Alcorn, Miss. April 2.-The re-
cent announcement of the reelec-
ton of DR.. w. H. Pipes to head
Americas oldest Immigrant col
lege also mentioned his being
granted a leae of absence to go
to Europe. This caused much
speculation. Rumor and hersay
not being suitable for publication
prompted an interview with the
Alcorn president.
In answer to the question why
the trip to Europe, DR.. Pipes said,
Several weeks ago / had the
honor of being invited by DR.. AL
fred G. Fisk, professor of philos-
ophy at San Francisco State Col
lege, to be a member OF a group
of 20 educators, lecturers, writer's,
etc., oform a Seminar in Eu-
rope to tour certain European
countries. Places and people will
be visited with view of devel-
oping members of the Seminar for
greater service in America"
The group will leave Ney York
by plane on June 9th, for Lon
don. The tour will include Paris,
Milan, Rome, Trieste, Munich,
Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Nurnberg,
Prague, Wroclaw, Stockholm and
Copenhagen, ending in New York
on September 9th.
Although DR.. Pipes has not def
initely decided to go, Mississippi
is still profoundly honored in
that the president of one of it's
Negro colleges was invited to
join wit hsuch educators as the
President of the University of
Oklahoma to make the European

ed to about as much as agreements
among nations in the world today.
More than one person of those days

in what was otherwise a hard and
monotonous life.
A few notes about the finished ca
nal, as it appeared in 1850. It's
length was 18412 miles, of which
the longest stretch, II miles, was,
and is, in Washington County. The

500 feet, from sea level to the Cum

1t must not be thought that be-
cause of the financial failure of the
venture that the canal failed. It
served its purpose in. many ways.
1t helped open up the west, notably
the coal fields of our own mountains
And had it not been for a few I'M
forseen difficulties, especially the
devastating floods, the canal would
undoubtedly have been used to this
day. But at several different times
spring freshets almost completely
destroyed some parts of the canal,
washing away great parts of the
tow path levee, and all parts not of
solid stone, costing immense amounts
of money for repairs.
About 1890 the creditors of the
canal began to demand a sale, and
there was a threat of abandoning
the canal entirely. But politics won
some Support for the canal And
threatened competition for another
enterprise, the B. & o. Railroad,
which had ever since its beginning
been an enemy of the canal, now
brought support for the canal from
the B. & o. also (they bought a
number of canal bonds) in order to
discourage another rail company
from constructing a road that would
compete with them. Then trustees
were appointed to operate the ca
nal, and 1t continued to operate,
though not actually paying anyone
as an investment, till the series of
floods in 1924 After this the canal
was not repaired, and in 1886, still
more serious flood ruined all hopes
of ever again putting the canal back
into operating condition.
There are many other interesting
things that could be told, and many
people who have interesting remem-
brances of experiences on the ca
nal. l hope to talk to some of these,
and to report to you anything of
interest that l can learn.

respect their own native kin
folk. Be We not deceived, this
land of opportunity has made
it possible for many Virgin Is
landers to be thrown in the
immediate association of the
type of Americans your Coun-
cilmen may never meet.
Your Councilmen need to be
told by YOU that they can get
NO WHERE by insisting on
making trips to Washington
D. c. seeking help with their
backs turned against their ma
tive kinfolk who live here.
They need also to be told by
YOU that if and when they
decides to enlist our aid, that
they cannot hope for any good
results by telling Senators,
Congressman, Interior Depart
ment officials and the Press
not to pay any attention to us
and that YOU who live in the
islands do not want us to butt
into your affairs.
You should not hesitate to
rise against such political
schemes and trickery as the
establishment of a lobbying
headquarters in Washington,
D. c. for the Virgin Islands.
Effective lobbying at best
costs money-lots of money.
It will definitely cost more
