COL0RED. CONTRIBUTION
TO AMERICA is TRACED
Development of South Held Linked
With Cheap Early
Labor.

The relation of the colored race to
the economic history OF the United
States was the subject of an address by
Prof. Charles M. Thomas, teacher Of
social science in Dunbar High School,
Thursday night at the Armstrong Night
High School. About 800 persons were
in attendance, and Harold Haynes,
principal of the school, presided.
Prof. Thomas traced the contribution
made by the colored race to the wealth
and economic power of the country. He
declared the Southwest would have
Jagged but for the presence of cheap
colored labor to raise the cotton, then
dominating the economic system. He
showed how that service afforded aid
to the present-day education of the
descendants of those workers through
the Slater fund, established by the de-
scendent of one who made cotton-spin-
ming machinery possible in America.
Prof. Thomas quoted census reports
TO show how the colored race is drifting
from agricultural labor and domestic
service into industry as semi-skilled OPP
eratives and into trade and the profess
sional groups. All this, he asserted, was
in harmony with the demands OF the
time, and as result Of investing Their
time in traininA

EXPANSION OF TRADE
WITH GERMANY SEEN
Rising Wave of Prosperity Elk
pected to Affect
Imports.
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN, November 1.-The rising
wave of German industrial prosperity
inevitably will bring with it jump in
German American business, in the
opinion of American Consul General
G. Bic Ravndal But he thinks the
American business man can take full
advantage of this opportunity only If
he increases his advertising and extends
his credit terms.
Increased industrial production in
Germany naturally will enhance the
country's power Of absorption of Amer
lean materials" he recently told the
American Chamber of Commerce in
Berlin.
American products which are yet I'M
known in Germany or which have only
been introduced on a restricted scale
will no doubt share in this expansion,
and American manufacturers already
established in Germany will realize
material increases of sales.
Advertising, however, which up till
now has been negligible, will have to
be developed considerably, and credit
terms to purchasers and dealers will
have to be liheraltzed." a

HIGH MONEY RATES

When the period of limited conn.,
mitments, moderate inventory and
hand-to-mouth buying was inaugu-
rated some years ago many folk in
the business world-especially in
manufacturing-looked upon it with
suspicion. But like many another
ogre. the thing turned out to be
nothing serious. Today, in fact. it is
being regarded by capable observ-
ers as an advantage. 1t enables bust
ness to accommodate itself to
changing conditions more readily
and prevents losses, according to
New York bankers who are quoted In
the journals.
The new hugaboo seems TO be
high rates for money. Words from
Benjamin NJ. Anderson, Jr.. OF the
Chase National Bank. come to hand
and they neatly dispense with this
new cloud on the horizon.
The widely prevalent theory that
low money rates make good business
and high money rates make bad
business through their influence
upon borrowings of merchants and
manufacturers in the course of
trade, is wrong, he declares. To agree
with him one needs only to glimpse
the record Of declining business in
1927, when money rates we're low,
