Negro problem in the south, was the
main topic of the public conference at
the annual meeting of the National
Association for the Advancement OF
Colored People held in New York re-
Gently. TIE speaker who told of the
movement to curtail the land holdings
of Negroes was DR.. w. E. B. Dubois,
director of publicity and research for
the association and the first to spread
the facts of the situation in the north.
He attacked the position of Clarence
Poe. editor of the Progressive Farmer,
as one of the chief supporters of the
idea of farm segregation, and review
ed the progress in agriculture and
property in land on the part of the
Negro. which has led to the plan to
limit his activities.
DR.. Dubois began his talk on farm
segregation by reviewing the solution
of the Negro problem suggested twen-
ty-five years ago. Take the Negro
out OF politics. Train him for work.
particularly for farm work. The re-
suit will be the disappearance of the
Negro problem" He went on to give
statistics to show that the Negro has
submitted to practical dfsfranchise-
ment throughout large part of the
south. and to complete social diserim-
ination against him, to gain the
chance for education and independent
support. The results have been, DR..
Dubois asserted. that the Negro
schools have been neglected, that
large proportion of the Negro chill
dren are not in school, and that there
has been quiet bat determined opposi-
ton to the success Of the higher
schools for Negroes, while in the In
dustrial and agricultural field the
Negro has had to contend against tire
mendous odds.
Instead of welcoming the fact that
despite odds the Negro has developed
his abilities and acquired farm prop
erty, as the working out of the solu-
ton suggested a quarter of CEN
fury ago, DR.. Dubois said, the adj
vancement of the race has aroused

he said, but when he began to work
for himself. objections at once sug-
gested themselves. The result is the
proposition of Clarence Poe, as editor
of the Progressive Farmer. that when
the greater part of the acreage of a
section is owned by one race the
voters may say that no land within
this section shall be sold to a member
of another raes, provided the vote Is
reviewed and approved by judge or
a county commission This plan, DIR.
Dubois asserted, is based on the the
DRY of race segregation, which has re-
suited In degradation and failure in
the case of the Indians. and which is
now aimed at a far larger class, the
Negroes.
Mrs. Robert NJ LaFollette told the
good qualities of the Negroes as citi-
zens as she had observed them, their
ambition. their Willingness to work.
their love of home and their natural
cheerfulness. In closing she urged
that the checking of the activity Of
the race meant danger to the nation.
