NEGRO LEADERS
TURN GUNS ON
JUDGE PARKER
Supreme Court Candidate
Is AssaiIed for Stand
! on CoIored Vote.

NJ scYipps-HoDord Newspaper Ailiancc
WASHINGTON, April 16.-Basis
for opposition to the confirmation
Of Judge John j. Parker for the
United States supreme court bench
is stated by the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People by a speech made by
Parker in 1920. In a letter to the
senate judiciary committee the as
ISOLATION says:
In 1920 Judge Parker was Re-
publican candidate for Governor of
North Carolina. In the course of
the controversy as to whether quail
fed Negro voters of North Carolina
should be asked to support the Re-
publican ticket, Judge Parker re-
pudiated any such intention on the
part of himself or party, and in so
doing hagrantly and openly fouted
the express provisions of the four
tenth and fifteenth amendments to
the Constitution.
Speech Is Quoted
This assertion is based upon the
following quotation as reported by
the Greensboro IN. c. Daily News
of April 10, 1920, in which this pa
per reported Judge Parker's speech
Of acceptance before the Republican
state convention of the gubernatoriaI
nomination. The Daily News quotes
Judge Parker as saying:
The Republican party in North
Carolina has accepted the amend
ment in the spirit in which it was
passed, and the Negro so has &C
cepted it. I have atteded every state
convention since 1903 and I never
have seen a Negro delegate in any
convention that 1 attended.
The Negro as a class does not
desire to enter politics. The Repub-
lican party OF North Carolina does
not desire him to do so. We recog-
nize the fact that he has not reached
that stage in his development when
he can share the burdens and re-
sponsibilities of government.
Hits Negro in Politics
Participation of the Negro in
politics is a source of evil and dam
ger to both races and is not desired
by the wise men in either race or
by the Republican party of North
Carolina"
The national Association for the
Advancement of Colored People sub
NIT that no man who holds such
opinions as these is qualified to sit
on the bench of the United States
supreme court, where, inevitably, is
sues affecting Negro Americans will
be brought for consideration and
where these issues will be deter
mined on the basis of the four
tenth and fifteenth amendments to
the federal Constitution.

TRACTOR PURCHASES
BY SOvlETS HEAVY
Russia Is Leading Market for
American Machinery, Says
U. S. Report.
nv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
A sidelight on the United States Gov
ernment's refusal to take hasty action
in prohibiting importations of Rus
sian produce appears today in Depart
ment of Commerce statement, which
discloses the Soviets as the leading
market for American tractors during
the first half of 1880.
Exports of this merchandise to Rus
sia reached the unprecedented total of
S21, ,7l5,867, not including parts, during
the six months, as compared with only
81, 100000 during the corresponding pc
riod of last year. Canada, which was
formerly the chief market for American
made tractors, fell far behind during
country amounting to $8,100, 900, a de-
crease of about one-third from the cor
responding period of 1929.
This Russian business which in
cluded also more than $3,000,000 worth
OF tractor spare parts, was divided be-
tween wheel tractors in the amount of
$16,500,000 and the tracklaying type
valued at $5,300,000. The trade was
particularly heavy during the first part
of the year with the completion of large
orders placed in 1929, shipments there
under starting in the latter months of
1929.
Reports from the trade are now cur
rent to the effect that additional large
contracts have been signed with lead
ing American tractor manufacturers by
the Russians for shipments which will
start the latter part OF this year and
carry over into 1881
Total exports for the six-month Pc
riod this year amounted to 35,790 trac-
tors with value of $40,537,65 With
the value of engines, parts and acces-
series added to the above the total is
swelled to $49,852, ,449 for the haf-year
period.

Steel Reviews.
The weekly steel reviews, while lit
tie confusing owing to different metnodS
of computing rates of production and
the Labor day holiday, were again
cheerful. Iron Age reported the fourth
consecutive weekly increase IN mgot
production, carrying the industry up to
So per cent of current capacity, against
So per cent early in August. Steel said
that while little improvement was noted
at Pittsburgh, Quickening at Cleveland,
Chicago and youngstown was notable.
The u. S. Steel Corporation reported
a drop of about 1000 tons in untitled
orders during August, the largest de-
cline for that month In seven years, but
Wall Street was inclined to believe the
corporation would not have increased
its rate of production without confident
expectation of better business in the
Fall. The figures were not interpreted
bearishly, the stock selling UP to 173& 1,
duplicating the nigh for the current
movement. Gulf States Steel passed its
dividend, as expected, but President
Coverdale reported turn for the better
in its business.
Particularly pleasing was the tabula-
ton of total freight car loadings for the
last week in August, showing a gain OF
43,955 cars over the previous week, a
gain considerably larger than is sea-
Sonal for the period, and lifting the
volume of freight movement from the
levels of 1922 to those OF 1924. Tne
Bureau of Railway Economics reported
that class / roads earned on the aver
age of 3.76 per cent on their investment

GETTING THE GUNS READY

Since January 18th, the five chief empires have
had representatives in London, where they are
polishing their guns in preparation for the next
world-slaughter. Incidentally, these five nations
have about four-fifths of all the fighting ships.
When they go to war, it means that the world is
at war, at least so far navies are concerned.
This London Conference met to consider navles.
At the outset it was to be conference for the re-
duction of navies. 1t therefore referred to
disarmament" conference
For several weeks, however, it has been getting
clearer that instead of reducing navies, the
ference would probably lead to more navy building
Italy, Japan and the United States are all camor-
ing for parity" for 40 Per cent ratios" or for
something else that spells navy building when it
is put into practise
Nearly 10 years ago-in 1914 conference was
held in Washington at which these same five
leading empires represented Like the Lon
don conference of 1880, the Washington confer
ence of 1921 was TO be disarmament" confer.
Within two years it closed, the British were
busy on the greatest naval base in the world

five cruisers of the latest type

tain, Japan and the United States sent delegates
France and Italy declined. The word "disarma,
ment was used when the conference was called.
Before it well under way, it was described as
an arms conference Before it adjourned, the
British and American delegates were in one an
others hair.
Year after year capitalist empires call dsarma-
ment meetings. They have good cause to do it, be-
cause the costs of modern ornaments are high
and the protest of the workers against militarsm
is persistent and aggressive Nations like France
and Japan cannot stand the pace Neither can
Great Britain for that matter 1t would "pay" to

Their military preparation. Among the great ma
tons only the Soviet Union has come out flat
footed for disarmament and the Soviet Union was
not invited to send delegates to the London Con-
ference.
Question: Why does every disarmament confer
ence called by the capitalist empires become an
arms parley before it is over?
Answer: Because every imperialist statesman
knows that the capitalist world is preparing for
war, and he dares not let his country lag behind
the procession.
So they are polishing the guns in London-pre-
paratory for the next world-slaughter

THE SEED LOAN FARCE

gentleman from Washington addressed large
number of farmers in the courthouse last Monday
on the seed loan question. The farmers were
anxious to know how they could secure the much
talked-of-loan to purchase seed with which to put
in their crops. The oracle from Washington talk
ed and by the time he got thru, the farmers were
not much the wiser except in the understanding
that they could get no loan
Since then we have learned from reliable auth
Ority that only one-half of Sheridan County has
qualified and a small part of Roosevelt. 1t ap-
pears that Daniels and Valley counties are more
fortunate.
According to our information the maximum any
farmer can secure is 5000 and if he is a tenant
farmer he cannot get single bit, which is piece
of junk that passes for currency in Latvia
The conditions that must be met to secure the
loan strict that it is doubtful if a dozen
farmers in Sheridan county can qualify Those
who listened to the Washington oracle in the
courthouse declare that nobody who actually needs
the loan secure it. Those who can qualify
for the loan do not need it.
If this is not the biggest piece of gudgeon bait
ever dangled before the farmers we are willing to
eat this issue of The Producers News.
