Barr, P resident of The Inter-racial Council HEN a business man commence.! to talk about his di fficul ties in keel?ing the wheels of ind uslry turn ing. t he~ IS o~ thing he i ~ su~ to sa)'. He may have $Orne remark s to make about the difficulty of figuring his income lax or the problem o f foreign markets. or Iroul.>l" in gett ing raw mate rials. but he is certai n to'make 50me commenllike this. "I don't seem to be able 10 get the right sort of help any more. It·s hard enough to keep thc worke rs I' ve got, and still harder to get any new hands that a re worTh Ihti r salt." It i ~ the 5ilme stOTY in "\'try line o f busi ness. When you speak TO a manufacturer "bout labor $llorlage he throws up his hands. When you Talk 10 a farmer about it he almost sheds tears. The em]llo~'ers try to case mauc~ for their own busi~sse,. by w.klll!: away one ot her's help. bUI of course that is a policy which gets us now here. It sillll)ly rai5e$ wages all around, boosts pr ices and makes for general unrest and discontenT. HE fact il; we are lip against a "ery serious labor shortage in :\'orlh AmerIca. It h.u been u timaled that Ihe market is four o r fi"e million s sho rt . d ue 10 lhe laci thai sinC<' Ihe outbreak of the lI'af immigration dropt away below prewa r fit:Ures and has nOI el'en bet:Un to con~ back to normal. This serious indust rial situation is one of the problems which T he In ter-racial Coundl is au empl ing to w ive in a const ru cti"e and farsighted manne r. It is logical That The Inter-racial CoulI~il should lackle thi s matter because il ,Jeab with lhe fore ign·born and their life in a ntw country. We believe that lhe liabor shortage would be eased by more enlighlened policies in regard TO Ihe indi"idual foreign·bom 1I'0rker. One reason why the immiernn t is going hack in ~uch large numbers is that in a great many ClI!ieS the new COI",f elid not get a square dea l in America. We have .<tud ied that quut ion in consul taT ion with The various racial l~ders here an d h ~ve ~onle TO a I)re ny correct conclusion as to what constitules a square deal for the immigrant and how we can go about il 10 make hint contented here 50 that he ....'iIl not be tempted to JIII ck his g rip a nd 113.11 away for Ihe "Old Country."' carrying hi s savings wilh him. T W ITHOIJT doubt one o f the principal reasor!.' why intmigrnn t ~ ~re not coming in larg1'! numbe rs is that we make iT IIl11tc<:e5sarily diflkult for them to get here. At the preliCTlt rate of exchange, The head tax. passport vise and Irn"c1ing expenses amount to the pr ice of a small fa rm in some o{ the O ld World cou ntries. T hen, to thi s financial burden we add tl~ encumbrance of a literacy test which bars a man who m;ly be a STrong. industrious and willing worker; bllt who is refused admi ssion to America merely because he cannOT read. The Inter· racial Council is therefore attent pii ng 10 secu~ fair treatment of the fo~ign·bom who are already here and rea.$On;lble ~hanges in the immigra tion THE ROTAR IAN laws which will attract 1II0re 01 Ihe Ucsirable clement to ou r shores. and safegua rd the indh'idual a lien until he is employed and able to take ca re of himself. T HE Inte r·racial Council is one of Ihe most const ruct;"e organiza lions in Ame rica·. It was organized ill }lar~h . 1919, by a group o f men and women wh o a rc 3C1:1IS10Illed 10 do big thillgs in an efficiel1! mann er. The...: lleOI)le include the he:l.ds o f some of the larges t corJ;>Oralions il\ Ihe world, both financial and indu strial illstilutlons t..., ing represen ted. In addi tion to these America ns, with Ihcir inili ati,"e and cxccmivc abilit)" th ere is a grou p of leader~ of Ihe foreil.'1l· bom dements 11\ the United Sl a!e~ who know what the immigrant think s and can tell us what he needs. I nd i"iduals who ha,"e made II 5tudy o f Ihe immignnt problem for years. who ha'~ indeed made it their li f~ work, a re also included in the Council ;lnd Ihe result is that for the fi rst time in hislOfY the immigra tion problem is lleillg stud ied scient ifically by th ree groups who are particubrly imerested in finding lhe right $Dhnion; Ihe imn.irran t himself thm his leaders, the employer o f labor who use. his IIen ·icc. and Ihe e"pe rl who has :t. oieien lific and humaniTari.tn inte"",1 in the mailer. XE o f Ihe most imporlant things TIle Inter,racial Council has 10 do is 10 d ispel the pre jud i~e in the minds of ntany "\ mericans against the foreign·born, TItis is reflected in lhe contemptuous way in ...·hich they are referred to as "bu nkie5," or "wops" or "polacks," and in the habitual altiluUc of supe riority which many of the nalil'ebo rn adopt before The immilj:rant , We a re trying 10 do away with this prejudice by tellmR our people aga in and again a nd in as ma ny ways as possible just what the foreign.bom lI~aQS to America. how he has broucht his :lrts and culture. how he has built our railroads. dllg our ditches and cultivated our fa rms ; how he hns suppo rT ed our Libcrl\' Loo ns, fought our ha ttles and shed hIS blood in our dd~n se. O T this time when the words " foreigne r" and "Red" are synonymous in the mind s of many olhcrwise intclligent ]J«Iple. The work of diSllelling prejudice is tre· mendously important. II we are ever to be a faClor ill world affairs. doing inte rnationa l bll si llcss and having SooIn clhing TO say in worlll politic~. we must rei rid of the prejlldice against foreigners,:IS such. which is the mark o f a provi ncial mind. A Q U ITE as important as Ihe work of getting the ,-'l mer!· can to underSI:l.nd the foreign.born. is Ihe ~ucntion of tbe immigran t in wha t America really !t;lnds for . ;\Iany immigrants, who are industrious and thrifty and in e\'ery ~spect worth while. have rather a poor opinion of A H~rica and are anxious to IUI'e it.

The Inter-r.lcial Cou ncil is at pres<:nt helpillg 10 circulate information a oout America, its Constitution and its institutions in a series o f adve rti se!!>ents in fONlign lnnguage papers. It is believed that whell the foreign.born knows what his cons\iIUlion.,1 right s arc, he will be able to protect himself, and that when he realizes that ollr COn5till1t ion guarantees a government by the people, he will not be in a hurry to cast it aside for some new experiment in governmen t.

F O IT i~ part 01 the policy of The Inter·radal Council to rcs i5t 1\11 attcmpts to eliminate the foreign language press. The ~me people who think of every fo reigner as a "Ret!" also think o f every foreign language paper as a Msedi tious sheet." Now as a matter o f fa ct only about one percent of the foreign language: publications in America are radical 3nd thi s is a small er pe rcwtage tha n is ' found among our o wn press. On the otller hand the loyalty of these Amcrian p~pers publisht in foreign languages was splentlidly represen ted during the war when they help! stimulate enl istment , explained the d raft laws and other war measures to their readers a nd furth('TCd the Wa r Loans.

S HAT the fo rei~ lauguage pre5~ need s is closer con· tact with Amencall a!Tairs and American business in order to add to it! u$Cfulne ~, to Ihe n"tion. The Inlerracial Council is devclopillg this contac t in ,'ar;ou$ ways. \Ve U$(: this p rus as a medium fo r di sp13)' ad vertising to counteract Ilolshevist luehinljs and to explain what America st" nd~ for.

I ncidently such advertising opens a new and extremely valuable m:'lrket for the American Iltanufacturer. Thevaluc of friendly relations between the America n busineu man and the foreign language press cannot be over·estimated. It is " most e ffecti ve instrument for dcveloping respect and liking (or Amerk an institutions among lhe foreign banI.

The nlCmbership of the racial organ iutions in the Un ited St"tes runs into m"ny thous:mds and next to the foreign lanJ!uage press the}' are probably the 1lI0st imporl3nt channel of communication bel\I'een Americ~l\~ and the foreign born.

As the main point o f C011latt between Americans anti the immigrant is in our great intlustrial pla nts whcre hundred s o f thou sands of foreigll born worken are employed, a most i m~rlallt part o( o ur service is to make analyses of Ihe ractal relations ill Ihe plantt and to suggest to the employers the lleedS o f the foreign born and how the)" can be met th ru thc organiza tion of plant activ o ities.

O immig rat ion probl~m begins. not at Em. h lan<t: but on the other side of the water. we a re trying to 5CCUre a ~\'ision of the immigration laws Ihat will weed out the unfit 3nd a dmi t the desirable. T h is \\'3~ one of thc subjects d iK lIst at the Kat ional Conference on Imtllig'atioll called in New York April 1920 hy The In tc r·u da l Council. In th e Memo rial and Rcsolut ions past at this conference. A Page 118 s ou r ~p! ember. 1920. Vol. XVII. No.3 • are other constructive ideas which we hope will be acted upon by Congress. Th e most illlJ?:Ortant measure is the proposed Federal Bureau of Assimilation, under which all CoI'ernment dealings with the immig rant would be co-ordi!lated. At present !lOme of the bureaux arc working at cross purpo!oCs. lind the proposed iloard of Assimilation would avoid this difficulty besides providinr adequate protection {or the new-comer. It is al so proposed to direct the immigrant to that p;:Irt o f the country where there is demand for the work he is fined to do best, also to gil'e him opportunities for education in our language and customs. A copy of the Memorial and Resolutions will be sent without charge 10 anyone who is inten:sted in the details of this proj«t. T H E practical nature of this coo ference is indiC:l.ted l>y the fact thai it was COI1l~ of serious thinkus on immigration, such as leaders of the racial organizations, employers of fon:ign born labor, both industri al and agricultural, and a group of men of affairs who arc of inle rnational imrrtance. All concurred in the thought thllt the stability 0 American business and industries depends largely upon ou r judicious handling of the immigra tion problem. HE fact that we will have more production and ~reater prosperity if we all pull tOl:'ether, instead of wa st mg our energy in racial prejudIces and autagonisms is important, but fa r mo re important is the rnoti"e back of ou r effort. By bringing the ,'arious races in America into sympathetic contact with one anothe r we hope to makc all ICC and \'alue the good qu alities of the othen. T he immigr:mt brings us not only his strength, his industry and his thrift; bUI he brings us many cultural gif~ that we have only to know to appreciate. The Amcricaniution which wc endeavor 10 promote is not the sort which would cast into one mould all the r.lCCS which have found a rtstinc place in this country, Our conccption of Americani$lll means to retain the fine qualities of each race gathe red here from every part of the globe and devotc them to the service of our country, in peace as in wa r, Rotarians will need no furthe r explanation of Ihe broad prindples of mutual help, sympathy and brot herhood, which we a n: endeavori ng to promote amOllg the many diverse races tlta t constitute the American people. _Th, 1..1,~-r(ICiol COllll~iI of :t"'idl WiUilim H.

The Craze for Co-Operation By Chula C. Sherlock went to Minnesota to in vestiga te co-operative organi zations in that , I wen t with an open mind. The pr('judice T had was fal'o rablc to idea, if' could madc to work. I 10 i the reason . that are most plenrefer to farmers' co-op• concerns. Surely I would find, in things are com mon , all the pros be mu stered on the s ubject. Business men had told me : "00 not be too enth usiastic. The co-opera tive idea is finc as a theory; but in actual practice it has the habit of blowing up with a loud bang when yo u least expec t it. It isn't the fault of the idea; but the fault of the shan:holders themselves. They seldom. if el'er, gel the ri~ ht kind of managers. Inexperienced men in the buslIless they an: trying to conduct are usually placed in charge, sometimes a shareholder ; then the thing si nks to an inevitable death." HIS is all too true. The bleacht bones of co-operali,'e en terpri$C$ arc strewn all over the mercantile ~nd 5. There is ha'rdly a fa rming o r small town community in the Middle \Vest t ha t does not have a local skelelon or two: but I did not go to Minnesota particularly to hunt for corpses, I we nt to hunt for successes. I found that there arc at the rrese nt time more than 180) co-operati ve ven tures of al kinds in Minne5Ota, the share holders of which 3re mostly fa rmers. T here are over 500 co-ope ra tive live-stoc k shirPing associati ons alone, and more thall 75 per cen t 0 all Minnesota live stoc k sent to markct las t rear was handlcd by these local concerns. The Hu tchInson association, which ;5 Ihe largest in the Statc, handled $lOO,OCIO worth of li\'e s tock last . the Glencoe 3.Ssodation handles worth of live stock every week from $6,0CX) 10 the year Litchfield association. which is the pio neer in the State , has SCO members and it ship t worth of Ih'e s toc k last year. T )IAN in elos.c touch with the si tuation says; ...... 5 a result of these co-operat;"e efforts the local stoc k buyer. as :I spedcs. h:u become praetically extinc t. tn a remarkably I~rge numbe r of ,"s\ances these farmer A TH E ROTA R IAN , ~,----- organiza tions have hired thc loc al buyer as their manager and in the majority of instanccs the arrangement has been sa tidactory. The s tory of one local is the story of them all. T hcre is nothin~ roman tic or sensational about their business operatIons. T hey simpl y return to the farmer the highest ponible price for his produc t, a condition which, when honcstly administered, is alwa)'$ satisfactory to the average producer," If one will lake the trouble 10 ,trike an average betwee n the usual amou nt of business done by thelle eoncerns, which is around $SCO,OCX) annually-al least so far as I am able to determine ill the many illsla ncc. where loc:al managers were interviewed-and multiply it by the number o( associations in the States, a graphic idea of the \'ol un>e of business done in one line alone is obtained. U T live stock shipping associations are no t the only .,ctivity in which the farmers have interested themB setvcs. T hey operate banks. grocery sto rcs, creamerics, produce companies. flour mills. packing plants, jobbing concerns, dry goods stores. hardware and implement stores, lumber ya rd s,-in f:l ct there is not a single form of legi timate business activi ty in which they ha\'e nOI put the co-operative idea to work. LENCOE, Minneso ta , is hailed fa r and wide as the most successful cen ter of co-operative cn terprise. I had the plc asu re of I'isiting Glcncoc last winter.

Christe ndom Is still In t he minority and brutality reig ns among uncounted hundreds at millions. The hig he r the Ideal, the more lllflicult It III to make lIIeli strive tor it. Man ha.s not evolved t ra m a n ape; the ever pre5Cnt danger Is t hat he ma y devolve into a ile. N of His own handiwork on Earth and thr uou t the Heave ns Is proof enough of that. Hell Is tull ot pessimists ; laughter is a gift of God. • • • Citizenship Traini1lg MERICANS admit they a re the most lawless of any elvlIized people in the world. Per million of population the Uni ted States has ten tim~ as many murders as Switzerl and. The Swiss Republic has a military training system for its citizens. J udges, lawyers, prison wardens and other authorities agl ee that universa l t raining in the United Sta t~ would reduce crime at least fifty per cent. The United S tates is going to adopt a tra ining system but in characteristic American style it is goin&, to be the finest and best training system in the world. Militar)' t ralninll' will be only II part of the course. The basic t r aining will be in understanding and re~pe<:tlng the laws of the country together with a practical demonstration of the duties and obligations of citize nshi p. For those that want them there will be courses in agriculture, industrial chemistry, engineerillg, construction, etc., so that every lad shall have the opportun ity to get fundamental information at least, regardina the vocatio n to which he may be attracted. The graduates of Universal Training will be better citizens, better able to produce for the common wealth, and better able to protect the commonwealth.

Rotary is j ust aM mueh op p<»sed to ty ranny by the pr oletar iat all It Is to tyranny by au autocrat. H believes In co-o peration, not coercion. It inculcates a comradeship amana men which is based on the loving kind ness of Christ; not on the mob hatred that crueifled Him. Rotary believes that the ills of the wor ld eannot be cured entinly by economie nforms; because Rotary recoanizes t he IIpi r itual quality in men and na lizes that their true equality may be on ly found thr u it. There an a lways fadd ists who run after any new thing, good or bad. These people would have us believe that time can change the eter nal verities. They do not seem to realize t hat two and two will make four o nll thousand yean from now jusl &.II surely as they did a thousand yean ago. The truth does not chanae an d th e truth is that a man is entitl ed t o the fru its of the labor of his hand or mind.

We wan t steady arowth in Rotary. We want to &'Il t the new members in. but not so rapidl y but that we may assimilate them properly. Some clubs decide upon a group of flrteen or twenty men who wi ll be taken in dur ing R ser ies of months an d then they draw lots each month to see wh ich three will come in that month. Where it Is positively undeflltood tha t a ll the members of the group a r e desired ss members of th e club. this is not a bad way to keep up t he lIustained interest.

Osb o rn-R o tari a n A S alluring as the Aladdin-like rl. magic of Fulton, H owe, Goodyear, Westinghouse and Edisonis this [a c t- s cory of two young R otarians. Almost si nce they started [ 0 vote, th ese two young men worked. ate and slep t " fibe r" of various kinds. Seven years ago they saw th e vision of a thoroughly dtpendahle wall-board f So they dreamed, studied, planned , and experimented, month after mo'nth, to produce a more perfec t boa rd. • This mom h, the "Upson Boys" will start the wheels of the most recent addition, wh ich will give to th e Upson Company th e largest and most modem wall- board plant under one roof in the world. But size of plant means nothing to the Upsons. They care less fo r the repmation of quantity producers than th ey do fo r th e reputation of being quali ty creators. They succeeded and Upson Processed Board was th e result. T heir pride is in the dependability of the Upson product with its record o f less than one complaint to every 4,000,000 feet sold and used . Then-and only when the board had been tested and found superior did they detennine to begin the making of itand to market it under the belief (hat merit would win. We as R otarians believe that Mankind seeks the good-the endu ring-and the dependable; that painstaking effort, high ideals and honorab le principl es in th e conduct of industry bring satisfaction to the user and success to th e manufacturer. With in two years a new factory had to be erected to supply the demand for "The most Dependable board made in America" . Every year new bui ldi n gs have [!rown up. And I believe that the Upson Company has won its place in th e sun-simpiy by measuring fo ur.square to that threadbare bm golden slogan: "He profits most who serves best."
