shy. For some inexplicable rea-
son, he began to develop very
extraordinary talents. He sang
particularly spirituals, well. He
played the piano. accordian and
organ with some virtuosity, al
though he had never had the
price of a lesson. He made beauti-
full laces with his long, clever
fingers. He painted charming pic
lures of native flowers. uncannily
accurate in their botanical detail.
And with all growing things he
had a green thumb. He seemed
to know more about the common
wayside plants than anyone in
any town where he worked. May
be because he rose before dawn
every morning, and roamed the
fields and woods. collecting and
classifying plant life, although he
had no books to tell him what
he was looking for, or how to
do 1t.
Wherever he went he made
friends among colored and white
folks. They helped him lot. But
he was always most careful to
give service for every penny. He
saved little, because he always
gave his services more generously
than he was paid for them.
In the year 1890 he entered
Simpson college at Indianola, In
diana. This was a white Methodist
college which had Christian faith
and democratic vision enough to
take few colored men. After
he had paid his entrance fees,
he had 10 cents left in his peck
ct. He bought cents worth of
corn meal and 5 cents worth of
suet. He lived on that for a
week. He then worked his way
for a year as college-laundry-
and janitor. There he started and
taught Bible classes, which be-

ed to be a healing power in his
fingers when they touched torn
muscles. At Iowa State he began
to show a totally inexplicable
genius for agricultural chemistry.
He got his B. A. in 1894 and his
M. A. in 1896. When he graduated
he was invited to remain as
member of the faculty. But short
ly after. the call came from
Booker T. Washington to join the
staff of the struggling Tuskegee
Institute in Alabama. He was Of
fered its Department of Agricul-
ture and Chemistry. He accepted
at once. What Negro could refuse
Booker T. Washington, that young
courageous leader of his people?
Washington was among the first
colored leaders to see that the
Negro problem had not been solv-
ed by emancipation. The children
of the beaten backs, and branded
breast had been released from
physical slavery only to face
economic and political slavery.
They had been tossed into "Liber-
ty" without homes, fields, food,
clothes, jobs, votes, or education.
Never having owned property, they
knew neither how to protect it,
or acquire it. Their families had
been torn apart by slave-sales.
Their women, who had never
been allowed legally to marry
their mates, had often been used
by white masters. Their morals
and ethics were unstable. Except
as faith itself had given them
instructions, except as they could
steal away to Jesus, they had
no Teacher of any kind. Mentally
and spiritually crippled by white
men, now they were free. Free
to enter in fierce economic COM
petition with these same white
men. The men who believed that
because of the Negroes false pre-.
tentions to humanity and liberty
the South had been economically
ruined and physically devasted.
This was the cruel situation
that faced Booker T. Washington.
In the beginning he began al
most single-handed to lick 1t. BY
teaching his bewildered and suf-
fering people to help themselves.
By teaching them how to work,
how to save, how to fit them
selves by manual training first

 PEACE TREATY

MOSCOW, NOV z3.-(Ti-lne So- viet Union stcodN firm today on It's oft-repeated position that ground work for the Japanese peace treaty must be laid by the Council of For eign Ministers, where the veto may be exercised.
 The Russian Foreign Ministry Tass reported, rejected a Chinese suggestion that the treaty be con- s.dered by the Far Eastern Com mission, with a unanimous vote Of the Big Four-in this case, Britain, China. Russia and the United States-required for any decision.
 The Russians expressed agree ment with the Chinese concept of unanimity of the Big Four (the r.ght to exercise the veto) but said the Japanese peace settlement should be undertaken first by the Foreign Ministers of Britain, China, Russia and the United States, and proposed that they meet in China next January for that purpose.
 Coples of the Soviet note, by Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov, were sent to the United States and Britain. Thus, presumably, the United States will be required once more to state it's position on the Japanese treaty. Up to now the United States has been against any use of the veto in a Japanese peace conference.

The W ashington Merry Go Round

 During the past three weeks l have been privileged to witness first hand great display of public generosity, as the American people, through the Friendship Train, spon- sored a pilgrimage in reverse to the lands of their forefathers.
 The Friendship Train, still grow ing as 1t moves in new sections across the land, will bring both the material nourishment that keeps men alive and the spiritual hope that makes men hold their heads high. It will carry a message of thanks to those who still protect our remaining beachhead of free dom Tn Western Europe.
 As Michigan's Senator Arthur Vandenberg, introducing the interim Eurooean Aid Bill in the Senate this week, told his colleagues:
 We have been witnessing a dra- matically significant coincidence in the life of the nation these recent days Two special railroad trains have been steamlng across the broad expanse of our great and precious America One is the Freedom Tram, the other is the Friendship Tram.
 "The Freedom Train reminds all people that their heritage stems from liberty under law; that thelr richest blessing is a Constitution and a Bill of Rights which protects the spiritual dignity of man and the independence of the citizen; and that there are no values in life which could compensate us for the loss of these divine privileges.
 The Friendship Train eXempli- fies the devotion of our people to the .humanities which make most of the world akin; demonstrates our instinct our tradition and our inn pulse to feed the hungry and to feed the sick; and personifies the fortnrightness which is the genius of lasting peace.
 This bill is both a freedom train and a friendship train when it reaches those for whom these bene- dictions are intended. hope that Senators will choose to ride"
