VACATION At HOME:

of fat-back for their lunch. One
wonders.
And yet, one almost knows the
answer. they don't think, they
just pass it by as one of the in
evitabilities of life in the South,
in America. Here is what hap
pened one evening-my husband
and / went down into the back
woods of Cleveland County,
Arkansas for a meeting which
he had arranged through the
leaders of that community. When
we got there, we found that a
Sanctified meeting was also
scheduled there for the same time.
Being used to anything by that
time, my husband was not an
noyed. There was huge gather
ing of people there; they over
flowed the meeting house and
yard, and most of them were
young people. He spoke for about
thirty minutes on the need for
longer school terms, more schools
scholarships for graduates, equal
pay for teachers; he put every
thing he had into that plea, and
as he spoke | watched the faces
of the audience. Impassive. ex-
pressionless, some asleep. Elk
hausted and perspiring, he sat
down by me. Immediately the
young leader of the flock got up
and said: Folks, what the law
yer says is right; but what we
needs - we need Jesus" And
with those magic words, the
faces of the crowd lighted up,
became alive, tamburines burst
forth, singing and dancing such
as you have never seen began,
from babes seated around the
stage to old folks in the crowd.
We sat for long time, fascinated
and amazed; they were satisfied
with what they had. We got out
unnoticed and YEARLY made the
long journey home, asking our
selves over and over, do Neg
roes want better conditions?" DO
they want to help themselves?
Do they want anyone to help
them? Are they willing to sac
security and opportunity? What
can the Negro leader do which
will assure him the support of
his people?"
am sure Mr.. John Davis
faces that problem here in the
District of Columbia. Can he de-
pend upon the support of the
Negro, the cooperation of the
Negro leaders?
My husband, Mr.. Flowers, has
used many tactical methods in
trying to reach his goals. For
scholarships for colored grad
uate students of Arkansas, he
circulated a petition in many
counties heavily populated with
Negroes and got hundreds OF
names urging the enactment of
a law to provide for scholarship
aid, which was placed in the
hands of the Governor and the
State Department of Education.
The legislature voted $4,000 for
such scholarships, and some of
the students of Terrell and
Howard Law schools have been
helped through school.
A young Negro lawyer who has
his race at heart and who has
fighting blood in his veins, can
do much by mandamus, by in
junction, by petition, by confer
ence, by letters to the Governor,
by wires, by letting everyone
know that he is not satisfied,

Two Japanese prisoners said, how.

Big Soviet Wheat Crop
Threatened by Rains
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Aug. THE Soviet
Union will not be able to contribute
materially to any food chest TO,
Western Europe, agricultural experts
predicted today.
The best wheat crop since the
war is threatened, they say, by
drenching daily rains that have pre-
vailed for nearly three weeks in
Northern Russia, White Russia and
the wheat-producing areas in ST.
IBERIA.
But even If the nation should
turn out a good wheat crop this
year, authorities say they will first
better the lot of the Soviet people
who began the war with a set
bread rationing which was reduced
in the winters of 1884.
The Soviet Union contributed
wheat to Poland last year. and
brought some grain into Berlin dur
ing the first three weeks of occu-
patton, when the population bor-
dered on starvation.

Munitions Cutbacks
For 13-Month Period
Exceed 3 Billions

The War Production Board dis
closed today that munitions cutbacks
for the 13-month period ending July
% amounted to s23,l95, OO0, 900, with
about $4,000, 100000 accounted for
since April.
1.-THE heaviest impact of We war
contract cutbacks Is just beginning
to be felt by industry" the agency
declared in reporting on the month
by-month effect of cutbacks gath
cred by WPBs Production Readjust-
ment Committee.
WPB officials stressed that their
figures make no allowance for new
contracts for war work or for any
increases in production resulting
from rescheduling of contracts.
Reconversion Gains Reported.
Earlier, WPB reported that the
Nations reconversion program was
steadily gaining momentum. with
limited quantities of household ap-
planes scheduled to move from
factories to retail markets this fall
and more to come in the spring
and summer of 1885,
Sewing machines, vacuum clean
ers, domestic washing machines and
electric irons should reach retail,
markets in small quantities this
fall, while alarm clocks will appear
in fairly large numbers by that time,
WPB predicted.
Volume production, however, of
these and many other products of
consumer interest is not expected to
be attained until the spring or sum-
mer of 1916, and even then should
not be sufficient Immediately to meet
pent-up consumer demand" Fred
erick M. Mitchell, head of WPB's
consumer durable goods division,
declared.
Other Products Produced.
Other products such as razors,
razor blades, hearing aid batteries
and dry, cell batteries now are being
produced in quantities closely ap-
preaching public demand, WPB said.
"Reconversion is moving as fast
as it safely can in terms of man.
power and materials, for war pro-
duction cutbacks following victory
in Europe have not as yet resulted
in the release of large numbers of
workers or critical materials for
civilian production" Mr. Mitchell
stated. This situation, he added,
results from continuing and, in some
cases, increasing Requirements for
certain war and transporting ac-
tivities.
The slowness of reconversion In
some industries was seen in WPB's
disclosure that actual production of
mechanical refrigerators in the
third quarter of this year prob
ably won't exceed 10000, despite
the fact production of 265,000 units
has been authorized.
Similarly, washing machine pro-
duction in the same period will total

AL, Concentrating
On Domestic Issues,
Leaves World Union
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Aug. THE AFL,
committing itself to future isola-
tionism in the international labor
field, proposed today program for
rapid reconversion of mighty United
States war resources to head off
national depression.
AFL President william Green dis
closed to newsmen at the conclusion
of yesterdays first sessions of the
15-man Executive Council that the
Federation was withdrawing from
the International Federation of
Trade Unions-a step calculated to
speed the end of that world organi-
cation as it is presently constituted.
The AFL had been the lone Amer
lean representative in the IFTU,
and to date has successfully kept
out its rival CLIO and the powerful
Soviet trade unions, despite the eff
fort of leaders of the British Trades
Union Conference to bring them
into the Federation
New Congress Being Formed.
A new world trade union congress
is being formed, with a constitu-
tional convention scheduled for next
month in Paris-with the Russians
and the CLIO joining with British,
French, Central American and 9TH
er groups and excluding the AFL.
Mr.. Green said the AFL would
send two delegates-Council Mem
bers George Meany and william c.
Doherty-to the September meeting
of the British Trade Union Confer
ence, but that was merely a cour-
tesy.
The AFL, concentrating on do
nestle problems, declared in a
statement that America is now
getting too little reconversion.
Unless preparations for resump-
ton of peacetime production are
speeded up, it may be too late to
avoid major postwar depression.
Our country is less prepared for
peace today. than it was for war
at the time of Pearl Harbor.
Want War Effort Pared.
The Federation's program said:
The war effort must be scaled
down promptly to one-point basis,
which would provide the military
authorities with more than ample
support for carrying on the war
against Japan to a quick and vic
torious conclusion, but would per-
init release Of surplus men, ma
terials and facilities for an accele-
rated reconversion drive.
"A new peace production program
must be launched with vigor and
dispatch on a scale large enough
TO meet the Nations needs but
without interference to the war eff
fort
Controls Must Go.
Wartime Government controls
over labor and industry must be
dropped as rapidly as the war stu
alton permits and an effort made to
substitute voluntary, cooperative
methods for Government directives.
Every reasonable encouragement
should be extended by the Govern
ment to private industry to expand
postwar production and provide full
employment.
