must become participants in the
period of transition and change
taking place in United States his
tory, is a conclusion reached by
the National Urban League Con-
ference, which recently concluded

Exclusion of workers under the

other injustices under the various
codes, such as that suffered by
Southern tenants and sharecrop-
pers as result of the reduction IF
cotton acreage under the AAA.
The league went on record as
being ''1palterably opposed to diff

indirectly based upon color" and
pledged itself to work increasingly
for the attainment of social justice
for all Americans.

part of the American labor move
ment, of racial restrictions and

taken steps to overcome the ham
dicaps the colored worker faces

NO "SEPARATE"
HOMESTEAD FOR
GEORGIA WHITES

ATLANTA Whether to have or
not to have segregated Federal
subsistence homesteads IN the
South. Is causing considerable frie-
ton and disagreement among pro-
minent men of both races.
OF these men W. E. b. Dubois
holds out for segregated home
steads as the better Of two evils,
he believing that colored home
steaders win get more. BY being
apart from rapacious whites.
Hughes spalding, white, chair
man Of the board Of regents of the
state university system, differs,
holding that segregation would be
injurious to both races. In let
ter to Clark Foreman white advis-
er at washington, Mr.. spalding
urges that the homesteads be mix
ed.
School Man Differs
On the other hand, J. B. Wat
son, principal Of Arkansas A. and
N. College, at Pine Bluff, disag-
rees with spalding and lines up a.
side Dubois for segregated CONF
munities.
Mr.. Watson claims that the idea
OF mixed homestfads is an attempt
for the whites to exploit the col
ored. as is always. he says, the
case In the South.
1.-THE old fiction about white peo-
pie in the South loving the colored
man." he says, ''is still a fiction.
There's no place in America where
the white people love the colored
man SO mucn tnaI they desire hfslt
to live next door and to share equ-
ally in the affairs of the commune
ity."
He adds, Certainly there is no
such place in Georgia" Mr.. Wat
son seriously doubts the sincerity
of mixed community plan as ad-
vocated by Mr.. Spalding, believ-
ing that its motives are hidden.
In the meantime Clark Foreman
holds 100000 allotted by the
for the homesteads,
but is in a quandary as to whether
or mixed communities
should be established. Southern
ers, it is believed, are in favor of
the separate, while Northerners

attention to the large number Of

and teachers who are congregated
in the larger cities of the country
while some of the southern states,
for example, with a colored popu

negligible number of such train

While reminding them they will
find themselves members of mi

sands of colored people who stand
