lore the reorganization of labor 50
That 1t may produce to satisfy. its own
and our ever-increasing wants"
1t all hinges on whether capitalist
progress can go on forever. If not
the reorganization of labor so that il
may produce to satisfy its own ever
increasing wants, will eventually
mean something more drastic than
waiting for new industries to develop
1t will mean a reorganization of the
wage system.

Tsingtau furnishes an interesting IL
lustration of the place of foreigners
in China. 1t was held by Germany
from 1898 to 1915 and by Japan from
1915 to 1922. 1t was therefore SUD-
ject to the full influence OF foreign
control for a quarter of century. In
1925 there were in Tsingtau 204, 100
Chinese and 1879 foreigners; 8,l64
Japanese; 256 Russians, 173 Germans,
103 Americans, 81 French, IL Kore-
ans, IL Dutch and 100 others from
various countries. The japanese pop
ulation of Tsingtau has decreased one
third since 1922 when they lost their
monopoly. There are only about 6OO
Europeans and Americans in this pop
ulation of more than a quarter of q
million.
Hongkong is a part of the British
Empire. 1t was stolen from China IL
1912 and has been held by Great Brit.
ain for more than 80 years. Among
its 623,224 inhabitants there are 61O,
368 Chinese, $3.50 Europeans and A.,
497 other foreigners.
These are coast cities-concession
or foreign possessions. In an inlant
province like Szechian, with it popula
ton of 100000 Chinese, the tota
number of foreigners, including ia
panese would not crowd single trail
in the New York subway.
China is still Chinese. In a few o
the coast cities the foreigners max
up less than 10 of the population
But in the interior of China foreigner
are almost as rare, in 1928, as Els
kimos in the United States or negroe
in Germany.

THE NEGRO AT KANSAS CITY
BY Kelly Miller

There were fifty Negro delegates
and ten alternates at the recent re-
publican convention. A goodly pro-
portion came from northern districts.
Their interests were mainly segre-
gated and racial. The dominant is
sues of prohibition and farm relief
did not arouse their emotions, nor stir
their enthusiasm. After the manner
of the southern plan, the Negro rep
resentatives were shut into them
selves by domiciliary segregation.
The great Methodist Episcopal con-
ference had met in the same city sew
eral weeks previous. The colored
contingency was similarly disposed
of. Neither politics nor religion runs
as deep as the color line. The Negro
is learning painfully the purpose of
the Nordic to set social separatrix
which shall operate as effectively as
the decimal point in arithmetic. The
basic question is, what power has he
to alter or affect that purpose? 1t
operates with baleful effectiveness
alike in education, religion, politics
and social procedure. All of our
bombardment does not seem to bulge
it.
The Negro delegates did not seem
to figure in any effective way in the
general procedure of the convention.
In the main, they were lined up on
the winning side long in advance.
The Afro-American has an instinct
for picking the winner and getting on
the band wagon. The Negro contin-
get held it's own racial caucus. 1t
constituted only five per cent of the
enrolment of the convention. The
chief concern of the colored political
leaders was to secure the insertion of
a plank insisting upon the enforce
ment of the 14th and 18th amend
ments. The colored troops fought
nobly5 but to no avail. They were
not even able to have these amend
ments braeketed with the 18th, whose
enforcement was especially stressed
as a party policy. But true to the
verbal traditions of the party, some
slight reference must needs be made
to the Negro and his claims. Cerebus
must haye his sop. The insertion of
the splinter of plank on lynchine

the joining fees and all the seventeen
colored pressers went into the union.
In some cases wages increased from
$25 to $40 per week.
Losses Sustained
A force of 600 men brought from
the south to Worcester, Mass, suf-
fered curtailment when labor troub-
les arose. Our correspondent reports
as follows: "There is a project to
build huge reservoir along the Ware
river; this water supply will be part
of the metropolitan water system to
be connected with the West Boylston
reservoir by a tunnel. A Philadelphia
contractor brought 500 Negroes from
Georgia, but about month ago a
Massachusetts contractor took over
the work. He was not favorable to
employing Negroes, and on complaint
that there had been trouble in the
community with the men, he has
taken on the white men who have
dppileu lOI WoIh, anu ict all equiv
alent number of Negroes go. AS
understand it, this letting off process
has covered period of month, and
there are still many Negroes en-
ployed." Although Tampa, Florida,
shows signs Of increased business ac-
tivities, Negroes are not getting their
old jobs back, according to the fol-
lowing, Negroes of Spanish descent
are often experienced cigar makers.
Some of them claim that after eight
months of unemployment factories
are opening but they are refused en-
ployment until white Spanish people,
Italians and other fairer people are
employed"

STATE FEDERATION OF
COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS
CLOSES GOOD SESSION

The 23rd annual convention of the
Nebraska State Federation of Col
ored Women's Clubs, which was in
session Tuesday and Wednesday at
Claire Chapel M. E. church, Twenty
second and Miami streets, came to a
close Wednesday evening, at which
time the newly elected officers were
installed and an address was given by
DIR. A. H. Higgs, pastor of the church.
The newly elected officers are Ada
Holmes, Lincoln, president; Gertrude
Shackleford, Omaha, vice-president
Rhieya Harold, Omaha, secretary;
and Daisy Gordon, Beatrice, treas
urer. The organization has a mem
bership of over 200 in about twenty
local clubs. 1t now owns a large
modern home in Lincoln, which 1t

colored university co-eds as soon as
sufficient funds are available.

was only a complimentary gesture.
1t serves to remind the race that the
G. o. P. has not altogether forgotten
the black ally who was formerly held
in such high regard and esteem. The
insertion will not be without indirect
benefit. 1t serves to keep afresh in
the mind of the Alf erican people the
enormity of the evil of lynching. l
do not believe that single Negro will
be deceived thereby. 1t will GER
tainly not be stressed as a campaign
issue.
A colored delegate was assigned to
make one of the four or five minute
addresses seconding the namination
of Secretary Hoover. This he did
creditably. believe that this is the
only instance where a Negro func-
toned conspicuously in the proceed
ings. The race undoubtedly impress
ed less influence upon the Kansas
City convention than upon any like
session since enfranchisement. We
can hardly believe that in 1884, Hon.
John r. Lynch was chosen temporary
chairman. AS late as 1912, the late
Henry Lincoln Johnson held the fate
of the convention in the hollow of his
hand. 1t was the emphatic and un-
swerving attitude of this bold blacl!
| leader that determined the issue be-
tween Roosevelt and Taft, which put
the G. o. P. out of luck for the en-
suing eight years. What swift de-
scent from the political heights of
those days to the low level of today
| But there is darker semblance
yet. The Negro was all but elimin-
ated as a dominant force in any of
the states. Walter Cohen, the little
pelican war horse was dethroned in
favor of white leadership. He was
personally allowed to retain his seat
as delegate merely to save the reg
nant party from the odium of throw
ing out a leading colored man with
out courtesy or consideration. Ben
/ Davis lost the committeemanship in
Georgia. Perry Howard alone sur
wives, but even his temporary success
has no assurance of permanency. The
slightest shift in the exigencies of the
situation would have relegated hin
to the company of his forlorn de-
feated brethren. Throughout the

Ambassador Carlos G. Davila of Chile
In an address last night at the formal
opening of the Georgetown University
School, of Foreign Service challenged
claims that the supremacy of this coun-
try in Latin American trade was due
more to the weakness of Europe as a
consequence of the war rather than to
the economic potentially of the United
States i
The power of the United States in
Latin America is the result of great
economic cycle of natural development"
said Ambassador Davila, land the
question of whether 1t is the conse-
ouence of the war must be answered by
any candid observer emphatically in
the negative"
It is no accident, Senior Davila pointed
out. that nearly three-fourths of the
Sl3,000,O00,000 which America has in
vested abroad have been invested in
Latin America and Canada. or that the
transactions of 10 distinct Latin Ameri-
can bonds are now registered on the
Flew York Stock Exchange, where 10
years ago there were practically none.

with the Southern republics had ex-
banded to sl.S65 .000,000 in 1927. re-
gaming lIS normal line OF ueVelopment

Senior Davila added: Nothing is so
certain as that the affluence of the

day according to its own carefully or
gained plans
