Results of Study of Southern Commission on Interracial Cooperation Announced (By N. C. W. C. News Service) ATLANTA—Statistics showing that 3,724 persons were lynched in this country from 1889 through 1930 and that of the thousands of lynchers and on-lookers few were punished are contained in “The Tragedy of Lynch ing” by Arthur Raper, a book published by the University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, N. C., comprising the results of a study car ried on by the Southern Commission on the Study of Lynching, a group which was organized by the Commis sion on Interracial Co-operation, with headquarters here. Only 49 persons were kill'd for participation in lynchings in 1930, in which 21 persons were killed, the book says, and only four of these have been sentenced. The author finds that the better elements of the community and the stronger churches and better news papers generally oppose lynching publicly and effectively. He cites many examples of this, but points out that the ultimate deterrent must come from a still more effectual marshal ing of the forces of civilization and enlightened public opinion. “It need not be urged,” he con cludes, “that laws at least are of little avail unless supported by public opinion.

C. W. C. News Service) MEXICO CITY—An interview with former President Plutarco Elias Calles, in which the General is repre sented as disillusioned regarding the Mexican Revolution and expresses pessimistic views concerning its fu ture, is published in El Universal, The interview is written by Ezequiel Padilla, member of the Mexican Con gress and former president of that body, who was special prosecutor of Jose de Leon, youth convicted and executed in the assassination of President-Elect Alvaro Obregon. Padilla in his interview, recalls the first message of President Calles to the Congress to which Padilla replied as President of the Congress in Sep tember, 1925. Calles, with what Padilla calls a bitter gesture, replies: “Eight years after that message I am everything but satisfied with what has been accomplished. I be- live that we have seen our strongest and most constructive proposals de feated and postponed. In the first place we lack the necessary human material. The men whose business it was to carry out this enormous enterprise have failed. The farm schools themselves, which on no pre text should have been allowed to be anything but successful, were a dis aster up to the time of their trans fer to the Department of Public Edu cation. The reason is that the men placed in charge of such elevated functions had no love for the enter prise, no ability to understand it, no sufficient disinterestedness to manage it. In the second place we have lack ed a coherent plan of action. We have labored Without any co-ordina tion.” Discussing the agrarian problem. General Calles points out the advant ages of large scale operation over small scale operation according to Padilla, but he reports Calles as adding: “Land distribution has been pledged solemnly by the Revolution, it de stroys peonage, and once family prop- erty\is achieved it becomes an im portant factor of agricultural organ izations. It is therefore urgent that we conclude it as soon as possible. The government has not had time to solve this problem, but it merits all our attention, and we should under take it without political violence, under a plan of administration in which the interest of the landholder will be served, giving him the security that comes from land owner ship.” In answer to questions concerning labor Calles is quoted as saying: “Our workingmen will have to learn from experience. If we under take to unite them before they have had that experience our efforts will be useless. In this way they will quickly learn the lessons they need most to learn, namely that nothing can be accomplished except through united action. “A short time ago the director of the National Railways made a survey in the State of Oaxaca preparatory to (Continued on Page Two) Ukraine,” Dr. Ammende said. “Cath - olics, Orthodox, Protestants, Jews, Russians, Ukrainians and Germans, in short members of all religious com munities and national groups, are per ishing in the Soviet State.
