ing for the bear contingent. And had
it not been for the telegraphers’
strike the market without doubt
would have scored an even greater
uptudn than was recorded, as shorts
and the trade in general were in no
mood to stand idle.
On the whole the market had
every appearance of being a genuine
uproaring thing, being extremely sus
ceptible to weather reports and crop
advices. Each bit of news bearing on
these two potent items was reflected
tremendously in the course of values,
and as neither were bearish —weather
being somewhat more favorable than
recently—price movements stebred
straight ahead, with occasional inter
ruption due to profit taking and
spasmodic raids by the more bold
bear crowd.
At the close of business Friday fu
tures at New York were 204 to 287
points above the closing levels of a
week ago, while the list at New Or
leans exhibited a gain of 247 to 309
points for the week.
Actual Moves Upward, Too. •
The actual moved upward with fu
tures. But not purely in a sympathet
ic feeling there being actual demand
from domestic mill buying and fresh
buying by exporters. The rise in the
raw material also was influenced by
light offerings and determination on
the part of holders to stand pat for
much better prices. Holders are said
to be financially able to carry the re
maining bales of the old crop indefi
nitely, having placed their purse in
sound shape through recent selling of
a few bales at prices better than a
three and a chipper.
While the weather map read more
favorable during the week, especial
ly for the eastern half of the belt, still
rains were frequent and indications
point to another rainy spell over the
belt, with its bio wexepected to be
dealt heaviest in the* west where the
chop is no shape for additional mois
ture. Fields throughout the belt still
are grassy and in many sections far
mers are plowing up cotton owing
to grassy conditions and scarcity of
labor and replanting the land in
corn.
The weekly weather report was no
more bearish than expected, showing
some improvement in progress in the
eastern belt, but spoke of continued
slow cultivation as the result of the
rain and low temperatures in the
western belt. All told, it was just
about a ‘standoff.”
Condition Report Low.
One of the principal factors sus
taining the market was the posting
of a private condition report of 69
per cent, which compared with the
official May report of 75.6 per cent.
Advices from Manchester stated
that the textile industry was flour
ishing with business. Domestic mills
are operating to capacity and de
mand for goods continues at top
peak.
The telegraphers’ strike served
to restrict trading at first and probab
ly prevented the putting out of many
new long lines, owing to fear of more
serious interruption of wire service,
but as the week progressed the trade
became less concerned over the wire
walk-out, believing it will soon be set
tled.
Had it not been for the telegraph
ers’ strike and downward tendency of
the security market, the marxet un- '
doubtedly would have entered new I
high territory during the week, as last I
week’s sharp decline —almost 4 cents '
•—placed the technical position of j
the market extremely strong. In addi- I
tion to this, conservatives argue that j
with the government estimating the
condition of the plant considerably
lower than on May 25, and with the i
month half gone, and weather still
unfavorable, the next government re
port will be considerably b_low that
of June 25 last year, when an im
provement was registered during that
period of 3.6 points to 85.8 per cent
wth the government estimating the
yield at 15,325,000,000 bales, ex
clusive of linters.
Week’* Fluctuations.
At the week’s high levels the mar
ket stood within sight of recent top
marks, when July (New York) rose
to 32.80 and October to 32.20, or ■
more than 3 cents a pound above
the week’s bottom quotations.

TURN BOND INTEREST
INTO SAVIES, U. S. URGES
WASHINGTON, June 14.—The
holders of bonds in the first Liberty
Loan will tomorrow receive more 1
than $36,000,000 from the Federall
government. This is the semi-annual
interest payment due to the men and
women who loaned the government

i nancial effort when the United States

which will be paid to the lenders by
the government.
The Savings Division of the Treas
ury urges every holder of the first
loan who will clip his interest coupons
' tomorrow, or who will receive his
interest check from the Treastvy if
he holds registered bonds, to reinvest
his interest money in War Savings
Stamps, the best small denomination
security ever offered the people of
1 the United States. By this means the
$36,000,000 to be paid to the first
j loan holders will at once begin to
’ draw interest again. It will draw a
higher rate than was paid on the first
Liberty loan which was issued at 3%
per cent.

RACE PROBLEM
SOLUTION SEEN
IN HAITI ISLE
NEW YORK, June 14.—The solu
tion of the negro problem in the
United States may oe round in Haiti,
the “Black Republic,” and not in
this country at all. At any rate, the
solution is much more likely to be
found in Haiti than here in the opin
ion of the Rev. Arthur R. Gray, D. ‘
D., secretary for Latin-America of
the Board of Missions of the Protes
tant Episcopal church, who has just
returned from an extended trip
through the islands in the West In
dies group and Central America.
“There is away of partial solution
of the negro problem, which is en
tirely free from theorizing and con
cerned only with facts,” said Dr. |
Gray. “It pretends to accomplish
only a certain amaunt of what ought
to be done—time with the aid of the
negro and the white man, must do
the rest.
“In Haiti may be found.the be
ginning of this partial solution” con
tinued Dr. Gray. “By concentrating
on work in that island the church
can accomplish more for the negro
than any other way.
Paradoxically, Dr. Gray finds that
the negro problem i» really the white
man’s problem.
1 The thread of his argument is this:
Is it not the black man who makes
the difficulties, but the white man.
The alarm which is felt on all sides
whenever this problem comes up for
consideration is due to the Anglo-
Saxon’s proficiency, not to say su
per-proficiency, rather than to the
black man’s deficiency. The slow
moving body is the average body and
this is a world wherein the average
body has the right of way. Our laws ,
and customs are based upon the rule |
of the average man.
The White Man's Problem.
Yet another paradox in his argu
ment: Our ancestors, to speed up
the development of the new world,
imported thousands of their slower
moving brethren from the West
coast of Africa. By the irony of
got their slow-moving
brethren to enable them to go faster.
Thus the negro problem is the white
man’s problem. Q E. D. as Euclid ;
might lucidly remark. •-
“In any effort to solve this prob
lem,” continued Dr. Gray, “we must
remember that the United States is

j a white man’s country, just as Japan
' is for the Japanese, China for the
I Chinese, Africa for the Africans.
I.There is no use in blinxing to shut
i out the fact and talking grandilo
quently about the home of the free.
We can gladly make peoples of other
colors, comfortable in this country,
“guests” of the nation, and they
need feel no loss of self-respect if
only they can have a home else
where.
“Haiti, occupying the western third
of the island of Hispanola, is a land
of inconceivable fertility. The 2,-
225,000 people who live there today
could be increased to ten million
without taxing the resources of the
soil. Given a fair chance in such a
land the negro will increase in wis
dom and be capable of self-govern
ment and make a home for the black
race in the western hemisphere.
“A good beginning has been made
in Haiti by the United States gov
ernment through the splendid lot of
Marines sent there to teach the peo
ple how to administer their finances,
preserve law and order, care for the
public health and run their own
schools. The church must now send
men and women there to help our
colored brethren find themselves.
Just what forms of activity the
church will engage in there is not
for me to say, but I earnestly hope
that it will take the form of indus
trial schools.
Would Be Worth While.
“If the nation-wide campaign up
on which the Protestant Episcopal
church is now entering—a campaign
whose purpose is the awakening of
the.church to the world wide oppor
tunity for service now before it and
getting the means to perform this
service both in men and in money
—should accomplish nothing more
than the establishing of a number of
industrial schools in Haiti, it will
have been immensely worth while
and will have hastened the coming
of the solution of the negro prob
lem. Democracy can rest easily only
, only on busy-ness. We must teach
i the Haitians government of, by and
for the people. Business and not
politics, provided business be leven
ed with the gospel of God, will re
deem Haiti. Given plenty of indus
trial schools that country will come
into its own.
“I have in mind no such impracti
caple scheme as the deportation of
the negroes. What I mean is that,
in part, the problem will be solved
if the negroes have a nation of their
; own. The Japanese in America do
not mind this being a white man’s
land, since they know there is also
a yellow man’s land—a place where
they can be at home if they wish to

without a country. If Haiti is made
a clean, strong republic, a black
man’s country, our slow-moving
brethren here will find themselves in
the x osition of the Japanese and their
situation as guests will be entirely
satisfactory to the black man and the
white man, too.”
