DEPRESSION AND DE-BUNK

While countless thousands are be-
moaning and bewailing the depres.
sion there goes on slowly and surely
hand in hand with the great calam.
ity, a general process of de-bunk-
irg. When everything was rosy and
prosperity reigned over the land
many creations caught the fancy of
the public. The depression has
stripped these creations bare and
now they stand before the eyes of
the world in all their stark, drab and
ugly nakedness. 1t has been revealed
and disclosed that they have been
clothed and draped in bunk - bunk
pure and simple. Many men in the
days gone by were heralded from
the house tops, their names were
synonymous with big money and big
business. 1t was said that they were
wizards. Everybody except a eau
tions discerning few believed that
they were inspired geniuses. They,
too, have been stripped of their
tawdry embellishments. The depres-
sion has caused them to be de-
bunked. This de-bunking process has
been going on with increasing rapid
ity and it, like the depression, has
not yet struck bottom. There is
going to be some more depressing
and some more de-bunking. In these
processes and their results the COL
ored people are most vitality con-
cerned.
With the explosion of prevailing
myths and fallacies. with the amaz-
ing revelation of the clay feet of
many of the human idols that we
have been prone to honor, revere and
worship there will be the dawning of
common sense - the kind that we
have lacked so long. There will be
less hero worship and the minds of
the people will be turned into chan
nels of right thinking and right liv-
ing. The colored people have been
lulled into positions of false security.
This they now know. The rainbow
trails have vanished and it is now
known that there never were any pots
of gold at their ends anyway. The
"get-rich-quick," who dazzled the
public and worked up their comrades
into frenzies of iealousies have been
brought back down to earth. Those
who scared high with their heads up
in the air also came down and took |
their rightful places along side with
the suffering and struggling masses.
They have been de-bunked. They |
now know, as does the public. that
either sudden sprout and growth was

steady Improvement, nevertheless
Nobody opposes any kind or type
of education for the Negro, and
Southern boards of education are in

teachers and giving preference to
those holding higher degrees. They

continued. at was, of course, much
behind the North to begin with and
is yet behind the North. But I
think the sentiment in the North is
more Indifferent than formerly and
is becoming more static"
Leaving out the present period
of economic depression, there is
every reason, so far as Negro in the
South is concerned, for optimism.
Despite the backwashes here and
there, the main current of progress
on the part of the Negro and the
general attitude of the South are
moving in the right direction"

Economic Warfare

Reports from all sections of the
country indicate the rapid develop
ment of a grave inter-racial conflict
as result of the acute unemploy-
ment situation which exists. T. Ar
mold Hill, industrial secretary of the
National Urban League reports an
organized and concerted effort
among employers of domestic and
unskilled labor, to supplant colored
workers with whites, leaving the un-
employed Negroes to the tender mer-
cles of an already overburdened
charity. In Detroit, Mich, hundreds
OF colored workers in stores and
manufacturing plants are being
dropped from the .payrolls with but
brief notice, only to find their places
filled by whites who have stood in
the bread lines and slept in the "flop
houses" of the city for weeks and
weeks. In Cleveland and in Indian
apolis, comes the report of wealthy
white women working to relieve the
suffering of their UNEMPLOYED
brothers and sisters, advising en-
ployers that their first duty is to
their own race, and recommending
that no Negro be given job so long
as white man or woman is out of
work. In Tennessee, impoverished
white tenant farmers, evicted from
the fields, are terrorizing colored
farm owners disguised as night
riders, warning them to desert their
farms and farm houses and flee from
the communities for the safety of
their lives. Several mysterious
shootings and burnings have given
point to the warnings. In Mississippi.
Georgia, and Alabama, colored rail
road firemen and brakemen, affil-
lated with labor unions, and enjoy
ing the privileges of their seniority
rights, have been shot and killed
while on the job, and many more
have received threatening letters
warning them to give up their jobs
and flee, leaving their jobs to be
filled by white workers. AS a result
of these threats. violence. and or
qanized discrimination against COL
ored workers on the job, a serious
situation impends, demanding some
decisive action and that soon.

Doubling Christianity

A few weeks ago at the closing
session of the Homes Mission Coun-
Gil and the Council of Women for
Home Missions, much concern was
expressed over the Negroes attitude
toward Christianity, the consensus
being that the race was losing its
religion. A resolution was passed
favoring a larger representation of
Negroes on committees.
A larger representation on COM
mittees may prove helpful if the Ne
groes selected have the courage to
tell the white members the truth
without mincing words. Just such
incidents as the Shameful treatment
to which the two colored girls were
subjected at Unity Inn in Kansas
City, make us scoffers and skeptics
of Christianity as some white people
interpret its application.
You can't lynch, cheat, have one
standard for white women and an
other for colored women, humiliate
end degrade a people because of
their color, and then expect them TO
believe in your religion. Human be-
ings do not react in that manner.

It's poor dog who doesn't wae
his own tail.
Remember that, when Arthur Bris-
baine, white, tells you in the Hearst
papers that ninety-eight out of a
hundred of the greatest men had
light eyes (grey or blue).
He names among the light-eyed
Caesar and Alexander the Great,
Rockefeller, Ford, Edison, Lincoln,
Washington, jefferson, Dempsey,
Sullivan and Terry McGovern, the
last three, boxers.
If we had made out the list of
dark-eyed great men, we would have
named Mohammed and Confucius,
Hannibal, Aristotle, Cyrus, Bee
thoven, Wagner, Shakespeare, Jack
Johnson, Joe Cans and Young Peter
Jackson, the last three, boxers, and
figuring out the hundred greatest
men of the Orient we would have
boastfully declared that ninety-eight
out of the hundred had dark eyes.

Motions Letter

DR.. n. r. Motion in an open letter
to the south urges patience and
consideration" on the side of the
white people and diligence and fru-
gality on the part of the colored
people. DR.. Motion further stated
that "he believed that there is
enough common sense among the
leaders of both races of the south
to adjust their problems and diff
culties without the Intervention Of
outsiders who know nothing of the
local situation and care less for the
genuine interests of the race" Just
why DR.. Morton adheres to the opin-
ion that outsiders, or people living
out of the south should not intercede
is beyond our comprehension. Nor

tremely active i'll fighting for Fed
eral intervention against lynching.
against peonage. the crop lien sys-
tenn, the commissary practices and
in fact against all of the multifa-
rious iniQuities perpetrated against
our people. The northern whites
interviewed to build up our schools.
to establish our charities and to abol-
ish slavery. If there has ever been
any indication on the part of south
ern whites to give the colored people
substantial political and economic
equality we have vet to see it. The
open letter of DR.. Motion is merely
an incoherent iargon of words with
out frankness and courage. It re-
trenches the white man in his dis
position to exploit us and it rein
forces the inferior complex of our
people. DR.. Motion, who is hammered
by his living in the south would bet
ter serve his people by saying moth
ing and writing nothing.

of mushroom quality. Most of those

magnified their holdings and struck

For a while many of those who

of the enterprises that were praised
and honored by our people before
the depression brought about the de-

In the process of de-bunking all
the ideas of the exaggerated wealth

no longer believed that there is a
whole lot of wealth locked up and
controlled by favored few of our
race. 1t is now known that the actual
and potential wealth of our people
lies and rests in the hands of work
ers and toilers. The wealth of our
people lies in the earning power of

Let's Honor Douglass

Reports from various cities, botl
north and south, reveal a current
movement among certain groups of
coiored people toward the establish.
ment of national memorial day in
honor of the late Julius Rosenwald,
Jewish business magnate and philan-
thropist, W h o s e donations for
schools, hospitals, libraries, Y. M.
c. A. buildings social welfare CEN
tiers and scholarships exclusively for
colored people have m him an
outstanding figure in American life.
Proponents for the Rosenwald Me-
mortal Day plan contend that the
philanthropist's activities for the
betterment and development of the
Negro set him up as the greatest and
most outstanding figure in our racial
progress, and that accordingly, as a
grateful people, Negroes should rally
to the move to dedicate a day of
celebration to his honor.
Without in the least attempting to
minimize or detract from the good
which the late Rosenwald has done
through the judicious use of his
wealth for the development of Ne
SiNSo anu NtBIO lilStlluJlOilS, we
take issue with the claim that he rep
resents the greatest single factor in
our upward climb and h d first
claim to the honor of national me-
mortal day in the calendar of Negro
activities. That honor, we sincerely
believe, rightfully belongs to one
who devoted his entire life unself-
ishly and unswervingly to the free
dom and development of the colored
race--a Negro himself = Frederick
Douglass.
The great good which Rosenwald
accomplished for our benefit is sui
lied on every hand by adherence to
the principle of segregation, dis
elimination, and the maintenance of
the Negro as pacific and dependent
minority in American life. No such
stain is attached to the memory of
Douglass. The memory of Rosenwald
will be kept green by the honor of
his own people as great business
man, philanthropist, and Jewish
leader. Our first duty is TO our own
let these efforts of the benefited
few among US be better dedicated
to organizing the inchoate warnings
of black millions to do fitting honor
