Dubois says that the Negro in
Africa has been practically enslaved
by the civilized nations Of Europe
The growth of trade unions made in
vestors look to Africa for opportun-
tiles. That meant the partition OF
Africa And this partition of Africa
brought revision Of the ideas of Negro
uplift. Why was it necessary, the Eu-
ropean investors urged, to push a con-
tinent OF black workers along the
paths of social uplift by education.
trades unionism, property holding and
the electoral franchise when the work
ers desired no change and the rate OF
European profit would suffer-"
Accumulated profits from the me-
chanical inventions of the last few
generations drove France, Belgium,
England, Germany, Italy, Spa n and
Portugal to carve Africa according to
their own tastes. Dubois can see no
hope for the race until Negroes fight
not simply for their own rights as
men, but for the ideals Of the greater
world in which they live; the emanci-
patton of women, universal peace,
democratic government, the socializa-
ton of wealth and human brother
hood"
That does not mean inevitable prog.
ress. It means unacceptable degrade
ton If the generous spirits of the
world do not strive to the utmost. At
crisis like this every virtue, every
ideal, every dream of glory can be
forsaken in an instant. Brute force
can displace reason, and the world,
like the gallant boy on the Aisne. can
make itself 1.-THE instrument through
which greater force works out Its
inscrutable ends through the impulses
OF terror and repulsion."
The alternative Is justice, fraternity
and equality.
