Does the victory of the Labor Party in England mean that the majority of the people are "Red?"
 Ans: It depends on what you mean by the term Red" If you mean Communist, obviously the answer is no. If you mean a per son who favors a good deal of so- cial security legislation and social ism to the extent of nationaliza- tion of the Bank of England and coal mines the answer is yes.
 But we warn you that we do not think it possible to judge accurate ly the social revolution which is taking place in Britain at the mo- ment without allowing for the complexities in the British way of life which forever remain inex- plicable to outsiders. For instance, we watched group of young peo- pie who while waiting to cheer the King and Queen at Bucking- ham Palace on VI day, amused themselves by singing "When the Red Revolution Comes" They cheered loudly, they sang sincere ly.

Objects To Protest
Against Lynchings

Washington, d. c. - (DNS) -
The spirited and strenuous objec-
ton of Mrs. Emma B. Miller. of
Yazoo City, Miss, delegate to
the meeting of the National AS
ISOLATION of Colored Women, to
moss protest against Lynching by
the organization brought her re-
pudation quickly and dramatical-
ly during an open meeting of the
group at the Metropolitan Church
here last Monday.
The delegate from Mississippi
had hardly finished her speech be-
fore reports came of lynching
in her home state.
Mrs. Miller, wife of leading
physician of Yazoo City, seized
the mike while the delegates were
discussing a pilgrimage to the
White House to demonstrate the
Georgia lynching, and told them:
II think it is undignified to
picket; just leave us alone in the
South and we will solve our own
problems"
She continued, I'VE are not a.
fraid and we are doing everything
possible to better conditions. We
are fully capable of handling our
situations. Sentiment in chang.
ing and if outsiders will let us
alone, We will work things out
wonderfully
She said that the Mississippi
State Federation of Colored Wo-
mems Clubs had worked for 20
years trying to establish de
linquent home for Colored youths,
and recently the State appropriated
100000 for such an institution.
They now have one of the most
modern in the country, she added.
: The recent lynching referrel to
is that of Leon McTatie, 35, who
was accused of stealing a saddle.
His body was found in bayou
in Sunflower County.
On the same day (Tuesday), De-
putty Sheriff John Lewis, was held
on charge of murder in the shoot
ing of Buddy Wolf, father Of 10
children at Hattiesburg, Miss.

U. S. Surgeon
General to Speak

Washington, d. c., Aug. -
(NNPA) - DR.. Thomas Parran,
Surgeon General of the United
States Public Health Service, was
asked last Thursday, to discuss
in his address to be made before
the annual convention of the Ma
tional Medical Association to be
held in Louisville, KY, August
1923, ceretain phases of the act
providing for a national health
program.
The request was made by DR..
w. Montague Cobb, president of
District of Columbia Medico-
Chirurgical Society, who testified
on the bill during hearings before
the Senate Committee on Educa-
ton and Labor
While the colored profession
and the colored people, insofar as
they have become informed, tend
to favor the act without hesita-
ton, DR.. Cobb wrote DR.. Parran,
''there is a definite fear that
the specifications in the act for
administration both of public
health features and insurance
benefits, through state and local
officials at local levels, might
not insure the fair and equal
distribution of facilities and care
which the act intends"
The act provides that the Sur
geon General shall be responsible
for administering the prepaid
personal health service benefits
program. In administering the
program, the Surgeon General is
directed to give priority and pref
erence to the use of facilities and
services of state and local health
departments of agencies on the
basis of mutual agreements with
such agencies.
DIR. Cobb told DR.. Parran that
if he would comment on these
particular points in his address,
he would deal with an aspect of
the legislation in which every
member of your audience would
have the most vital interest.

Washington, D. c., Aug - The
battle cry Of Elkdom is "On to
Buffalo," declared J. Finley Will
son, grand exalted ruler of the
Improved Benevolent and Protect
i've Order of Elks of the World
last Tuesday, referring to the an
nual convention of the order which
will be held in Buffalo, New York,
August 25 80.
This convention will mark Mr..
Wilson's twenty-fifth year at the
head of the order, and reports
from all over the country indi-
cate that he will be reelected for
another term of two years without
any serious opposition.
The only discordant note, which
has been heard so far, comes from
Imperial and Brooklyn lodges in
New York City, which he suspend
ed from the order because of their
refusal to comply with the laws
of the order requiring that all
Elk's property be held in the name
of individual lodges and not in
any corporate name.
This has been the most pro-
missing year of our administra-
tion," Mr.. Wilson said. we have
made more new lodges and tenn
pies, we have burned more mort
cages, we have dedicated more
homes, we have presented more
iron lungs to outstanding colored
hospitals-Freedmen's in Wash
ington and Hubbard Hospital at
Meharry Medical College in Nash
ville-than in any year in the
history of the ORDER" he added.
Mr.. Wilson said the activities
of the order have resulted in six
colored physicians being appoint
ed on the staff of the General
Hospital in Nashville and in DR..
Carter Marshall of New Haven,
Connecticut, grand commissioner
of health, being appointed der
matologist on the Yale University
hospital staff.
Other achievements, he said, in
cluded a Treasury Department CT
tation for the purchase by Elks
of 100000 in War Bonds, for
which he was presented medal.

it to meet the challenge of the
day.
Hailing the valiant and courag-
Gus leadership of the colored
teachers of Virginia in securing
salary equalization, Mr.. Picott
pointed out that securing school
improvement is a job which can
be done best by organized groups.
He asked that the teachers them
selves throughout the South give
full financial support to their pro-
fessional organizations and like
wise organize parents and other
groups as a united battering-ram
against poor school facilities. De-
handing that teachers publicize
the work which they are doing,
Mr.. Picott maintained that when
teaching is appreciated by the PEG
pie it will get the support We de-
sire.
Mentioning that the term me
gro education and all that usage
connotes is an illustration of the
whole rotten fabric of our segre-
gated society, Mr.. Picott asked
the teachers to join with Virgin
la Association for Education in
fighting for the abolition of the
thinking and practice of desig-
mating education by race. Rather,
he held the kind of education we
want is that which provides equal
ity of opportunity for the children
of all the people.
Pleading, finally, with his
hearers not to let this coming
revolution in the South die, Mr..
Picott said that both Negroes and
white people in the South and
throughout America have too
much at stake.

was: Name us some sort of
business that most everybody
amt already in or trying to get
I'm that some of us G-I's can get
into and make some honest mon
ey? Not no Juke, Cafe, or barber
shop. Well, sir. That was the
best one | had ever had put to
me in all the history of our Sat-
urday Night Get-Togethers, cause
I had just got through reading
whole one page advertisement in
the Weekly Review the Birming-
ham paper run by my friend Rob-
ert Durr, one time Piney Wooder,
which told about the BROWN
BELL BOTTLING COMPANY,
got up ruined managed
owned by Negro business men
and as a whole one page adj
vertisement cost some big money
in a paper in town like Birm-
ingham know | can say
that the BROWN BELL BOTTL-
ING COMPANY is not only got up
ruined managed :.
owned by Negro Business but
l can say to that the POP put
out by the company is being
drunk by colored folks . &.
and maybe some others. So I ups
and says right away when the
question was put, why not some of
you CTS open up a BOTTLING
COMPANY here i nJackson 4.
Well to I thought about how to
get the money for that. In that
matter there is the banks . go
to the banks any time an dtry
them if you don't succeed, like the
poem says, try again and
like Bruce and the Spider try
thirteen times and when ever you
put that much trying into any
thing something is bound
to come out of it. Yes, Sir, as
one fellow said, l don't notice
much business being gone into
by the local G-I's and what think
is more wrong than anything else
is that they just haven't tried.
