CANNON REPLIES
TO BISHOP DENNY
Church Has Right to Support
President in Resolutions,
He Asserts.

The right and propriety Of church
bodies passing resolutions expressing
support to the President In efforts to
stemp out lawlessness was defended by
Bishop James Cannon, jr., chairman Of
the Board of Temperance Of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church South, in reply
ing yesterday to the position taken re-
Richmond.
Concerning the resolution pledging
hearty cooperation and support of the
Richmond District Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church to Presi-
dent Hoover in his efforts to secure law
observance and law enforcement" the
statement declared, Bishop Denny is
quoted as saying: I do not think it IS
within the sphere of the church to do
such things. fear that 1t means the
ultimate division of the Methodist
Church, for many will refuse to be
dragged as a church into politics
Says Majority Against Denny.
without questioning the sincerity of
Bishop Denny In the position which he
has taken, the overwhelming majority
of his Methodist brethren believe that
it is their right and their duty to as
sure the President of their support in
his efforts to stamp out the lawless-
ness which Is threatening the national
life"
Bishop Cannon cited the resolution
adopted by the conference at Rich
mond. despite Bishop Dennys protest,
as 1.-The best answer" The resolution
pledged the conference to hearty CO.
operation and support Of the President
In efforts to strengthen the sentiment
of law observance among our people
and to secure proper efficiency in the
administration of justice throughout
the land"

"surely It is unthinkable," Bishop
Cannon's statement continued, that
there should be any appreciable sup
port by patriotic. law-abiding citizens
of the position taken by Bishop Denny
that a division of the church will re-
suit from the passage Of resolutions by
church bodies declaring that as against
the lawless element of the Nation and
its supporters and apologists the church
will give its hearty, undivided support
to the President Of the United States
in his determination to secure law OBJ

IH71fi0n PaVS Tribute 10 Our Fallen Editor

The death of John Mitchell, Jr.,
last week cast a pail over the city,
and this shadow Of death has gradu-
ally spread throughout the United
States. Messages of coincidence from
all parts Of the country have poured
into The Planet Office, lamenting the
passing of a man whose life has
meant so much to his race and his
country. The keenness of the loss
is felt in many places, high and low,
because of the variety of contacts
the great editor made during his
nearly fifty years of public life, as
ditor, orator, school teacher, bank
er, fraternalist, business executive,
church layman and general humani-
tartan.
The Ministers Conference (Bap-
tist) of Richmond and vicinity pass
ed a resolution bemoaning the loss
of "the most outstanding Baptist
layman Of the State" and the Fifth
Street Baptist Church sent resolu-
tons commenting his work for his
local church. We begin the publ
cation this week Of these memorials
and will continue until all have been
placed on public record as a criterion
for the generations yet to struggle
through this mundane sphere.

Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, Dec. o.
The United States Marines who have
been illegally occupying Haiti fol-
years have declared martial law,
under the command of Colonel Rich
ard M. Cults, in order to break a
strike of the Haitian meployees OF
the customs office.
However, the strike threatens to
spread beyond the custom office,
where it began yesterday morning,
when the employees entered all of
fees with clubs to drive out any
laggards, throwing typewriters at
two Yankee bosses who tried to
break the strike, injuring the two
slightly.
Spreading the fight to the street
the strikers met an American marine
officer coming on the scene with
marines, and gave him beating with
rocks and bricks.
The United States marines are the
only supporters of an imposter who
calls himself president of Halt" !"
who was eelcted by nobody but the
rifles of the marines and who is a
busy bootlicker of American i'm
perialism and its agents great or

he is so cordially detested by all
Haitians that his presidency"
would end very suddenly were it not
for the presence of the marines. So
much has been stolen and looted
from the public treasury that the
customs employees are suffering in
their wages.
In addition the dictatorial school
system has caused a strike of 10000
students-all the way from kinder
garten to university students. All
attempts at compromise have failed,
and the school strike continues.
