I I I In an address at the Wendell Phil lip s High School Wednesday night. Walter F. V te, assistant secretary of the National Vssociation for the Advancemen : Colored People, de clared that t .3 of F.urope view Americans as rbarians and look with horror am: e upon the orgy of lynching in thi country. Mr. White, who has ;ust returned to this country from Europe as a del egate to the Pan-African Congress, also told of the work of that body. Effect in Africa “A delegate from South Africa re ported at the congress that the mur der of Sou \frican colored people is becomit common thing,” Mr. White sill e was convinced that the race • ! responsible is due to lynching- e United States, to the fact that out F -deral government has taken no <h vc step- to wipe them out and to wide publicity given the lynchin orcign newspapers. "The Brit: pr, s, I was astonished to learn, is ' up' lynchings, whether fr- -crate desire to inflame th< , ‘op! Great Britain I canhot s U man after Eng lishman said . Yours must be a barbarous country and your people a barbarous people, for none but a barbarous government and a barbar ous people would permit unpunished the burin; , t the stake ot human beings, no matter what their color.’ ” j>eeKS Race neuermenr The Pan-African congress, Mr. White said, seeks to consolidate the forces working for the betterment of the colored race by the establishment of contact between world leaders to the end that '.ere may be a solution of the negro problem on economic principles. An International bureau, to be established In Paris, has been authorized, and arrangements are be ing made for a special division of the bureau of labor, league of nations to make a world inquiry into conditions surrounding colored labor, and even tually prevent its exploitation The problems of the colored race in Africa are being carefully weighed by the leaders of colored people in na tions throughout the world. Africa, Mr. White said, will soon be a bone of contention among the powers. Future wars may be fought, he thinks, for the spoils of African resources.

He finally found solace in sleep when Harris admin istered a knife wound across his fore head. He was taken to the Provident Hospital for resusitation. Our Valdosta Agent Cancels His Order The following letter, which was received from our agent, in Val dosta, Ga., speaks for itself. “Dear Sirs: I have come to the conclusion that I cannot sell your papers in this city any longer. The white people in this city used to not care if a Negro paper came here, but what is it now? All the people are afraid to be seen with a colored paper, because if a white man sees you with that paper, he will make you., leave the city. The other day I was down at the railroad station with about five copies of the WHIP in my hand, when a policeman walked up and asked me what I was doing selling those d—d nigger papers. He said 1 ought to know I couldn't sell those ‘nigger’ papers and stay in this town. If you continue to send papers here you will put me in some trouble. So please don’t send me any more papers if you want me to stay out of trouble. Letters Speak of Appreciation.
