NEW MINISTER TO HAITI

Washington -(CNS)- President
Hoover has appointed Dana G. Mum
70 as Minister to Haiti. Of this
appointment the New York Herald
Tribune says:
although only thirty-eight years
old, Mr.. Muno has gifts which can
leave no doubt in any ones mind as
to his ability to. deal with the deli
cate Haytian situation. He not only
likes the Caribbean peoples and gets
along well with them, but he has
a deep and scholarly knowledge OF
their history. In fact, his own his
tory of the Central American repub-
lies, written while he was a uni
versity student, is still the standard
work on a subject about which many
Americans know only too little.
Mr.. Munro served with distinction
as chief of the division of Latin
American affairs in the State De-
partment and, as counselor of lega-
tibn, was of invaluable assistance
during the troublous times in Nicar-
aqua. He replaces an American mis-
sion which has. done much for Hayti
and he can be counted on so to con-
duct. himself as to win the respect
of the Haytians and the approval
of his countrymen,

of the Negro officers of the Tenth
U. S. Cavalry situated at Fort

possible for lectures to the Tenth

would join the N. A. A. c. P.

could come.
One member of the regiment
writes: "You certainly did US a
lot of good by the visit you paid
us in March. People outside for
get the men in the army, when
rendering social service.
Nobody else could have ex-
done it. Since you wrote the Pres

COLOR BAR FORMING NEGRO ECO.
NOMIC BLOC SAYS CARTER

Springfield, Mass, July IA Negro
economic bloc is being formed in this
country by the labor and economic bar
riers erected against colored Americans,
according to Elmer A. Carter, editor
of Opportunity magazine, who last
night addressed the National Associa-
ton for ire Advancement of Colored
People now in session here.
"The possibilities inherent in the
race consciousness of twelve million Ne
groes are stupendous for good and for
evil" said Mr.. Carter. Economic pres
sure will be able to DO in ten years
what petitions and threats have failed
to do in half century. A black bloc,
up to this time as undesirable as it was
unattainable because of the eternal
hope of the Negro for a better day
may now be in the process of forma-
|tion."
Mr.. Carter attributed the formation
of such a Negro economic bloc to the
discrimination prevalent against Ne
groes, and said: "Many things point to
a growing racial consciousness on the
part of the black Americans: 1. The
fierce and almost frantic urge which
agitates the black world over the right
and opportunity of Negroes to work
in those enterprises which derive all
or part of their income from black
folk, chain stores, retail establish
ments, and the National public utili-
ties; 2. The desperate effrt of the
National Negro Business League to
organize black entrepreneurs into CO.
operative purchase units; 8. The iso-
hted but significant efforts of Negro
workers to organizeo such occupations
as Pullman porters and such trades as
the BARRIERS desuite the calloused in
difference of the A. F. Of l..
GAIL these things point to growing
racial consciousness on the part Of the
| black Americans. 1t is racial con-
seriousness nurtured not from within
by the spiritual forces of an ambitious
and hopeful and happy people, but in
duced from without by the pressure OF
the color line.
Negro "Facing Reality"
st signifies he realization on the
part of black America that up to this
time their quest for economic freedom
as a race has been futile. 1t means
that the dreams which were fostered
by the early abolitionists and early
Negro leadership of entrance in the So
called precincts of democracy where
thrift and honesty and capablllty
would be the open sesame to complete
participation in the economic rewards
of American life are disappearing.
at means that the Negro is begin
ng to face reality"

Gay Twitty Fined S. In Park Case
Park Policeman Moore Freed Of Charge Of
Administering Beating To hlgh Sch9c Girl

The case Of Miss Gay Twitty,
14-year-old high school girl, who
was arrested in Monroe Park,
after being roughly handled by
Park Policeman A. L. Moore,
and tie case against Officer
Moore, charged with undue
roughness toward Miss Twitty
were heard by Justice j. Hoge
Kicks in Juvenile Court last
Saturday. The Planet has been
informed that Miss Twitty was
fined S. and costs and the
charges against the officer were
dismissed.
Attorney Alfred j. Cohen re-
presented the girl and it is said
that the City Attorney repre-
sented the Park Officer. 1t was
further reported that several
white boys said the girl hit the
policeman and from the tenor of
reports it would seem that she
beat said policeman severely; in
fact, we are supposed to believe
that if help of some kind had
not arrived, the policeman by
now would have sprouted angel
wings and assumed his place in
the heavenly choir.
On the other hand, Miss
Twitty declares that as she was
defending herself from an at
tack by some white boys, the
policeman rushed up, slapped
her and then beat her.
Knowing Judge Kicks as we
do, we are sure that from the
evidence as he heard it and in
accordance with the application
of the law, he had no other al
tentative but to do as he did.
But there are many citizens who
are asking The Planet if it is
not possible to have the matter
carried before a jury and that
proper presentation of the case
in all of it's aspects be made.

NEGRO IMPROVES WHITE
CIVILIZATION" DECLARES COLONEL
j. E. SPINGARN

Springfield, Mass, June 90 That tn
American Negro is able not alone to
maintain and defend but even to Sim
prove" white civilization was the assert
]. E. Spingarn, of New York, addressing
the opening mass meeting of the Nation
al Association for the Advancement of
Colored People whose 21st Annual Con-
ference Will be in session here through
July 1.
1.-THE white South is forever talking
Of being white civilization ;" declared
Colonel Spingarn, endangered by the
threat of Negro supremacy" But the
last twenty years have shown that the
Negro is able to maintain and defend
our white civilization yes, even to
improve it.
"This white civilization is his as mush
as ours, for much thot is fine and
distinctively American in it is his own
contribution; and if this National Asso-
tiation for the Advancement Of Colored
People has accomplished anything it
has been to prove that white civilization
10 safe in the hands Of colored American
Colored Spingarn said in his address
that the past twenty-one years during
which the Association has been active
"are perhaps the most epoch-making
period in the history Of the Negro race
and continued;
Individual Negroes throughout the
course of history have attained distin-
ction and many held political office dur
ing the Reconstruction period with the
white bayonets. But the last twenty
years have seen the Negro take his
full place in a white civilization for the
first time in history in every field OF
activity, cultural, practical and jolitical
and win his victories by his own force
and by the methords developed by the
white civilization 1t self.
"Howshall this great work DO further
deysloped There are some who be-
lisys that the hope Of the Southern Ne
gro lies In allying himself with the poor
whites against the wealthy white class
O. Of the South; there are others who
thinks that the Negro race as whole
should make common caue with the
white liberal and tn white radical.
bring q warning against this false hope
and shollow doctrine. The Negro race
should confirm every element that goes
to make up great race. 1t should
have conservatives and radicals, rich and

at should develop every distinction
NJ culture and character that any human
ra.s 4. capable Of; It should not only

LII. B., D. D.
The Baptist General Association
has just closed one IF the most up
lifting and inspiring sessions in its
history. The body met at Salem,
Va, June II, at which time the
Women's Auxiliary met also. The
total amount of money raised by
the two bodies at this session was
about five thousand dollars. Three
thousand dollars had been sent up
during the year, making a grand
total of eight thousand dollars.
These organizations made a pro-
found impression upon the citizens
of Salem, both white and colored.
Their care was well looked after
by DR.. J. T. Johnson, pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Salem, as
sisted by Rev. Stevens of the Shi-
lob Church and the entire city.
Mrs. Margaret R. johnson, of
Richmond, was elected to head the
women for the thirty-first time.
These bodies meet in Richmond in
1881 with the Moore st. Baptist
Church of which DR.. G. B. Han
cock is pastor. Rev. Ransome was

INTERRACIAL CONFERENCE
CLOSES WITH PLANS FOR
STUDY AND ACTION

Obelin, Ohio.-That the women at
tending the Tird General Interracial
Conference Of Church Women at
Oberlin College could themselves
revolutionize the world in its atti-
tudes on race relations was the chals
longing statement lof DR.. Leslie
Pinckney Hill in the closing address
of the conference. DR.. Hill, who
is principal of the Cheyney Training
School for Teachers near Philadel-
phia went on to show that the atti
tude of white American women tour
lists in Europe is responsible for
growing discrimination shown to
Negroes in London, Paris and Rome,
where formerly they had real free
dom of action, and no amount OF
education, cultural training and eX-
perience or money can make the
American Negro really free in his
native country. While recognizing
the need for group study and action,
DR.. Hill stated that it is after all
the attitude of the individual that
settles the great social problems OF
the world and he urged his hearers
to adopt this pledge-"Where / stand
all shall be right"
At this last session the conference
adopted the findings from the dis
cussion periods Of the past two days.
The aim of these discussions has been
to find the methods by which church
women may work effectively for bet
ter race relations. (The findings are
attached).
In commenting on the conference
Miss Katherine Gardner, Secretary
of the Church Women's Committee of
the Commission on Race Relations,
Federal Council of Churches, which
held the conference, said "This gath
ering marks a distinct advance over
the two previous ones, both in num-
bers and in spirit. 1t is significant
that more than a hundred leading
church women, representing both
races in equal proportion and COM
ing from a widespread territory,
have met here for the past three days
not as eMthodists, Baptists or Pres
byterians; not as Negroes or whites
but as a united group of Christian
women who are earnestly working
for the application of Christ's teach,
ings to the race problems of Ameri.
ca. The delegates have come, and
some at real personal sacrifice, from
states as far away as Texas, Mis-,
souri,, Florida, Massachusetts, Min
nesota and Iowa. Nearly half the
states of the Union are represented
here and the influence of this con-
ference will extend throughout the
entire Nation. Even while lie have
been in session some of the delegates
have gotten together as denomina'
tional groups to plan what they car
do Immediately in their own denomi,
nations. One such group listed nine
points of attack and planned just
how they would go about it."
In addition to DR.. Hill, the speak
ers at the conference were Dean
Luck D. Stowe of Howard Univer.
sity and DR.. Will w. Alexander OF
the Commission on Interracial Co
operation with headquarters at At

cement of Colored People by Irving T.
Nntt of that city.
The trouble origanited in the crow
ing to the curb oe an automobile
containing three colred men. When
they protested to the white woman
crowding them, a white police officer
had them taken to the police station
in patrol wogon where the colored
men were beaten with fists and rub
Der hose. Mr.. Mutt reports:
When all three had been dragged
into one cell, the officer went in and
beat up again with the rubber hose.
One officer assisted, others had black
kjacks. These men were not allow
ed to communicate with anyone. Mon
day morning they were hauled before
the police judge. The officer test
flied that these men had insulted his
wife. The Judge asked if they plea
ded guilty or not guilty. They said
not guilty. The judge then stated
that he would teach them not to be
them $500 and sentence them to 30
days in Jail. They were led away to
their cells. l might also state the
Judge used an oath GS5en court
as to these men. After remaining
in their cells for little while, Judge
