" Jacques Corbeau "

Some American tourist threw from a bus a French Negro, a War veteran, who was touring the battlefields.

Many Americans resent the French doctrine of Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite, when applied to Negroes. Several disagreeable incidents have occured when the tourists have strenuously objected to the rising tide of color in Montmartre.

Candace and Bousse, Deputies, colored, prepared to raise a storm of anti-American protest in the Chamber. Supporting them, the French

Foreign Office issued a communique, directing the police to protect Frenchmen at all costs, regardless of color, and threatening offensive tourists with expulsion if they tried to import Jim Crow tactics. France needs the loyalty of her colored colonies even more than she needs the cash of American tourists.
