most of the fourteen things for which
the platform is asking. l was also
particularly interested in the eight
things which the Guide asked for ma
tionally. | was most pleasingly sur
prised to learn that the Guide did not
swallow the sop which was a down
right insult given the Negroes by al
lowing them to go to Washington and
have their pictures taken with the
President, who appointed Parker, the
Negroes arch enemy, to the supreme
court bench, and did everything he
could to see that Parker was con-
firmed. | was also glad that the
editor had sense enough to know that
if Nj. Hoover appointed B. B. Mont
gomery as marshal of the northern
district Of Mississippi, and used all
sorts Of trickery and chicanery to
have him confirmed, latter he re-
ceived several thousand affidavits
from the most reputable white and
colored women of Miss, asking him
not to send Montgomery's name to
the judiciary committee, and if he
had done so, to withdraw it, as
Montgomery had said that there
were no chaste colored women), that
he is not deserving of the Negroes
support. Most Negro papers were a.
fraid to do this. Keep up the good
fight.
The Negro, unless he is an asinine
fool, wants all of the rights that any
other people want and you are for
tunate in having a Senator like Geo
rye w. Norris in the senate as we are
in having a Senator like Robert F.
Wagner. The Negro must learn to
vote for his friends and against his
enemies. Negroes should be Repub-
l~icans, Democrats, Socialists, Com
munists, and whatnots on general
principles, and not because the north
and south got to fighting over some
economic question, and as a result of
which he got his so called freedom.
The average Negro has never read
carefully the Emancipation PROCLAIM
alton. which was written on the 22nd
day Of Sept, 1862 and issued on the
1st day of January, 1868, which said
carefully, that "all places, such as
Norfolk, Va, Alexandria, Va, New
Orleans, La, and other places that
were not in rebellion on that day,
would still hold their slaves. Abra-
ham Lincoln ran in 1864 opposing the
18th amendment, and still Negroes
vote as if he were around the corner
marking their ballots for them. This
is almost a tragic comedy and would
he laughable were it not so pathetic.
Yours very truly,
L. F. COLES.

Dear Editor, c. c. Galloway
The current issue Of your paper has
been read with a great deal Of pleas
ure by me. / was deeply interested
in your editorial under the caption,
~Good Investment" and / hope that
every Negro will read it. | was also
interested in "Why the Negro should
divide his vote on National issues"
by Kelley Miller. This is what he
should have done all along.
The Negro is disfranchised in the
south for no other reason than he did
not have political ems like the Jew
the Irishman and other people. He
constantly voted against the people
with whom he had to live, SO they
took his rights away from him. | am
not arguing the right and wrong Of
this but I am accounting for why it
was done. The Negro has never had
any real political sense. He can be
counted upon to be an a%sinine fool in
politics and religion. In religion he
wants everything after death. In
politics he wants a cigar, a drink Of
bad liquor and the privilege Of run
ing a pool room or gambling den.
The jew and the Irishman are just
as religious as the Negro, but they
want something on earth, therefore
they vote for whoever is in power,
until that party refuses to give them
the things they desire, then they
vote against that party, and for an
other party.

your editorial Lest We Forget. |

your paner is beginning to teach the
Negro some political sense. The

and laying down the demand for
eleven distinct and definite things
was also good.

platform Of the Omaha Guide, "loc-
ally" and I am in agreement with

Race Relations
In Georgia

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 24:-The Negroes
of the South are making encouraging
gains in education, health, increase in
life span, provision of public benefits,
protection by the courts, and political
recognition, but probably losing in the
field Of employment and economic Sc
curity, according to a survey of recent
trends in race relations just issued for
general distribution by the Commits
sion on Interracial Cooperation, with
headquarters here. Among the ia
vorable trends observed, the improve
ment of educational facilities is noted
as the most important and encourag~
ing, indicating, according to the Com
mission, "a growing sense of respon-
sibility for Negro education and of
confidence in its value"
The inclusion of the needs of Ne
groes in community chest budgets and
their participation in chest campaigns
illustrate another important trend, ac-
cording to the Commission-the in
creasing recognition of Negroes as an
essential element in the community,
both as assets and as liabilities. The
same trend is indicated also in better
service to Negroes at the hands of of
fetal welfare agencies.
The health of Negroes, according to
the survey, has shown remarkable i'm
provement in recent years, with a
substantial decrease in the death rate
and a gain of five years in the average
life span. However, it is pointed out
that Negro mortality is still abnor-
mally high. Hospital facilities are
showing some improvement, but are
still sadly inadequate, particularly in
smaller towns.
The survey indicates that the Ne
gro's general standing in the courts is
steadily improving and his chance of
getting justice becoming "less spas
modic and uncertain" The fall in the
lynching record, from an average of
one hundred victims a year for the
forty-year period ending in 1921 to
the recent annual level of ten or
twelve, is pointed out as another great
gain and as indicating a determined
purpose to end mob violence. 1t is
stated, however, that there are still
sections in which the Negro has little
standing in the courts and little pro-
lection at the hands Of the law.
The principle of i~nterracial cooper
alton, according to the Commission, is
being widely and spontaneously adopt
ed in many forms Of community and
group activity. This method, first
demonstrated by the cooperative
agencies set up by the Commission. is
being accepted widely, it is said, as
the normal way Of dealing with situa-
lions involving the interest of both
races.
The most unfavorable trend pointed
out in the report is in the economic
field, where Negroes of late apparent
ly have been losing ground. This, ac-
cording to the Commission, appears
to be chiefly the result of general
economic conditions which have sharp
ened the competition for jobs. The
Negro, constituting the marginal in
dustrial group, has apparently been
the greater sufferer, with group COM
petition along racial lines added to
personal competition. In spite Of the
seriousness Of this situation for Ne
groes the Commission points out as
notable the fact that industrious com.
munist propaganda among them has
had so little apparent effect. This

NO PRICES CAN BE SECURED ON
 FISH MEAL, OIL
However, Five Plants Will Be Operated This Year,
 Says Arentsen

Although definite prices cannot be obtained for this seasons pro- duction of fish meal and oil, five of Southeast Alaska's herring re- duction plants are making plans to operate, it was announced here last night by Capt. F. ArentSen owner of plants at Big Port Walter and Saginaw, both of which will be operated.
 Buyers are reluctant to. name definite figures and will make no contracts at this time, but have assured the operators they will take the seasons output, Capt. Aren't sen said. It is certain that the final prices will be materially less than those of 1881, he said
 There is some demand for salt herring, but the quotations are well under last years and lower than for a great many years. However, Capt. Arentsen's plants will pack all of the herring that is taken of suitable size. We hope we can manage to break even on the sea- sons work, but there is no chance for any of us to make any profit on it." he declared.
 Skeleton crews were broug h t north on the steamer Queen for Saginaw and Big Port Walter. Thees will get the plants into shape for the seasons work.

Kudzu, Once Ornamental
 Plant, Now Good Forage

CLEMSON COLLEGE, s. C., May 30.-Kuzdo, used for many years as an ornamental plane to produce shade, has been found by the Clem- son College Extension Service to be useful as a pasture and hay plant.
 Kudzu, a perennial of the legume family, is particularly adaptable to the farms of the southeast, s. L. Jeffords, extension agronomist said.
 "As a forage plant" Jeffords ex- plained, "kudzu apparently is rel ished by all classes of livestock in both the green stage and the cured, or hay, stage. While it will grow on the poorest clay and sandy soils, it will produce the greatest amount of grazing and hay when planted on fertile soil. It has proved it. self drought-resistant as compared with other legumes."

expects to drop into the sea when he is well started on his Tokyo flight probably shortly after he leaves Vancouver Island, within three or four hours after his hop from Boeing Field.
 Pull on Ring Does Trick
 The entire massive gear, heavy struts, oleo hydraulic shock absorb CT units and jumbo wheels, may be detached and dropped from the ship in flight by the pulling of a single ring in the pilots compartment. The ring is attached to a system of fine woven wire cables that run through pulleys to pins at the bearing points of the landing gear. One jerk and the entire aSsemblage is catapulted into space. leaving the plane with only the bottom of it's light fuselage, apparently, to alight on.
 But here is the trick in the Lone Star. Arriving over the landing field near Tokyo, Browne will lean down and pull two other small rings outside either foot.
 The attached wires will rip oval hcles in the bottom fabric of the frselage. Through the holes the pilot then may crank two small inflated rubber wheels, forming miniature landing gear on which the plane, with tanks smpty, may be brought down in safety.
 Suppose just one pin sticks when you go to drop that landing gear suggested one Seattle pilot dubiously.
 "Oh, but it won't Browne as- sured him. That's had a lot of tests since it was assembled after my other landing gear was cracked up when I was forced down on the way to South America in Feb ruary. It'll work all right"
 Browne is proud of the name Lone Star, christened in honor of his native State, and confident of his ability to make Tokyo"
