Negroes Better
Workers Than Aliens

To the Editor OF The Star:
The rapidly-Spreading labor strikes
which threaten to enVelop the entire
Nation bring home the realization Of
some Of the fundamental defects OF
American civilization. We permit
white laborers from Europe TO enter
the United States and subsequently TO
work IN the Nations commerce and
agriculture instead Of utilizing the
labor of the American Negro.
There are in the United States some
II 900, 900 Negroes. They are healthy
people and a casual perusal OF the
country's history win reveal their real
patriotic attachment TO American
ideals and democratic institutions.
These Negroes are not aliens; they are
American citizens. They have never
sought to undermine the foundations
Of American democracy nor do they
harbor communistic or anarchistic
ideals in their hearts.
May plead noble cause-namely,
that the great American people should
employ more Negroes in the Nations
factories; in fact, in every line OF
work which they are found capable
to perform, thus eliminating, as far as
possible, those white labOrers from the
slums and poor districts Of the over
crowded cities of anarchistic-f
ridden and fast-tottering Europe, who
are today threatening to throw the
country into chaos and anarchyS

Winsor MccaY.

1t will be with profound regret that
thousands will read of the death of
Winsor McCay. He was one OF the
greatest Of American newspaper art
lists. and his popularity. for more than
thirty years, was immense. AS the
creator Of The Rarebit Fiend" and
Little Memo" he won for himself q
following of millions, and his po-
litical cartoons were q daily delight
to almost as numerous a public.
A native Of rural Michigan. Nc
Cay did not have the advantage Of
special training for the work he was
TO do Perforce, he instructed him
self. and the fruits OF mis- genius for
that reason were tndiv.dualistic in
their negative as well as in their
positive values. He was a master Of
architectural form and his rich i'm
egination stood him in excellent stead
IN that special department Of his en-
deavor, but he lacked thorough knowl-
edge of the human frame and there
was a certain woodenneSs about his
attempt TO represent people. The net
effect he achieved was that Of careful.

Nerves.

Summer quite as truly as any other
season is a time when human nerves
get frayed and worn. Thousands of
people have struggled on for months
without showing signs of strain. Then,
with the heat of a cruel sun beating
down upon them and the air thick
with rain that somehow viii not fall,
they betray in an unguarded moment
the tension by which they are
afflicted. Something's snaps, they say,
and temperS blaze. unkind words are
spoken. tears are shed, q scene occurs.
The problem is psychological. Body
and brain will endure just so much
punishment If more than normal
pressure is exerted by surrounding
circumstance, it is natural for the
reaction to be at least as dynamic.
The difference is in the time element.
Environment presses in upon a man
or woman for years, and there is
nothing dramatic about it. But the
crisis comes and goes in a single fash,
passes in a second.
To illustrate: An average citizen
returns home from tedious eight or
ten hours of labor st his ONCE. He
wants quiet; he needs rest. But his
neighbor. the owner of the house next
door. does not realize his wearineSs
On the contrary, he does not think
OF him at all as he brings his lawn
mower out of the cellar and begins
to manicure the grass under the very
window best suited to admit the most
sound. An instant later that window
is closed with q crash which sends
broken glass flying. and the neighbor
is treated 20 a food Of profanity un-
precedented in his experience. There
after the neighbors do not speak. A
community feud Is launched, and the

Of the Haitian debt. In ordering the

within a few months" declares
the Louisville Courier Journal, "the
administration at Washington had
mended the damage done by preced-
ing administrations over a period Of
more than a quarter Of a century.
Dollar diplomacy was broken with for
ever: the assumed right of interven-
ton was renounced; the big stick In
the Caribbean was destroyed and q
new spirit of hve-and-let-Iive AMI
mated the course Of the Government.
This, however, was not impulsive ac-
ton on the part Of the administration.
Five years before he enunciated his
good neighbor policy, Franklin Roose-

Along with our new attitude to-
ward Cuba, it should bring to Latin
Americans the realization that we
have only the wish to play the role Of
a good neighbor," thinks the Pontiac

Thus we retreat from a tradition
that has marked the steady greatness
Of our course for generations. And
