tails. His consuming ambition Is to
become d bourgeois himself, and in
this he is a carbon copy of his
white fellow-American At the same
time he is more cut Off than the
white man from the pre-American
past, and therefore less responsive
to European nostrums. The white
'proletarian has a background Of
serfdom reaching back to Caesar,
Greece, and beyond. The black
prole;arian was il free man until
modern times And, finally, the to-
talitarian state is too reminiscent
Of theslave plantation.
Moreover most Negroes see in d
successful mob-revolution here the
final triumph Of their historic an
tagonists. the Poor Whites. Regard
less of Marxian theories and soap
box interpretations, the Aframeri-
can cannot regard the white prole-
tartan as his friend and comrade.
His advance since Emancipation has
been in the fact of the stubborn op-
position Of the whites with whom
communists urge him to unite. He
cannot quite believe that any revo-
luton will cause the crackers and
white proletarians up North to view
him with sudden affection. His
healthy eynicism inclines him to
doubt that on the day the hammer
andsickle flies from the White
House he will be accepted on terms
Of equality.
w h proletarian prejudice
against the Negro was originally as
strong in the North as in the South.
As early as the late sixties Negro
| workers vainly sought inclusion in
the white labor movement. The
Knights Of Labor fell partly because

has been the most effective agency

The failure of communist prop
aganda in the United States Is most
strikingly attested by its fruitless
missioning in Aframerica. super
ficiaily il would seem that to the
Negroes, who have the lowest econ
omic and social status III the Re
public, bolsheyism would have the
strongest appeal No other Ameri-
cans, not even the malarious South
ern crackers, appear to have less to
lose and more to gain from revolu
tioAars overturn. Most Negroes,
generations after Emancipation, en-
Joy today less economic, social and
political rights than the Russian
moujiks under Nicholas II. Still
subjected to systematized economic
spoliation and race discrimination,
there Is bitterness i'll their hearts.
Naturally the communists regard
Cd Negroes as sure-fire converts,
aud have proselyted them these
twenty years. They have tried
every bait, device, dodge, and argu-
mcnt to win black adherents. Hold
inc interracial dances, defending
Negroes afoulsof the law, bulldozing
landlords, inundating Negroes with
"literature, staging countless DEM
onstrations and marches, endorsing
Father Divine, nominating black no
| bodies for office, and courting Ne
| gro leaders.
But despite this prodigious aetly-
| itv the American Negro remains
cold to communism. With the COM
munist indictment Of traditional
] mistreatment Of black Americans by
white America, he agrees. But he
rejects the Muscovite cure. During

Practice Flight"
(NeW York Times)

(New York Times)
 The six-hour, twelve -hundred-mile routine prac- ce flight of 125 fully loaded British bombing planes Southwestern France, with Bordeaux as the out ward mark supplies striking evidence of the capabi- ties and menace of the bombing plane of today. The flight was made at cruising speed only. It could have been made at speed onethrd faster, for the Blen- helm bomber has attained 290 miles hour. The demonstration has given England satisfaction and France great qualification, while in Germany the of cia reaction is intense irritation For the people of Germany however, the flight may well have provided food for thought There will ensue, naturally specu ation as to what such flight might have signified if pointed at Germany and Italy. From London to Berlin the air distance is 583 miles; to Hamburg, 453 miles: to Bremen 396 miles; to Frankfort 398 miles; Munich 573 miles, while the air distance from Lon don to Turin is 570 miles: to Milan, 598 miles; to Genoa 648 miles: to Rome 900 miles The air dis tances from these cities to London are of course, identical and such distances mean little to the war planes of today
 Germany could, of course, easily stage demon stration similar to that of Britain and both Powers could put on shows far surpassing this Ger many has more than 2OOo heavy Heinkel bombers; and England about the size of Alabama, with popu- ation nearly 40000000 and 68 cities of more than 100000 of population would certainly provide lusc- ous target for the bombers of an enemy But whereas year ago Germany credited with supremacy the word some months ago lessened to superiority" " Today or in the future it may well be equal
 y"; or for Germany perhaps less than that for Eng land is coming very fast. Only war could answer the question bombing planes would bring ghastly ruin to both countries.
 This practice flight however, is illustrative Of the tremendous force of aroused Britain. Three years ago Britain had 30000 in fighting aircraft production: today five times that number Today she has more than 4000 arpanes at home Yesterday London gave fresh figures for her 1939 prepara ttions Navy S768O 00O."

SUNDAY, JULY 30, 1889

Adverse. planetary aspects rule to- day, according to astrology. It is a time for forgetting anxieties and seeking recreation out of doors. Mars appears in ominous aspect. Women are subject to exceedingly disturbing pla n etary influences which may cause great discourage ment. The churches should be havens for the distressed.
 Under this sway there may be a strong inclination to quarrel with fate and to indulge in despair. Sui cides are probable in cities where summer heat undermines courage.
 Workers partake of the mood of pessimism and may indulge in plots that interfere with important con- tracts. Labor difficulties may be es- pecially baffling for peacemakers.
 British shipping is to be unsatis- factory next month. The govern ment may meet severe problems in economics as well as in information al policies.
 Next month there is configura- tion indicated that is of evil por- tent to Belgium and Holland. Seri- ous internal crises as well as for eign menaces are prognosticated.
 Many important public careers will close before the autumn ends, it is prophesied. American states men, as well as foreign ministers, will pass.
 In the United States an editor for merly powerful will retire from ac- tive life. Changes in the manage ment of many newspapers are fore cast, but journalism will benefit. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of propitious events that assure improvement in business and financial conditions. Women will profit.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceedingly energetic and ambitious. These subjects Of Leo are often inclined to concen- trate upon selfish interests, but they make many friends.
