No Mention of the NRA
Is Made in Platform
Of Socialist Party
Nv A. r. MACH,

Are there automobile factories in
Michigan?
The question sounds like a joke,
but it isn't. It's the most natural
question to ask after reading the
state election platform of the So
cialist Party of Michigan. Believe
it or not, the word Automobile"
does not even occur in the platform
of party which processes to rep
resent the interests of the workers
in the automobile center of the
world.
This is no mere verbal slip. 1t
expresses the real character of a
platform, which, while addressing
itself to the workers and farmers
of the state, ignores their most
vital needs, substituting pious
phrases. seasoned with the rankest
kind of opportunistic proposals,
about the cooperative common
wealth. for concrete program of
immediate struggle against low
wages, speed-up, company unions,
miserable relief, pauperization of
the farmers against the whole
brutal oppressive rule of the over
lords of one of the most powerful
open-shop industries in the world.
Gives Lip Service
Judge Arthur Lacy, Democratic
candidate for governor, has been
compelled to give lip-service to the
30-hour week though he says
nothing, of course, about no wage
reductions with the shorter week
but the S. P. platform does not
mention this subject. Both the
Republicans and Democrats in
Michigan have had to talk about
unemployment insurance, but the
Socialist Party is discreetly silent
on this question. Speed-up, COM
pany unions, the right to organize
in unions of the workers own
choice? They don't exist as far as

NEGRO H1sToRY

Mr.. j. A. odgers, who has
made an extensive study Of the
history of the Negro, tells of the
difficulties that he is having in

(fifteen hundred dollars. Judg-

Mr.. Rogers makes to the Negro

and self supporting. IF the Negro
youth knew more about his
beautiful physical characteristic,
achievements and heroic deeds,
he would not spend so much mon

face whitener stuff, that has
caused him to be the laughing
stock Of the civilized world. The
people who support the Z. w. G.
A., the y. A. A. c. P, the Urban
League and the Negro Churches,
cannot be expected to give Mr.
Rogers their assistance. Because
they know if a people becomes
self apreciative, they will no

that they receive today. There is
absolutely no hope for the old
Negroes Of today. Therefore there

He went out on the porch at 7;15 a..

said it stopped in front Of my house"
A hospital laboratory worker said
Negro blood could be detected by a
miscropic examination, by physicians
scoffed at this.
"The Negro and the white hid are
Just alike structurally," said one Of
them "The blood cannot be told a

stuff about different methods of tell

no way to do it. Only the mother

The baby is as pink as any other

Of color about its forehead. There is
something about the hair which does
not seem quite caucasian, but, as the

NEGRO PROBLEM MAY NOT
Be SOLVED, SAYS MEHKEN

NEW YORK, Sept 18-The Negro
problem may be insoluble, declares H
L. Menken, former editor Of the Am
erican Mercury, in an article appear
ing in October Crisis" out Sept
ember "a.
Mr.. Menken advances the theory
that neither by uproar or legal pro-
cesses is the Negro likely to secure
the rights he Graves. He holds that
the present state of mind in America
as he ees it., is that the Negro has
gone far enough and should be con
tent for the present.
However, the Sage Of Baltimore
also declares the Negro cannot af-
ford to cease fighting, ever though
he makes no new gains, or the righ Is
he now has may be taken from him.
Speaking Of the Constitution and the
bill of rights, upon which the Negro
depends, Mr.. Menken asks:
DuI WHAT is tnIS S0nOrOuS
charter of liberties really worth?
1t is worth to the Negro precisely
what it is to the american white
man. That is to say it is worth
whatever courts and legislatures
choose to make it from time to
time. And what they choose to
make it is no more and no less
than what the concensus of opin-
ion, of mob opini0n-wants to
see it made.
For all these reasons" he con
cludes, Il find myself full Of
doubt that the American Negro
will o his constitutional
rights on any near tomorrow.
His politicians promise him that
he will, but they are only poIit-
icians. Some of his white friends
tell him the same, but they have
fooled him in the past. NV pri-
vate hope is that he will get them
all soon or late. But before any
such Utopia dawns there must be
considerable change in the thing
of the human race. 1t must cease
believing in quacks and trans
fer its confidence more to facts"

In his letter of complaint Mr..

ACTION FOR

looking for. all Of them are
stars in their own right and
not just because someone
dubbed the stars. I'll put them
up against any mans bowIers
and that goes for Frank Bar
ber's "Blue Ribbons" If we
don't take those babies, then
Grant never took Vicksburg.""
And Gus means just that. He
wants action and wants it bad,
and has issued challenge which
bars none. He is willing to meet
the Occidentals or any other
leading Washington team for the
right to meet the Connecticut

His all-star aggregation Is
more representative of the cream

quint; Eddie Espey, star of Con-
vention Hall; Paul Harrison, Ar
cadia flash and District League
leader; George Honey, unortho-

the pride of Hyattsville.
Places is willing to add Joe
