aid to schools. The predictions OF
the Record have been proved cor
rect. But the legislature, counsel
ed by the Old Guard Uncle Toms
and guided by the knee-bending
executive Committee of the Pal
metto Teachers Association, die
not believe that the Negroes had
sufficient courage or Suf1lclent
means to sue for equal salaries.
Therefore the decision of Judge
Waring caught the LEGISLATURE un-
prepared to cope with the newly
created situation. Hence the many
secret sessions. And hence the
white supremacy rhetorical effu-
sions of the reincarnated Ben Till
man of Union. His speech was
designed to becloud the real is
sue and to divert the attention OF
the white citizens from the lack
of foresight and of the inadequacy
of their representatives. A classic
trick and maneuver Of mediocre
politicians-when caught short,
create diversions.
But back to business: BY the
common consent of most thinking
Negroes of this state, the graVest
problem confronting us here is the
problem of equal and adequate
educational opportunities. Now
that equal salaries for our teachers
are assured, the next step In our
program should be court action
Immediately to assure equal school
bus distribution. State Agent for
Negro Schools J. B. FELTON, him
self wrote that about SO percent
of the Negro students drop out OF
school at the 7th grade because
they lack transportation to en-
able them to attend high school
And a graph appearing in the An
nual Report of the State Superin-
tendent of Education for 1912
showed that higher percentage
of Negro high school graduates go
to college than do white graduates
of high schools
Therefore, there are fewer Ne
gro college graduates because there
are fewer Negro high school grad
yates; and there are fewer Negro
high school graduates because SO
percent of the Negro students drop
out of school at the 7th grade;
this SO percent drop out Of school
at the 7th grade grade because
they lack transportation to en-
able them to attend high school.
Ergo, if we want to increase the
number of Negroes who finish col
lege, we must increase the num-
Der of buses available for Negro
school children
Last year the state TRANSPORTED
more than $4,000 white students
and only 551 Negro students)
To achieve this end, a plea is
being made to the Negro Citizens
Committee, in particular, to help
direct and finance the projected
suit for equal transportation ia
cilities for Negro school children
This Committee made no contri-
button whatsoever to the funds
raised for the equal salary court
action. In fact, excepting the
Branches of the NAACP and GER
tain county teachers associations,
the only organization which con-
tributed to this fund was the
Omicron Phi Chapter (Columbia)
of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.
ALL organizations should now
give until its hurts.
And now that the way has been
clearly shown through and by
which we can solve our most
serious problem namely, lack Of

1t is this middle class, under
the contemptuous epithet of the
"bourgeoisie," that the Communists
of Russia have sworn to exterminate.
Our American Communists, said
Mr.. Johnston, have not yet Caught
on" to the fact that there are no
"proletarians" in America.
HOW, THEN, CAN YOU MAKE
A PROLETARIAN REVOLUTION,
MR.. OHNSTON ASKED HIS
HOSTS, AMONG WORKERS WHO
DO NOT EVEN KNOW THAT
THEY ARE PROLETARIANS?
A ND then Mr.. Johnston made his
a boldest statement before these
enemies of our political and economic
system when he said:
"H you (medning the Russian
Reds take pepper, they sneeze.
eff you haze Indigestion, they
belch."
In word, he told the Russians,
from the head blouse in the Kremlin
down to the most humble worker,
that the American Communist party,
no matter how often it changed its
name, was directed from Moscow and
was, therefore NOT AMERICAN in
any sense.
Let us admit this gulf between the
two peoples.
Let Russia stay on her own prem
Uses and indulge in any experiments
she sees fit.
And the U. S. A. will, in turn, stay
on her own premises and pursue her
own free enterprise way.
Having this understanding, we
can still do business on bridge over
the gulf that divides us.
But hands off of our institutions!
Eric Johnston has blown to shreds
all the rhetorical bowling, scraping
and bootlicking of the Joe Davieses
and Wendell Wilkes.
He has spoken the truth to Russia
on her home ground.
For that he deserves the thanks
of the much de ceived American
people.

Moscow Is BIuntly Told
Where America Stands

A T LAST we have a courageous
"A American who dares to tell the
Russians face to face what President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill have failed to say.
That man is Eric Johnston, the
youthful president of the United
States Chamber of Commerce.
He has told the Moscow Reds, as
their guest, that the American peo-
pie and the Russian people are NOT
ALLIES ECONOMICALLY OR IN
THEIR WAYS OF LIFE.
Mr.. Johnston's speech is one of
the most extraordinary, and GER
tainly one of the most clarifying,
made during this war.
Expressing his admiration for the
heroic deeds of the Russian armies in
driving the Germans out of Russia,
he then goes straight to the irrecon
ciliable differences of the American
way and the Russian way in these
telling sentences:
an economic theology and prac-
tice my country is different from
yours. You are state-minded and
collectiUe-m minded. We are most
private minded and most individual
minded, and gentlemen, make no
n1istake-De are determined to re-
main so and euen become more so"
DEFORE we can cooperate in the
- postwar period, Mr.. Johnston
says, there is zone point that must be
totally clear between us" and that is
that no American union or major
political party favors "the primary
socialistic principle of common oWn-
ership and operation of the means of
production and distribution.
He pointed out to the open
mouthed Soviet trade leaders"
whom he addressed that the Amer
lean Communists haze been COM
pietely Uasting their time"
No American laboring man, Mr..
Johnston told his audience, considers
himself ''proletarian."
Our workers belong to the mid
die classes, and are proud of it.

Under the whitening late summer sun, the danger of fire
increases. Forests and fields are finder dry. Farm barns are
crammed to the roof with inflammabe livestock feed.
This year the danger of fire is greater than normal, be-
cause of the manpower shortage. Forest protection agencies
have lost many of their trained "smoke chasers" and no longer
can count on large numbers of men to combat conflagrations.
Last year in the single state of California, fires in timbered
areas, water sheds, and grain fields swept through $4,000
acres. Nine out of ten were man made and therefore prevent
able. Such fires do irreparabLe damage to the war effort. They
destroy natural resources that only time can replace. Where
standing timber has been wiped out, this means hundreds OF
years.
From now until the first soaking fall rains, efforts to pre-
vent fire should be redoubled. Extreme care should be used
in burning trash. Every cigarette butt should be completely
extnguished. Extreme caution should govern the use of
matches.
There are stiff penalties for failure to observe preventa-
tive measures during the fire season. But even these are
futile unless the public intellectually cooperates with fire
prevention authorities. In most instances, the thoughtless Gull
prit who starts a fire through careessness, is not apprehended.
He may wreak destruction totaing many millions of dollars.
He may also bring death to many persons.
These are things we should take time to think about dur
ing dry summer days.
