My friend argued that many Ital

plain that he wouldn't risk having
anything to do with supporters of {

The argument, sounds plausible
enough. the only trouble it that i

his high-up fascist pals don't Intend
to do any fighting IN Africa.
They're going to leave the dirty

Same Tactics
If the war is to be Popular, the
Italian war lords have got to stir
up hatred among Italians for all
Ethiopians, a process already vel
under way. Ethiopia is being painted
in Italian papers as a bloodthirsty
nation Of shareholders bent on wreck
ing civilization.

ing the World War when the Ger
mans were pointed to as baby-kill-
ers and home-wreckers. There was a
time when | actually believed that ]
hated the "Huns" wholesale, al
though I knew that our German
neighbors were nice people.
Once you get this national hatred
business going, you have laid the
basis for popular support for war

Soon you drift into the belief that
there are natural enmities between

It's A Racket
For the moment the record is fair
ly straight; there are few who do
not understand that the invasion of
Ethiopia is a racket, a put-up Job by
Mussolini and Italian industrialists
to up conditions at home.
Italy is facing a food shortage,
prices are rising, wages are drop
ping and the people are grumbling.
But war will bring a little furry of
prosperity and if the people can be
doped on phony patriotism they Will
forget their grievances for a time.
A campaign Of hate directed
against all Italian people will only
drive them closer to Mussolini and
aid him and his w~ar-buddies. That's
what he wants.
If we really want to cripple him
we ought to put u energies on try
ing to point out to Italians, here and
abroad-many of whom hate fascism
that they have nothing to gain
through the success of the African
plumber drive. If Mussolini is to be
defeated the job will have to be done
as much through discomfort at home
as through defeats on the battle
field.

YOURS truly knows of two very fashionable
Il Negro churches in this state where the min
listers and their families ride around in fine cars,
eat the finest foods, and wear the finest clothes.
1t is true that the wealthiest Negroes in that p~artic-
.uar city do patronize the two churches Of which /
write, yet it is the wash women who scrub their
knuckles to the bone in order that their pastors
may live in luxury. The women and men who slave
for almost starvation wages in the hot, dusty, to-
bacco factories, who are ashamed to send their
children to school because they cannot afford to
dress them in comfortable clothes, nor give them
proper food are the ones on whom these parasites of
religion prey. AS for me, [ think it is a damn
shame and am going to fight it every chance [ get.
There is only one thing worse than white
Bourgeois and that is a black one. There are some
OF us who are preparing to A Workers Edu-
cation and we often ask ourselves how we are go
ing to get down to the workers level. To those let
me say this. Your problem is not how to get down
to the level Of the working man, but torealize that
you are there already. People who have lived all
their lives in a pseudosocial atmosphere, and are
planning to treat the worker with the same con
tempt that he formerly did is doomed. 1t is a damn
able disgrace that we as Negroes should presume

to save our brothers but to save ourselves. Not one
OF us is invulnerable. In the final reckoning we
are not Judged as individuals, but as a race. So to
those OF us who have been swimming in the mud
pond and have been 'Fpsyching'' ourselves into be-
heylng that we were in Mr.. Astor's private pool,
lets come to our senses before it's too late.
1ou now are wondering what this article has
to do with Drama, Art and Music. Isn't life a

Well for one am advocating the need for a new
song. This it not the time for compromise. OF
lourse some OF us are going to be crucified by those
very individuals whom we are trying to save, but a
man who is a leader and has a principle and is not
willing to die for it is not fit to live for it. Let's
adopt this song as our theme; 'Stand aside all
you petty Bourgeoise and let us the workers pass"
Then after we have taken our rightful places in the
new social, political and economic order. we can
look back on our former "Ieaders' and IN the

and economic justice exist. With
the fulfillment of this dictum, the
greatest portion of tuberculosis
among Negroes will disappear, for
the prevalence of this disease
among this group is due to I'M
employment, low income, poor
housing, and the hundreds of other
inequalities that are artifcially
perpetrated by the economically
superior white group.
After much agitation over a year

very short-lived and the girl was

Do Not Buy Christmas
Seals
By DR.. w. D. Brown

For several years we have called
attention to the fact that money
spent by the Twin City Negro for
Christmas Seals pays no direct
economic dividends to him. Con-
trary to a common opinion, this
money goes not to maintain sana-
toria such as Glen Lake, but
rather to disseminate knowledge
concerning tuberculosis, to finance
clinics, doctors, nurses, and ex-
ecutives with. their attendant
stenographers and employees.
It has ever been the policy Of
this paper to demand some inn
mediate financial return for money
spent by the colored people. Only
in this way is it possible for the
group to elevate its economic
strength. One does not have to
be learned to understand that,
when money spent is soon returned
in equal or greater amount, social

ever, my answer to this was stated
two years ago as follows:
every charitable organization
makes more jobs and more salaries.
Executives get salaries usually
commensurate with those of indus
trial workers in executive posi-
tions. If charity really pervaded
the systems of these executives,
they would take only a small sal
airy, just enough to allow them an
average living. I think that they
would emulate Christ if they were
really imbued with His spirit of
helping the unfortunate. But their
high salaries dispute this thought
of self-sacrifce that Chris t
preached. Therefore every cent
that you spend for Seals is very ex-
pensively spent. You are getting
no jobs either in the executives
office or in the clinics. Economical
ly it is a bad bargain"
