Insurance Plan
Organized By
'Bama 4-Her's

The colored All club boys and
girls of Alabama have organized a
cooperative insurance plan to pro-
tect their priced livestock, accord
ing to reports received by the u. S.
Department of Agriculture from
the Alabama State Extension Ser
vice.
The plan was developed at a
Statewide meeting of Alters at
Tuskegee July 2 August %. After
an organization the State All
Club Council-had been established
the boys and girls Immediately
took up one of the major problems
facing them-protection for their
club calves. Figures were present
ed showing the number of calves
exhibited at the stock shows and
the number that died each year
while being raised by the Alters.
To meet this problem, the club
boys and girls established and
adopted a cooperative program to
insure their calves. Dr. J. R. Otis,
State Extension leader for Negro
work, says that All club boys and
girls will exhibit about 400 calves
at the fat stock shows in the State
next April.

Lining Our Religion
BIZ the ReU. M. P. German.
Pastor OF Bethany Baptist Church.

When Edwin Markham, the beloved
American poet, once was visiting
college campus he was asked by
group of students to autograph for
each OF them copy of his book con-
tanning a selection of his best poems.
Then one of the students asked him
if he would write below his name a
sentence which would explain what
had made him the poet he was The
sentence this great but humble man
wrote was this: Come, let us live
the poetry We sing
Now, I am sure If the poet were
living today he would not in the
least object to our paraphrasing this
excellent sentence and making it ap-
ply to our religion: Come, let us live
the religion We profess. Indeed one
suspects that right here is Christian
lty's greatest weakness We do not
live the religion we profess.
Let us take three basic principles
upon which our religion is built,
namely, the Fatherhood of God, the
brotherhood of man and the sacred
ness of human life. Theoretically,
at least, all of us believe these prin-
ciples, but few of us practice them
as we should
Consider the Fatherhood of God,
which has been the heart of the
Christian gospel for almost 1000
years. God is Father of us all and
not of any particular race or class
or nationality. We all are his chill
dreh and He loves us all alike What
an inclusive gospel this is! We have
right to be proud of it because it
has no equal in any other of the

What Lockouts?

In his message vetoing the Case
bill President Truman declared:
STRIKES and lockouts are the great
est handicaps to attaining vital pro-
duction."
There is no mystery about the
strikes for they have been all too
common in the coal, Steel automo-
bile, railroad, petroleum and other
vital industries. But the lockouts are
another matter. What is a lockout,
and which of them has been handi-
Gaping production? According to
the oxford English Dictionary, a
lockout is IAN act of locking out a
body of workers; that is, a refusal on
the part of an employer, or num-
Der of employers acting in concert,
to furnish work to their operatives
until conditions have been assented
to by the latter collectively"
1t is difficult to think of anything
in recent years which might be
called lockout. Certainly, none of
the work stoppages to which the
President was referring were lock-
outs; they were strikes pure and
simple. The Department of Lsbor's
Bureau of Labor Statistics does not
even attempt to keep record of
lockouts, and has not done so for
twenty years or more. Nor can
officials there remember any recent
stoppage which might be called a
lockout in the defined meaning of
that word.
Occasionally, some union contends
thet its members have been locked
out. But when their claim is ex-
amined it appears, at best, that they
are engaged in a strike provoked by
some unreasonable act or attitude of
their employer That there have
been some strikes of this character
is hardly open to question. But they
were not lockouts.
The fact is that lockouts in the
accepted meaning have not had any
substantial effect, and probably have
not had any effect, in retarding pro-
duction. Yet the President speaks of
strikes and lockouts indiscrimi-
nately, as though they had con-
tributed in equal measure to our in
dustrial setback. This technique did
not originate with Mr.. Truman. It's
roots go back to a desire to give an

Soviet-Afqhun Pact

The signing of new treaty be-
tween Afghanistan and the Soviet
Union has caused furry of uneasi-
ness in London. This disquietude is
due not so much to the substance
OF the treaty itself as to the man.
ner of its negotiation and the gen.
eral background of recent Soviet
Afghan relations.
To begin with, the agreement was
negotiated secretly and is hailed by
the Moscow Izvestia, mouthpiece of
the kremlln, as demonstration of
the Soviet governments attentive
attitude to the rights and needs of
small nations" The Moscow press
used much the same phraSeology in
regard to recent Soviet pacts with
Outer Mongolia and other lands
along Soviet Russia's ASiatic from
tiers, all of which have increased
Soviet influence over those regions.
London also draws disquieting re-
Elections between Soviet activity in
Afghanistan and its current gains of
disguised control over adjacent parts
OF Northern Iran or Persia.
The outstanding feature of the
SoViet-Afghan agreement concerns
the frontier region where Russias
border meets with those of Afghan
lStan and Iran. This district, known
as kushka, has long been in dis
pute, and by previous agreement
dating from 1921 the inhabitants,
who are of Afghan origin, were to
have the right to conduct a vote as
to their political connection. BY the
new agreement, Afghanistan re-
nounces its claim to Kushka, which
is henceforth admittedly Soviet ter
ritory. The other clauses of the new
agreement, which concern water
rights at various points along the
frontier, are of minor significance.
The Kushka region is strategically
important, has considerable agricul-
tural wealth and adjoins a pre-
sumably valuable, though as yet
uneXploited, oil field in the Afghan
province of Herat, just to the south
ward and which appears to be
continuation of the oil-rich region
of MeShed, just across the Iranian
border, which is now under effective
Russian economic control
Britain has always been highly
sensitive to Russian penetration of
Afghanistan, which is the vital buffer
state between Russia and British
India. Until World War I Afghan
iStan was under British influence,
but in 1921 its complete independ-
ence was formally recognized Con-
currently, the prestige of the newly
established Soviet Union began grow
ing, following the Sovietizing of the
Mohammedan regions of Central
Asia, just to the northward. India's
political evolution with the ap-
preaching end of British rule there
has had profound repercussions in
Afghanistan which tend logically to
swing the country into the Soviet
orbit, now that the counterweight
of British power is being removed.
And Afghanistan is the historic
gateway to India.

Passing the Buck

The decision of the Department of
Agriculture to dismiss by July / all
employees who do not sign an affi-
davit disclaiming membership in
any union which asserts the right to
strike against the Government ap-
parently conforms to the letter of
the rider which Congress is expected
to attach to the department. ap-
preparation bill. But the practical
effect would seem to be to pass the
buck" to the individual worker by
requiring him to make determina-
ton which more properly should be
made by some higher authority.
This rider. which is expected to
be incorporated in all departmental
appropriation bills. is aimed at the
United Public Workers of America
and was inspired in large part by
the pro-Communist tone of a reso-
luton adopted at its recent conven-
ton. Technically, however, and
possibly because it seemed the most
feasible method of underwriting the
union, the rider is directed to a sec
tion of the unions constitution
which contemplates the possibility
OF strikes against the Government.
But it might be argued that the
union does not assert" a right to
call such a strike.
In support of this thesis it has
been pointed out that the union
constitution states that at shall not
be the policy of this union to engage
In strikes" and officers of the or
ganization have asserted formally
that the union is "flatly and un-
equivocally" opposed to strikes in
the public service. This is not con-
elusive. but it clothes the question
with enough doubt to justify the
view that the determination as to
whether the union asserts a right
to strike against the Government
should be made by some public au-
thority and not passed on to the
individual members of the union.
Furthermore it is worth noting that,
If need be, the union could evade
the intent of the rider by simply
amending or striking from it's con-
stitution the language which seems
to contemplate the possibility of a
strike. And that would leave safely
attached to the public payroll the
Communists and ow-travelers in
this union who should not be per-
mitted to work for the Government
under any circumstances.
