THIS
WORLD
Richard Wright's Book
Gunther's Latin America

Harry P. Felgate Of Winona,
whose trenchant pen has often
been used to champion the cause
of the Negro, writes us that John
Selby, a literary critic, says in
writing 100000 Black Voices"
Richard Wright committed a lit
erary sin. Mr.. Felgate adds that
''Mr. Selby certainly does not feel
that 100000 Black Voices does
the Negro the real outstanding JUS
tice they deserve and I echo his
sentiments. This writer has not
read Wright's latest book, being
now quite occupied perusing Gun
theirs "Inside South America" in
which that gentleman goes on to
praise the Latin-American coun-
tries with little or no Negro popu-
lation highly. Those countries with
large mullato and Negro popula-
tons he pictures as most back
ward. Reading the book, you get
the idea that Gunther carries with
him the race superiority complex
of many North American whites,
an attitude which may cost this
country full cooperation of the
countries to the south of us.
Well get around to reading
Wright's book soon. We will find
out whether we agree with Selby
and our friend, Felgate.

CHAPTER |

1t was little past noon when
the mailboat reached FbaS Island
and Bill Talcott, who had been
up since dawn, noticed with
amazement the arrival Of four
visitors. He had no difficulty in
spotting the new man HaiSey, a
rangy, lantern-jawed individual
IN his forties, and he guessed that
the skinny little fellow with the
voluninous bricfcase would be
the company auditor.
Blu, the other two, a mustaChCd
character much the worse for the
ride across Anegada Passage,
and A slender blond girl in plum
colored slacks, were entirely out
of place. 1t was only because
the girl was SO positive in order
ing the transfer OF her luggage
that Bill Talcott decided she
must be a relative Of Halsey s
who had come along TO see him
settled in his new home.

rangy man admitted after he had

Whatever concern he held at
the strangeness of Halsey man

the office. In its hot interior,
Struthers had surrounded him
self with books. The auditor S
coat was off and his wet shirt
chung TO his skinny ribs. His
eyes were enormous behind
thick-lensed glasses, and he
shifted and said, "Talcott, you

Selective advancing tendencies
were in evidence at the start and

Tax selling waned but there still was
sufficient to put brakes on any wide
swing. Good earnings prospects for
certain companies helped sentiment
and thoughts Of normal year-end
rally served as a specialized slim
ulant. While plus marks we're well
distributed in the final hour, de-
clines were plentiful.
Dealings, fairly fast in the fore

transfers for the full stretch were
around 600 1000 shares.
