But to the Communist newspaper
correspondent, DePriest expanded.
Determinations are driving the
Negroes toward the Reds. The Com
munists have very fertile ground to
work in today. II the Negro
doesn't get justice from the two
parties, he'll seek another party, and
maybe it'll be the Communist
Party"
And you, of course, don't ap-
prove Of that"
He laughed again. his face Just
fat politicians: Z haven't said
that I approved" Then he added
solemnly. there's a lot of things
about the Communists I don't ap-
prove of-their religious teachings,
and their regimenting people and
industry"
Particularly, 'regimenting in
dustry-forcing the landlords in
the Black Belt to give up the
land to Negroes, and taking con-
troll of production out of the hands
of industrialists and putting it into
the hands of a Workers Govern
ment," I offered.
Il don't believe in Government
control of industry, he insisted. re-
fusing to distinguish between a
capitalist and workers govern
ment. He said also, of course, 1
know the people are more and more
determined to take control for
themselves. They call it mob psy-
chology. Maybe it's en intelligent
movement. I don't attempt to say"
How long do you expect Negro
workers to trust the Republican
Party, which you say isn't I'll it
should be for them by iugful?'"
We'll, it takes more than one or
two generations to change coun-
try"
You know countries have
changed practically overnight?"
IT know that too" he replied.
But that's revolution, and I'm
against revolution. I don't think
people ought to kill each other off ;"
You know there was no killing
off in the Soviet revolution, COM
pared to the killing off in the
World War;"
Il know that too" he repeated.
And I'll say there's a lot of unrest
among the Negroes all over this
country, particularly among the
young. What percentage of Negroes
are there in the Communist Party's
memberships"
1 handed him copy of the L. S.
N. RS bill for civil rights for Me-
groes-a bill to punish lynching By
execution and to establish full legal
equality for Negroes and asked what
he thought of it.
Il hadn't seen it," he responded.
But I'd have to be for it, because
it's for what I'm for"
Would you introduce such
bill?"
Now be said, whats the use
OF introducing anything like that
now?"

strong enough to send anyone to
Congress yet"
Are you aware that iim-crow-

Of the double oppression Of Negro
workers, Of the fact that Negroes
are exploited even more than white
workers by those who own the jobs
today as the masters owned the
slaves before the Civil War" I
asked,
"That may have good deal to
