HUN FOOD SITUATION.
The German deficit in food, the
difference between the amount pro
duced in Germany and Germany's
norma! needs, amounts to 3,600,00tf
tons of wheat, one million tons of
meat and one million tons of fats,
says a* statement issued by the im
perial food ministry.
Immediate payment for these nec-,
essarv foodstuffs with inland re-j
sources is unthinkable, the ministry:
asserts. Only long term credits canj
help and the acceptance of such j
credits is only possible if Germany |
works, for only then can the cred-!
itors have confidence in the paying;
ability of Germany. j
Immediate decisive effect of the j
removal of the blockade on the
German food market is not expect- \
ed by the ministry, but rather a j
long slow continuation of improve-j
ment, which already makes itself;
felt. It declares that control of j
exports must remain until the av- j
erage between imports and exports j
has been established
Germany must make up its mind
to do without coffee very largely,
in the future, says the imperial
commissioner for colonial goods.
Authorities say Germany must
sharply restrict her imports of choc
olate, because of the low' value of
the mark, and must try to rely on
her own chocolate, the first produc
tion of which is expected soon.
COLORED WORKERS WANTED.
Plenty of farm and mill work,
better wages than ever before paid,
and improved living conditions await
Southern negroes who have gone to ,
the North and who now are said
to be clamoring to return to the
South, according to Memphis em
ployers.
Southern farmers and plantation'
owners want the Southern negroes
back. If there were some method
of getting in touch with them, it is
declared, the expense of their re
turn to Dixie would be willingly
borne. But these employers say
they do not want Northern-bom and
reared negroes. They would prefer
to bring in foreign labor, the? as
sert.
“We would not hesitate to pay
the expenses of a hundred or more
negroes from Chicago or other
Northern cities to our place if we
can get Southern negroes, particu
larly negroes who have gone from
Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennes
see,” said A. C. Lange, vice-presi
dent and genera! manager of the
Chicago Mill & Lumber company,
which owns more than 70,000 acres
of timber and agricultural lands in
Northeastern .Arkansas, “I think it
is safe to say that every Southern
negro in the North would be
brought back without expense to
him if Southern farmers and plan
tation owners knew where and how
to get in touch with the Southern
born. We don’t want and will not
have Northern negroes.”
The question of how to get in
touch with negroes who have gone
North was discussed at the Mem
phis meeting of the Southern Allu
vial Land association, and the sub
ject will be a special order of busi
ness at the aext meeting. The as
Isociation is an organization of bank
j ers, land owners, chambers of com
merce, planters and lumbermen of
the lower Mississippi valley, formed
to serve, in a measure, the same
purposes for the delta country as
, the chamber of commerce serves
the town or city. At the last
meeting it was said that there is
great need for more labor in the
lower Mississippi valley, and espe
cially for negro labor acquainted
with Southern agricultural methods
and with cotton growing and hand
ling.
JAPS AMERICANIZING.
Reforms in the Japanese lan
guage school system, of Hawaii
were decided upon at Honolulu
recently, at a confernece of 45
teachers. The Japanese educators
plan to Americanize the schools and
to stress the work of inculcuating
American ideals n their pupils while
retaining the privilege of studying
their language and culture.
The establishment of a normal
school for Japanese teachers, with
at least part of the staff to be
composed of Americans, is to be1
taken up immediately. It was unani
mously determined that more atten
tion must be paid in the Japanese
schools to the teaching of American
history, ideals and customs and the
English language.
The issue was clearly presented
to the teachers by R. Moroi, Jap
anese consul-general, who declared
that if the Japanese are to retain
their privilege of teaching the Jap
anese language, they will have to do
it in such a way as to satisfy
Americans in Hawaii. He said the
Japanese schools could be so main
tained that there would be no fear
l
of disloyalty to the United States,
and that the schools must be so
conducted.
In the last territorial legislature
.two measures were introduced for
the regulation of foreign language
schools in Hawaii. Both bills were
killed. The Japanese claimed their
enactment would force them to close
I their schools and promised, if given
.time, to work out a system that
would meet all objections.
BRITAIN MUST KEEP
TRADE ROUTES OPEN,
SAYS NAVAL MINISTER
| SYDNEY, Australia.—“It would
! be crass stupidity on the pan of
'the British people to relinquish any
! sea power they possess,’’ recently
| declared Acting Naval Minister
Poynton. “Situated as Britain is
with al the trade routes converging
'on one point—London—it is abso
lutely necessary that she should
ihave sufficient ships in her fleet to
keep those trade routes open.”

UPTON IS BUSY
ARRANGING FOR
RACENEXT YEAR
LONDON.—Since his return to
i London from America. Sir Thomas
: Lipton has set about the task of
completing his arrangements for
(next year’s contest for the Ameri
jca’s cup in earnest. The most im
portant decision so far arrived at,
said recently, is to send the 23
metter Shamrock to America early
Inext year to act as a trial boat in
the tuning-up spins of the chal
lenger, Shamrock IV. Asked who
would have charge of the British
boat, Sir Thomas replied: “W. P.
'Burton has consented to sail the
i
j challenger in the race for the Am
erica’s cup, and also take charge of
:the 23-metre Shamrock.
, “Naturally, he will have his own
professional skipper,” Sir Thomas
| added. “Mr. Burton will also be
■ responsible fjfr engaging the crews
I of both boats, and, in fact, he will
jbe in entire charge of the whole of
;the trials and the actual races on
(the other side. Charles E. Xichol
json, her designer, is going over at
ian early date for the purpose of
' thoroughly examining the Shamrock
TV.”
“Do you think any alterations
|are likely to be made in her?” Sir
'Thomas was asked.
“That is a matter which I am
leaving entirely to Mr. Nicholson’s
|judgment. Many experienced yachts
men are of the opinion that Sham
rock IV is far and away the best
boat I have ever had to represent
I
me in this great contest.”
“If you lose this time, will you
challenge again?”
“I have the greatest hopes that
I shall be successful in this, my
fourth attempt to bring back the
cup, but if I am not successful, I
can only say that I shall give Mr.
Nicholson-an order to build another
boat.”
