Kelly MILLER SAYS:
Grabbing for the West Indies

States seize the British and
French holdings IN the West
Indies, by force if necessary, in
paymet of their World War debts
Congressman Hevenner Of Cal
introduced a bill in Congress for
the acquisition of these islands
in exchange for the ten billion
dollar obligatios which is still
on the books against these ma
tons. According to the Gallup
Poll, tn majority of the Ameri-
can people would favor this ex-
change. -. 49,,
The construction and owner
ship of the Panama canal made
inevitable our ultimate control
of the Caribbean islands for
protection in this transcontien-
tai waterway. The purchase of
the Virgin Islands from Den
mark, in 1917, for twenty-five
million dollars, was only the
initial step in the process. The
economic and trade value of the
islands to the United States is
but secondary to their military
Importance. These islands cover
an area and contain a popula-
ton of about the size of M -iry-
land. The population is divided
into several classes, whites,
colored, blacks, East Indians,
Chinese and other nondescript
mixtures. Three-fourths of the
inhabitants are Negroes or of
Negro extraction. The whites
constitute less than one per
cent. These people are accustom-
e dto imperialistic government.
The sudden shift to democratic
control would doubtless pro-
duce a serious, shock in the
millions of Negroes into the
American body polite on foot
ing of equality suggests the
difficulty of including peoples
of diverse racial stock in our
democratic scheme of govern
ment. The additions of the West
Indian racial conglomerate
would but accentuate the diff
culthy.
The acquisition of non-con-
tiguous territory and non-homo-
geneous population not only in
vites a grave sociological prob
lem but also invoices the funda-
mental issue of changing the
structure and character of our
government from a democratic
republic in which the govern
ment derives its just powers
from the consent of the govern
ed to an empire which exercises
arbitrary dominion over widely
scattered lands and people with
out their let or hinderance.
Abraham Lincoln's definition
of a democracy as a government
of the people, for the people and
by the people is utterly at vari-
ance with the imperialistic idea
Is the United States now falling
in the wax e of Great Britain
and France which boast of then
democracies in Europe b u
which are frankly acknowledged
empires in Africa and Asia
The World War for democracy
not only resulted in the grea
totalitarian states Of Russia
Germany and Italy, but widene,
and extended the imperialisti
hold Of Great Britain an
France over their off colo
colonies. These so-caHed liberty
loving nations are democratic TO
white peple only, but are frank
ly autocratic n d imperialisti
as concerns their yellow, blac
and brown subjects. Are W
headed in the same direction?

Chris Radmilovich was back in court again today on the same old charge, but he didn't go back to jail Jail would have been all right with him, he admitted, for he had emerg- ed only May 2 after gaining 23 pounds in weight while serving a term of seven months and IT days for trespassing.
 Instead of being sent back to fat ten up, when hailed into U. s. Com missioner Felix Gray's court today, Chris closed a business deal. He leased for one year the property on which he was trespassing, agreeing to pay the owner, Trevor Davis, dollar. Davis agreed to take pay ment in potatoes, which Chris has planted on the land at Lemon Creek, which he was trespassing on yes terday but which he occupies today under lease.
 The charge was dismissed.
 Asked by Deputy Marshal Walter Hellan where he had been keeping himself the seven times a deputy drove out to Lemon Creek in at tempting to serve the warrant, Chris said he had been around the corner"
 Chris spent the winter in jail for trespassing on the Waynor tract.

COLISEUM FILM IS SHOWING TONIGHT
 FOR LAST TIMES

Five new songs, each of them re- garded as a sure-fire hit. are intro duced in Garden of the Moon," the new Warner Bros. musical which ends tonight at the Coliseum The atre with John Payne as it's featured vocalist. Payne, the handsome, dark haired youth with a caressing voice who stepped into the role originally intended for Dick Powell, shares the acting honors with Pat O'Brien and Margaret Lindsay.
 Probably destined for biggest suc- cess is lifting melody sung by Payne which is entitled "Confiden- tially." His other solo numbers, also infectious tunes with toetickling rhythms, are Love is Where You Find It" and Garden of the Moon. ["
 The two other songs are of the novelty classification and are so cleverly presented that for many people they will undoubtedly be the most enjoyable features of the pro- duction. They are entitled The Girl Friend of the Whirling Der vish' and The Lady on the Two Cent Stamp"

out was to ship them no money or munitions.
 The neutrality act. embodying that idea, was enacted. It has been modified steadily as it became less satisfactory to the administration and to at least part of it's sup porters.
 Now Hull has asked Congress to switch back. End the arms em- bargo, says he. His words only half concealed his strengthened belief that the best way to stay out of European wars was to prevent them. And the best way to prevent them just now is to let it be known that our supplies of arms and will be open to more peaceful nations. American sup plies tanned Germany in the World War.
 And President Roosevelt has argued that in any event.

These projects will soon be permitted of accom- plishment, it is hoped by the city dads.
 An offer of timbers from the Novel; property just for bringing them in, was made by the city's attorney Frank Foster and may ex- pedite some of the street work, par ticularly on Lower Front Street, where rock is now being hauled to fill in and improve the road to that section.
 Application for a retail liquor li- cense from Joe Riedi was presented and favorably acted upon by the Council.
 Remainder of the evenings busi- ness consisted of reports on streets. sewers, wharf and hydrant repairs. Clerk Tuckett reported water col lections good now and new order was made effective that his office hours now be from 10 to 12 every day, in addition to the to 5 O. clock afternoon hour on the day just after pay days.
