THE NEGRO AND SELF-GOVERN
}/ MENT, H-

In this year Of governmental up
sisings, political and labor strikes the
question is often asked, is the Negro
capable of self governing and then
they point us to recent revolutions
and uprisings in the little Negro re-
public of Haiti, where the U. S. had
to 60 in and settle the recent trouble
in that republic, is not sufficient proof
of our inability to govern ourselves.
Have not countries governed by white
people reeblled against their governs
ment and had wars. | can point to
Mexico, China, Japan and even nearly
NIL of the most enlightened nations Of
Europe. What bloodshed and car
mage there. Surely they must be IN
capable to govern their countries. Let
the critical old world give the Negro
a full chance and an equal opportun-
ity and as rule they will prove to-
be as capable Of self-governing. s
