It Is a real pity when men of the

PRESS ON BIRMINGHAM SPEECH.
The press of the South has been
having a good deal to say, pro and eoh
on the recent address of President
Harding, delivered in Birmingham.
We have been (Observing these utter
ances with a good deal of interest as
we have some decided views on the
good taste of the President in select
ing his theme under all of the cir
cumstances.
Here are a fefw. comments ,a sort
of a digest 'frbrrf Various newspapers
in this section of the subject and all
of them are ’interesting. Th> first is
from the Mobile Register!
The address of the President in Bir
mingham on the race question has
aroused widely divergent expression
of opinion throughout the South.
Some unqualifiedly condemn the de
cision to touch on the question at all,
regardless of what the President ac
tually had to say. Some have taken
issue with the views expressed, iphile
others have accepted the same views
as coinciding in *the main with those
of the Scuth. This difference of opin
ion among Southern editors is princi
pally due to a difference in the inter
pretation placed upon the President’s
phraseology. The speech, because of
its subject matter, has been subjected
to a more than usually searching
scrutiny, with the result that ediitors,
like lawyers, disagree. %
The view of the first group is fair
ly represented by the Selma Times-
Journal in the following sentences:
“President Harding in his impolitic
Birmingham speech has stirred up a
hornet’s nest and done violence to
the South’s cherished tradition of
white supremacy by proclaiming po
litical equality as the goal of the new
dispensation. Why the President
should have displayed such obliquity
of judgment as to introduce such a
subject on such an occasion is one of
those things that may be classed as
past finding out. The proprieties cf
the occasion ought to have dissaiwled
him from brandishing such a death’s
head at the feast. Some Southerner
should have told him that political
equality does not obtain here because
the white man feels the* he is stand
ing for the integrity of the social or
der and the inviolability of the insti
tutions of the civilization which he
has labored so long to buld, and that
it will not obtain until that fundamen
tal fear is removed from the heart and
the conscience of these who founded
nnd have preserved that civilization.”
in much the same strain the Nash
ville Banner remarks that the Presi
dent accepted courtesy from Bir
mingham and then “made the subject
of his address a sort of scolding on
that perennial source of annoyance,
the race question. Thte was in a de
gree inept and assuredly n::t in good
taste. The Banner the reason for dis
approval of a discussion of the sub
ject. as follows: “It irritates the South
to be lectured on its alleged ill-treat
ment of the Negroes. A dread of seme
attempted return to reconstruction
conditions Is produced when the mat
ter is ag'tated and the race line be
comes more taut with no possibil*
go <1 to t,he Negroes.” The Banner
does not note the passage where the
President admits the superior know
ledge and experience of the Southern
people with this question and where
ho :isks the co-operation of the South
in helping to solve what he believes is
no longer a national problem because
of the great migrations of the Negroes
to the North and West. The Banner
also says that “U the President had
been Invited to Los Angeles or Seat
tle to make an address on a similar o®*
evasion lie would not have lectured
the Pacific Coast people on their
growing antipathy to Orientals.” How
over, there are some who believe that
in the rnre problem ns the President
views it he includes also the problem
of the Orientals who nre already rst
d mus and citizens. The fact that he,
discussed the race problem In lUr
mlngham is reason to believe that on
the Pacific Coast he would have dis
cussed the Oriental problem.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
expresses the opinion of a w Ide group
of Southern opinion when It declares
that “there is no race problem in the
South. Nobody Is talking about social
equality of the race*. A sensible Ne
gro does not want social equality with
the white men snd sane white men
knew that such a thing is Impossible.
The best thought in the South wants
the Negro to be protected In lit*', lib
erty and He must have his
right to a je|./ He ~aboJd he permit
ted tu ko*‘p what he honestlv earns. ’
inasmuch a# this is the condition for
which the President speak*, it is grat
ifying to the South to he aide to as
sure him that it has anticipated h?-
mom mendacious.

Southern race re’ationships are not al
ways' happy, ncr calculated to be help
ful. Certain of his passages sound
well, but are so vague that upon analy
sis his meaning is half in doubt.” The
same newspaper, however, finds that
in some respects the speech shows
that other sections “have come to see
the.* the South was right in its firm
stand upon certain things.
Fronythe quoted passages of his Bir
mingham address we are led toward
the conclusion, however, that- he
should study the racial question a
great deal more thoroughly and bet
ter inform himself regarding the pro
gress towarl its adjustment, here in
the South particularly. ’ __
Among those who view the speecli
with ntore favor is the Louisville
Courier-Journal, which says: “In his
speech at Birmingham President
Harding wisely enforced the idea that
in their relations with other in
the United States, the white race ar.d
the black race should avoid political
solidarity.” The Journal then quotes
from the address on this topi.-, to the
effect that there can be no legal ra
cial amalgamation, and concludes:
“This is sound counsel —so sound
that it needs no elaboration to indi
cate its wisdom.”
It i3 interesting to note also that
the Birmingham News and the Bir
mingham wdth their
splendid opportunity to judge the ef
fect of the adress, both endorse its
main features. The Age-Herald says:
“President Harding offered a practical
common-sense solution to the race
problem in his address yesterday to
the. people of Birmingham and the
South. His views coincide with the
best thought of the country and will
be cordially approved.”
D’VAUERA'S ATTITUDE. •
Along with a large proporition of
the people of the civilized nations we
have earnestly hoped for a satisfac
tory settlement of the Irish question.
Frankly, we have never endorsed the
Wle* of a separation o£ Ireland from
the British empire.
In the first place we do not believe
that Ireland could keep peace between
factions at home and in the second
place, that nation as small as it is
might fall prey to the ambition of
seme foreign nation seeking territor
ial aggrandizement. Furtherm re, we
do not blame Great Britain for declin
in'- to perm’t an independent small
nation in such close proximity. It is
a situation that would be a constant
danger and 4 menace to the securitT
of that nation. Others may differ with
ur? about this, but that is our opinion
at any rate, -ays the Rome Tribune-
Herald.
Just suppose, for Instance, that Ire
land had been an independent nation
ard had sided with Germany during
th3 world war. It is easy enough to
seo the menace that would have been
to England and Scotland?
It is altogether impossible that Eng
land will ever ornnent to the separa
tion of Ireland, and continued efforts
in that direction on the part of Irish
leaders but mal e more difficult the
efforts of consr vatives on both sides
to reach a r .sfactrry settlement.
It seems that Mr. De aVlera. provi
sional President of Ireland, and leader
of the Sinn Fein, has in his recent tel
egrams to the Pope, and his general
attitude, aVuost caused a break-off
in the negotiations now going on. Mr.
De Valera continues to insist on Ire
land acting a an independent na
t’nn and the recognition of her dele
gates in as representatives
of a sovereign state.
Mr. Lloyd George, the British pre
mier.. flatly refuses such recognition.
”and It Is not possible that the British
g will consent to negotia
tions on such a basis. Furthermore,
Ulster continues to occupy a stubborn
attitude. So that although, in our opin
ion. a large majority of the pe plo of
both England and Ireland earnestly
desire a peaceful settlement they are
being greatly hampered by De Valera.
Sir James Craig, and other radlca’a.
it is our sincere hope that radical
| tentiment will not prevail or that, ow-
I : ni to the activities of extremists, ne
gottat tons will he broken off It would
b a regrettable situation should
there be a return to the era of blood
shed and das'ruction wh’ch for many
•Months so shocked the cirllir'>d world
We very much hope that Judge Bev
; "rlv D. Prana. of the y ni *ed States
court. can see his way clear to con*
\ * rm the bid of the newly organized
I Brunawtck and lnterurban for the
| property of the City & Suburban. The
* *ort on the part of the people of
Brunswick to save their only transP
system has been a heroic one at 9
reason of real stress. We are quit'

bid. if it is humanely possible to mw
