Between the white and colored
races In the United States, there
stands every type OF barrier and
obstacle separating the races, ma
tons and classes OF mankind.
Whatever antipathy exists be-
tween Americans, for example,
and Japanese; whatever rivalry
and strife signalizes tn class an
tagonisms OF. tn present era; what
ever suspicion intervenes between
any two armed states-all this
burden, intensified by the very
fact OF physical proximity, lies
heavily upon the vital historical
problem following from the racial
discord characterizing the Ameri-
can people.
Whoever and whatever can
bridge this social chasm will have
formed the key TO the larger, but
essentially similar problem OF the
modern world.
In this constant source OF irri-
tation, misunderstanding, discord
and hate, poisoning the freest and
most potent OF nations. lies the
fatal moral weakness and spiritual
blindness which prevents America
from fulfilling its world destiny.
Ii is no oratorical exaggeration

Southern States and the industrial
cities of the North, the worlds

Detroit is worried over the un-
rest within the automobile indus
try, due to the difference existing
between capital and labor. We can
now see that this brings clearly
before us the necessity of reaching
a decision, once and for all, on the
questions involved. We do not see
how any phase Of prosperity can
possibly come to our city, state
and nation, unless we pass the
stage OF uncertainty in the matter
OF strikes.
II has become evident that la
Dor cannot drift along as II has
with an attitude OF hostility upon
the part OF capital against the A.
r. l.. as well as hostility OF the
A. F. l.. against capital. Neither
can labor trust its course TO the
company unions.
There is a great need for some
thing entirely new, and that some
thing we are going TO get. The
need is SO great that opposition to
IL will be passed over. and IL will
be welcomed as means to an end.
Whatever we may think of our
freedom as American citizens to
run our business as we please, we
certainly ought TO sec that we can
not do so with the set up that is
In the mental attitude of the great
masses OF earth.
We shall possibly see as Senator
Wagner's bill provides, govern
ment control over all unicn labor.
Labor unions will be given codes
just as industry Is given them by
the government. The government
will take over all labor and will
increase its already partial con-
troll OF all industry. In this event.

house" will at least have an in
crease of opportunity such AS we
cannot get from the American
Federation of Labor.

ward us; and. for that matter.

ARE YOU THERE
By J. Edward Mccall
Reprinted by request)

Nailed to a cross, high on a hill,
The Son of God hangs mute and still,
And millions for whose sake he died,
Are likewise being crucified-
Are you there? Are you there?
The sons of Mammon, cruel and cold,
Care not for God or man but gold;
In greedy lust they rob and cheat,
And crush the world beneath their feet
Are you there? Are you there?
They sit like tyrants on their thrones;
They feast on meat and fed us bones;
They forge new economic chains,
And make us slaves to swell their gains
Are you there? Are you there?
They strip us of our bonds and stocks
And from ten thousand auction blocks,
They offer up our homes and farms,
And send us forth to beg for aims
Are you there? Are you there?
While Mammon hugs his money bags,
Twelve million jobless men in rags,
With hungry mouths and hearts that hate,
Are standing just outside their gates
Are you there? Are you there!
High on a hill the Cross still stands;
But Christ with nail-pierced feet and hands,
Has come down from the blood-stained tree,
To lead mankind to victory
Are you there? Are you there?

INDIANS CONSIDER

Referendum on Proposal Over

Rapid City, 8. D., March 6.-R-
Having heard varied commentator
and criticism Of his proposed new In

lier prepared Monday to send tribal
delegates back to their people in five
states with information gained in four
days Of study Of the controversial
Wheeler bill.
The consensus Of Indian spokesman
who alternately praised and scored

Sunday afternoon was that they could
not finally approve or disapprove Of
1t without q referendum on the re-
servations.
Agreeing with that procedure, Col
lier and his aides planned to end the
conference Monday otter seeking
probably only q general expression Of
opinion from the entire group on gen
eral principles Of the new policy
without asking for q decision on dis
puted points or putting the 10 del
egates on record individually. States
Of North and South Dakota, Mon

at which general discussion took place
brought out definite opposition t.
Golfers proposal for substitution Of
land purchase program for the old
allotment plan. establishment Of
chartered Indian communities, new
educational opportunities, and special

Harry White Man, Grow delegate
from Montana, started opposition By
charging the new land policy would
"take away from the Indians private
ownership and the spirit Of indepen-
dence."

Economist for Government Says
Old Program Was Con.
ductive to Waste

washington, Mardh 6.-(H1-The
Roosevelt administration Is expected
to inaugurate. in this first week Of
its second year, the actual purchas-
ing Of acres In its program Of land
utilization.
Men who have been studying the
problem since long before Roosevelt
became president now estimate that
between $4,000 900 and 10000. 900 acres
Of land Is definitely "sub-marginal."
For the good Of the individuals Nv-
ing on 1t and the nation as whole,
they feel this vast acreage should be
retired from production permanently.
l.. G. Gray, land economist Of the
department Of agriculture, likens the
indiscriminate giving Of lands by the
federal government In past years to
the spending Of Goal OIL John
n.y." AS for the result, he says:
I'VE find most Of our timber re-
sources swept away and our oil and
gasoline being squandered In an In
credible orgy Of waste: hundreds Of
ghost towns and villages; scores Of
millions Of acres Of good farm land
ruined by erosion: 25yO00.0 900 acres In
abandoned farms: some Of the ma
tions finest beauty spots and recrea-
tional resources subject to private ex-
ploitation; thousands Of farmers
waging q hopeless battle on unfriend-
~ soils or with inadequate acreage;
an overexpanded farm plant and mil
lions crowded In congested centers Of
population"
Such conditions cannot be allowed
to continue, the Roosevelt group has
decided.
From public works administration
funds they have been given $25 .000.-
600, and other funds will be forth
coming as needed.
The federal government, acting as
the coordinating agency with states,
cities, counties and township govern
naents, will buy up large tracts Of
land, move the people on it to other
areas, destroy roads, schools, and
drainage bitches now largely useless,
and build up an entirely new struc-
ture suited to the needs and welfare
Of the people.

against Gov. william LANCER. Of North
Dakota, colleague In the Nonparti-

to the department Of justice informa-
ton obtained by investigators Of the
public works administration which
charged the governor with assessing
federal relief and state highway de-
partment workers five per cent Of their
salaries for political fund.
Nye, who denounced on the floor Of
the senate the practice Of extracting
campaign funds from government en-
ployes, said he spoke only after Hop
kins and Secretary Ickes had de-
clared they would recommend grand
jury investigation.
Harry L. Hopkins, federal relief ad-
ministrator, took the first action
against LANCER when he removed him
from administration OF federal relief
funds in the state.
Nye's statement follows:
II understand am being placed In
the light Of having initiated the grand
jury action. The facts are spoke only
after Hopkins and Secretary Ickes had
declared they would recommend such
proceedings.
II felt then the interests Of our
