Who Laughs Last

quired an effective poor house COM
prising 80 per cent of the popula-

This was President Hoover's COM
ment after visiting the West Indies
in 1928. He had not then taken
office but had defeated Al Smith
for the presidency in an election
in which the people of this country
voted overwhelmingly for him.
To himself he may have seemed
a superman. He was on top of the
world The nation was at his feet.
Four years pass, and the people
who put him in office overwhelming
ly vote him out. No superman now
Mr.. Hoover is a plain mortal
Human and altogether under
standable is it that the Virgin Is
landers, remembering the unwar-
ranted bad manners of Mr.. Hoover
in 1928. should in 1882 wire Gov
ernor Roosevelt, the Hoover con-
queror;
"Hoover's poorhouse unanimously

another attempt was made by Lee

marked up against him. And so it
was later in Madrid.

danced only 500 hours to win the

No Negro Depression

Young Peoples Forum in New York

Not only are colored women carry

ing that.
Mr. Carter estimated that there
are 11,OO0,oso people out of work.
Asked for the remedy, he said,
Dream, hope. work"
There is a way out of our diff
culties, and it is mp to Us TO find it.
Colored workers. because they are
lowest paid and barred from many
Industrial, commercial and public
positions, suffer more than white
workers, but we all suffer
All of us are so tied together and
interdependent that if We can't pay

No, there is nothing racial in the

with the idea of promoting mara

eight years ago, rests that crown.
It was not an easy crown to win

too many sleepless days and nights

itself was unusual enough but Le-
