Explains why Land Ownership
No Longer Is Profitable in England.
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the Edltor OF Inc star:
I am puzzled by q passage in the
letter from Walter N. Campbell which
you printed in your issue of March %.
1t reads as follows:
: However far Communist doctrine may
attain to power in Europe. there is little
likelihood of its spreading to conservative
Great Britain. The indications are that
her great material losses will force an
end to the long campaign against land
lordism through measures to tax its
profits in land rents into the public
treasury where, as socially made values,
they rightly belong BY that simple ex-
pedient will be added economic freedom
in the use of her soil to the political
freedom she has long enjoyed"
This statement might have had some
application to the England of half
century ago. Today it is meaningless
England has long ceased to be con-
servative and there Is no campaign
against landlordism" nowadays.
The average English landowner even
before the outbreak of the present war
was taxed to the tune of about rs per
cent of his income. Today he pays 80
per cent or more. With very few ex-
ceptions land is no longer remunerative
investment, showing a possible net re-
turn of / per cent or less-in q large
proportion of cases, indeed, a loss.
Some individuals with incomes derived
from other sources hold their land for
historical or sentimental reasons or
merely for its amenities.
A friend of mine who died recently
held some 5000 acres which his ancestors
had possessed in unbroken succession
since the Norman Conquest. Its value
at his death was computed at some
$3.50 900, but all his life he had been too
poor to own a motor car. The net in
come from this land never exceeded
81 500 a year. ERIC UNDERWOOD.

Suggests Differences Between Chinese
And Russian Communism.
To the Editor of The Star:
hope that before your editorial
writer tries his hand at another piece
on the Chinese Communists he will have
an opportunity to read Edgar Shows
Red Star Over China" He then will
be rather dubious about making such
bald statements as that in Saturdays
editorial: Beyond doubt is the loyalty
of the Communist leaders to Moscow"
and such hints as that Red China"
would necessarily be in close alliance
with Soviet Russia
He may find that the lines of trans
portation, communication and thought
between the Chinese Communists and
Russia are tenuous If not nonexistent;
that Russia's aid has been sent to the
Kuomintang armies of Chang Kai-shek,
and that Russia recognizes the latter
as head of the Chinese government, not
the Reds. He also may find the Chinese
Communist theology quite different from
the Stain brand
He may even begin to wonder after
comparing Communist China with the
old China as Chang has perpetuated
it, why China should be organized
"along Western lines, including such
conservative features as parliamentary
government, private property and tradi-
tional social institutions" BIB.
Welcomes News Stories
About Negro Geniuses.
To the Editor Of The Star:
The reporter covering the appearance
of E. Simms Campbell at Howard Uni
versity on Friday, March a. is to be
commended for writing the story that
appeared in The Star
For years, there has been such a tight
censorship on the many worthwhile
news stories that could have been writ
ten about our fellow Negro citizens
until whole populations in this city and
in many parts of the country know these
citizens as only criminals, poverty
stricken outcasts and clowns Right
now this censorship is adding to the
dimculties encountered by those who
would seek total, national unity during
the present emergency. The same hand
that reaches far down into South Ameri-
ca must not be allowed to continue to
bar our citizens of color from the full
measure of recognition which they merit.
There are thousands of E. Simms
Campbells, Marian Andersons, George
Washington Carvers and modern Booker
T. Washingtons who are ready to serve
our Nation If our cause is democracy
and not mockery..

Z Park officials give little or no
credit to the curtailment of
European travel in analyzing
causes of the increased number

DALLAS, lex, NOV. 4.
MEXICO is basking in the
Ava glow of increased business
with the United States. Hordes
Of American tourists swarm
over the international border
daily.
From the office of Mexican
Consul Louis Perez-Abreu comes
word that Ia new hotels have
been built in Mexico City since
January / to care for more than
100000 sightseeing Americans.
More hotels are being con-
structed, the consul said, and
added that 1899 autos from
Dallas and North Texas alone
have been given permits to
travel in Mexico in addition to
IL organized tourist parties.
And with all the entertaining
Mexico is doing for Americans,
comes a brighter note. The
general boom has made it neces-
sary for Mexico to double its
production of steel for export.
A smelter is being installed at
Monterrey.
BODYBUILDING machinery is
being purchased in the United
States for new highways be-
tween Monterrey and Reynosa
and between Mexico City and
Guadalajara.
A representative of a national
truck manufacturer said in Dali
las recently that his company
had sold more than 400 trucks
to the Mexican government for
highway work.

Gas Stations Drop

Gasoline conservation is be-
lieved to be the key that ex-
plains the drop from 1872 to 325
in service stations and from 81
to 35 in auto garages. 1t is not
surprising, then, that bicycles
are being wheeled out of n
stores by comparison with 20 in
1910.
The chain store trend and
enlistments are probably &C.
countable for a decline from 120
to lot in retail bakeries, and
from 238 to go in butcher
shops, although there are now
915 other retail dealers by COM
parison with 887.
