are all in some measure responsible,
and against which, as good citizens,
and must all fight. What can be done?
First, every one of us can and
should protest. Especially is this Il
time when the white men, of the
South and of the North, should leave
no one in doubt where they stand:
whether for law and order. for decency
and justice and humanity, or against
these fundamentals of civilization. The
kind of people who make mp mob
are not such as should intimidate any
American who has red blood in his
veins and courage in his soul We ap-
plaud the occasional sheriff who de-
fies the members of the mob-are we
sure that we should be equally brave?
On the other hand, let me say, just
as frankly and emphatically, that the
colored people of this country owe it
to themselves and to their friends to
make it indisputably plain-as they
usually do--that they are not counten-
ancing or excusing any deeds of wan
ton violence or criminal reprisal by
members of their own race. Self-de-
fence is one thing; murder is another.
The lawless man, whether white or
black, is the enemy of society. He
must be restrained and sternly
punished for the sake of the whole
community-James +. Gregg in the
Southern Workman.

CAUSES OF RACE RI0TING
POINTED OUT BY FRANK

KTEW YORK, Dec. S.-The find
IN ing of a recent investigation
into the causes of race rioting
in the United States, an investiga-
tion conducted by Glenn Frank, as
sociate editor of the Century show
ing how altered living conditions and
the changed attitude of the Negroes
themselves due to the war have en-
HANGED the Negro problem, has just
been published in the Century. Mr..
Frank lists the new causes of race
riots as follows:
1.-The great influx of southern Ne
gro labor into northern industrial
centers. Inadequate housing facil-
tiles for the new Negro population in
the centers to which the migration
has led, with the usual results of
congestion in the breeding of those
types of qualities that readily yield
to the rioting impulse. The over
flow of Negroes from crowded col
ored colonies into white residential
blocks, with resulting depreciation
of property values as far as white
occupancy is concerned, and the in
eyitable inter-race irritation. The
exploitation of Negroes by real es-
tate agents, both black and white in
the boosting of rentals and purchas-
ing prices.
The impressions left upon the
minds of our returning Negro SOL
diers by the measure of social equal
ity which they enjoyed in France,
and the inevitable contrast they are
drawing between that attitude and
the attitude they find upon their re-
turn. An intensified race pride and
race consciousness on the part of the
American Negro resulting from his
having done his share as soldier and
civilian in the war.
"A new sense of the possibility
and freedom of movement which the
Negro acquired from having learned
that southern Negro apparently
can stand the northern climate and
make a living in the new surround
ings. freshened resentment on the
part of the Negro against his social
and industrial limitations when he
thinks of them in the light of the
ideals of freedom. democracy and
equality for which he fought.
"The stimulus to social equality
aspirations growing out of the rela-
tions between blacks and white pros
titutes who have moved into Negro
districts following the breaking up
of segregated vice districts in cities,
as in Chicago, together with the re-
sentiment aroused among nearby
whites. The irritation of many of
our returned soldiers when they find
their old jobs held by Negroes, while
they are having difficulty in getting
back to work. A conflict of inter
ests between non-union Negro labor
and organized white labor"
A changed attitude on the part of
the Negro that nourishes the idea of
revolutionary methods for the attain
ment of his aspirations, an attitude
fostered by one wing of Negro lead
ership, and cultivated by ultra-radi-
calls who dream of a social revolution
in the United States. rs there a
solution for the Negro problem? 1t
is folly to hope for quick solutions"
Mr.. Frank opines. He goes on, how
ever, to urge as remedial measures: !:
1) that the Negroes follow leaders
like Booker T. Washington rather
than the brand type of Negro;
