(l012 Years Old
Some sunny day l hope that I
Can from a man a ticket buy.
A ticket so that if l will,

A ticket so that if | can,
l may travel to Japan,
Sweden, Norway, Belgium, too,
And maybe sunny Spain go

And so I hope and hope and

That l shall live to see that day
When l shall get aboard that

To roam, but to come home again.

 Our group in Springfield elsewhere was created with certain fundamental attributes. Predomnantly ln England these attributes included freedom speech and liberty of action In the last quarter of century, however, the Negro of Springfield has given away his endowments, he has relegated his ln dependence and that of his children to author ity today these children compelled to face the world with of their rightful privileges than forefahers possessed Local Negro youth often condemned by parents and socaed leaders for it's failure to succeed condemnation is usually uttered to up shortcomings of the former and to make less prominent alarming the glory and gain of the latter.

CONNECTICUT GOVERNOR ERRS

The snub given by His Excellency the Governor of Connecticut to the interracal delegation attending with him jobs for Negro youth is deplor able. Said the Governor: In opinion, it is generally concluded that whites will not work side by side with Ne groes when they they are thrown together higher type white collar obs Besides being wrong factually the Governors alleged statement reprehensble morally for chief executive it is his duty not to cater to existing unAmercan practices but to set the tone for the citizens who have elected him to office to follow. /
 Discrimination against Negroes in white collar" jobs is longstanding custom which shames the memory of Washington Jefferson and Lincoln It results in the

LETTERS
 DRAMA CLUB PRAISED

To the Editor of the Chronicle:
 I was one of the fortunate few that attended the final program of the Coleridge Taylor Drama tic Associates last Sunday eve ming. I say fortunate because l witnessed as neat a bit of play acting as anyone could hope to see from amateur or professional. The little cast really 'Ewent to town" with the cleverly written dialogue, as adapted by Mrs. Eleanor Trent Wallace, from the well-liked Uncle Remus stories. James Henderson's skillful direc- tion was as conspicuous as his Peter Rabbit was satisfying.
 To single out the performance of any member of the cast would do an injustice to those not mentioned, so I'll end by saying you should have been there.

TRIBUTE TO MOTION

To the Editor of the Chronicle:
 The death of Robert Russa Moton, president-emeritus of Tus- kegee Institute, recalls the inter esting historical fact that he was Virginian of the old school, we'll hammered and dignifed, and was connecting link between the slave-owning aristocracy of the old South and the industrial demo- cracy of the new South.
 Educators and statesmen like Robert c. Ogden, John D. Rocke- fe1ler, Hollis B. Frissell, Andrew Carnegie, Julius Ro senwald d, Charles W. Eliot, George Foster Peabody, William J. Schieffelin and James H. billiard welcomed Dr. Moton to their round table discussions. When questions af- fecting the development of equit- able race relationships were weighed, these men eagerly sought Dr. Moton's intimate knowledge of the conditions, needs and as- pirations of the Negro race. The South respected, the North lis tened to and encouraged what he counseled and urged. We have two important results: 1) The new attitude in the South towards Ne gro education; and 9 the ready acquiescence by whites North and South in the practice of permit ting the Negro a place at round table conferences on Negro prob lens.
 In this hour of international convulsion, the whole country will sadly miss the wise counsel, in spring leadership, spirit of good will and patriotic example of Dr. Moton. His passing leaves us of whatever section, of whatever race, color or creed a fine heritage of racial tolerance and spiritual |and intellectual wealth.

The husband, being a physically strong man, willingly used all his strength to make up for her weak nesses. But the day came when he realized that his wife was quite capable of doing more than she professed to; therefore, he let her do things for herself. Watching her suffer, hearing her complain, he maintained power III not doing for her what she had been accustomed to, rather than becoming weak and helping her.
 God is like that husband. Yes, He could step in and stop thls war, but if He did, His act would be an expression, not of power but of weakness, for it would not achieve, but deny his purpose Gods purpose is to fashion a world of men, by the freedom of their own wills into Sonship to Himself and Brotherhood to one another.
 The Bible tells us God has made of one blood all nations for to dwell on the face of the earth, and so Gods will is that we live in a world of friendship and not antagonism.
 The war will end only when man adheres to the principles of Chris, tianity, the world kingdom o1 God in reality.

GOD AND THE WAR

To the Editor of the Chronicle:
 We are not upset about the present war. We are passing through a period of hysteria and fear. Faith in mankind is fast diminishing. Why? God has the power to create and to do things above all others, and if He is merciful, why does He not stop the war? Let us stop and think.
 What is Power? Power is the ability to achieve purpose. If you do not possess the ability to ac- complish what it is your purpose to achieve, even though you have a million horsepower of force, then you lack power.
 For example, here is man who has a wife who is not very strong, but who also has a sick complex

SCORES "NATIVE SON"
70 the Editor of the Chronicle:

To the Editor of the Chronicle:
 I can understand your paper carrying a paid advertisement boosting "Native Son"-it takes money to operate a paper.
 Your favorable comment on MT. Wright and his 'FNative Son. in your editorial of Saturday, June 8 is, however, in my opinion, very misleading.
 How can you justly set up Richard Wright as the foremost contemporary Negro author while J. A. Rogers still lives?
 I would not give the cover of one copy of Rogers "Superman to Man" for all the copies of Wright's "Native Son."
 The debased characteristics of Bigger Thomas, MT. Wright's principal character, are by no means characteristic or typical of the oppressed Negro; I can recall a long list of Negroes who, sub jected to the same environment as Bigger, made good-rose to prominence; and may I not point to Loeb and Leopold, who, born in luxury, with all possibilities at their beck and call, came to practically the same end as Big ger.
 No! MT. Wright is not the foremost contemporary author, nor is his book by any stretch of the imagination a favorable contribution to the solution of this great national problem

As Times Change
By J. CARLISLE

We will become better citizens as we strive to know more about government. There are 96 mem bers of the U. s. Senate and 435 in the House of Representatives The President is inaugurated on the 2Oth of January. Of course we all know that under the appor- tionment resulting from the 18th census in 1880, Massachusetts has 15 Congressmen in Washington. [ Congressman Treadway of Massa- chusetts has served 14 consecu- tive terms, while Tinkham has served 13 consecutive terms. Six states have only one congressman, while New York has 45, which Is the largest congressional repre- Sentation.
 As times change we may be surprised to learn that Senator i Walsh has been in the Senate for 1 20 years; that the original docu- ments of the U. s. Constitution [ and Declaration of Independence are in the Congressional Library in Washington.
 Here is how the Speaker of the
 House is elected: As each new Congress convenes, caususes are held by each party, at which l candidates for Speaker are chosen. When session opens an election is held on the floor, and of course the candidate of the majority party is elected. The defeated candidate | becomes the minority leader of the House.
 Many wonder if the U. s. owns the land in the Panama Canal Zone. We'll, it does not, although the Republic of Panama has granted the U. s. perpetual lease with all rights and power, and this country must have the | consent of Panama before it can transfer this authority.
 Do you know that American diplomatic establishments on for eign lands are considered to be ori American soil, and children born on this soil are American citizens Recent developments in the European War have made so much discussion about the Monroe Doc ! urine that many may be interested to know that this doctrine is the
 United States policy regarding foreign interference in the affairs of North and South America, and holds that any attempt on the part of foreign power to gain a foot hold in the western hemisphere by whatever means is an act hos tile to the U. S. The principles of this policy held by Presidents Washington and Jefferson were the foundation upon which the Monroe Doctrine was laid and a corollary of these principles was formulated into the Doctrine and set forth by Monroe in a message to Congress in 1923. It is a policy first of non-colonization by Euro pean Powers, the second part hold ing that any interposition by European power could not be viewed in any other light than a manifestation of any disposition to the U. S.-meaning clearly America for the Americans. If you enjoy this sort of chatter, let me know as times change, that I may continue such articles.
 In closing, let me say that as times change, rain water will not hamper or throw cold water on teas when presented in the "Aristo style"

THE REFRIGERATION CURE OF CANCER

Much is being written about the cure of deep-seated diseases by refrigeration. This publicity has aroused public interest mostly be- cause it is being used in the cure of cancer. The patient begs his doctor to try it in his case. The doctor regrets the limitations of the treatment and has the deli cate task of letting him down gently.
 We can appreciate the public's position, knowing the positiveness and assurance with which the en- thusiastic writer can fill his read CTS when dealing with a new form of treatment. By a flourish of the pen he can abolish an old, trouble some disease and conjure up a happy state of well being for him. A terrible let-down follows when the treatment later falls far below expectations.
 Refrigeration in the cure of can cer is in the experimental stage. The cases helped are not enough for reliable data. The treatment is delicate manuever even in the hands of those who know most about it. Very few hospitals have the equipment or the trained per sonnel to carry out it's details, and the ordinary doctors office has not the facilities.
 The refrigeration treatment is based on the well known principle of high temperatures being con- ducive to cell growth, both phy- sical and bacterial, while low tenn peratures discourage, and if low enough, actually stop it. The ex- periments now lead to the finding of the low temperature consistent with keping the patient alive and at the same time reducing cell growth to a minimum. This ideal low temperature is influenced by the physical resistance of the pa- tient, his vitality and the stability of his nervous system.
 When cold can be applied direct to the cancerous mass, reading of 40 to 50 degrees fahrenheit will definitely stop it's growth; pain is diminished or stopped for days and even months. Below this temperature, say 36 degrees or so, normal tissue cells begin to degenerate. Present knowledge of refrigeration treatment shows the body of the patient able to stand 85 to 90 degrees continuously for as long as eight days. Lower tenn peratures are extremely danger ous; 70 to 75 degrees can be main tained for several hours, but the time is too short for more than a possible relief of the cancer pains.
 This treatment is another case where the medicine will kill the disease and the patient too if one is not well acquainted with his methods. No temporary laps can be tolerated if the patient is to be kept alive. In fact, it is far from foolproof. Too specialized at present at present for use by the general practitioner. Too risky for the good of the average patient, and t oour way of thinking, to be left as last restor for the case which would most likely drop out of the picture anyway.
 We believe in the possibilities of the refrigeration treatment of cancer and anticipate reasonable future for it, but for the present we must stick to the tried and true measures of surgery, x-ray and radium.
