It was
not very
many days
ago my
at-
tention
was gdlled
to an
editoral in
the
New
York American commenting
on
the
fact
that
a very dark
colored
lady had
been
made
to sit
on
one of the rear seats
of
a church of their owne race,
while
all
the
light colored
mulate®
were
given
front seats.
e
In the Virgin Islands
there
is
an effort
on
the part
of the
Government
to
deal
with the natives
indiscriminately.
The question
of color
is
raised
by the
natives
themselves.
[ plead
with the
newspapers
to
refuse
any
further
discussion
on
this
matter,
and
use
your columns
to
an end
that will
mean
true
‘‘Americadism’’
and- ‘'Love
of Country.”’

London, Sept.23rd.—The
Government’s
hints
of an
early general election
on
the
Irish
question
have
been
promptly
an-
swered
by
a labour
manifesto
on
unem-
ployment,
whic
is
the
principal
issue
labour
wished
to
keep
before
the
coun-
try.
The
labour
mayors
wh>y
went
to
Gailloch told the
Premier
th :t they
werve
sitting
on
a
volecano,
and
that further
burdens
on
the
local
authorities
would
mean
a° breakdown
in the machinery
of
loeal
Govt.
The2ir
warning is emphasiz-
od by
the
decision
of the
Bethnal
Green
Sorough
Council
to
follow
the example
of
poplar
and
refuse
to
levy
London
¢runty
to council
rates
far
police,
water
and asylums.
The
loss
falls
on
the
coun-
ty council,
which
has
its
own
difficul-
ties,
and
these
are
not
improved
by
imprisoning
Rorough
Councillors.
The
labour
manifesto
on
vunemployment
is
an
important
document.
Its
proposals
are first,
that,
the
Govt.
should
antici-
pate its
own future
wants
and place.
or-
ders
now,
to lessen
the
present
depres-
sion.
Second,
that,
the
Govt.
should
place
orders
for
goods,lor
example
to
foreign purchasers
who
cannot
get
oth-
er
credit
at present,
but
who
can
pav
ultimately.
It
is
also
urged
that
the
Govt
might
supply
some
goods,
like
agricultural machinery,
to British
users,
like farmers,
on
easy
purchase
terms.
The proposal
is, that
the
Govt.
should
prepare
a list of
necessary
publie works,
nati: nal and
local.
giving
precedence
to
those
nroviding
the
maximum
employ-
ment
and
that
loecal
authorities
should
receive
Govt
subsidies,
enabling
them
to undertake
work.
The
fourth
propo-
sal
is to provide
maintenance
for those
who eannot
get empioyment.
