Negro Must Use Extreme Caution
and Face Facts SquareIy.

Atlantic City, Feb. 2S.-"Tne Am
erican Negro needs to exercise ex-
treme caution lest 1t be swept away
on wave of false optimism" says
Floyd Delcs Francis, secretary-gener-
al of the Negro American Alliance.
In a statement which the Alliance
Is sending out from its national
headquarters, the Secretary General
continues: ut is well to be optimistic
and look on the bright side of Things,
but there is danger mark that must
be carefully avoided. At the present
time there is much machine-made
opinion finding its way into the public
print. The Negro is being assured
that all is we'll. There is much talk
about what he has done in the past
and how he can be depended upon in
the future. He is being lcuded as an
American citizen Who always rises
equal to the emergency. While be-
ing filed with enthusiasm by hired
enthusiasts it is we'll for him to
pause, face the facts squarely and use
his common sense.
I'VE are at war with Austria, yet
Austrian alien enemies have more
privileges than Negro soldiers in uni
form. The fact is that democracy Is
being made farce and mockery right
here in America 1t is time for the
Negro to cease fooling himself or
when the war is over he will be lost"
