ANTI-LYNCHINC BILL ATTITUDE
 OF JUDGE BLACK
Position of Associate Jus tice Partially Answer
 ed by Grover
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Nov 16-Often the question is asked what will Jus tice Black do when and if an anti lynching bill is tested before the Su- preme Court, as seems likely it will be.
 Justice Black shed much light upon that when we interviewed him briefly before the resignation of Justice Van Devanter At that time Black was not a candidate for the Supreme Court.
 This prelude is given so it may be understood that in replying to questions about his position then on the anti-lynching bill, Black could not be accused of trimming his viewpoint solely to give an inn pression of judicial mindedness on the issue.
 In 1885 the anti-lynching bill ad- vanced by Senators Costigan of Colorado and Wagner of New York was debated in the SenAte At that time Black joined with his South ern colleagues in filibuster that held up the Senate long enough to convince the leadership that the bill could not get through, even though it was conceded at the time that enough votes were available to pass it.
 BELIEVED IT POSSIBLE
 The election of 1886, however, brought out enough campaign pled- ges for an anti-lynching bill appar- ently to assure reconsideration Of the issue by the Senate. The House already had passed anti-lynchlng legislation.
 Since Black was the leader of the previous filibuster, we asked him last session if he again planned to filibuster the measure. He ducked the word filibuster, since any Sen ator declines to concede he would willfully hold up the Senate busi- ness by that strategy. However, he said that unless an acceptable bill was drafted, he would debate it fully"
 He then added that he believed it was possible to write an anti lynching bill which would be ac- ceptable to himself and some of his colleagues from the Southern states He did not presume to speak for all of them. He openly disliked such legislation. and repeatedly argued that the problem was solving itself

of three and two counts. Mrs.
Meckley defeated Mrs. l.. G..
Pray, of Manor, and Miss Dett-
weller eliminated her finals op'
ponent of the Maryland State
championship clash of last week,
Elizabeth Houghton, of Chevy
Chase.
Spectacular driving and putting
enabled the ultimate winners yes
terday to clinch their advance
ments into the championship
round today. But it is interest
ing to note that both either eased
up or tired a trifle in the late
stages of their matches after
holding more than comfortable
margins going on the fourteenth
greens.
Miss Dettweiler has been a
great runner-up performer, &C.
cording to her efforts in the past,
with the exception of last week,
in the Maryland State games.
In 1888 she was defeated in
the finals for the title in this

Miss Dettweiler had only been

opponent today. Mrs. Betty Meek

play at Congressional, and 2.
In the two big Southern tour
neys the past winter, Miss Dett-
weller lost on the Threshold of a

Should Miss Dettweiler defeat
Mrs. Meckley today she will be in
an excellent position to make q
clean sweep of the major Journeys
in this neck of the wood.

10 district ofnces in the principal
commercial centers of Germany, which
are associated with the various local
chambers OF commerce. Thus infor-
nation has a direct route from the
source to the interested German in
dustry.
IN CONTRAST to these highly in
tegrated organizations is the loose
character Of American promotional
activities. We have two govern
mental departments operating in the
foreign field, with imperfect relations
with each other. The State Depart
ment has its consula~ and diplomatic
service; the Commerce Department
its foreign service. Private industry
has separate agency, the National
Foreign Trade Council, not related to
either Of the above.
Only the State and Commerce De-
partments are directly concerned with
t.-e promotion OF trade, and their ef-
rectiveness has been seriously COM
promised by the absence of central
organiza ton.
BY a co-ordinated agreement OF
1888 the State Department was vest
ed with the obligation, previous
ly that Of the commerce foreign
service, Of providing the practical
agreement OF 1888 the State Depart
ment was vested with the obligation,
previously that OF the commerce for
eign service. of providing the practical
service needed by American business
men IN the answering OF inquiries as
to markets and commodities, and in
the preparation Of reports covering
these specific matters. Commerce
Department representatives were lin
tied to preparation Of purely economic
reports.
The State Commerce agreement
was modified last March to restore
to commerce agents the task Of pro-
viding the business service which was
formerly theirs, but no expansion Of
the personnel Of the foreign service
has yet been provided to ease the bur-
den from the existing limited stan
abroad. The growing volume Of cor
respondence with the "a foreign Offices
has testified to the eagerness of
American business to draw upon the
possibilities Of markets abroad.
But the functions of Commerce De-
partment representatives are by no
means limited to merely providing in
formation on the state Of markets
and possibilities Of increased expor-
tation. These men and women
are active large part Of their time
In their somewhat informal capaci-
ties easing the road for American
merchandise,
