Charges New Deal
Re- Enslaves Negro;
A Million on Relief

st. Louis, July 6,-Speaking at the
Thursday evening, June 9th, meet
ing of the 26th Annual Conference of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, John
p. Davis, secretary of the Joint Com
mittee on National Recovery, scored
the New Deal as "worsening the lot
OF the masses of American people"
and charged that "the experiments
are conceived, so far as Negroes are
concerned, in terms Of ghetto plan
ming, in terms of keeping the Negro
in an inferior status"
In support of his contention, Mr..
Davis pointed out that, Rapidly we
are becoming a race of paupers. dn
October 1888, roughly two million
n hundred thousand Negroes were
in families receiving relief. They
were 17.8 per cent Of our population.
Within fifteen months thereafter in
January 1885, the number of Ne
groes receiving relief rose to about
four million, 80 per cent of
our population. l think you will
agree with me that the sight Of $780,
600 Negro men, women and children
becoming destitute and economically
helpless in every single month should
make US have deep concern for the
future"
1.-TWO years of the New Deal ad-
m~inistration," he declared, shave
worsened the lot of the masses of the
American people" He cited the ire
mendously increased cost of living in
the tobacco manufacturing cities
where large numbers Of Negroes
live, and asserted that wage there
had gone down while hours Of work
had been increased. "NRA actually
lowered the buying power of the
workers generally" he charged, "and
exacted a tribute of many millions
Of dollars from the wage bill Of the
doubly-exploited Negro worker" In
the laundry industry, in not a single
Southern city were Negro women re-
ceiving eve as much as the inhuman
$3.50 a week wage established by
NRA's code for that industry"
Negro Farmers Condition Growing
Worse.
Turning to the plight of the Negro
farmer who constitutes two-fifths of
the colored population, Mr.. Davis
said that "Only IS per cent of them
are farm owners or farm managers"
while "The remaining 80 per cent are
sharecroppers and share tenants
whose income not only is less than
$1,000 but in the majority of
cases amounts to less than $780,"
In the face of this, he said. the gov
eminent had worsened their condi-
ton by cotton crop reduction and "a
ruthless policy of destroying pigs and
corn and wheat while a whole nation
starved" He quoted a University
Of North Carolina Investigators re-
port that "sharecroppers entitled to
benefit checks from the federal gov
eminent actually received about
three out of every thousand checks
intended for them. The other 997
were secured by fraud, deceit and
common thievery by large plantation
owners Needless to say Negro
s~harecroppers Jared worse than their
white fellow victims"
Scoring the government admins
tration Of relief as callous and indif-
ferent," Mr.. Davis charged that For
Negro families, who for no reason ex-
cept their color are given from two
to ten dollars q. month less than white
families of the same size, human
degradation has been inevitable"

THE COW AND HER TAIL

There is q fable of a COW that got
tired Of her long tail and had it cut
of. But when the summer came,
bringing thousands Of flies, she was
terribly annoyed and wished for her
tail. From this comes the adage
1.-THE cow will need her tail in fly
time" So, in times of prosperity
persons are inclined to become AFRO
giant and assrt i~ndependenc. But
when comes adversely, the fly-time Of
human life, these bigots suffer, as the
COW without her tail, in fy-time.

past, there should be reduction in
loan values set on cotton in order to
protect cotton exports.

the warning on the pending banking

but said business and industry must

centralize authority over the banking

A committee on security said the
proposed bill does not adequately pro-
tect voluntary plans already set up
by business, and advocated that en-
ployes pay toward the reserve. The
group warned against excessive piling
up of reserves, and advised that the
States be given more freedom to set

MANY BIG BILLS.

~ the Associated Press.
Business, as represented by commit
tees Of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States, yesterday registered
strong opposition to big batch of
the administrators major legislative
proposals.
The committee reports, made public
BY the chambers board of directors
at an executive meeting, included at
tacks on the work-relief program, a
warning about the pending omnibus
banking bill. and the suggestion that
the security program be developed
more slowly.
The President, however, was sup
ported on one major point in the
work-relief bill.
Wage Amendment Opposed.
The chambers Relief Committee OPP
posed the McCarran wage amend
ments, but at the same time recon-
mended that initiation and execution
of relief projects be left with States
and localities. The administration bill
gives the Government full authority.
The committee resolutions comprise
the most comprehensive statement by
representatives Of the Nations bust
ness since the White Sulphur Springs
Conference, which was attended by
around 100 major business executives.
That conference originally was de-
scribed as the beginning of business
government cooperation, but the con-
ference platform, like the statements
yesterday, varied in many particulars
from the Presidents program.
The Relief Committee proposed a
cut in the $4,880,00 900 fund to $2,-
O0O,O00,0OO. The committee contend
ed the primary consideration in select
ing projects should be their utility
and economic usefulness and that the
emphasis should be shifted from relief.
GENERALIZATION of financing and ad-
ministrative responsibility for unem-
ployment relief in the form of a
relief-public works program seems to
run counter to the Presidents state
ment that, the Federal Government
must and shall quit this business of
relief" said the committee.
