a SUNDAY Dakland Cribune NOVEMBER 14, 1926 ACTIVITIES. AMONG NEGROES BY Delilah Beasley Among the organizations that? are making for a better understanding between the races is the Federal Council of Churches. There was held Thursday, November 4, at the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, an inter -racial meeting under the auspices of the State Department of Welfare. One of the principal speakers was George E. Haynes, secretary of the Commission on the Church and Race Relation, Federal Council of Churches.

He said in part; Negro in America is combining the Oriental non-militant attitude of the East with the positive aggressiveness of the West in a remarkable manner. He readily embraces therefore the vision of Christian brotherhood that came out of Palestine. "In practical inter-racial cooperation, however, it does not take the form of non-cooleration as does Brahminism in its expression through a great soul like Ghandi. His attitude is non-cooperation in modern industry and agriculture. content in his attitude says: "The Negro puts then positive 'He will cooperate on 'a brotherly basis of equal Ghandi of the East will not participate in the government under the British law.

The Negro of the West says: an American citizen and as such will cooperate to get a larger measure of justice and fair in Ghandi takes on the practice the courts, under the the the American of poverty as a protest against the unethical standards that are Touring in upon him. The Negro seeks through his great church organizations the way of life laid out by Jesus Christ as a means of raising the ethical standards of his time and country. The Negro challenges America to inter-racial peace and brotherly fellowship based upon positive justice and good will." The International Institute is another avenue through which a better racial understanding is being developed through the International Institute directing students from foreign lands in their study of American schools. It is likewise engaged in making a foreign educational survey and in acquainting the American student with foreign developments in the feld of education. Recently a group of sixty foreign educators from all parts of the world visited Hampton Institute in Virginia.

This group of educators was under the direction of Dr. M. C. Del Manzo, a member of the staff of the International Institute of Teacher's college, Columbia Unt versity, New York City. They represented twenty-five different countries.

There was included in the group eight foreign Ministers of Education representing Bulgaria, Czechoslavakia, Germany, Srain, Poland, Hungary, Haiti and India. The students at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, were recently addressed by Dr. C. T. Lorman of the Native Affairs Commission of the Union of South Africa.

He declared in his address that the African is the root and the American the flower of the race. "There are, however," he stated, "many elements of similarity although separated by a vast gulf; you have the same joys, the same loyalty, the same wit, and humor, that characterize the African. The evidence of kinship are deep." When asked for an expression in regard to the Color Bar Act, he said that he did not believe it would endure. This act grants to the ministers of mines and industries the privileges of reserving certain trades for whites only. MEN.

MUTILATED IN WAR, AID PEACE Victims of Shot and Shell Unite To Oppose Future Battles. By HENRY. WOOD. United Press Staff Correspondent. GENEVA, Nov.

million war mutilated men from dozen European countries have decided that hereafter they will play a leading and role In the efforts of the League of Nations to maintain world peace. The initiative for this new move. ment was taken by Monsieur Rene Cassin, professor of law at the University of Lyon. and honorary president of the French Union of Mutilated and former Combatants. For several Fears past, Cassin has been an official member of the French delegation to the League of Nations, representing the French organizations of war mutilated and ex The position has given him the firm conviction that the only way in which the men who bore the brunt of the last great war can actively cooperate for the maintenance of peace is through official collaboration in the League of Nations.

a result he has just secured the adoption by the second international conference of war mutiliated representing over three million members, 21 different national organizations and 11 different countries. of a resolution unwhich the national organizations of war mutilated in each country will demand that one of their members be placed on the official delegation of the country to each league assembly. In this matter it is expected that the soldiers that fought during the last war will be in an official position to lend the weight of all their influence toward the maintenance of peace. The delegates that are thus placed on the league delegations will advocate especially a policy of the international respect of treaties and the settlement of all, international disputs by obligatory arbitration. The international conference of mutilated has also demanded the setting aside the Sunday before the opening each league assemof bly as an international peace holiday.

BY LEO. A. McCLATCHY. WASHINGTON, Nov. farmers are "good pay" from a credit standpoint, a.id rank higher in this regard than do the farmers of any other state, accordIng to Willard D.

Ellis, president of the Federal Land Bank at Berkeley. He is attending a the Farm Loan Board here this week with presidents of the various federal land banks. The reputation of California farmers for meetins. their financlal-obligations is revealed In statistics of the various land banks, showing that the Berkeley institution has been obliged to take over fewer farms to cover loans that have been advanced. During the present year.

the land bank at Berkeley, which has jurisdiction for California. Nevada. Arizona, and $5.000.000 Utah, and has $6.090.000 advanced in loans on new business. Twothirds of this money has to California. There has enfone increase, over last year, amount that has been tothea'he Nevada, due to a new ruling of the board which permits loans 011 ranches and livestock, where previously only growing and warehouse receipts were regurded good security.

DEMAND DECREASES. Demand for loans from the Berkeley bank is not as heavy as during former years, Ellis said. both because additional private concerns have entered the field. and because. farming has not been sufficiently profitable during the past several years to attract outside investment.

Agricultural conditions generally in California were described by Ellis as "not bad." "I would say that the raisin business in the San Joaquin is on better basis now than it has for several years," he said. "They have a cleaned up all of last year's crop, something that hasn't happened for years. We have a particular the raisin business becaterest several years ago when things were not going so well, stuck with them and loaned them more money. The result is we have never owned a vineyard, and that can not be said of the private banks. RICE CROP GOOD.

"Rice is going to be good this year, not only California, but all over. The yield is going to be bigger. but the market just now is low. We are going to loan additional money to the rice growers." The plight of the cotten growers in the south, Ellis said, is not being shared by those in. the San Joaquin.

"Our cotton people have nothing to complain about," he said. "There is a good crop, but. naturally the growers will receive less than they did last year. They get a premium on their cotton because of the better variety, but the crop there any figure in the national situation." Asked about requests from Hawaii that the Berkeley bank establish a branch in Honolulu, Ellis said there is not sufficient business there to warrant a branch. The land holdings in Hawaii, he said, a.
