Bernard E. Squires
PhilO-
sOphical Society
Elected Honorary Member

Bernard E. squires, executive
secretary of the Omaha Urban
League, spoke to the Omaha
Philosophical Society, Sunday a t
4 p. m. at the Y. N. c. A. Mr..
Squires' appearance as the So
ciety's principal speaker drew an
exceptionally large attendance.
He spoke for an hour on the sub
ject: q Know The Negro"
Said Mr.. Squires in his intro
duction: 'There is a diversity of
opinions regarding the Negro.
The nter-racialist, the soeiologist,
the radical, the employer, and
even the Negro, himself, says Z
know the Negro Such an as
SUMPTION" he continued, 'repre-
sents a distorted concept of the
Negro, and it generally means to
me that the person making such
an reclamation is least qualified
to profess a knowledge of the Ne
gro. His knowledge is limited by
virtue of his limited contact, OBJ
s%ervation, and study of the
Negro"
"The society matron says s
knows the Negro, because her
maid has served the family for
years. The Socialologist knows
him because he has made a rather
incomplete study of some phase of
Negro life. What the matron
knows is how to keep her maid
fairly content in the kitchen un-
der paid. The Socialologist knows
that virtual slavery, antiquated
customs, and a faulty socio-eco-
nomic order enables him to pre-
judge and misjudge the Negro.
They know nothing of the Negro
college graduates who must serve
as domestic servants. Those who
say Il know the Negro do not
know to what extent the Negroes
Industrial and economic oppor-
tunities are restricted on basis of
color. They know nothing of the
Negroes institutions of higher
learning. They do not know the
Negroes effect on labor unions,
and the economic system"
Throughout Mr.. Squires' dis
course there were Illuminating
anaologies and examples which
carried his points forcibly. In
pointing out the assumptions of
whites who believe that they know
the Negro, he related the story
of the white ministers of the
South during the Civil war period
W h o assembled several thousand
Negroes, and appointed one of
their group, a recognized leader,
to pray. The Negro minister gave
what they wanted. He ended his
prayer by b~eseeching the Al
mighty to blast the hearts of the
Yankees from the universe. Lat
err he was approached by a Negro
who asked him what he meant by
the prayer. He replied: "God
knows what l meant"
Said Mr.. Squires, "The White
Man does not know the Negro
for he is not able to penetrate

FOJJR POINT FINANCIAL
 PROGRAM IS DECREED
 BY CHINESE MINISTER
Departure Gold Standard By Other Na-
 tions Too Great Silver Drain China
(By The Associated Press)

Shanghai, Nov. 4, - The Chinese government moved drastically to solve it's long, standing monetary problems by announcing a four point monetary reform program, which includes the nationali- zation of silver, the restric- ton of bank note issue by the three government owned banks, the stabilization of the Chinese dollar at it's present level, and the legalization of bank notes in the payment of all debts expressed in silver.
 The government decree is effective today. All holders of silver bullion are required to exchange it for legal tender notes issued and now in cir culation. Banks other than the three government owned in- stitutions will continue to cir culate legal tender, but it will gradually be withdrawn and replaced by government bank notes.
 The Chinese dollar now is approximately thirty cents in United States money.
 Finance Minister H H King said that the abandonment of the gold standard by many countries and the rise in sil- yer had brought about a ser iouS overvaluation of China s currency, and a severe drain on the silver resources of the nation.

CHASE DEFENDS
FIRMS PERMITS
Public Service Commission
Has Approved Them, Says
Trolley Chief.

Permits under which trackless
trolleys Of the Indianapolis Rail
ways, Inc, have been operated since
1882 should be continued, Charles
Chase, street car company presi-
dent, said today.
Furthermore it is the Public Serv-
ice Commission and not the city
that has final jurisdiction and in
every case the commission has ap-
proved the permits, Mr. Chase said.
The Works Board yesterday
served notice on the street car COM
pany to appear Jan. 20 and show
cause why the permits should not
be revoked and terminated as of
Feb. 10.
When trackless trolleys were in
augurated in 1882 there was no prec-
edent by which to figure a proper
street repair charge. Revokable per-
mits were issued requiring the street
car company to pay per cent of
street construction costs and 10 per
cent of resurfacing and widening
costs. These terms are fair and
have been met by the company, Mr.
Chase said.
City officials desire readjust-
ment more favorable-to the taxpay
ers but have delayed action pend
ing the outcome of the street car
company's application for $3,127,0OO
PWA funds for rehabilitation of
equipment. The grant was approved
two weeks ago.

Just warm dresses so other children
won't poke their fingers in scorn.
Community Fund relief agencies
and the social service department OF
the public schools can not hope tc
budget their funds for an entire year
and have an opportunity to answer
the call of Christmas.
Odd, but it seems want is more
acute during the Santa month. The
plight of the INDECENT is realized.
Do you realize it, too? Have you
shivered during the past two days?
II you have then place yourself in
your teen-age with holey stockings
thin sweaters, bedraggled panta-

is at your desk or table. Call that
number and boy or girl will be
given to you for your very own fol
