When two different things, powers, forces or tendencies are combined, the resultant is different from both components. If the two differing things will lie between the two,—of a higher degree than the one and of a lower de gree than the other. There is far more color prejudice and race prejudice in Anglo-Saxon America than there is in Latin America. If the two are brought closer to gether in sentiment and intercommunication, especially in trade, Latin Amer ica will have more race prejudice and the United States may have less. The more powerful and influential component will naturally figure most in the resultant composition; the United States is richer, bigger in population and more pronounced in its anti-Negro feeling than Latin America is in its feeling of inter-racial brotherhood. Beyond a doubt, therefore, the United States will do more to prejudice and degrade Latin America, so far as darker people are concerned, than Latin America can ever do to redeem the United States. This is not pure theory; it has been demonstrated in Porto Rico, C uba and others of the West Indies, wherever Yankee influence has gained the as cendancy. But the question might have been put differently: What influence will the color question have on the proposed Pan-American “get together”? This is what should interest the American statesman. It is my belief that race prejudice in the United States will delay the progress of real union with the people of the southern republics. Political treaties and diplomatic speeches are not all-powerful over sentiment. The colored people are influential in many of the Latin Republics, and they will fear American race prejudice, the nearer they get to it and the more they learn of it.—One of the chief reasons why the Germans had the trade of South America is that the people of South America were “mongrels” or “dagoes” to the Yankees, while to the German traders they were just CUSTOMERS. Can our Anglo-Saxon brethren be self-controlled and fore-sighted enough to force race prejudice into the background? Imagine Blease and Vardaman fraternizing with the colored leaders of Columbia or Brazil for the sake of commerce, for the sake of military advantage, or for the sake of any other decent thing under the sun! If this Pan- American program is pushed, it will certainly make the color question more of an international question. It will therefore hasten the crisis, —which must always come if tendencies continue to grow. Such an event would tend to unite all the darker peoples of the Western World. In any event the Negro in the United States, being the most important colored element and being the man farthest down politically, has nothing to lose in Pan-Amer icanism. WILLIAM PICKENS, Morgan College, Baltimore. Bound to Have Good Effedt. My Dear Sir: The rapprochement between this nation and the South American Repub lics is hound to have some good el feet in stopping the growth of color preju dice. Indian and Negro blood is so widely distributed in South America that there is practically no color line. Any nation, therefore, which proposes to treat South American people like civilized human beings will be compelled to treat colored citizens in these countries in the same way. Very sincerely yours, W. E. B. DuBOIS. THERE’S A REASON. “Young man,” said the magistrate severely, “the assault you have com mitted on your poor wife was most brutal. Do you know of any reason why I should not send you to prison?” “If you do, your Honor,” replied the prisoner at the bar, hopefully, “it will break up our honeymoon.” BERG SUITS ME fflgMffilSISMKfKWwirwlKllJMiJitKI is ig 1000 I (Overcoats!
