THE RACE QUESTION
By Frederick ]. Haskln.

much to do with race riots.
Negroes have perhaps seldom
been impelled to acts OF violence
by this sort Of thing, but they have
been encouraged in an attitude
which provoked acts Of violence
on the part Of whites. Very often
the whites are the actual aggres-
sors.
But the fixing Of blame is not
important. The important point is
that this incendiary preaching
and writing on the part Of negroes
like the forming Of vigilance com
mittees and the organization Of
mobs through newspaper publicity
on the part Of the whites, make
violence almost inevitable. They
prevent the intelligent racial CO
operation which alone can stop
the loss Of life and property and
national self-respect due to race
riOting.
But even though these immedi-
ate indictments to violence were
removed, the present negro unrest
would by no means be allayed,
according to DR.. Jones. The un-
derlying cause Of this unrest is
that the war his given the negro
a new idea of his industrial and
The Washington times., 1919-10-09

THE Ameican negro really be-
lieved that the defeat Of
Germany would make the
world safe for democracy" and
that in such q world he would en-
JOY rights and privileges which had
long been denied him. He is bit
terly disappointed to find that
the world war, in which he bore
a part, has not made much differ
ence in his social, political and in
dustrial status.
This disappointment on the part
Of the negro, who took all the war
time OratOry quite literally, is the
most immediate cause of the pres
ent negro unrest, according to DR..
Thomas Jesse Jones a leading
American student Of the negro
problem.
DR.. Jones is employed by the
Phelps-Stokes Fund, which is an
endowment for the betterment Of
negroes and Indians. He has also
made studies in negro education
for the Bureau Of Education. Re-
Gently most Of his time has been
devoted to the present acute race
problem, and to the promotion Of
measures for its relief.
Committees in South.
Throughout the South commit
tees on inter-racial cooperation
have been formed which have al
ready gone a long way toward al
Ieviating the race problem in that
section. DR.. Jones points out en-
phaticaIly that some such organiza-
ton, which will focus the best
minds of both races on the prob
lem Of adjusting their relations,
is urgently needed in the North.
The committees, which are be-
ing organized in the South, have
each two sectiOns-One black and
one white. These sections meet
separately. The negroes draw up
a prospectus of what they think
they should have in the way Of
aid and recognition from the
whites. The white committee then
meets COubluGL5 JllC COAAA PAesAA -
and suggestions Of the negroes,
and devises means for bettering
their condition. In this way, an
agreement is substituted for mu-
tual misunderstanding, and in
telligent men of both races are
stimulated TO think about the
problems of race relations.
In one Southern city, for eX-
ample, the negro and white COM
mittees agreed that the negroes
should have equal educational IA
cilities, Justice before the law as
good travelling facilities as the
whites, good houses, and recre-
alton facilities. The races are
pledged to work together for these
ends.
High School In Atlanta.
These Southern committees
have in most cases among their
members some Of the strongest
men IN their communities. Atlanta
has an especiallysstro and rep
resentative committee. Much good

economic value. It is not the negro
back from France who is at the
bottom Of the unrest, but the one
who stayed at home. This neErJ
who stayed at home earned uu.
usually high wages. He had for a
time q better home, better school,
better food, and usually shorter
working hours and better working
conditions. He is reluctant to 20
back to a ten-hOur day in the
fields, or to any other work which
is not as well-paid as the work he
did during the war.
Negro Moving North.
AS a result Of this feeling on
the part Of the negro, he is NOV
ing North. In the North the negro
often gets work at better pay, gets
at least an Ostensible political
equality with the whites; he es-
capes Jim-C -CrOWism, and perhaps
some other forms Of racial dis
elimination.
But he finds himse in cities
where there are no special sec
tions for him to live in, no recre-
alton facilities for him. In his
attempt to find a home and live a
normal life, he comes into con-
tact with white people who are
not used to coming into contact
with him. Conflict results newt
ably.
Meantime, in the South, the de-
parture Of the negro is resented.
The South has had the negro la
borer so long that it has perhaps
not fully appreciated his value.
Now that he is beginning to leave,
the South is waking up to the fact
that it needs him. Negroes have
been stopped by men with cooked
guns from boarding trains for the
North.
Situation Best In South.
Organizations have been formed
to check the exodus by force if
necessary. All this has caused a
tension in the South as we'll as in
the North. But the South, with its
committees on inter-racial CO.
operation, seems to be moving to-
ward a solution. The South has
always understood the negro
pretty we'll; the best of its people
have always been interested in his
welfare. Now the South is gain
ing a better appreciation Of the
negro's economic value, and that
promises much for the future.
But in the North the situation
is still big with trouble. Most Of the
Northern cities which have suf-
fered from riots seem not to have
profted much by experience. Few
Northern cities have gone sys-
tematically about providing homes
for the negroes who are coming to
them. Few of them, so far as can
be learned, have done anything
more intelligent than to call out
troops and to hire extra police
men. They will all soon realize
that here is a problem that will
b need study and careful handling.

Bonus For Soldier.

To the Editor OF The Times:
In reference to Soldiers Bonus, A"
/ wish to state that I firmly believe
our fighting men are as patriotic as
ever and willing to support our q.
s. A in time OF need, but I do feel
that we were and are disappointed
that some provisions were not made
in our behalf to give US a start in
the game Of civvles which the ma
jOrity OF US left in order to fight
to retain our home and business life.
For example, left a position in
Chicago, went East TO say good-by
TO my folks; then enlisted. Ny ex-
penses travelling to the East and
other items as a result OF my enlist
ment, not counting sacrifice Of my
Job, cost me in money alone about
500, which I had saved.
