NOW IS THE TIME TO SPEND

The public has grown weary of the
old slogans to the effect that Prices are
booming! Buy now!o etc. But there's
truth in those phrases at present.
Recent initiation activities and the
prospective change in the gold backing of
the dollar, will be the most powerful price
stimulant in three years. It really is time
to buy now!
Best of all, by buying now, and build
ing and repairing now, you can do your
bit in the most dramatic stage of the war
against unemployment and distress and at
the same time secure the greatest return
on your dollar in more than a genera
ton.
A dollar in property improvement
means dollar touching the lives of a
thousand people-and doing a thousand
dollars work Repair the steps, paint the
house, remove fire hazards, renovate the
garden, renew rotting foundations with
concrete-do any of these things, and
you'll be factor in the work of recovery
It is not prophecy1to say that in your
lifetime you'll never have the opportunity
to get work done as cheaply as now. It's
fact The price structure is abnormally
low. 1t is lower than even the intense
ness of depression justifies.. AS demand
increases, the rate of climb will be sharply
accelerated.
Remember that providing jobs is
cheaper than charity-and that it's bet
ter to provide job now than to have to
contribute to charity next year. Remem-
Der, too, that unless the jobs are provided
it won't be long until nothing is left for
charity!

Investigation Of officials by congress
and state Legislative bodies very seldom
have results other than white-washing of
those charged with misfeasance of office,
and at the expense of the taxpayers. The
investigation of Judge Ritter's acts will
have the same result as the investigation
OF Judge Louderbeck By congress and
that Of Solicitor Pine BY the legislature.
Not proven IS too easily proved.

PUBLIC WORKS ADMINISTRA-
TON PASSING BUCK ON NE
GRO JOBS

NEW York; Negroes are to re-
ceive any jobs from the huge public
works program they will have to de-
pend on the tender mercies Of local
contractors. That is the gist of the
position of the national public works
administration in Washington
The administration, in answer to
two letters from the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement Of Col
ored People, at first says it has no
power to dictate labor policies and
hat contractors who get the huge
contracts should be seer for jobs. In
a second letter, the national admin
istration Of public works, over the
signature of Major Philip B. FIem-
ing, Of the engineering CORPS, who is
IN official under Secretary Ickes,
states trustfully that it belives call
races of people who are citizens of
the United States, will be given just
treatment in respect to employment"
The letter says the department of
labor has set up special employment
bureaus and that workers will be re-
cruited from them. 1t will be remem-
bered that the workers for Boulder
dam were all <ken from the United
States employment office at Las
Vegas and this office never recon-
mended a single Negro for work there
until pressure was brought to bear
from Washington.
