NEGRO MAY HAVE
TO FORM PARTY
AYERS Willard

NEW YORK-The Republicans,
Democrats, Socialists, and Com
munists have little or nothing to
offer the colored voter and the race
may yet be forced to organize its
own political party in defense,
states Oswald Garrison Willard, no
ted liberal editor, in an article In
the November Crisis magazine.
Writing on 1.-The Plight of tire
Colored Voter" Mr.. Willard says:
1T is perfectly obvious that the
race has nothing to gain from the
Roosevelt administration except
insofar as Mr.. Roosevelt's efforts
to restore prosperity may benefit
all of the people.
IF we look on the other side,
the Republicans have absolutely
nothing to offer anyone. I have
no doubt that they will be willing
to make all sorts of campaign and
platform promises to the colored
group just as they have in the past
and then fail to live up to them,
also precisely as they have done in
the past.
las for the Socialist party, it is
beyond doubt friendly to the col
ored people and wholly without
race prejudice But the situation
of the Socialist party is obviously
hopeless.
LAS for the Communists, I know
that their doctrines are in many
aspects especially appealing to the
colored. Yet, If I were a Negro,
it would be the last party for which
I should consider voting. It's lead
ership in the United States is in
significant, almost beneath con-
tempt. The Russians themselves
have no faith in 1t and little good
opinion of it.
ut may possibly be that the time
viii yet come when it will be me-
cessary to form Negro party, but
the time is not now"
