the privilege of shaving together, un-
der the severest exploitation of the
bosses.
America is famous for her public
schools, and the education given free
to all. Let us now compare the
illiteracy among the whites and the
Negroes.
The illiteracy among the whites is
only 40 per cent of the entire popu-
lation, while the illiteracy among the Z
Negroes is 22.9 per cent. Why is it.
It is because first, not as much
money is spent for the Negro schools
as for the schools of the white chill
dren, and second, because the Negro
youth has to leave the schools much
sooner and already in the early age,
carry upon themselves the respon-
sibility of his own upkeep.
There is only one time when no
exceptions are made, and that is when
the question of protecting America.
property is coming up. That is tho
only time when the Negro youth is
reminded of being citizen of this
great democratic country, and appeals
are made to him to join the army.
navy, etc. and not let this country
be ruined by foreigners.
What is there for the Negro youth
and for the adult Negro to do? How
can they solve their problem? The
Negro youth ought to once for all
understand that their emancipation
is closely linked up with that of the
entire working class. That they must
fight first the battle of all the " ,rk-
ers OF this country, fight for their
organization on class basis, for their
admission into the trade unions and
organize themselves into a strong
class organization, which will be able
to wage a fight against the entire
capitalist system, and only then their
problems will be solved.
