OF Special Interest

For these reasons the Negro
citizens of America should have
a special interest in each of the
various Census enumerations. The
wisdom with which the future
course of the Negro American
can be planned will depend upon
the accuracy of the figures re-
sulting from the Census, and this
in turn will depend upon how
willingly and completely all the
questions asked are answered.
How many Negroes are there
IN the United States?? How many
nave work and how many are on
relief? How many have migrated
from South to North, from coun-
try to city? Which types of
Negro-owned business are increas-
ing and which are decreasing? :?
what proportion of Negro farm
operators are tenants or share
croppers?
These are but a few of the
many hundreds of questions, af-
tecting the life and happiness of
every colored American, which
Will be answered by the records
of the 1910 Census.
1t may be that some of the
questions asked by enumerators
VIII be hard to answer. In pre-
vious Censuses many persons were
a little afraid to tell the truth
about themselves, fearing that the
Information would be given to

 Gibraltar By Axis Powers Troops

UNDATED, Oct. 1 (H1 - Au- thoritative Fascist quarters in Rome predicting that England will probably shout victory and say Spain resisted the axis pressure" acknowledged that the immediate Spanish entry into the war is not at issue. Conferences started between Mussolini and Spanish minister Suner. These qu8~ters asserted that no such pressure was brought to bear on Spain despite the apparently syn chronizcd barrage of dispatches from Rome and Berlin recently, stating that Spain was expected to join the axis as a full-fedged partner.
 Well-informed sources in Der lin said meanwhile that German diplomacy was lending ''help- ing hand" to bring together the new axis partner Japan and her old foe, Russia, in a non-aggres-

War Passes 18th Month And Danger
 Of Invasion To Britain Is Remote
 Germans Feel Fury of RAF Raids

UNDATED, Oct 2 (H9 - Four swift-striking waves of German Warplanes attempted to bomb London but British Spitfires chased one formation down the Thames and the air ministry re ported all attackers were inter cepted or scattered.
 With clear flying weather, Der in said the aerial assault was greatly intensified during the day. The air ministry listed 8 Nazi planes doWned from mid night till noon without the loss of a single dafense fighter.
 As the war passed the 18th month the danger of a Nazi in vasion of England is apparently becoming more and more remote.
 London military circles said There is no reason to doubt" that HItier'S command has talk en over the direction of the It. allan operations in North Africa, aimed at breaking Britain's hold on the Mediterranean. These cir cles also said, in all probability

 The weather today was poor and h.gh seas were reported run ming in the Straits of Dover which was lashed by a cold north west wind.
 British and German bombers spread wide destruction in night patrols and it is becoming more and more evident that Germany which suffered little material ha voc in the World War is begin hing to feel the lash.

 While the FascistS cast doubt on the possibility of a formal Rome-Berlin-Madrid alliance for the present, the Italian press seemed to take it for granted that Spain could be used any way as an axis base for attack on Gibraltar. By this means the Nazi-FasciSt strategists apparent ly hoped to relieve Spain of a fortnight declaration of war az ainst England with the inevi- table consequence of a British blockade being clamped on Spain, yet they will utilize Spain for the assault on Britain's Glib raltar which guards the gate to the Mediterranean.

Wheat Price Controls
Strained by Slump
Al Winnipeg
Big Canadian Surplus
Depressing Factor on
Chicago Market
Stock and
~2IL
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Market Writer.


CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-Safeguards
erected to protect American wheat
producers from low world prices
were subjected to increased strain
today as the domestic market dis
played pronounced susceptibility to
the value of wheat in Canada.
United States prices ranged as
high as II to So cents a bushel above
wheat in other surplus producing
countries. due to the crop-control
and loan programs, drought. the
duty on importations and the recent
export subsidy system. However. the
grain trade watched closely action
of the Winnipeg market because
Canadian prices are near an import
basis despite the duty of AZ cents
per bushel
Canada has one of the largest
surpluses ever piled up pressing for
a market. More than 100000 900
bushels were for sale when the crop
was harvested and about 10 per cent
Of this now is stored under bond
at United States Eastern ports to be
ready for shipment to Europe. Much
more is held at points near the
United States.
Discount Widens.
Prices of wheat at Winnipeg the
past week have widened from II
cents per bushel discount under
Chicago quotations to around II
cents. There is an exchange diff
ference of 8 to 10 cents a bushel
plus the fact that Canadian grain
can be sent to some Eastern U. S.
points at cheaper transportation
cost than must be paid to deliver
domestic wheat Reports from the
East indicated that at some points
Canadian is priced only few cents
above domestic wheat.
Grain men contended material
importation of foreign wheat would
tend to nullify to some extent ef-
forts to raise prices paid American
producers. Crop control, the un-
favorable 1910 prospect and the
holding of about Is per cent Of the
1889 harvest off market under Gov.
ernment loans have bolstered do
mestic values, but the Government
now apparently must contend also
with the Canadian surplus, they
said.
Investigation Started.
The Tariff Commission has
started investigation of the situa-
ton with the view of possible ac-
ton to restrict imports if the tariff
proves insufficient.
Weakness at Winnipeg the latter
part of this week had part in the
reaction of Chicago prices which
wiped out practically all the sharp
gains scored Tuesday, the first trad
ing day of 1910. However, before
the opening today wheat was a-l%
cents higher than a week ago. Corn
was H-1 cent higher and oats LIS
up, while rye was 1919 lower, soy
beans 25s lower and lard 2-10 lower.
