different attitude towards the girl.
She was member of the st. Paul A.
NJ. E. Sunday school, she wore nice
clothes and she had a daddy and a
mother who were really good to her.
She was even invited to the kiddy
parties.
Mother Causes Trouble
But nothing good lasts-at least
it didn't to Louise. Her own mother,
while she never took any care of the
child. hated to see the new grandeur
which had come to her offspring, es-
pecially with colored people. SO she
began making things so uncomfort-
able for the child with her interior
ing and demands that she ought to
have her "own child" that the
Thompsons, tired of the constant
nagging, were obliged to give the lit
tie girl to her white parents.
And now Louise is right back
where she was before, back in the
white home of questionable charac-
ter. And the little tot is at present
faced with the same racial problem
that was hers formerly.

Cause Trouble
For Migrants
Continued from Page u

tCoHtiHueO from rage II
And what seems strangest of all
these crowded congested neighbor-
hoods of the North seem to destroy
that socialableness and good feeling
which are the reputed chief group
asset of colored America Perhaps
the old saying that Familiarity
breeds contempt" can be stretched
to mean that too much familiarity
breeds friction and crime Certainly
court records of the big cities show
that where population is densest
among our group, crime is at its
worst.
Easy Money
After the menace of the rooming
house and the congested neighbor-
hood comes that other pitfall for
unwary feet-the itch to make easy
money.
Why is 1t that so many apparent
ly sensible persons fall so heavily
for the urge to use their wits at
the expense of their fellowmen? Lots
of our folk who arrive North with a
background of good home training,
and with background of hard, hon
est toll, try Immediately to get in on
some easy money game.
They never succeed! They know
nothing of the complicated technique
of the Northern underworld. They
have no connections of a strong gang
nature. They know only few sur
face tricks and subterfuges. They
pretty soon run afOul of the law
and spend the best years of their
lives in prison. If it takes five gen.
erations to make a gentleman, it re-
quires at least two generations to
make a gentleman-slicker.
The Aged Auto
Although brought in last for con-
|sideration, not the least among the
trouble-makers in the big centers is
the secondhand auto. Perhaps it Is
a laudable idea for even the poorest
individual to try to own car, and
yet II this individual can't afford
to see after the competency of his
brakes, or isn't accustomed to heavy
city traffic, or is fresh from the in
frequented 70 d s of some small
Southern community, he had better
choose the wiser part and invest his
money in street car fares.
The courts of our Northern and
Eastern cities are filled with cases
against those whose secondhand
Fords and Bucks have become I'M
manageable on some congested pub
lie highway. Back of the criminal
charges growing out of these cases
are generally found these salient
truths: Our cars as a rule are old
and unreliable; we carry with us on
our auto trips too many uncles and
aunts, and too many of our own
and our neighbors' children; and we
unfailingly try to hit up a 16-cylin-
der pace with less than four-cyl-
inder machine.
Spread Out
If some of us who live in the big
centers of the country wish to make
a set of really worthwhile New
Years resolutions, we should right
away resolve to spread out as far
as possible from congested streets
and neighborhoods; should resolve
not to attempt the alluring "easy
money" game and we should doubly
resolve to pass up the offer of the
individual who tries to sell us an
$500 car for forty bucks.

m OCTOBER 10th, the New York
" Times and the Amsterdam News,
bourgeois Negro newspaper, ran a
Berlin communication from H. L.
Moon and r. r. Preston, formerly
members of the cast of Black and
White, purporting to explain the
cessation of activity of this film
"a Soviet movie designed to expose
the oppression of Negro workers in
America and throughout the world.
The dispatch declared that 1.-THE
film was abandoned for fear it
might offend American sensibilities
and interfere with the movement
-. a.. for the recognition of the So
Wet government, a betrayal of
100000 Negroes in America and
all the darker exploited colonial
peoples of the world"
The facts of the case are simply
that the film has been delayed be-
cause of an inadequate scenario and
other technical difficulties. The
charges are patiently ridiculous
ISLANDERS in view of the fact that
"MeTa phom" film producers of this
film, have never before hesitated to
expose and cry out against class
oppression and imperialism as brut-
ally practiced by the capitalistic
countries of the world.
