The inferiority complex which is
forced upon the Southern Negro ex-
plains his attitude towards his own
female kind. He accepts the white
mans evaluation of colored woman
hood as well as of other things in
life. 1t also explains in part the
difficulties of competent Negro
leadership in the South. A Negro
leader is not acceptable to certain
part of the race until the white
folks have put the seal of approval
upon him. This means that he must
be 'safe and sane" according to the
most orthodox and fundamentalist
viewpoint of the average Southern
white. This inferiority feeling also
partly explains the willingness and
frequency with which colored women
enter into misalliances with white
men, though the economic phase of
the matter is highly important and
must not be forgotten.

meeting, on January Oath, for Julio

in one of the largest theatres in
Mexico City and was packed to the
doors on the call issued by the Com
mittee of ,Proletarian Defense.
The death of Julio Antonio Mella
has been keenly felt by the masses
in Mexico. Great demonstrations
have been held under the leadership
of the G. P. of Mexico. His pic
ture is to be found everywhere. At
the meeting the very poorest masses
were present and one could see they

This prejudice on the part of the
whites is also caused by fear. Con-

but quake at the thought of retail

sadistic orgies as the lynching and

Red Picket Lines
BY HENRY REICH, Jr.

Here see the lines that mark the sharp divide
Between the master and the working class,
Where stand these men and women on the side
Of Labor shouting "Ye shall never pass"
No beat of drums, no bugles shrilly crying
Assemble these red hosts in fully array
Though some are weak and sick and some are dying
Yet on they press unarmed into the fray.
Though nlaces swing and bayonets are flashing
Across their way, the pickets firmly stand
Against the brunt What though harsh taunts are lashng
The placards make reply in steady hand
Though rain sharp blows upon defenceless heads
And fly the bullets from the gangsters' guns,
Though every heart is filled with nameless dread,
Still stand the rickets-those unflinching ones
This is the front line in the Of classes,
This is the battle ground where labor fights.
Here 'gainst the few, defiance by the masses
Is flung and these no longer seek their rights.
Defiance and challenge here are flung
Against the bulwarks of society.
What though our leaders have been shot or hung,
Still others rise to take their places See!
The Red Flag flies above the sturdy lines,
Advancing ever in the fiercer fray
While over all the Star of Russia shines
And marks the dawning Of the Workers Day

spite of the overwhelming evidence
against him and the tremendous in
dignation of the masses, however,
the murderer has just been freed by
the Mexican government. This is
the answer of the fascist to the
revolutionary mass movements just
generated by the C. P. More mur-
ders are expected.
The death of J. A. Mella has been
great blow to the Communist
movement in Latin America. In the
loss to the Parties, Mella's death can
be compared to our own Ruthenberg.
Far from desponding, however, the
comrades have but closed their
ranks. Hundreds of new members
have now joined the Party. The
revolutionary situation is growing
more acute. The Party carries on.

ARTICLE 7.

1t was my honor and privilege
By JOHN H. OWENS

The rapid industrialization of the
south is creating a new and complex
problem for the Communist Party.
Prior to the 1928 presidential cam
paign, no really serious attempts
had been made by the Party to in
wade the "solid" south, this phase of
the work being limited to such the
oretical slogans as "abolish lynch
ing" "full social equality" abolish
Jim Crowism. The realization of
a concrete program for this section
of the country will require the
earnest consideration of the best an
alytical minds of the Party.
Contrary to the general concep-
tion, even among Communists, the
vast majority of southern Negroes
are not revolutionary, not even rad
ical. Given a moiety of peace, prop
erty and security, they are content
to drift through life. Not that they
are devoid of ambition-rather the
Opposite, but this ambition smacks of
accepted American traditions of in
dividualism, getting on in the world,
highly competitive effort and the
like. With all it's social and polit-
ical restrictions, the south can boast
of a rising class of black bourgeois
elements.
Another theological factor which
must be given close attention is the
peasant psychology possessed by
many Negroes. This reflected in
their social outlook, tendency to
ape, frequently to exaggerate, the
manners and morals, the prejudices
and political theories Of the ruling
caste.
The average southern white is an
inferior individual who attempts to
hide his inferiority complex by a
pretentiousness Of manners, an as
sumed superiority based upon color
only and, therefore, the inherent in
feriority of the black race.
The rural Negro is frequently pre-
JUDGED against the town Negro and
adopts patronizing attitude toward
educated Negroes" This is but the
reflex Of the white planters psychol-
ogy who doubts the wisdom of edu-
eating his "niggers." In his opinion,
it makes him uppish, refractory and
generally untrustworthy as good
field hands. Education puts social
equality notions in a nigger's head
Thus the Negro manhood Of the
south is individualized and degraded
until it accepts as natural and in
cvitable such derogatory institutions
as concubinage. peonage, chain
gangs, segregation and a host Of
other fostering evils which are
damning indictments Of white cap
italist civilization in America. By 9

Mella) and Penichet of the Associa-
ton of Cuban Political Emigres in
Mexico. The speeches, which
touched on Mella's life and work
and the meaning of his murder, were
received with much feeling by the
audience. One could almost see them
clench their fists and swear to
avenge the murder of their leader.
That Mella was politically mur-
dered is now established beyond a
shadow of a doubt. The policeman

crop (cotton), changing farming
conditions in the south, concentra-
ton of land ownership and mechani-
zation of farming), are potent forces
tending to weed out the poor and
inefficient owners both black and
white and reduce the number of
agricultural laborers needed to
work the productive acreage. These
dispossessed ruralites become a
part of the city proletariat and are
absorbed by the expanding indus
tries of the South: the mines, the
mills, the factories.
In an article "The North and the
South Today" Current History
Magazine for November, 1927, the
author has this to say:
Now, Southern enterprise and
Northern capital combining have
made the South the outstanding
commercial wonder of the day.
For example, line of creamer-
les, backed by Northern capital,
stretches from Washington to New
Orleans and the great Southern
hydr0electric development has
likewise been brought about large
ly by New York, Philadelphia and
Boston money. . !. One by one
the smaller Southern industries
are being strengthened or ac-
quired by Northern capitalists.
In Randolph County, North Caro-
lima, fifteen of the seventeen cot
ton mills have been purchased
with Northern capital and in Sell
ma two of the three and this is
typical of the condition through
out the South. In fact. un0b-
trusive forces are everywhere at
work breaking down the barriers
and soon the last one will have
fallen.
"Just as soon as the Negro
taboo and the fundamentalist re-
ligious taboo disappear, we may
expect Party lines to disappear
also. North and South Carolina
with more spindle hours than
Massachusetts will not continue
to blow hot and cold on election
days.
But the Southern states, though
natiOnalized and cooperative are
still conservative, more so, per-
haps than those of the North be-
cause of the absence Of the foreign
element. They are far removed
from Sovietism or Red Repub-
licanism and they respect the
courts and love the Government"

PLANS COMPLETED
FOR FISHING JAUNT

All arrangements have been COM
pleted for the second de luxe fishing ex-
cursion to Wachapreague, Va, next
Sunday morning. A big bus, accommo-
dating 80 passengers, will be waiting for
the anglers in front Of the Atlas Sports
Goods Store ready to start promptly at
6 am.
Ollie Atlas, under whose direction the
trip will be held, has arranged for a
hot lunch to be served at the Chantry
House, in Salisbury, and a good dinner
to be ready when the anglers arrive at
Wachapreague in the evening.
Atlas has been also successful in OBJ
tanning the services of the same bus
driver who did so much for the comfort
of his passengers last trip.
The party will erturn home Wednes-
day.
In anticipation of the big catch Of
trout, kingf1sh and other denizens of
the deep, the anglers are requested to
carry as little baggage as possible in
order to have more room for their
catches. There will be a large number
OF bags to bring home the fish, hence
the desire to conserve all the space.
Buck Parker, one of the boatmen ct
Wachapreague, writes Atlas, stating
that the fishing is the best it has been
for years. He said his party caught SO
trout Wednesday, weighing from to 10
pounds. and that very few Of them were
small ones.
