Negro Labor for the Valley
Can the Lower Rio Grande Valley solve the labor
problem by bringing in negro laborers and colonizing
them upon segregated sections near the cities and
towns?
Raymondville is going to make the experiment
and McAllen is seriously considering a similar mov>.
Several years will elapse before the success of the plan
can be def niteljr determined.
Negro laborers like Mexican laborers require con-
siderable experience and patience on the part of em-
ployers and among Valley residents most of whom are
from Northern stat?s th«ye are probably few who
have had more experience with negroes than with
the present labor supplv. /
Under ordinary conditions the colonization of ne- j
groes in the V#ll y would prove decidedly unpopular
and it is being resorted to only as a last resort. The ;
immigration laws which have practically cut off the
labor supply from Mexico are forcing many commun- :
bias-to look to other sections for reli f from a con-
dition which h.s ser ousiy threatened the prosperity of
the entire Valley and the importation of negro labor
is apparintly the only means of assuring the supply the
Valley must have.
Until 1924 the supply of Mexi.an labor was adequate
for the Valley farmers but the movement of the big
truck crop that year followed by the Vail y's first
big cotton crop indicated that a labor supply must
be made available before the Valley could hope to de-
velop its resources more extensively. The experiences
of 1925 and this year have served to emphasize this
fact and the only alternative of Valley growers if
modification of the immigration laws cannot be se-
cured is negro labor.
In* this connection it m ght not be amiss to call
attention to the fact that the truck crop this winter
promises to be the heaviest on record to b? followed
by forage corn and cotton crops next summer which
will probably be the largest ever planted in the Val-
Labor and lots of It will be needed to handle
'these crops and if the Valley communities are not
0flf*u swd and lahov eerured. a repetition of the ex-
perianci of th3 past cotton season will probably be in
store for Valley farmers.
A Valley-wide organization to handle the labor
problem would be the most efficient and satisfactory
method of supplying the needs of the entire Valley
and there is still ample time to perfect an organizat on
of this character. However leadership is apparently
lacking and those who are in close touch with Valby
conditions are decidedly pessimist c in regard to the
ability of the Valley to perfect an organization that
would function for the entire Valby. Lacking such
an organization the only means through which rel ef
can be secured is community organizations through
which the local labor needs could be handled. This is
a matter which deserves the serious consideration of
every Valley commun ty and efforts should be made
to map out a definite program which will assure an
ample supply <ft labor to meet the local demand.
Gloomy Outlook for England
Probably no book in recent years has aroused more
editorial comment than “England" written by Will-
iam Ralph Inge dean' of St. Paul's Cathedral London
which has gained for him the sobriquet of “the gloomy
dean."
His somber pred ctions of England's future in
which he can s?e no ray of light has startled the en-
tire world and the masterly manner in which he has
set forth his conclusions substantiating them with
farts 1ms caused the better class of English citizenry
to give his writ ngs more than casual consideration*.
Social unr?st with its attendant evil—communism
—has already left its indelible mark upon English in-
dustry. This combined with the fact that England's
pos tion as “mistress of the seas" is very precarious
and that the English race is rapidly deteriorating un-
der th? influence of vice and liquor gives the "gloomy
dean" the background for a word picture full of port- I
ent of future disaster to the nation.
American people intent upon their own activ ties
have given littl-» heed to what misrht he termed “the j
revolution of British industrial and marine suprem- |
acy" following the World War. England fe*t the ef-
fects of the great struggle more than any of the Al-
ltea—not so much in a financial way as in th? effect
upon the national morale. The period of unemploy-
ment following the armistice furnished a rich soil
In which the seeds of communism were planted: the
seizure of the reins of government by the labor party
which sought the aggrand zement of labor at th? ex-
pense of capit^. was another factor in brooking down
the national morale ns were also the frequent strikes
culminating in the general strike a few months ago.
British industry is now at the lowest ebb in recent
years. British finances however are in excellent shape
due to the ultra-conservative policy of the present gov-
Btrnment and the government which preceded the lahor-
ites. But with industry crippled labor antagonistic
her coal mines nearly depleted and the nat onal mor-
ale tft the lowest point in the historv of the nation
England's future is anything hut bright.
The “gloomy dean** in hi* outline of British con-
ditions *ay*: “Her coal and 'iron are approach‘ng ex-
haustion. The English race is deteriorating as the
alums of London Liverpool and the midlands spawn
their millions of unfit while the upper and middle
classes oppressed by inordinate taxation provide fewer
children oft the fine old stock.
“British naval supremacy is at an end and with it
the instrument by which we built up and maintained
our empire. We are no longer rich enough to build
ships against all possible rivals: and the Americans
by insisting on 9ur repayment of the vast debt incurrel
for the sake of France to which w* rashly prt our
names Ijave secured that we shall remain permanently
tributary to themselves and unable to challenge them
• upon the water."

A STABILIZING INFLUENCE.
(Dallas News.)
Addressing the New York Rotary Club the other day.
Senator Capper nam’d the Western and Midwestern
farmer as the country's greatest stabilising force. In
that remark the New York World finds an echo of the
thoughtful query of the Ex-Secretary of Agriculture
who ed ts 'Wallace's Farmer “How fast shall we sacri-
fice agriculture to industry.”
It ir not says the World cither a political or an
! economic problem but a social one and our primary
concern should be “to maintain the farmer as a numer-*
ous vigorous contented element ip American life.” The
M orld see that we have come ta the end of our agri-
culfural era with the almost complete parceling out of
the publ !%omain so.that th? farmer who has seen in-
dustry fostered by a protective tariff no longer reaps
an equal profit but must sell the products of high-
priced land and high-priced labor abroad in compe-
tition with cheap land and labor.
The World does not argue that it is not economically
sound to “l?t farming slip into the hands of a dis-
couraged unenteipris ng element drain off the abler
blood into industry and supplement our home-grown j
supplies by imports." The World merely insists that
ne d a large rural population bred to the soil “loving j
it and prospering upon it. . . . Men till our six mil-
lion farms with the taste and stamina for hard pat ent !
labor with modest equally distributed rewards.”
The World walks in a lane worn by Oliver Gold-
smith. who a hundred and fifty years ago mourned that
a bold peasantry once destroyed can never be supplied.
Rural England failed as industrial England arose to
justify the port’s jeremiad. It has been a large and al-
most universal experience in growing countr es. But j
if the World wax s lyrical over the possibility of de-
generation in our agricultural strain it is not alto-
gether a social problem.
The economic aspect of draining the rugged char-
acter of farm 1 fe ?o swell the ranks of industry lie-
cause of th’ financial lure are evident. What is
haprending on the American farm would inevitably hap-
pen in countries like Canada and Argentina upon
wh%h we would depend for the augmenting of home-
grown sup; 1 es if tariff walls wer*? erected to encourage
industry there as they will be f American restriction
is extended. In u her chords. it is not an American
problem hut a world one. .The interests of the farmer
ere political so far as political chicanery limits the
ratural rivalry of the husbandman wita industry. They
are eronomic so l^ng as he must compete with the b g-
get; profits of industry in an occupation that pays lit-
tle in r’turn for much labor. It is social only at> far
ns politics and economics make it so.
The American farmer has no apparent intention at
this moment of surrendering h s birthright. The agri-
cultural interests of that section Senator Capper quit’
rptly calls the country's greatest^atabiliiing force have
already spoken not only fo the point but at considerable
length on the requirements of the American farmer
especially as concerns industry. And if the Republi-
can party whose tariff policy from 186*. to the present
has been largely responsible for the growth of industry
and the decline of agriculture does not find a solution
the farmer will be finding another party.
TIMELY VIEWS
FRANCE ENTITLED TO BE EMBITTERED BY U. S.
. DEBT TERMS
By SIR ALFRED MONO.
British Industrialist «in an Interview in New York
I can readily understand the French feelinp of res- ^
entment of the trems of the U. S. debt settlement.
W ith Great Britian the American war loans were re-
parded purely in a business aspect but this was not
the case with France.
In the ta>e of France I have always felt that spec*
ial consideration should be shown. S me the war
France has spent approximately 3.000.000.000 pounds in
restorinp her devastated repions. And we must remem-
ber that approximate! one-third of her industrial rep-
ion had bene put out of commission. Suppose some
one should po over to Scranton and smash your mines
anj wreck your mills; suppose too th it^'ew York
f'ity were to be demol shed your preat industries de-
moralized and you were asked to pay your debts when
you Jiad nothinp to pay them with.

CAPT. DENNY CAMPBELL
The coveted Herbert Schiff Memorial Trophy for
U. S. Naval Aviation is to be awarded this year to
Capt. H. Denny Campbell of the Marine Corps. The
trophy a unique annual award is piven to the naval
aviator who compiles during the
year ended June 30 the highest
number of flying hours without
serious accident to personnel or
material.
Captain Campbell has made an
enviable record in the service of his
country. He entered the Marine
Corps in April 1917 before war
was declared and was one of ft»e
I first detatchment of marines to
sot foot on French soil. He se-v.
od with the I’ 4
v sion in the trenches at Belleau
Wood. Chateau-Thierry Blanc r{ t
I Mont and was wounded shortly be-
fore the armistice.
Later he served with the American Army of Occupa-
tion in Germany. During part of the offensive he had )
been in command of a machin? gun company and was
! an outpost commander while serving in Germany. On
I his return to this country he was stationed at Pensacola
j Fla. first as a student and later ns an nstructor. He
served in 1923 in Haiti and the year following in Santo j
! Domingo being stationed for the last two years at
I San Diego. Ca.. He served as operations parachute and
• aerological officer and organized the air mail service
! to and from Santa Barbara at the t me of the earth-
quake in July 1925. He reached the scene of the dis-
aster within a few hours and made daily flights for
three weeks.
In August last year he made a trans-continental j
flight from San Diego to Pensacola flying a de Havi- J
land and a month later flew hack in a Martin bomber.
Other cross-country flights followed on one of which!
Captain Campbell alighted Without damage under d f-
ficult circumstances when forced down with a split
cylinder. In December he was officially commended by
Secretary Wilbur for machine gum marksmanship mak-
ing ninety-three hits out of a# possible 100 in n ne
seconds while traveling at ninety miles an hour. In May
of this year he made a perfect score in practice drop-
ping four homhs from a height of 3000 feet.
Captain Campbell in hfs five years of nstructing it
is said has never failed to qualify a student and has
never lost a single pilot whom he has taught to fly.
