The tuna run Is on! oVai "
Crescent Boat Company reporus

ao yellowtail. Correspondingly gooo
hauls were made by anglers OH
other sport fishing craft.
Jim Rowe, skipper of the sea
Angler" advised that at least an,
other score of tuna were hooKeo
and lost. due to the inexperlence
of the fishermen. All OF the strikes
were recorded off North Point near
the Mexican Coronados.
On Wednesday the Sea Angler
log showed 9 bluefin and II yellow
tail brought to gaff. No less than
30 bluefin were hooked but many
escaped due to large quantities OF
kelp. Many of the tuna are seal
ing from 80 pounds up.
Inspiring reports come from the
barge Point Loma,' anchored OH
the kelp beds near the entrance
to San Diego harbor. Last sun
DAYS score of 81 yellowtal, taken
on the barge. was better than any
of the boats recorded at the famed
Coronado Islands.
Captain Guy Perkins, skipper
of the Point Iona" reported
that the following tremendous TO-
tails were recorded by fishermen
for August 14-15: 35 yellowtail, 500
barracuda, 400 kelp bass and five
white sea bass. Similar good catch
es have been registered during the
balance of the week, with hum
dreds of game fish swarming ar

each on the same boat and lost
another huge bluefin when his
leader broke.
Beauford Morris embarked on the

returned home empty handed. His
companion Jugg Lambert report
ed that Morris spent the major
portion OF his time lying in the
bottom of the boat Morris defend
ed himself by atuibuting his NAL
ady to the fact that he had
witnessed one of his party place
placing his false teeth in his hip
pocket and that they bit him when
he sat down to fish.

their faith in the future. Last year
white business men spent 100000 for
advertising in the Negro press, while
Colored business men spent approx
mately $4,000 for advertising in their

Negro business men must culti-
vate this market if they are to reap
the full benefits that are found there.
They must lead the way by advertising
and by developing the art of spreading
constructive propaganda. They should
participate in all public affairs when
ever possible and they should sponsor
and create interest in those things that
will bring legitimate publicity to their
business.

A LETTER TO MY READERS
By Upton Sinclair

Ever since 1906, when "Ihe jun
gle" was published in seventeen Ian
guages, there have bein millions of
humble people who have counted me as
a friend. Today, when there are over
ten millions copies of my books in exis-
tence in more than forty languages |
am making an effort to reach these
MANY readers, in what | believe is a
praye crisis. To that end l ask the
help of the radio stations and OF edi-
tors of publications of liberal and de-
mocratic tendency, regardless of party
OF faction.
Being at work upon a play deal
ing with the French revolution, I have
been reading the documents of that
time, and in a thousand details am
struck by resemblances with events
now being reported. History is repeat
ing itself, and mankind has not learn
ed enough from the sufferings of a
whole continent over a century and a
hall.
The people of France attempted
in 1889 to break the chains of feuda-
ism, and the monarchies of Europe
went to war to put those chains back
upon their wrists. The result was the
ravaging of a continent by twenty-five
years of mass slaughter; the so called
Holy Alliance was riveted upon Eu-
rope, and the people of France were
forced to wage several wars, both for
eign and civil, before they won their
elementary political rights.
One continent was involved in that
struggle; but today we see the same
course of events upon three continents.
The people of Abyssinia' Spain, and
China, are fighting heroically for the
rights of self government; four auto
cracies gre banded together against
them, several more are lending secret
aid, and the whole world is involved
in a campaign of official lying. Condi-
tions today are in many ways more
sinister and deadly than those which
prevailed in revolutionary France. In
those days there were few newspapers,
and the war of ideas was carried on by
leaflets and pamphlets which were
easy to print; but today the giant press
is in the hands of special privilege, and
in the radio the ruling classes have

controlling the mass-mind. In 1889
military weapons were crude; the peo-
pie of Paris could forge themselves
fifty thousand pixies in thirty six hours
and with these overthrow a nine hun
dred year old despoism. But today a
people cannot get free without rifles
and machines guns and in the last few
years it has been demonstrated to the

THE INFERIOR
(by William Henry Huff for AMP

The one who's been unused to things
Is the one who gets excited
When freak of fortune quickly brings
A loaf to him benighted.
He hoists his head and ups his nose
To show he is superior;
This makes his friends his lasting
foes
Such person is inferior.
The things he gets IRE 'best of ALL"
To listen to his raving;
All other people, too, r small
This red rag he is waving,
But all this tells the wise old world
A new jackass is braying,
With all the quips that he has hurl'd
He's decayed or decaying.

world that they cannot stay free unless
they can manage to persuade the mas
ters munition factories to make them
bombing and persuit planes, giant can
non hauled by tractors-all the equip
ment OF mechanical m~ilitarism, cost
ing hundreds Of millions Of dollars.
The system of production for pri-
vate profit, dying of the poisons en-
gendered in its own body is today drag
ging to its doom the civilization which
it has helped to spread and devolp.
Five years ago I defined Fascism as
Capitalism plus murder" That was
the truth then. Glass privilege, terri
fled by the spread of revolt against
a suffering, created a new force for
its defense. But now we see a further
development; the new force turning
out to be stronger and more deadly
than its creator. Gangsterian has seiz-
ed the world, and the capitalists too
have a master.
At the outbreak of the World War
Prussian militarism was called by this
writer "the Beast with the brains of an
engineer" In the twenty four years
that have passed, that Beast has been
to school and perfected his technique.
He no longer permits opposition met
hods which have not been known in
Europe since the days Of Inquisition
and the st. Bartholomew Massacre.
He burns books upon a scale forgotten
Alexandria deprived us of most of the
since the destruction Of the Library of
intellectual treasures of ancient Greece
and Rome. He is not content with MAX
ing slaves of the workers; he takes
their children and twists their minds,
turning them into little demons strut
ting with toy guns. He has made anti
moralism and anti humanism into a re-
ligion land conducts on its behalf a
crusade upon the five continents of the
earth.
How can such things happen How
can this evil thing go on from triumph?
The answer is that privileged classes
would rather see civilization perish
than sacrifice their own power to ex-
plot. In every nation where the profit
system prevails the masters of NUM-
tions, of steel and oil and money, spe-
culators, in the means of human life,
gamblers in misery, death land des-
truction, are openly or secretly the
friends of Fascism Nazism; still cling
ing to the hope that they can master
it or buy it, and use it for the holding
down of the workers, the preventing
of a new birth of democracy in the
world, this time in industry as well as
in government.
The result is that patriotism is a
deception in u society; class has be-
come more than country, and in every
government the rulers are intriguing
with other governments to keep the
people down, betraying them, betray-
ing civilization itself. That is why in

The east coast of Florida is

Fishes of every kind and charac-

WHAT YOUNG PEOPLE THINK

What the young people of the United
States are thinking today is important in
formation to those who wish to under
stand the probable future plans of this
nation.
Recently, the American Council on
Education sponsored a survey Of 1888
young people in Maryland between the
ages of sixteen and twenty-fOur. It re-
ports that young people, especially those
who are most generally exposed to forces
which mould public opinion, are increas-
ingly impeled to look to their central gov
eminent for the solution of their prob
lens. Moreover, more than ninety per
cent held to the belief that relief is a valid
responsibility Of the Federal Government.
Undoubtedly the young people of the
United States today are faced with prob
lens which differ greatly from those that
their parents faced. They approach them
with new ideas largely based upon the ex-
perience of the last ten years.
They do not bow down before old in
stitutions in reverence, neither do they ac-
cept ancient theories without question.
They look for results and, strange as it
may seem, it is not always the profit motive
