Smith as the hero of a fire on
% Avenue. The name of the
boy who turned in the alarm
that brought firemen to the
scene of the fire is Carl Tay-

perty is James Smith, and
not Samuel Smith as stated in

T. John Wood
Digesting
The News

We believe that the average
man will wax a bit juiblant
when the trend of events
dove-tail with his written pre-
dictions, or when events of
international scope prove the
authenticity of his state
ments. So it is with us as we
recall statements made in this
column three weeks ago to the
effect that there is little or
no similarity in the demo-
cratic ideals of Great Britain
and America.
That there is a decided diff
ference in democracy as repre-
scented by the two great countries
is attested by the fact that the
Supreme Court of the Dominion
of Canada recently ruled that Ne
groes do not have equal rights with
white citizens. The fact that Ne
groes in Canada are subjects of
the King does not guarantee re-
spect for their rights, for the Sup
rene Court of the Dominion holds
that tavern keepers and other bust
ness men cannot be forced to serve
black subjects of the King.
We cite the case of Fred Chris
tie, of Montreal, who brought suit
against a tavern keeper who re-
fused to serve him (Christie) a
glass of beer because he is a Ne
gro. Christie was awarded $25
damages in the lower court, but
when the tavern keeper appealed
the judgement the Quebec Divi-
sion of the Kings bench reversed
the lower courts decision, with
only one judge dissenting. Christie
then appealed the case to the su-
preme Court of Canada, which al
so decided against him. Again,
only one judge dissented. That is
apparently the English version of
democracy.
The same newspaper which car
ried the account of the Christie
incident also headlined releases of
proposal by white students for
equal educational rights for the Ne
gro; a decision handed down by a
Missouri Court that Negroes must
be allowed to serve on juries. and
other accounts of the progressive
trend in inter-racial affairs in
America. This information should
be OF value to those who have here
tofore compared the democratic
ideals of the two great countries
md insisted that England holds a
slight edge over America.
AS we observe the progress in
race relations in America during
the past ten years, we can believe
that Americans are moving for
ward to a greater understanding
between races. AS for England,
we can only feel what we felt
when we heard Sir Anthony Eden
say while addressing a meeting in
New York. We quote the great
Englishman, England is the same
today as she always was, and will
forever remain as she is" This
statement is mute evidence of the
futility of the hope of England's
black subjects ever attaining equal
rights.
