GEORGE SCHUYLER SPEAKS
AGAINST HASTINGS
IN DELAWARE

New York, Oct. 24.-At the re-
quest Of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
George S. Schuyler, well known Me-
gro journalist and publicist, is
spanking on Sunday, Oct. 26, in Will
nlington, Delaware, to oppose the
reelection of Senator Daniel o.
Hastings, on the ground of his vote
to seat Judge John ]. Parker on the
Supreme Court. A number of N. A.
A. C. P. speakers have aided in the
anti:Hastings campaign in Delaware,
among them Messrs. Dubois, Bag
nall and Thomas.
In commenting on the Parker is
sue, Mr.. Schuyler said in part:
"a few months ago the Negroes OF
this country were confronted with a
challenging problem. The President
of the United States, Mr.. Herbert
Hoover. had appointed to the high
est tribunal of the land, The United
States Supreme Court, two-by-four
North Carolina lawyer. Mr.. Hoover
knew he was a two-by-four lawyer
and everyone also in the country
knew it, but Mr.. Hoover didn't care.
Judge John ]. Parker was and
is as opportunistic as President Hoo
yer. When he learned that he had
been named by President Hoover to
the exalted position of Supreme
Court Justice, he hustled about try
ing to get endorsements from lead
ing Negroes, despite the fact that
ten years previously when seeking
white votes to be elected Governor
of the State of North Carolina, ne
had stated that he wanted no Negro
votes and that he considered it a
grave mistake that the Negro was
in politics at all. In other words,
this Judge, John ]. Parker, Presi-
Dental appointee for the Supreme
Court Bench, was a man who did
not believe in the Federal Constitu-
ton he must swear to support and
on the basis of which he must con-
slider all cases that come before the
Court for review"
Calling the united action Of Amer
lean Negroes under N. A. A. c. P.
leadership for the defeat of Judge
Parker "a magnificent spectacle"
Mr.. Schuyler hailed it as "the begin
ming of a new day in the political
life of the Negroes in this country"
Referring to the pro-Parker vote OF
Senator Hastings, Mr.. Schuyler said
Senator Hastings spit in the faces
o. the Negroes of Delaware. He
ignored their pleas and lined him
self up with the President. The pol
icy of Mr.. Hoover then and now is
to break the Solid South by casting
the loyal Negro Republicans down
there into the trash can and picking
up the lily-white fair-weather Repup-
licans. Senator Daniel o. Hast
ings evidently stands with President
Hoover on this question of breaking
the politically Solid South by tossing
the Negro to the hounds Of Race
Prejudice. Senators Blease
and Heflin believe that Negroes &C
cused of certain crimes should be
lynched by blood-thirsty mobs, but
Hastings and Hoover believe that
the Negro should be politically
lynched by depriving him Of his
rights as citizen"
Only by rewarding their friends
and overthrowing their enemies
could Negroes safeguard their rights
and gain the respect of their fellow
citizens, declared Mr.. Schuyler in
concluding his address.

GUNDAY morning was out at the caddy
house bright and early. ducked the first
few calls, waiting for Probst and Swartz If
my idea was going to work out right wanted
to be in on the fireworks. Bob seemed to have
confidence in me and he really thought the
two old dodgers would hit It of all right and
he hoped to see combine come out of the
game.
And II they do and there is combine, I'll
see that you are made foreman and you can
give up packing pickles and clubs for living"
Bob had told me, so it seemed that out ON the
greens and fairways of the course there was to
be staged a golf game which would SETTLE my
destiny.
I wanted to help all I could The caddy
master sent me out with a couple of million
aire dubs and missed the match.
During the afternoon caught sight of the
two old buffers on the course. Everything
seemed to be going all right and as they came
into the eighteenth green was waiting below
the pro shop to be ready and smile my best
when the boss came up the hill toward the
club house.
Swartz was smiling as they left the green.
1t looked like they had gotten along all right,
so I walked right up to Mr.. Probst Bob held
his nose and gave me an eloquent gesture which
he meant for a warning, but thought he was
referring to the old mans game SO I breezed
right up and chirped:
We'll, Mr.. Probst, how's the game?"
"Game-game-gamel ne howls $50 there
you areP' And he makes q grab at me-
ducked under the fence.
Get out of my sight It's all your fault"
he walled, grabbing for his niblick, so I slid
around the corner of the pro shop and beat it,
wondering what on earth had happened. had
an idea I'd gotten in wrong somewhere.
was sitting down in the corner of the caddy
shed all detected like and burnt up when the
caddy master handed me a note. opened it
and there was the bad news. 1t read:
Better not show up at the factory in the
morning. Swartz talked Dad into playing for
rather heavy stakes and when the game was
over-wen, he won the factory. Dad blames
you! BOB"
So I m back caddying full time now, but I
never did like pickle packing anyway and I
still maintain that golf makes 'em goofyI

Timber in the South

THE South is approaching point where rs
virgin stands of timber face exhaustion,
and when that point has arrived, forest experts
predict that cut-over land will be revisited and
denuded Of what remains of timber that was
not removed in the first cutting. The serious
consequences of such a condition are empha-
sized by the Department of Agriculture which
is endeavoring to have the waste lands planted
with trees to meet situation which is believed
to be inevitable
To emphasize their warning forestry experts
point to the example of the Lake States which
were cut over so drastically as practically to
wipe out the forests, with decided economic
loss to thriving industries and great increase
in land taxes.

IT'S not his pickles." the kid answered
They're all right What's a pickle anyway?

Expect Bumper
Crop OF Melons

A bumper watermelon crop is ex-
pected this year, according to Harold
Hunt of Sawdey and Hunt, FL Cen
tro fruit and vegetable shippers.
Weather conditions are just right at
present for the growing vines and
by the middle of May or the first
of June shipping operations will be
in full swing. Hunt expects to ship
about 900 cars of watermelons tslis
season.
With but two weeks maining of
the cabbage season the supply at
present is holding out in excellent
shape. This is one of the biggest
seasonal shipments of this company
and the brand sent ont by them is
known far and wide for the excellen-
cy Of its flavor.
The shipments of carrots have
been resumed after brief letup and
it is expected that about 200 ears of
this vegetable remain to be shipped
under the S and d brand before
the final crate is packed and loaded.
While not making any rash pre-
dictions, Hunt is satisfied that the
present season will rank high in
valley shipments, both as to fruits
and vegetables. The lettuce season
has been top notch and he sees no
reasons why this success should not
be continued on through the fruit
shipping period.
