"Unite Or Die"

unite or DIE" proclaims Arlstide
BRAND to the upset statesmen OF
continental Europe.
The war-torn Far East echoes
the same challenging alarm.
Constant cable flashes show the
leaders of the South American cont
inent are becoming receptive to the
idea.
Unite or die is the moving power
ma Gandhi to history changing ac-
ton.
Unite or die Is not an empty state
ment. The leaders of thought
throughout the world appreciate its
value and strive to attain place in
the sun through union.
Unite or die-that IL the slogan
which should stir the Negro to new
life and action. It is the idea which,
If it permeates and fills his being,
will Garry him. 10 certain victory.
II electrified and will save India.
II made America q free and indie
sia's despotic rulers and gave France
q president.
The spirit Of the times shows the
American Negro he must either
unite or die. He must unity and
develop his resources or forever re-
main under the heel of his oppres-
sors. The present is full of tribula-
ton, terror and despair. Seemingly
inevitable bankruptcy faces the race
TO which he belongs. Why not
catch the spirit which has been used
by all people since the dawn of
civilization? in union there is
strength"
Although the blacks are a mi
nority group caught in the most
rapid changes civilization has made,
hampered with barriers and injus-
tice, they have grown from an In
FAINT to a giant people. They only
need united effort to carry them
across the goal. Once baptized in
the spirit and fully determined to
unite or die" the catastrophe
which menaces will disappear!
At the very root of the. present
chaotic condition lies the blind
stupidity +, which separates Negro
leaders into separate camps A
common sense program would unite
their activities. NJ is COVER ed.
wFonged, misnsed, denied, oppressed
by. joining hands they can put an
end to 1t all.
p And this Is the supreme challenge
which faces Negroes everywhere.
The Negro problem "-call 1t that
for the need of more descriptive
phrase-will and can only be solved
by the Negro.
Today he is stronger, broader,
wiser and more fitted to appreciate
the value of helping himself by
helping his race. Constantly ham
mering at this idea will ultimately
make the Negro close ranks and
abate the danger which turks within
their divided ranks.
The Negro must either unite or
die.
win he unite? Will he die?

Only One Cure

They are seeking the panacea for
the unemployment that now exists.
They might save that time. For
none exists. This depression is the
outgrowth of certain definite econ
omic ills. 1t will not pass until the
ills are cured.
Artificial stimulus will not do a
great deal of good. Time and read
justment must do the work. Last
year saw an orgy of buying, spend
ing and production. This year sees
the ills of overproduction and in
flation. Producing and selling all of
the radios that were needed In one
year put the radio business out OF
line for business for several years.
Over production always begets un-
derbuying later on.
But pessimism will not cure. For
that Is going as far to the other ex-
IRENE. 1t will take courage and.
willingness to buy whatever one
needs and can afford. 1t will take
normal spending and normal plan
ming for expansion. 1t will also
take the time necessary to sell and
use up the heavy inventories that
were produced far in excess of their
need And time alone can do that
task The overproduced things must
be used--worn out. Then and onl,
then can sound buying of them begin
anew Then and only then can sane
prosperity return. For the luxuries
and necessities are so blended to-
gether in the scheme of employment
that one is dependent upon the
other. Time and consumption alone
will do the job of bringing back nor
malcy.

Nv History Book!

My History Book!
My great big Modern History book
Did something strange one day!
As was starting to go home,
It came and blocked my way.
"Say, you forgot to take me, toow.
The lusty book cried out.
eff you should leave me, I'd be
blue
And wouldn't laugh or shout"
So took my history book
And tucked it under arm.
perhaps won't have time to look
But it won't do any HARM"
In History class the very next day
The teacher asked me twice,
"How much did Germany have to
pay %
And piped up, "The price!"
If Germany had to pay the price
"The price you'll have to pay"
And so for my not being nice,
After school l had to stay.
And so my History book went
home that week
And it didn't ask to go.
But if you should ask, "Did you
take a peek?"
My answer would be "No!"

Kasota's lookup is no longer a safe
place to keep any persons suspected
of breaking the law. This was effec-
lively demonstrated Tuesday night of
last week, when a transient found his
way out of Jail and made good his
escape. A tramp applied for free
lodging that night and was given the
use of the lookup. When questioned
about his name and his intentions he
gave suspicious contradictory state
ments, so it was thought best to turn
the key on him until his statements
could be looked into. The next
morning the coop was empty and the
bird had flown for parts unknown.
He made his escape by breaking two
locks and windows.
