Three Suggestions For Doing
Away With the Word Negro

The word Negro, especially
as race term. is a misnomer
in this country. as people of Az
rican descent have all colors-
white. yellow. brown, red, black.
Indeed, nature and destiny
have so mixed the Caucasian,
Monaghan. Indian and African
that they are distinctly colored.
Current literature has made only
two races on the earth. white
and colored. However. in this
country 1t is generally understood
even by statute that a person Of
one-eighth African blood is a
colored man.
Let us do away with all the
relics Of slavery, such as Negro,
Negress, aunty and uncle. and
call ourselves Americans; at
home and abroad.

NEGROES THREATEN
TO BLOW UP TOWN

HAZARD, Ky.-Fearing repris-
ais from colored miners who
threatened to burn the town af-
ter the lynching of 19-year-old
Rex Scott. hundreds of white
citizens were sworn in as depu-
ties for protection last week.
Scores of colored workers. arm
ed to the teeth. roamed the
streets of the town threatening
to blow up" the town at the
first instigation.
Governor L.afoon would not
commit himself or his action
concerning the removal Of the
jailer who turned Scott over to
the mob. The law requires re-
moval, but the governor is at
tempting to establish the fault.
Similar action to that of the
miaers prevented a lynching at
Yorktown, Va, when a host of
colored men stormed the town
threatening to burn it to the
ground If a suspect was lynched.

committee on accounts which
controls the House restaurant,
issued an order under which
CONGRESSMAN Oscar DePriest's
secretary and his guest were re-
fused service on account OF their
color. he started something he
may not be able to finish.
Mr.. DEPRTEST retaliated with
3 resolution asking for appoint
ment Of a committee Of five to
find out by what authority Mr.
Lindsay and his committee pre-
sumo to bar y. s. citizens from
q restaurant IN the us. Capitol.
The resolution goes further by
challenging the right OF Warren
to make any rules at all con-
corning the restaurant. Reason:
he was appointed by the 9th
Congress in June, 1921, and the
present Congress (73rd) is not
bound by the action Of any pre-
vious Congress.

CNA SECRET|VE
. ON COMPLAINTS
FROM WORKERS

WASHINGTON Officials at
the office of the Federal En-
Urgency Relief Administration
here. would not say whether any
of the thousands of complaints
received during the past few
weeks from colored persons, came
from those employed under the
New Deal administration or from
those still on charity relief rolls
An analysis of the $1,000 let
ters received by the office last
week. showed that S.6 per cent
came from colored persons, and
that more than 25 per cent OF
the total number of letters COM
planned of discrimination. Racial
discrimination was listed as third
IN order Of Importance.
Personal Tone
Oliver Griswold. IN charge OF
CWA public RELATIONS. told an
AMP reporter that the letters
could not be made public due to
their personal tome"
Commenting on the complains
Griswold said:
Considering the fact that the
proportion OF Negroes on our re-
lief rolls Is in excess of that Of
whites you can see that 3.6 per
cent is very small percentage
of the total.
These letters are in our pri-
vate files and cannot be shown,
of course, due to their personal
tone. We are analyzing them
weekly"
From a conversation held with
one of the clerks at Civil Works
Administrator Hopkins office. 1t
was apparent that large por-
ton of the letters came from
the South.
When asked whether any of
the letters complained of wage
differential, he hastily respond
ed that the Negroes could hardly
complain of that because the
wages of the CWA were equal
all over the country. you can
see that by the papers," he said.
AS a result of the AMP pubh-
cation of code violations uncoy-
erred by John P. Davis, executive
secretary of the Joint Commit
tee on National Recovery, Mr..
Davis has received a large num-
Der of letters from workers all
over the country, mainly from
the south. laying bare the unfair
conditions under which they are
laboring in the name of the NRA
and asking his committee for
relief.

WASHINGTON ID. C. (By T.
M. Dent - Come now, let us
reason together" saith the Lord.
This quotation Is made advisedly
for 1t Is In this spirit that APP
preach this momentous question
as to whether we should discard
the use Of the word Negro al
together. as q race term.
When q man is born in this
country he Is by common con-
sent called an American, irres-
pective Of his racial utilization,
and II he goes abroad he Is
known as an American citizen.
BY accepting the word Negro to
designate US as a race, we Sc
gregate ourselves from all other
races and so you sometimes hear
It said that the Us. is composed
Of American citizens and Negroes
Under the first suggestion, If
we deliberately discard the use
Of The word in our literature,
other races viii 90 the same and
we shall thus take the first step
In doing away with race preju-
dice and putting ourselves on an
equality with all other races in
this country.
Under the second suggestion
we should use the word African
or Ethiopian to designate race.
Those who are conversant with
history know that Herodotus, the
father Of Greek history, called
the Africans, philippians, which
means people whose skin is dark
or black.
Under the third suggestion, we
should use the word colored in
stead Of Negro. when we use the
word white. for we know what
coiored means In this country.

RACE SUPERIORITY
is ALL THE BUNK,
SAYS C. E. RUSSELL

NEW YORK In a chapter
startling in its frankness, Chas.
Edward Russell, in his new book,
Bare Hands and Stone Walls"
(Scribner's, N. Y. $3), one of the
founders of the National Assoc
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People and a member of
It's board of directors, discusses
the formation and achievements
of the Association and the posi-
ton of the Negro in America.
Taking them by and large, -
he writes, men are the same
regardless of complexion, or the
shape of nose or curl of hair.
The only real difference among
them are differences of oppor-
tunity. Theories OF the superior
and the inferior race are mere
fictions. %
Speaking of conditions in the
South MIR. Russell writes: 1.-THE
results have been disastrous up
on whites and blacks alike. Nay,
they have been worse upon the
whites Always the hater los
es more than the hated. The
Negroes in the South have
freer souls than the men thai
prosecute them, immeasurably
freer The emancipation OF
the Negro from the conditions
imposed upon him by hatred and
prejudice will take time but ii
will come. Think how long II
took to end slavery"
