ELEMENTS OF THE
RACE PROBLEM

From time to time it will be the
purpose of the The FORUM to
present some distinct element of
the Race Problem and explain the
source from which it arises and the
method of the Legion in treating it.
No movementis sounder in its treat
ment of problem as a whole than
it is in the way it treats each dis
tinct element of that problem, and
unless each distinct element enter
ing into it is understood. as well as
the source from whence it comes;
its relative value to other elements
composing the problem, and the
real character and nature of the ell
ement. no man or movement is pre-
pared to intelligently deal with the
problem itself. The Race Problem
is the most difficult of understand
ng, complexed and intri-
cate of all the problems confronting
the American people. Some definate
and we'll understood method of
ntering in
to it becomes of the GREATEST I'M
PoRrANcE to che nation and to its
races. The Importance of the meth
cd however, does not surpass the
the importance of a perfect under
standing of the elements of the
problem to be treated. Therefore,
education along this line will be of
real value to both races and to all
who are engaged in any way for
the advancement of the Race.

THE NEGRO MIGRATION
PROBLEM

The exodus of the Colored peo-
pie of the South into all parts of
the North means that in the same
degree as their numbers increase
the ratio of northern population, so
will their presence intensity the
race problem in the north and adds
phases to be dealt with in each COM
munity. There is disposition on
the part of many whose positions
impose leadership upon them to
ook lightly upon this question and
to shift the responsibility of deal
ing with it upon the Lord" One
prominent leader the other day was
heard to remark, Just
now much is being said in every
section of the country about leav-
ing the South and coming to the
North and the question is being
asked on every hand and by white
and black, what does this all
mean2o Take it from me God is in
he movement and his purposes are
ripening fast. The disposition on
the part of Race leaders, to whom
God has given talents to be used in
behalf of their race to simply get
out from under great responsibilities
when they come by saying the
Lord will do this, will do that, is
very unfortunate. God has never
promised to do for any race or peo-
pie that which they can do for them.
selves. 1t is but little less than sac
religious for any man or race to sit
down and look to the Lord to do
for him that which God has given
him talents to be cultivated and de.
veloped and employed in doing for
himself. 1t is downright cussedness
and can but lead to disaster and
woe. The Negro must learn that he.
himself, must pay the price of lib
erty. If he would be respected he
must earn the respect due him.
When the problems come, if the
Negro is not in a position to solve
them in his own behalf then the
white man stands ready to solve
them as he would have them solved
and who can truthfully say that the
Negro has any right to whine and
complain, if by his own indiffer-
ence, his own disposition, he assigns
