At the Friends World conference
which met at Swathmore college
last September the Interracial Com
mission recommended that a group
Of American and English Friends
visit Africa in the near future in
the interest of better race relations
particularly in the rapidly changing
African society.
President and Mrs. Jones were
chosen as delegates to represent the
American Friends Service Commit
tee, the European Friends Service
Council, the international Industrial
Relations Institute represented in
America by Miss Van Kleeck, and
the international Committee Of At
rican Affairs directed by DR.. Max
Yergan.
The detectives of the commission
are two fold: The members will
survey the conditions and actual
race situation existing in South At
rica today. They will also observe
the extent to which new cotton
growing areas with their low wage
scale constitute a serious competi-
tion to the Southern cotton situation
which may in turn react unfavorably
on tenancy and wage levels in the
American South.
President Jones' wide experience
IN both educational and interraciaI
fields can well prove helpful in
South Africa in wisely shaping fu--
ture racial policies. (ANP)

Conclusions were impossible.
IT is considered bad taste for
A any Government official to
be concerned about the stock
market, openly. Political Ell
Quette here holds that there is
something low about owning
stocks, and if they go down, it
Is a righteous penalty for any
one having enough money to buy
such luxuries.
But, it seemed to be signifi-
cant when the CLIO mogul John
Lewis strolled into the foremost
brokerage house in town one
toboganning day and surveyed
the Sagging lists.
Some facetious speculation
was heard as to whether he
had any General Motors, but it
was evident also that declining
stocks meant declining earnings
which in turn meant declining
Jobs, declining wages, declining
dues for CLIO. Truth is no one
Is more deeply interested in the
stock market gauge of future
business prospects than Mr..
Lewis. Spectators can gen.
orally afford to suffer but
Lewis and his men cannot.
QUT there is an even bigger
- consideration than Mr.. Lewis
within this situation. Weak
prospects for earnings may not
disturb officials, but the political
prospect of the coming election
certainly does. All Washington
shakes at the idea of administra.
ton congressman going into
primaries and fall elections with
the existing unemployment and
business situation.
For these reasons you may
reasonably expect that the Wash
tngton-made news from now on
will lean more heavily upon the
constructive side. There may be
less "feudalism" spoken of, more
talk about the Harrison tax cor
rectionS.
THE rumor that the new col
l. lege professor, Thurman
Arnold, has taken over the
Justice Department (including
j. Edgar Hoover and the law
books has deeply worried one
perSon-Mr. Arnold.
The new Assistant Attorney
General went into executive ses-
sion with himself and wrote a
The Washington times., 1938-04-01

private note to Attorney Gen.
eral Cummings. He said he
hoped Mr.. Cummings, GONZALES
cling in Florida, did not believe
he (ArnoldD had anything to do
with the circulation of such re.
ports. The professor said he
had known Cummings for IS
years, etc., etc. Cummings wrote
back and told him to forget it,
which seems to reestabliSh tran
guilty in justice.
Incidentally, Arnold does not
want anyone to know it, but he
is rewriting the antitrust laws.
The secret is being kept on the
suppoSition that if Congress
finds out q college professor did
it, the coming amendments
would have no chance.
TNHE White House may have
L quieted down on political
gestures in connection with COM
ing primaries, but interest on
the inside has been sharp and
hot.
For instance, a Democratic
Senator from the Midwest has
tened down to see the Chief
Executive recently, complaining
his opponent in the primary
was claiming Mr.. Roosevelt'S
personal support. The Senator
wanted to know where he stood,
and whether the President would
not repudiate such claims which
were injuring the Senator's
chances.
The President told him, saying
frankly that those on high had
surveyed the political situation
in his State and considered that
the Senator could win the pri-
mary but probably not the cleo
ton. His opponent, they thought,
could win both. Therefore, they
were backing his opponent.
DEST laugh of the month will
- not be published this
month, at least not officially.
Only the insiders can litter
about it because it involves the
off-hours recreation of sedate
executive official.
He decided to take some air
the past weekend, and went
motoring unofficially down in
the country in one of the
Government cars labeled "for
official use only"
He ran unofficially but
effectively into a tree, left the
car there, returned to Washing
ton, and issued orders ito have
his bureau agents haul the
car in.
The agents, however, were not
informed who was involved in
the accident and made an in
vestigation, reporting skull
duggery.
Thereupon, an accident imme-
diately occurred to the offend
ing agent. His Superiors in
formed him his services in the
cause of the underprivileged
were no longer required. The
charge probably was ineffi-
cheney, which seemed to be
justified as the agent neglected
to find out who was driving
before making accusations.
