JEWS NOT THE ONLY ONES

Rabbi Stephen Wise, international
recognized Jewish leader. recently as
founded America when he declared
that the Jews were not a united peo-
pie as commonly believed. This utter
ance came in connection with a discus
sion Of plans by boycott German goods
in retaliation for brutalities suffered
by Jews at the hands Of Teutons in
the Rineland. Now comes the Virgin
Islanders who are lamenting aloud
over the agitation Of American Negro
politicians to secure the appointment
of black United States officials to adj
minister affairs on the islands once
owned by Denmark. In no uncertain
terms the Islanders demonstrate that
they have no love for ro-Americans
just because their skins happen to
be black also. The differences between
Afro-Americans and West Indians and
between sons Of Uncle Sam and ma
tive Africans and other brethren Of
color prove that Negroes are not unit
ed.
GOD forbid that this scheme fructi-
fy!" walls the st. Thomas Mail Notes
editorially." A few men Of color who
can maintain their dignity as men, and
not as paraders Of a particular shade,
would be welcomed in the midst of
Virgin Islanders, but from Negroes
coming down en- mass to fill positions
we say, good Lord deliver usl" The
editor states that Afro Americans
hope to fill positions in the Islands
turned into an experimental station
for Negro politicians.
Placing their long held equality Of
races standard above n claim of
racial alliance the Virgin Islanders
declare that they have always abhor-
red the racial prejudice that exists in
the United States and have in parti-
cular dreaded the dominance that
must follow classification with that
section Of the American people which
cannot well hold its own against I'M
just discrimination. Then the Island
ers end with the whites and in many
cases their superiority is the whites
and in many cases their superiority is
due to the centuries Of contact with a
superior culture"

Dear Sir:
AS to our conversation June goth

ploy two colored people-Franklin
WEIGH, who has been in our employ
since July 2, 1922, and who is indeed
a trusted employee, and another. Sam
Stafford, who has been in our en-
ploy since August A 1882.
August 1. 1882, a committee called
on US asking US to give further en-
pleyment to colored people. This we
did, and Immediately hired Mr.. Stat
ford. This man is also giving very
satisfactory service.
Just what our policy will be in the
future regarding the situation which
we discussed, / am not in a position
at the present time to say. However
rest assured, DR.. Lennox, that our
door is always open for further arb
itration and cooperation concerning
this matter. II at any time any
thing further should come UP. I will
greatly appreciate hearing from you
Thanking you very kindly for the

CAUGHT IN CHARITY RACKET

1t IS regrettable that several Of our group have
been caught in the charity racket. So few of us have
bank accounts, that when we apply for charity the case
is generally deserving, but we suppose when we are in an
atmosphere of deception from the highest to the lowest,
we become impregnated and follow the crowd, and our
conscience no longer guides us along the straight and mar
cialized business. 1t is almost as hard to qualify for
aims, as it is to pass a civil service examination. Of course
there are SO many %imposters receiving charity, that it is
hard for the deserving.

Several weeks ago, former Controller of Currency
Pole, admitted the same thing. The examination Of the
national banks by the United States government, in other
words, is a farce-a joke.
The highest officials Of the U. S. government knew
Bank were using the funds ofthe d~epositors for their pri-
vate speculations. Nevertheless, they did absolutely moth
ing for over nine months, while these open frauds and
swindles were going on under their very noses.
The examination also brought out that it is the
easiest thing in the world for a senator to stop inquiry
into the banks Of his home state.
And today's testimony revealed that the Federal
government, so energetic and Jealous in the prosecution
of workers, suddenly is afflicted with paralysis when the
plunderings and robberies Of big bankers is concerned.
The pirate bankers and the government-they are thick
as honey together-pals.

Of June 22nd.
After all we live in a small world
and there are some who are fair and
those who mean to be. although per
haps are not in a position to manifest
same at this time. We believe your
intentions are good, and the same
will be manifested in a matter of
time by your company.
We are hoping further employ

all businesses are practically at a
~standstill, and such conditions will
have to be nodded the same as blocks
of stone used in laying the founda-

hoping this naturalization is just as
firm and lasting, which will enable

clearer understanding will be had by
all concerned.
Thanking you again for whatever

manifested likewise.

OF his co-operative-checks up on its

Dear Sir:
Ever so often I am returning for
further consideration and informa-
ton in regards to some of your sup
porters. Since you stated you could
not promise this group as to the time
your concern would be able to supply

appreciate knowing at this time if
the two Colored men it was stated
you have employed are still retained.
1t seems difficult for your concern
TO consider this body relative to en-
ployment, but there is no difficulty
when they are regarded as custom

to continue with endless efforts to

The Churches increased their membership in 1882
by 929,252, and now have a total of more than fifty mil
