The Negro Rare Demonstrates
the Failacy Of the Socialist
Theory.


The Socialist theory is that
with tie growth and develop
ment Of the present system. the
struggle between the masses and
the classes grows more and more
intense. that the rich become
richer and the poor poorer; that
the workers Of today are better
off than they were yesterday and
the workers Of twenty wears ago
are far better off than those Of
today. Of course we know that
this socialist theory is a myth
and perhaps there is no better
proof Of this fact than the econo-
mic history of the Negro. Freed
from slavery in 1865 with little
or no education. no property and
hardly decent chance to ac-
quire either, they have made
far greater advance than the Rus
sian serfs have made IN the same
length of time. Fifty years ago
the Negro had scarcely any
means for education or religious
development. In the entire
south there were but 100 Negro
Sunday schools and hardly any
means for even the lower grades
of education. Today there are
26 theological schools for Ne
groes. There are four large pub
fishing houses that devote their
entire business to the religious
needs Of the Negro. At the
close of the war, in 1865. there
were less than 100 schools for
education Of the Negro in the
whole of the South. Today there
are two million colored school
children taught by $4,000 colored
teachers and there Is a constant
Improvement in the advantages
and the scope Of their education.
Now for the economic side: At
the close Of the war between the
states the Negro was left with
out home. He had no proper
ty. In 1910 the Negro farmers
owned 24l.22l farms worth
$272. 992, 23S in the south alone.
And from 1900 to 1910 the value
Of these farms had increased by
more than $l66. OOO, 900. or an in
crease of 1875 per cent. The value
Of white farmers farm property
during the same period increased
by only 100 per cent. The aver
age Negro was valued in slavery
at just about $500: today his eco
nomic worth to the community
in which he lives is $4,000. At
the close of the war there were
not over $50 Negro doctors,
lawyers. etc. Today there are
$4,000 Negroes in the profes.
sions: there are 10000 business
Negroes including Ga banks. To-
day the Negroes Of this nation
are in possession of $70O. OOO, 600
worth of property. That is to
say: starting in 1865 with no.
thing they have accumulated
500, 100000 in wealth and this
is an achievement that they may
well be proud Of. And this fact
gives the lie to the MARKHAM
theory about as strongly as any
economic fact that can be pro
duced. The future of the Negro
is in his own hands. To be sure
the white man can do many
things to aid him but the very
best aid that he or any working
man can have is that kind of aid
which will help them to self
help.
As a warning however, ! want
I. to point out that there is not an
other political or economic move
ment in all the world that car
ries with it so great a danger t.
the black man as this Socialis,

REVIVAL WAR FINANCE
 CORPORATION LIKELY
Optimistic Message Received from Senator McKellar-Law May
 be Amended.
(By United Fress1

tbs Onited fress1
 Memphis, Nov. 29-Local business
 men were pleased yesterday with tn,
 telegram from Senator McKellar, wh,
 is now in Washington, stating tha
 prospects for reviving the war financ,
 corporation by action of congress a
 the coming session are good. The sen
 ator believes that the law establishing the board will be so amended as tc take from the secretary of the treas. ury the power to stop the boards op- eration without the consent of con- gres.
 Senator McKellar's telegram to George R. James, who went to Wash ington recently for a conference with eastern bankers and Secretary Hous- ton of the treasury department re- garding the proposed reorganization of the board, is as follows:
 Have conferred with enough sena- tors to believe that we will be able to pass resolution establishing war finance corporation in the senate"
 Other business men in Memphis re- ceived similar telegrams, and while the message was pleasing to all, in no line did it bring more cheer than among the cotton men. Southern busi- ness men have fostered the re-estab- lishment of the board because it will assist in financing the exportation of cotton, and, it is pointed out, will cause general relief from the business depression. that is charged with re- sponsibility for the stagnation of trade in al parts of the country
 The machinery for the operation of the finance corporation is still in ex- istence, but under the law as it now stands, the secretary of the treasury alone can start the thing going. Sec retary Houston has repeatedly refused to revive the corporation, despite the insistence of business men throughout the country and several members of the two houses of congress. He gives as his reason that he did not think it necessary to the business of the na- tion, notwithstanding the fact that only small quantities of raw materials produced in this country are being shipped to foreign manufacturers.
 Briefly MT. James believes that the finance corporation will solve the problems now confronting the busi- ness interests of the country, and par ticularly of the south He says that Europe wants the south's cotton, but can not buy it, because Europe has neither money nor credit. He contends that the corporation can furnish mon- ey to American exporters in suffi- cient quantity to permit the extension of long credits to European mills, thus enabling the foreign manufac- turer to buy our raw materials and pay for them with manufactured goods. He believes that this will open up the channels of commerce, in both foreign and domestic trade, and will relieve much of the depression which now exists in all of the great trade centers.
 Men who are familiar with the sit
