CLERGYMEN INVITE
REV. DR.. JOHNSON
Howard U. President to Talk
at Church Convention in
Denver September %.

Rev. DR.. Mordecai w. johnson, preSi-
dent of Howard University, has been
invited to address the General Con-
vention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church at Denver on September %.
DR.. Johnson's subject will be Inter
Racial Relations"
One of the most eminent colored ora
tors in the United States, DR.. john
son was born at Paris, Tenn, January
IL, 1890, the son of the Rev. Wyatt
and Carolyn Freeman johnson. He
was educated at the Academy Of Roger
Williams University, Nashville; the Howe
Institute, Memphis, and Morehouse Gel
lege. Atlanta. He has degrees from
Rochester Theological Seminary, Har-
ward, Howard and Cannon Theological
Seminary.
Active for Racial Accord.
From 1911 to 1913 he was a men,
Der of the faculty of Morehouse Col
lege, and from. 1917 to 1925 was pastor
of the First Baptist Church, Charles
ton, w. Va. During the World War
he served as a student secretary of the
Y. M. G. A. He was elected to his
present office in 1926.
Rev. DR.. johnson long has been ac-
tive In the national movement toward
greater friendship and cooperation be-
tween the white and Negro races, and
has lectured throughout the country
on this and kindred social themes.
Bill Held Significant.
His tenure at Howard has not been
altogether peaceful, and in April last
an effort to bring about his removal
from the presidency was undertaken by
Nf Va f0
on the ground that DR.. johnson was
dictatorial in his methods. This effort
failed when SO Of the LOT members of
the faculty rendered him a vote of
confidence.
The present invitation is considered
to have particular significance in view
of the fact that the Episcopal Church
hitherto has pursued conservative
policy with regard to racial problems.

Unearned Air Subsidies

Postmaster General Brown has read the riot act
to the air mail operators assembled in Washington
for rate-revsion conference.
He told them they must practice greater economy
keep to schedules fly faster and not expect larger
appropriations from congress- There is truth in
what Brown says. Some operators have not done
their share to earn their government subsidies.
For twelve years mail subsidies have been the
backbone OF air transport That condition can not
continue forever BY the time present contracts ex-
pre in 1925 the postoffice expects mail to be only
incidental with passengers express and freight the
main sources of revenue
The postoffice, under the Watres bill, hoped to
lay the groundwork for this future setup by forcing
airmail operators to start work on passenger bust
ness Some of them, it is said, have not given their
sincere cooperation Rather they have been content
to sit back and take what the government gave them
Tor air mail. Some operators have not made money
carrying the mail. But others have made millions
1t is a question Of getting all they can now and
possibly collapsing when the governments generosity
gives out or by spending some Of their Profits now
for commercial basis on which to continue when
the subsidy ends.
If air transport in this country is ever to amount
to anything, the operators must choose the latter
course.
