Prophecy
The writer takes pardonable pride
in having scored five hits on ten
point prophecy III 1888, during the
first six months Of the year. We
hasten to explain, however that our
forecasts are not based on 'hunch-
es,0 bnt on an intimate acquaint--
ance with conditions and movements
in Negro life, which makes it fairly
safe to suggest which way currents
will 70 and what they will bring
forth
ltowe ser, we must admit that one
Of our forecasts was pure guess.
THE race will get new literary
sensation. Richard Wright came
along with his Uncle Toms Chit
dren,' as d bolt from the blue.
We think It i good omen, how
ever, that Negro life ii moving
swiftly enough 10 bring major
changes and accomplishment in 9
twelve month period, with sufficient
ce,laritg 10 warrant making pre-
! dictions. At least we are not stag
nant. That is something.

function last year, it set a goal
of 80 new ships annually for the
next ten years TO rejuVenate a
merchant marine made up largely
of slow, obsolete vessels. 1t was
successful this year in putting on
the ways or letting construction
contracts for so modern cargo and
passenger carriers.
Early in 1899, the commission in
tends to concentrate on west coast
shipping problems. Bids for the
proposed new liners, which will
operate from Pacific coast ports,
probably will be invited within the
next two months, according to a
commission spokesman.
In addition, there was a posi-
bility that the commission would
call for construction next year of
from one to three new passenger
and express freight liners of the
so-callcd ambassador type for
Use in the South American east
coast trade where American opera
tors face severe competition from
foreign carriers. These ships would
be built under the supervision of
the navy and be made convertible
into aircraft carriers in the event
of war.

Speaking on the press as a factor
in international relations, Prof
Chiffon r. Bush, Stanford uniVer-

Because it is the function Of
the press to report some specific
action that is taken or specific
action that is threatened, official
dom makes use of the press for
its own concealed purposes. Off

say something in an official state
ment which has no true basis in
policy but a firm basis in propa-
aanda. There has been SO much
of this official stageplay in recent
years, not only in Germany and
Italy, but in France and England,
