NEW ORLEANS (ANP)- 1t
has been officially ANNOUNCED here
that between 500 and 800 Jamai-
can Negroes are to be brought to
Louisiana for the harvesting of
sugar cane.
Final word was delayed until
all difficulties had been ironed
out by the British West Indies
commission, the Farm placement
Service Of the department of la
Dor, and the immigration service
of the department of justice.
Farm officials are Of the opinion
that many more Jamaicans will be
needed, but unless the required
formalities are eliminated the
workers sought will get employ
ment elsewhere.
Sugar cane authorities assert
that, weather permitting, the cane
crop this year will exceed that of
any previous year. They also
stated that the Jamican laborers
sought were now in Wisconsin, Mi
chigan, and Illinois. The Louisiana
employers will pay the expenses
of the itinerant farmers.
The British West Indies COM
mission requires employers to
guarantee the expenses of return
ing laborers to Jamica. Tobacco
growers in Connecticut and can
ing factories in New Jersey may
take over the responsibility as
we'll as to pay tor their transporter
ton from Louisiana to those
states.
A check of Southern farm Sec
tons reveals that Jamaicans have
not Jared so we'll in the South
where they are denied the equal
rights which they are accustomed
to in the Northern farming areas,

The Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION is proving to be an eff
fective agency in welfare work
throughout the Republic Of Liber-

more emphasis on leadership train

A recent tabulation by the To-
cal Y headquarters disclosed that
there are % YMCA clubs and in
terests groups of the type which

One exception in the official Y
family is David Howell, an Ameri-
can Negro who is executive secre-
tary. He formerly was YMCA ex-
ecutive secretary in Atlanta.
Recently a new unit of the Y
was formed under the leadership
of Assistant Secretary of State M.

as the International Relations

Arizona's Copper
Production Drops Off

Arizona's copper production de-
clined 32,220,000 pounds, or 40, in
1949, according to fignres received
by the State Department of Min
eral Resources from the u. S.
Bureau of Mines.
The drop was from 750,242,OO0
pounds in 1949 to 718,O2O,0OO last
year. ALI of it is attributed to cur
tailment in the spring, when there
was a temporary slump in the
price of copper. Well before the
end of the year the mines were
going full blast.
Despite the loss, Arizona held
her place as the leading copper
producing state, which she has
held since 1907. She was second
in zinc, fourth in lead, fourth in
silver, but way down the list in
gold.

Inter-RaCiaI Group
Make Baha'I Trip

A notable trip was made by an
inter-racial Bahai group la S
week through Arizona, New Mex
| leo, Texas and Mexico. The OBJ
ject of the trip was to teach by
word of mouth and by example
the principles of the only world
religion existing (Baha'D;- prac
ticing what everyone else breaches
about truth unity and brotherhood.
In Tucson, Ariz., Charles Cor
nell, a recent graduate of Berk-
eley High School in California,
gave talk along with Graham P.
Conroy, also of Calf. on "Mid-
Century, Half Way to Where?".
The theme of the talk was:
Here we are in 1850, mid-cen-
tury but where is this world going
and why? "We have to seriously
think and act now for the future
unity and welfare of this world"
he said.
In Texas, the inter-racial group
contacted people interested in the
Bahai Faith and ate at public
places only when they'd serve the
groups. Even the Chinese restaur-
ant wouldn't serve them, they re-
fused to accept food to take out.
But finally were given top serv-
ice at the chinatown" a Mex
lean and Negro restaurant. Tex
ans stared at the group but no one
said anything to them unfavorably
except a few smart aleck boys,
on their return trip, they reported.
Their next stop was in Juarez,
Mexico. Since they were going in
to the interior of Mexico, a $500
passport had to be obtained, good
| for six months. The road to Chi
huahua was excellent, they said,
with many gas stations along the
l225 miles from JuareZ to Chihua-
hua.
The reception received by Mex
leans was exactly the opposite
from that of Texans or North
Americans in general, that is, they
welcome Negroes since they see
them so seldom. Everyone hollers
"Ola-" hello, and waves enthus-
iastically while children followed
them down the street and came
to shake their hands. Literally,
every door was open to them.
Johnny Eichenauer, who pion-
eered to South America when only
II years old, to teach the Baha'i
Faith, spoke the language fluently
and was interviewed by Sr. Err
nesto Fernando Duran over Radio
Station XEFI, answering impor-
tant questions of Sr. Hector Lenin
Fuentes, who took it upon him
self to be a real friend and guide
to the group. Mabelle S. Perry
was interviewed over XEFI by Sr.
lIgnacio Felix Diaz, and was re-
quested to sing song when they
discovered she is a professional
vocalist. She sang Calypso Blues"
