HAYS MINISTERS
FALSE LEADERSHIP

DETROIT r Snow 2. Grigsby,
chairman Of the Detroit Civic
Rights Committee IN a speech be-
fore three hundred persons at the
st. Antaine YMcA Sunday, bitter
ly assailed the ministers, dashed
false political leaders and denounc-
ed white public officials who fail
to play fair with their constituents.
Mr.. Crigsby stated that many
ministers, because Of their false
leadership, have lost the power
they had in other days. He attri-
buted this to the awakening Of the
younger generation. He also as
serted that ninety per cent Of the
ministers should be on the relief
rolls so they might better know the
problems confronting the men and
women of today
Lawyers Sighted
The speaker declared that color
ed lawyers in the various courts
have not received a proper share
of the assignment cases from the
judges Of the recorders and circuit
courts.
The judges in the circuit court
according to figures presented by
Mr.. Grigsby, have not assigned one
case to colc7ed lawyers during the
past year. Only a small number
were allotted in the recorders
court, the speaker declared.

Until now I have not been able
to count the churches and the po-

there are a multitude Of white fac

It's a compliment to such a COM

more fitting name would be that

other than they could have the
heart to hog up all the opportunities
to make liv' lg and to participate

It Is a most cruel condition.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is keener in

Yesterday two boys twelve years
old drove up beside me and asked
me if I belonged in Marshall. ]
asked them why did they ask me.
They apologized by saying that
they meant no harm, but I did not
look like a native. They thought
was from New York, because I had
my cane. We talked a few NOM
ents about their high school, when
they hoped to enter and finish col
lege. Again apologizing, they
drove away.
Wiley and Bishop have left their
impress on large number of peo-
pie in this community. Bright, up
standing colored men and women
are by no means rare specimens.
1t is tragedy that these two col

NOW COMING BACK
"Much of this capital is now
seeking to reenter the United
States and is producing a de-
mand for dollar exchange result
ing in large gold shipments
from Abroad situation, obvi-
ously, that is not conducive to
active purchases of American
goods by foreigners. Moreover,
international trade is now sub
ject to artificial influences and
restrictions to an extent that
has not been witnessed in peace
times for more than a century.
consequently, the COMPETE
tive advantages now enjoyed
by American exporters that are
due to the Cheapening of the
dollar cannot be depended on
to continue indefinitely. In
some quarters it is believed
that other countries will UNI

by competitive currency depre-

import quotas, and other re-
StrictionS, to protect their gold
reserves from beinC drained off

QUALIFYING FACTORS
"These qualifying factors
have already produced some
striking effects contrary to
what might have been, and
probably was, anticipated on
theoretical grounds. Rather
than increasing after devalua-
ton, as it should theoretically,
the pound moved lower: and
similar contrary movement was
registered by the franc.
among the reasons for these
unexpected movements are that
there has been rush to pur-
chase dollars by those Ameri.
cans who had sent or left their
funds abroad as a protection
against dollar depreciation,
that the sterilization of the
dollar has encouraged foreign
capital to seek the security Of
American money in the face
of the growing political unset
Element in Europe, and that
England, in the belief that the
new dollar is undervalued. is
disincIined to support sterling
and prefers to let the pound

the exchange developments is
the behavior of domestic com
prices since devaluation.

trend has been upward, but by
no such proportion as would be
