Protests Exclusion Of Negroes
From Service Schools.
To tho rdjtor ~ Tho Stor.

10 the EdltOr OF Tne star.
Recent editions of several leading
newspapers have voiced favorable COM
ment over the fact that the admins
tration has finally succeeded in obtain
ing the consent of Congress to permit
some 40 or more young men from the
South American republics to enter West
Point and Annapolis before the end of
the year."
In view Of the fact that one is able
to account for all of the colored citizens
who ever graduated from West Point and
Annapolis on his fingers, and then have
several fingers to spare, we are forced
to wonder with deep concern where and
when we will fit into this scheme Of
things which masquerades under the
name of "democracy?"
We do not say that our national school
door should be shut to our Spanish
neighbors and brothers, but one must
ponder the scope of hospitality to "out-
siders" that is denied the home folk
We have no definite assurance that any
one of the South American republics will
not adopt Na1 or Fascist government
even by tomorrow. We do know that
the prices of their friendships are meas
ured in terms Of unfavorable trade bal
ances and their ability to secure billion
dollar loans with little or no security.
Whatever charges may be cited against
the Negro as race, his economic and
social contributions to the progress and
security of the richest country in the
world can never be disclaimed The
Negro stands today with his place as
secure in America as America is secure
In democratic civilization. The contri-
buttons OF the Negro enabled America to
develop far ahead of the schedule re-
quired for the point reached today in
such civil development. It is hardly fair
or democratic" as we see it, to exclude
us from our "just" desserts.
The fact that, in spite Of our sup
posed "inferiority" and under the most
adverse circumstances, q Jesse Owens
H. T. Burleigh, Joe Louis, Marion Ander-
son or Ralph Metcaf comes to the top,
tells us there must be at least so Negro
youths out of approximately 1900, 900
who do meet the strenuous requirements
of West Point and Annapolis.
I'm wondering now just what did the
teacher mean when she taught me, as
a lad Of Z years, to repeat after her
Il pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States and to the Republic for
which 1t stands, one Nation indivisible,
with liberty and justice to alp"
May repeat, with liberty and justice

BIumes Health Rules
For High Milk Costs
Menace to Poor Children
Seen in ridiculous"
Regulations
To the Edito. of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The account in your columns Of tho
capture Of bootleg" truck Of cream,
your editorial comment on the COM
mendable action of the Board of Health
in reducing greatly the bacteria count Of
milk sold in Washington, together with
today's account Of the action taken by the
Federal Trade Commission are very in
teresting reading to one who has fol-
lowed this situation for years.
The unnecessarily stringent and some-
times almost ridiculous regulations that
the Board Of Health has imposed upon
the dairymen supplying Washington have
created a highly artificial condition
whereby only very few dairymen with
expensive buildings and equipment are
able to keep within the regulations.
These dairymen naturally expand their
business, assured Of no competition from
the small producers by the acts Of the
Board Of Health.
Good, wholesome milk can be produced
and retailed in this vicinity at a profit
for less than II cents quart. In many
cities and towns in New England, where
1t costs more to produce milk than 1t
does here, milk is retailed for 10 cents q
quart.
When my dairyman in Falls Church
told me he was raising the price of his
raw milk to 16 cents per quart, he said
he didn't want to do so, but the laws
were such that he had to. He also said
he could make a satisfactory profit at
IA cents per quart. He did, however, say
that he had put in q new pasteurizer
that cost some $780, and that, of course,
was some reason for raising the price.
However, 1t was the raw milk that in
creased in price; the pasteurized milk
remained at IA cents per quart.
1t is stated that the producers receive
GIT cents per quart. This is the maxi
mum they receive, or rather they receive
this for a part only Of what they pro-
duce. The distributors, or dairy COM
panies, state quantity of milk they will
take at this price-always considerably
less quantity than the producer Is max
ing-and then take what they call a
surplus at about half that price. The
NAeAAA 40 AL lACCIAlS COlle
dition because he has perishable prod
uct that he must market Immediately.
The dairy companies further specify
that they will take the whole Of a pro-
ducer's milk or none. Several years ago
a local producer used to sell few
quarts Of his milk to families Of low in
comes for 10 cents per quart to those
who would come for it. The dairy COM
pany he was dealing with told him to
stop this practice. This producer was so
situated that he could not retail his milk
and so he had to stop local selling.
Doubtless some poor children suffered
from malnutrition because of this act.
We are wondering how many poor
children suffer from malnutrition be-
cause their parents cannot afford to pay
IA, Is and 16 cents per quart for milk
which should not cost more than 10
cents per quart This high price of milk
In Washington and vicinity is due entire
ly to an understanding between the
dairy companies, the large producers
and the Board Of Health.

Politics Seen in
Labor Peace Conference.

To the Editor Of The Star:
For the third time have come to
Washington. In 1916 it was to stay for
four years, in 1924 to remain for four
more, and now-at least such is the
notion am encouraging-it is for good
and all" There is glamour that is
Washington. There is, too, Washing
ton that is glamour. But there is, also,
q grace of personality and q beauty of
countenance and heart Of good will
that, memory aiding and abetting,
makes the lure Of the city irresistible.
It happens that I get back to Wash
ington at time when labor leaders are
conferring on some sort of practicable
peace. For many months have been
following long and sometimes arduous
itinerary that has privileged me in the
enjoyment of inquiring contact with
industry and its workers in ~ States
The willingness to live and let live, once
the appeal gets through to them, is
stronger among men who toll than par
tisan labor leadership seems ready to
admit. The average unionist does not

average employer is q reincarnation Of
the big, bad wolf.
AS for the man in the street, in a
thousand cities and towns, his offhand
judgment seems to be that the leader
ship of the c. I. o. is the bad boy who
should be duly rebuked, smartly spanked
and hurried on his way posthaste to
make apology where apology is due. He
marvels at the impartiality of the Presi-
dent in sending virtually identical in
vitations to get together to Mr.. Green
and Mr.. Lewis. Small wonder that he
sees politics in the conference now
under way as he thinks he sees the hand
of more or less unworthy expediency
pointing the path to peace. "Well,"
thinks the man in the street, "even If
the conference is hardly more than q
face-saving expedient (naming no
names, 1t may do good and it can't
do much harm. So, more power to It'll"

Says All Men Need
Some Religion.

10 the Editor Of The Star:
From the March issue Of your paper
quote A. Seeker: "Our forbears acted
wisely in not including God in our Con-
stitution. Who would want q medieval
God in that great document?"
Don't you, A. Seeker, realize that "that
great document" Is fragrant fruit from
the seed Of Christianity?
Our forbears reared their children as
Christians and our great Democracy, the
best example Of religious freedom" the

To Confiscation.
To the Editor Of The Star:
In his message Of January 4, 1899, the
President said that certain objectives
had been obtained 80 without con-
scription Of labor or confiscation Of
capital =" ="
He must have meant that the objec-
what was done "conf1scation" He OBJ
tanned the objectives by acts which he
described In words which were euphe-
misms for confiscation.

"Your speech didn't impress me as
