DR.. GEORGE E. HAYNES
Director of Negro Economics on Constructive
Program for American Democracy

and decided should receive wider APP
tionnl cooperative committee or com
mission to stimulate and coordinate
the many private and governmental
efforts to secure just adjustment of
Negroes in America? Such national
body should be composed of persons
of broad, constructive minds, possess
ing the spirit of Cancellation and co
operation. Such II commission might
be IL combination of liberal citizens
from the North, the South, and from
the Negroes. It might lay out II CON
structive plan, first, for the survey of
community conditions as they relate 10
Negroes: second, for formulating Il
nationwide program based upon the
survey of the facts, and third, for
seeking both private and govern
mental support and legislation to do
whatever the broadcast survey and the
soundest wisdom suggests to better
economic, educational, civic and other
conditions of Negroes in American
life. Something needs to be done aS
ii beginning. Probably the economic
field will be best as II starting point
"The domestic and foreign relations
of America are changing. The inter
national relations will probably bring
us close to many of the darker races
of both the old and the new world.
America wants to teach them democ-
racy. In her twelve million Negroes,
our nation has ambassadors who can
be most effective in bearing the demo-
cratic message of peace and goodwill
to these darker peoples. But broad
constructive craftsmanship must de-
veIop these ambassadors through ma
tional policy and program in keeping
with the reconstruction now upon the
land of the free and the home of the
brave"

isn't going to miss German made toys
at all. Before the war the quaint
wooden toys which bore the imposing
stamp, Made in Germany" were CON
sidered just little better than any
other.
In the war America found herself
in more ways than one.
At Fort Des Moines an Alabama Ne
gro soldier is daily turning out just
as attractive wooden toys as Germany
ever thought of making. Cunning lit
tie animals, birds mounted with the
laughing heads of Colored Dinahs and
Topsys-all these are being evolved
under the nimble fingers of men who
used to laugh and sing in the cotton
fields and didn't even know the mean
ing of the word ''boche" or "kultur'
several years ago.
An effort is being made to have the
toys put on the market.

FOUNDERS DAY HAMPTON INsTI-
TUTE.

Hampton. Va, Jan. Secretary
Franklin X. Lane was the Founders
Day speaker Mt Hampton Institute, on
Sunday, January 2G Principal james
H. Gregg introduced him as "a high
minded servant of the people-a man
who has shown forward-looking care
for the welfare and happiness OF
all the people" Secretary Lane said:
Armstrong's Lasting Monument.
General Armstrong needs no monu-
ment other than Hampton Institute,
born out of the spirit of helpfulness,
charity. tolerance. faith-a spirit that
represents the new day and not the
day that is past.
Il doubt if there is a single man
who has lived in this country who has
more certainly pointed the way to the
character of education that will OBJ
tain in the United States in the fu-
ture than General Armstrong. He
foresaw the thing that was needed for
the making of Il democracy and he put
into this institution theory of educa-
tion. IL philosophy reaching far furth-
er than the colored man, which will
be Il standard for us throughout the
United States. The best of his philos-
ophy was that men and women must
niN-iliZa1 m thaN
must be working men. If you want
men of culture-and not Il superficial
culture-they must be men who have
woven into their natures the power To
do"
Square Deal for All Men.
Secretary Lane paid Il warm tribute
to the splendid work of nearly 100000
colored soldiers, of whose record, he
declared, men from any part of the
world might well feel proud. Address
ing the great Hampton audience, he
said:
And you are to have IL part in the
paking of this new AmericiL-in eN-
plotting the possibilities of it. No race, .
no people can with assurance say that
they express the last word of civiliza-
rion.
THE foundation of our country is
tolerance, fair-play, the square deal.
We want to see here man, as man,
given his chance. There may be diff
ferences between men, and we know
there are-physical, mental, moral;
but they are all men and all are To
have their chance and we all are to
join in the making of America."
Old SprituaIs.
The Hampton choir. and later the
entire Hampton school, sang to Sec
retary Lane and other Founders Day
guests number of the "old spirit
uals," including Il Want to BE
