Alvanley Johnston, grand chief

Suggests Seizure
"Due to the obstinancy of the

settlement with their employees,
I suggest Congress enact legisla-

of the lines, impound all funds and
make suitable adjustments OF
grievances with employees" said
Whitney.
Government ownership and opera

be the only way by which over

and railroad finances placed upon
a sound basis. 1t will also eliminate

The proposal to retest enlisted
men is opposed by key war depart
ment officials on the ground that it
would set up an artificial example
since it would give an inaccurate
picture of Negro qualifications. In
rebuttal, it is pointed out that
schools could refuse to give degrees
on the ground that a graduating
class was not naturally representa-
tive" since it did not include some
Americans who could not read and
write.
It is understood two Negro edu-
Gators have also registered protests
to the Ray retesting plan, but main
ly because of jealously over the
civilian aide having an enviable
position and using his office to push
the plan without their aid and sane
ton.

Modern Farmers Ruin
PrOphecy Of Nautilus

Nautilus, who predicted that the
increase in world population would
so far outStrip production that
wide spread starvation would re-
suit, caused a lot of people in his
time a great deal of needless worry
but the intervening 100 years has
proved how difficult it is to judge
future codnitions.
Rural economists at Ohio State
University explain that world pop
ulation probably has increased
faster than Nautilus expected but
he had no idea how much new
lands and new methods would af-
feet the world food supply. Condi-
tions in India during recent fam
ines illustrate how correct Nautilus
would have been if primitive
farming methods still prevailed in
all nations.
Total population in the u. S. has
increased 26O per cent since 1870,
but only 18 out of each 100 people
now live on farms. During the war
years when demand for farm pro-
ducts was the greatest on record,
more than 100000 workers left
u. S. farms but farm production
increased 20 per cent.
The rural economists say the
output of farm products per farm
worker almost tripled between
1870 and 1910 and these observ-
ers of farm trends believe a fur
ther increase in worker efficiency
