News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

Yesterday the socalled nine-power
conference on the war between Japan
and China opened at Brussels. In
accordance with a decision by the
League of Nations, strongly endorsed
by the government of the United
States, the Belgians invited to the
meeting those powers who on Feb
ruary 6, 1922, signed the treaty which
was to guarantee the political indie
pendence and the territorial integrity
of China. There were nine, but since
then the treaty has been adhered to
also by five minor powers.
Among the original signers one is
absent, and that is Japan whose gov
eminent maintains that its undeclared
war against China is carried on in
self-defense, and that no impartial
opinion could be expected since the
League of Nations already-by de-
nouncing Japan's attitude-has shown
sympathy for China.
Pessimistic Outlook.
There is no reason to look for posi-
tive results from the Brussels con-
ference. In the first place, some OF
the powers taking part in it, are
themselves vulnerable, for have not
some of them done exactly what
Japan is doing to China today? Did
not, for instance, Italy violate treaties
by conquering Ethiopia What about
the record of Great Britain and France
in Africa and Asia? Some of the
great powers do not appear at the
Belgian capital with clean hands, and
that fact alone makes it improbable
that anything concrete will be &C
complished.
But then, too, there is the rather
firmly avowed decision on the part
of all the signers of the nine-power
treaty-that they are not prepared to
60 to war against Japen for the sake

in the things that will open up for
them with the passing of the sum-
mer and the beginning of the
classes for study in almost any
subject. This is a good time to be-
gin the study of your race group.
I'll wager there are many things
about your people you don't know.
Then you might learn how to do
your job better.
Many people lost a job during
the depression because someone
else could do it better and cheaper.
One of the surprising changes that
may come with the fall is that with
the partial return of prosperity
business is asking for a better
grade of workman; there are so
many idle ones to choose from.
AS we lay aside the more or less
carefree days of the spring and
summer and prepare for the more
energetic activities of the fall and
winter we may surely know that
for their complete enjoyment and
satisfaction we must be able to
make certain sacrifices of time, of
money perhaps, and of selfish in

ANTI-LYNCH BILL CRUX OF PROBLEM

Nothing that could happen would be of vital i'm
porance to Negroes than the passage of the anynch bill
scheduled for action at the coming January session of Con-
greSs.
IT, when passed by the Congress- it does not yield for
accused Negroes the expected protection it's proponents
white and black confidently expect will yet declare
unequivoca language the determination of the American
people to outlaw this and brutal custom of death
accused but not convicted of crime
Lynching has stood the greatest bar and threat
to progress and security of the Negro group
1t is this threat that has hindered ordered pro-
test and organized action against the disregard of the con
utona right of Negroes in the of the franchise
freely used in most southern states.
This fear of ynchng has been the foundation upon
which the south has built its Jim Crow laws and customs
Not only have the restrictions imposed upon southern
Negroes by these enenched customs worked to the der
repercussons have tended to influence adversely the
sive actions of our people everywhere.
Until Negroes vote in the south the powerful in
fuence that might be engendered politically is parayzed
Until he vote he will have effective voice in the
distribution of educational funds that today work unjust
ly against the forward march of his young people.
Until he vote he must continue to ride in Jim Crow
accept jim Crow treatment in the places where he
spends his money freely but without benefit.
Before he from the inertia inherent in his
southern there be real progress for him
there elsewhere.
At the very base of all these weakening surroundings
lies the haunting fear of sudden death he
to against their retardng and limiting effects.
1t is the hope of removing that fear through the
full fiat of the national that has inspired for
those who have worked earnestly and persisen

people experiences and information
as we'll as amusement which the
church has neglected or has not the
knowledge or the skill to impart.
A great deal of money, of labor
and of study have gone into our
community houses in st. Paul and
Minneapolis and this is a very OPP
perfume time for US to think seri-
ously of the work they have under
taken and the results they have at
tanned in terms of improved chill
dren, better citizenship in terms of
the men and women who visited
them, and of their usefulness to the
communities that support them.
Take the case of the children.
From the little ones who can do
little more for themselves than cry
when hungry, the nursery depart
ments of these houses care for
them so fully that it is doubt
full if the mothers of the in
fants could themselves equal it.
And this care frequently enables a
mother who works to go to her job
with a mind relieved from care
knowing her babies will be proper
ly looked after during her absence.
Surely for this our settlement
houses should have more of our
regard if not our cooperation. And
as these children grow larger and
capable of learning other things
they are taught the good manners
they should learn at home or at
church and ofttimes learn at neither
home nor church; they are taught
sportsmanship rather than sport;
taught not to lie or cheat, taught
to value victory that comes only
from honest effort; taught to ap-
preciate the things that invite cul-
ture and increase the joy of per-
sonal contacts. And for this we
should be grateful.

1--WE Remember the S. and A."
Summer is over. The corn has
turned brown and the goldenrod
has had its usual quota of sneezes.
Might just as well face it and get
busy shaking out the moth balls.
The Melancholy days, the saddest
of the year, will be among US and
what will the shut-ins do then?
We would not be quite so con-
cerned about the rs and A" if the
record of the last few weeks could
be kept as low as it now stands at
the closing of the summer season.
Of course we are depending on you
folks being very sane and sanitary
and whatever else it takes to re-
main healthy over the Labor Day
holiday.
Although our work is enjoyable,
we are glad to see so few confined
in hospitals. We had very few pa
tents to visit in Minneapolis Cen
eral last Tuesday. Archie Givens
and Oliver Phelps will no doubt be
released before our next visit.
Alexander Knoontz still has a
swing for his injured leg. He won't
be able to swing it for some time,
although it is doing nicely. Horace
Ray, propped up in bed surrounded
by friends, seemed happier than at
our last visit. Walter Dixon's
condition has improved somewhat.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Harpole and
new baby boy are all doing fine.
Mrs. Harpole was our only patient
in the 20 B" ward. Mrs. Jewel
Thaxon was our latest patient.
Over in the Annex, where we are
not allowed to visit, we inquired of
Annette Lawson. She is improving
satisfactorily.
Mr.. Bill Bailey seems better
after having some days of illness
at his home. Miss Thelma Stovall
has returned from the hospital
again and remains on our list of
ailing. Little Alma Foster con-
tinues her trips to the doctor for
treatments for the burn on her
back.
