A New York Professor
Thinks Negro Discomfort
is Growing in the u. S.
preston News Service)

New Haven, Cohn1 Jan. AT u
meeting of the American History Pro-
fessors' Association here Prof Holland
Thompson. of the College of the City
Of New York. declared that he is con
WINGED that discomfort among Negroes
in this country is increasing. He said
q anPed conditions had given rise to
Iaore apparent hostility to Negroes as
a lace North of the Mason and Dixon
'iDe than South of it.
Fer years, he said, the Negro had
been urged by certain members of his
roce backed by white sympathizers, to
demand all the rights of citizenship
and to oppose every form of segregat-
ion and discrimination.
This advice" he continued, 'had
more effect in the North during tho
World War than in the South. and
Negro populations in Northern cities
had more than doubled. Large num-
hers of Negroes came from the West
Indies and as these latter had not beer,
accustomed to racial discrimination
their resentment influenced the na-
tive Negroes in the cities"
Professor Thompson described the
for Negroes and the encouragement
given by publications to the conten-
tions that Negroes must resist oppres
ion by force, if necessary. In politics.
the speaker said the Negro was begin
ming to vote as Negro and not as a
member of any political party. Race
prejudice. he said. was increasing and
not diminishing. In short he declared
the Negro question has become q con.
pick and national one.
Professor Thompson's subtle attack
on the National Association for the Aa
vancement of Colored People; his d:
rect praise of the South; his reference
to the Garvey movement; his stab at
Negro newspapers; his accusation o:
Negro voters; his slap at broad-mind-
ed white people all go to show his
place of nativity as we'll as indicate
his secret organization affiliations. If
we are to read between the lines.
