ATTACKS, CLASHES, COLOR,
FEATURE HARLEM DEBATE;
FORD, CROSSWAITH, DePriest
TLE-UP
BY DAN POPE

NEW YORK-CNA)-Sharp
clashes featured a colorful debate
held in Harlem last week in
which Oscar DePriest, defeated
Congressman from Illinois, Frank
Crosswaith, Socialist leader and
James Ford, vice president Of the
League Of Struggle for Negro
Rights and Communist leader,
participated. The three speakers
debated whittier the Negro
Democracy, Socialism of Commun-
ism?" before a Negro and white
audience of 5000.
DePriest, who was the first
speaker, called upon Negroes to
follow his "Uncle Tom" type Of
leadership and put their trust il
and order" while Negroes
throughout the country are suf-
fering from terror, mass unem-
ployment and want. He resorted
to many jokes to win the favor
Of his audience.
"The way for Negroes to get
a fair deal from capitalists, he
solemnly stated, was to buy
their corporation stock and con
troll the companies themselves"
A roar of derisive laughter was
the audiences response.
DePriest was booed when he
attacked the Communist in Chi
cago for putting the furniture Of
povery stricken workers back in
to the houses after he had evicted
them for non-payment Of rent.
When he said, "You people
wouldn't act like that if you
owned the houses" the audience
yelled, "What about the ten
ants?"

tongue degenerate into a state of des-
uetude. But the axiom is a caution
against excessive g~arrulousness. Here
are a few Of the reasons:
Constant talking will reveal the ex-
tent of ones knowledge; there is the
danger Of giving offense and alienat-
ing friendships; garrulous persons are
almost certain to talk of themselves
and their affairs and discredit them
selves. To avoid these mistakes it IS
best to be very conservative in talk

Alfred H. Clarke, Omaha business
man and civic leader, has been chosen
to head the annual Y. n. C. A cam
pagn for funds to carry on work Of
the "Y' during the coming year and
to retire an accumulated debt.
The drive will last for two weeks,
February Is 10 March 4. Formal an

the association.
Clarke will nov appoint majors over
the various civic sectors to be drawn
up. These, in turn, will direct activi-
ties Of the workers who will make the
canvass.
In announcing Clarke to head the
drive, Petersen said: "After consider
able thought the board Of directors of
the Y. M. G. A. has made its choice of
a leader for the annual drive, the sue
cessful outcome of which is so very
important if the vital service render
ed by the organization is to continue.
We feel certain a better selection than
MIR. Clarke could not be made"
Accepting the appointment, Clarke
told a meeting Of the directors: II
fully appreciate the responsibility
that is mine. | approach the under
taking, however, with absolute conf
dence the drive will be a splendid
success. The people of Omaha have
too great a sense of appreciation for
the great work the Y. NJ. C. A. has
been carrying on, especially among
the youth of the city, since its found
ing in 1886. They want that work to
continue. They will offer the neces-
sary practical assistance to assure
that it will"
The goal Of the drive has been set
at $4,000.
In his report to the directors,
Clarke, who is also chairman Of the
permanent Y. NJ. C. A. finance COM
mittee, said in part:
While total income has fallen off
t~erriieally during the past years Of
economic stress, yet expenses of the
organization have been reduced in vet
larger proportion. In 1880. cost of

The serious bit of the underground
news is that the failure (if there is
gong to be one) will really be due to
the fact that the very people who
bought stock in the concern are not
supporting it. Can any people be SO
dumb? We who know Harlem can
answer: "Yeah Mani"

The white nations remind me of the
fabulous meeting of the rats who de-
liberated on ways and means of at
taching a bell to the cat so that they
could be warned by her approach.
"Belling the Cat" was accepted as a
swell idea but none could be found

RELIEF SPURS CLIMB
u. S. Spending Held Cause of Recovery

last-a period of almost 20 months
the government has paid out in
emergency expenditures, over and
above the ordinary expenses Of the
government, 1871 300 ,58491.
1t is very important that you un-
derstand just what this money does
&c us-how it gets into our economic
system and works its way around.
To make the matter quite simple,
let us look at Mr.. A. who is on
relief and who is getting $12 week.
What does he do with It? He
spends it. He takes it to the gro
Gerry. What does the grocery man
do? He buys goods at the factory.
The factory man uses the money
to pay wages and buy raw materials.
The raw material man pays wages
in turn.
1t is very plain, therefore, that
when the government poured into
the blood stream of business near
ly ten billion dollars in the last
twenty months that that ten bill
lion aided not merely the people
who received it from the govern
ment, but retail merchants whole
salers, manufacturing plants of all
sorts, railroads and so on.
You may think that govern
ment doles are not being used to
buy automobiles. But they are,
The man who gets the dole does
not buy autos. But the man he
spends it with buys automobiles and
radios.
Is it not perfectly plain, there
fore, that if that ten billion had not
been spent, not only would those on
relief have persisted, but business
itself would have had none of the
advances we have recorded? Fac
tories have been able to Put men
to work, wages have advanced
slightly, production has increased,
