They are coming on the invitation of President Roosevelt. That they may strengthen the s between the United States and Great Britain goes hout saying. This is quite a different matter than king support for the present Chamberlain govern- 1ent which many Americans have criticized. Afte Chamberlain did not create the -old relation- p between this country and Britain.

Americans will remember that ly the King and Queen, despite their ed rank, come here as interested friends. It Didn’t Happen in Miami (Philadelphia Record) slections were scheduled for a recent Tuesd: Miiami, Florida. Municipal contests ran hot. Several yul-minded politicians were seized with a bright idea to keep the Negroes from voting, in the belief that ould hurt the opposition. All the usual K.K.K. methods were used. Warn- ng fires were lit. Burning crosses dotted the country. Cavalcs s of automobiles went through the Negro listrict, with warning signs. A Negro was hanged in ff with the placar He Voted.” We suppose the German papers could seize on his to show that minorities aren't treated any too well in America, either. They could run the para- raphs above, and gloat. But they couldn’t print the est of the story. This is it: Police Chief H. Leslie Quigg, of Miami, gave personal assurances to the Negroes that hey would be protected in their right to vote. Special police squads were ordered to duty. Negroes turned out in numbers. Their vote was five times the usual Negro vote for the city. That’s the difference between a free country and a Nazi Germany. We have our share of haters. There is hate wherever there are ignorance, spiritual mean- ness and political racketeers. But in free America, hate is a private industry, not a government monopoly. It is not an official theory of the State. It is fought, not encouraged, by the law. It is condemned, not taught, in the schools. We're not perfect. We're not angels. But we try to develop the better side of man, not to glorify the worse. ys that the New York World's Fair y calls for more beauties for display, Maybe they could have staged a successful exposition without all that expense of building a trylon and perisphere. has sent out huri Léndon families are being offered pillbox aid raid shelters for from $175 to $200.
