ALLOWING WASHINGTON, D. c.
RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION

group of white men and women who
are sincere and courageous in their
desire for justice, equity and peace for
all men. The movement began as one
of our after-the-war necessities. At
first faith was small, vision dim, hope
uncertain, but the work grew until now
out of 1,0O0 counties in the South, 500
or more are duly organized with joint
committees representing both races
There is II central office at Atlanta
with DIR. w. w. Alexander, minister
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South as director. Most of the states
have full time interracial secretaries
Some of the states have two secretar'
les, one white and one colored.
1.-THE organization of the WOman's
Department of the Commission on In
terracial Cooperation has brought to
light fine heroism on the part of the
women. These women have added
strength, dignity and confidence to the
commission. There has been oppOsi-
ton in some quarters, misgiving in
others, lack of interest in others, but
the movement still goes forward with
confidence, intelligence, equity and the
leadership of Jesus Christ. This ideal
of promoting better understanding
on the basis of cooperation and a
more adequate appraisal OF human
values will strengthen our national
government and its reaction will be
felt throughout the world and rebound
to the glory of God and the advance
ment of His Kingdom.
81 do not know a better summing up
of this movement than was put in lit
tie verse which appeared not long ago
in South African magazine:
If 1 knew you and you knew me,
If both of us could clearly see
And, with an inner sight, divine
The meaning of your heart and mine;
l am sure that we would differ less
And clasp our hands in friendliness;
Our thoughts would pleasantly agree
If l knew you and you knew me-

schools. We are contending against
the policy of restricting appointments
in public service. We contend for
Negro police-sergeants, for a colored
member OF the Board of Education
in a word, for the "open door" for
merit regardless of race or color.
The n. A. A. C. p. lost many sup
porters this past year in Pennsylvania.
The address delivered by DR.. BuBois
lending aid and comfort to those who
favor segregation of colored children
in Pennsylvania schools, has shocked
and discouraged many Pennsylvania
members whose support of the n. a.
A. C. p. was based on their belief that
its stated object, "to combat the spirit
of persecution which confronts the
colored people of this land, safeguard
their full political, civil and legal
rights. and secure for them equality of
opportunity with all' other citizens"
was to be an ever-guiding star, not
temporary platform to be abandoned
whenever one of Dubois friends might
be embarrassed by it. Not all the CON
certed efforts of DIR. Pickens, Rev.
Bagnall and Walter White have been
able to offset the effects of DIR. Du-
Bois' blunder.
This is crucial moment for the n.
A. A. C. p. in Pennsylvania. 1t must
walk a straight road. Throwing up
"smoke screen" of social affairs, eX-
cursions and spell-binding oratory
will not save the day. The thousands
of dollars squandered in fine clothes,
automobiles and social gaieties last
Thanksgiving Day did us harm
enough.
Nothing but a frank reputation of
the stand taken by DIR. BuBois and
straightforward public rededication of
the n. A. A. C. p. to its original posi-
ton of Equality for all; no discrim-
nation on account of race or color"
will make of this annual convention
what it should be, another milestone
in the progress of the Negro.-Phila-
delphia Tribune.

Campbell and his deputies when they
made an official visit to the farm op-
Grated by the Negroes.
The brothers, Eugene, -, and Ma

State Farm for from two to three
years.
The babies are Emma Sue, months

Bobby Cloud, 3 months old. The en-

women said. "These white folks said

The Negroes are said to have fired

But in spite of this, he gave a letter
to the agent directed to Penitentiary
officials, asking that the family be
taeased kindly.

spirits his debtor.
What then, is the Negroes placer
We men and women of the white
race have treated the Negro badly
enough, God knows. We have laid viO-
lent hands upon him and taken him
from his home in Africa to serve us
as newer of wood and a drawer of
water in America. We have debauched
his women folk and then branded him
as immoral. We have in many in
stances kept him in ignorance and
then pronounced h i m hopelessly
stupid. President Motion of Tuskegee
is authority for the statement that for
100000 Negro children in the United
States, there are, even vet, no educa-
tional facilities provided. We have
treated the Negro badly enough. Has
not the time now come for us TO give
him a fair chance?
In his elouuent volume, "The Souls
of Folk" Burghardt Dubois says that
"Through all the sorrow of the Negroes
sorrow songs there breathes Il hope,
faith in the ultimate justice of things.
Sometimes it is a faith in life.
Sometimes Il faith in death. Some
times an assurance of boundless JUS
tice in some fair world beyond. But
whichever it is, the meaning is always
clear-that sometime, somewhere, men
will Judge men by their souls and not
by their skins"
Has not the time come for us to
Judge the Negro by his soul-his dem
onstrated capacity for cultural achieve
give him chance to reveal
what his true 'place" is in the fu-
ture of civilization?-Roc Mountain

DEMANDS FRANK REPUTATION OF
DUBOIS SEGREGATED POLICY
N A. A. c. p Must Maintain It's Position of Equality for
All or Fail Says Daniel Brooks Reynolds
School Head

THE expected annual convention Of
the n. a. A. C. p, planned to oc-
n cur in Philadelphia in few
days. is an event of great importance
far greater than most of us seem TO
realize. The n. A. A. G. Z. occupies
fine unique position of being the only
organization among colored people III
the United States which claims the au-
thority to speak the Will OF the
thoughtful and forward-looking col
ored people the country over. WHAT
it stands for is supposed by many
white people to be what the American
Negro stands for-what 1t acqulesces
in. the American Negro is supposed
tacitly to have agreed to endure.
The colored people of Philadelphia
therefore, have u right to expect from
the n. A. A. c. p. ut this convention
uneauivocal statements of position on
certain crucial questions now confront
ing the American Negro as whole
and the Philadelphia colored people IN
particular.
A nationwide compaign of segrega-
tion and limitation directed against
Nerroes was started in the border
states during the World War by those
who hated to see the Negro protlt d!
his sacrifices of blood and treasure
This tidal wave early reached Penn
svlvania and soon became evident III

efforts.

,,onio Negroes who love liberty are

THE NECRO'S PLACE
(By Ernest Fremont Tittle)

r REMEMBER reading some time
ago IL statement made by Profess
II sor Commons of the University of
Wisconsin to the effect that the
Teutonic race, until 800 years after
Christ, We're exceedingly primitive in
their civilization, vet had mental quail
tiles which made it possible for them
to absorb 'the highest Roman civiliza-
tiOn. And | was particularly impressed
with his assertion that could their
babies have been taken out of the for
est 1000 years ago and transplanted to
| the homes and schools of modern
America, they would have covered in
one generation the progress of twenty
centuries"
Well, you say, that may have been
possible in the case of the Teutonic
race, but it is by no means possible in
the cast of the Negro race. You might
say that if you did not know Blooah.
CHANGING through a pamphlet pub
lished by Garrett Biblical Institute, I
read with great surprise that the father
of one of its students had been a
village warrior" l learned later that
this student was young African
named Blooah and that he had a per-
fectly fascinating lecture entitled
From COcoanut Tree to College; and
that this lecture was the perfectly true
story of his own life. For he was,
quite literally, up in IL cocOanut tree
when he caught sight of the first
white man whom either he or any
member of his tribe had ever seen;
and today is doing postgraduate work
in an African theological school.
Blooah, n native African, as black as
midnight, has actually done what Pro
fessor Commons conjectured the babies
of the Teutonic race might have done
had they been taken out of the forest
1000 years ago and transplanted to
the homes and schools of modern
America. He has actually covered in
one generation the progress of twenty
centuries
How impatient we are with the
Negro. Only sixty years out of slav-
cry; yet we expect him to measure
up to the very highest standards of
white world culture. And because he
sometimes fails to do this, we jump to
the conclusion that he is an inherently,
and therefore permanent, inferior be-
ing who may be tolerated only if he
"keeps his place"
What is the Negroes "place?"
The youngest student ever to re-
ceive the degree of PHI. d. from the
University of PENNSYLVANIA was Harris
f. Blackstone, Il Negro.
In 1922, second on the list of 200
young medical students examined for
interneships at Cook County hospital
was DIR. Walter S. Grant, Negro.

of study, Smith College granted both

mara de Representatives, que es,
a mi entender, ell mas delicado y
de alta responsabilidad por ema-
mar, directamente, de la election
del pueblo, de quien es su legitimo

1.-Que tenga una arraigada,
sincera Y sufciente popularidad,
canada por sus meritos y por los
distintos servicios que ese mismo
pueblo ha prestado, en- los momen-
tos situaciones mas peligrosas en-
ell desarrollo politico del Pals.
2.-Debe ser un hombre de ca
racter serene, ceuanime sin prejui-
clos de ning1n genera, fuera de esa
parcialidad vulgarisima que han pa
decide algunos, dejandose dominar
por ambiciones particulares, infiu-
yendo, lucrandose del cargo.
3.-Y por dltimo debe tener una

da, sin dobleces de ninguna espo-
Gle, habiendo luchado en- forma des-
interesada, valiente y decidida por
ell bienestar de su Patria.
Por estas razoues, y, siendo como
