in three hours or so than had this dark divinity. Buddha’s thick lips and kinky head were never listened to with such rapture nor crowned with us much glory. “In spite of all opposition,” shouted the god. “we are still here on earth!” It is said this man’s angels have got hold of $25,000,000 in property in this country; that his activities have saved the state of New York alone at least $20,000,000 in relief costs. No wonder that one white man, giving Divine the property across the Hudson from Roosevelt’s estate, said: “Roosevelt has put his people on relief. Father Divine has taken his people off relief.” The police everywhere say he reduces court costs and lessens their police burdens. And yet the United States government has been trying to corral this little Negro by methods that looked to some of us almost like framing. Why? Perhaps Divine disturbs their “race” notions: those three secretaries, one is colored and two are white (words never used by the Divine followers;) his chief helper is Mr. Damb, a so-call-ed “white” person; his angels are white, yellow, brown, black. The sisters cooking, handling and serving that food were of both or all “races”. Whatever happens in tin future, in the present, down to now. this God has certainly gone to town!

For Unemployment Chief objective of the California Committee for Reemployment is the establishment of unemployment self-help organizations, cooperative ventures to give relief recipients a chance to supply themselves with the things they need. Assertedly supporting the committee is an imposing list of bodies: American Federation of Labor, Congress of Industrial Organization. Railroad Brotherhoods, California Chamber of Commerce, California Conference of the American Association of Social Workers, California Farm Bureau Federation, California Workers Alliance, California Federation of Cooperative Workers, and the California Patrons of Husbandry (the Grange). Immediate goal of the Reemployment body is to secure the Initiative Constitutional Amendment under the California Reemployment Act. Stipulations of the measure include a revolving funds of $8,000,000 to be known as the State Reemployment Fund, which will be established out of the General Fund of the State of California; bonds which may be issued after the first year of operation, in amount not to exceed $6,000,000 in any fiscal year; funds to be administered for loan to cooperative organizations by a Board of ten persons to be appointed for terms of five years, by the Governor, from a panel of five names to be submitted the various supporting organizations; all loans are to be on a repayable basis for the production, by self-help cooperatives, distribution, barter and sale by and between goviernment agencies, cooperative organization, and recipients of old age pensions, etc. The Act also provides for civil service classification and appointment of employees after the first year, the democratic organization of coopera*tives (one vote per member, and only one vote, no proxy voting), distribution of earnings on the basis of participation in production, and other administrative requirements. Petition to place this proposal upon the next ballot are now being circulated eagerly by supporters. For many years Mr. Roosevelt's wing of the democratic party has been loudly bewailing the fact that no one has offered an alternative” to Relief. The President loudly wailed that he knew Relief was inefficient, politics-ridden, and expensive, but that objectors could not offer a developed plan to replace it. Well, whether you agree with it or not, the cooperative scheme here knocks that argument right into the waste basket of political malarkey. Certainly, there could be no more thoroughly ‘developed’ plan to remove the blight of American civilization—Relief. (Calif. Eagle)
