SAYS DEPR|EST

BALTIMORE, Md, Especially
I'VE don't want social equality.
but equal opportunity" declared
Congressman Oscar DePriest in
an attack on Communism before
the Young Peoples City Wide
Forum, Friday evening at the
Bethel A.M.E. Church.
Rushed by an official engage
ment In Washington, the legis-
lator stressed the lack. of con-
fidence as one of the group s
greatest handicaps, touched up
on educational and political in
equalities, and urged self-reli-
ance as a means to solve many
of the groups problems.
II do not know what the Roo
sevelt administration is going to
do" said Mr.. DePriest, but let
US hope 1t will find solution
to make times better for all the
people,"
Can Take Care OF Self
Directing himself to Commun-
ism, the Congressman said:
1.-The white man is holding
up that the colored man wants
social equality. Persons who say
that you want to associate with
some one else are indirectly tell
ing you that you are inferior.
l do not think the colored man
of America thinks anyone is his
superior. Some one else may
have had superior advantages,
but all things being equal, | am
perfectly satisfied that the color
ed man will take care of him
self.
II want to urge those of my
group to watch the false gods,
Communism is making Roadway
among our people because they
do not know which way to turn,
Any man who believes there is
God cannot afford to follow
Communism, for 1t is against
the teachings of God. There's
strong movement to teach
Communism to our young folk
They are even sending them to
Moscow and other universities
to be educated in Communism
1.-The Communists are trying
to hold up social equality to get
us into the party. What we
want most is not social equality
but equality of opportunity, whe-
Their it be in politics. religion,
or business life."
Ridicules Race Worship
Directing himself to a critical
analysis of the race, Congress
man DePriest declared:

A Solution

1t is my belief that a depend
able guarantee to the depositors
would materially help to pro-
mote recovery from the depres-
sion. If our banking institu-
lions were forced to guarantee
the depositors they would have
no fear of a run on the bank.
Consequently, the banks would
not carry the heavy reserve of
cash on hand to avert a condi-
tion of this kind. 1t would also
bring out money from its hid
ing place by those who have lost
or have the fear of losing should
they deposit it in some bank.
We are well aware of the fact
that many bank failures are the
cause of the present popularity
of boarding money.
We are forced to admit that
We have highly specialized
trade now operating in this coun-
try under the name of Rack
eteering. and we know that this
has demoralized all kinds of bu-
siness in the country. am
quite sure this has seeped into

great temptation during our
prosperity. 1t has proved to be

SC0TTSB0RO BOYS WIN VENUE CHANGE
HILL REPORTS
CONDITIONS BAD
down IN SOUTH

NEW YORK-T. Arnold Hill,
director of the Department of
Industrial Relations of the Ma
tional Urban League, is on his
way back TO New York after a
trip of 5000 miles throughout
the South for the purpose Of
studying at first hand the con
ditions of une Employment and re
lief.
In a statement issued just be
fore leaving Minneapolis, Mr..
Hill said;
No city in the South appear
ed on the upgrade. All individ-
uals with whom | conferred
thought conditions were grow
ing worse. This is probably
true in the South to an extent
1t is not true in the North, for
the reason that the South did
not begin to feel unemployment
as quickly as did the North.
When relief committees were
dispensing food and jobs in Chi
cago, New York and Detroit,
most of the Southern communi-
ties had not experienced unem-
ployment sufficiently to make
such measures necessary. Prac-
tically every agency in the South
is increasing its case load daily,
and in no place is relief ade-
quate.
THE Negro is being entirely
neglected no place. He gets far
from his share of relief through
out the Southern area, but in
some few cities, notably Dallas
and Tampa, an attempt is made
to aid Negroes on the same bas-
II whites are helped. The rate
of pay for work relief is the
same and the need of the group
is the basis for aid, rather than
its population ratio as is found
in so many cities.
When asked about the future
relationships between Negroes
and whites in the South, Mr..
Hill said;
Nothing Like Adequate
Although there are a number
of fair-minded white people In
the South, public opinion has not
yet been aroused to the point
where Negroes receive anything
like adequate treatment either
in employment or in relief. The
Negro Is being mercilessly crush
ed by the very force of the eco
nomic disaster coupled with his
inferior status throughout the
South. Only an aroused public
opinion, nationwide in scope, can
effect a change in the conditions
which exist at the present time.
| feel that the liberal white peo-
pie of the South should have
the moral support of liberal
white and colored people every
where; and unless they secure
it, their efforts will not be of
much avail"
During the trip throughout
the South, Mr.. Hill was accom-
panied by Jesse o. Thomas, the
Southern Field Director of the
National Urban League.
