Education Needed.
"How can man best perform his
task Of agency for God in promot-
ing progress in the world. BY edu-
cation, mutual understanding, social
service, cooperation, organization, de-
termination, development Of racial or
group consciousness and of world
group consciousness.
Education within the group for

new world order. The education of

the ability and progress of non-Eu-
ropeans.
items Of thousands Of Europeans
do not know that there is a Colored
Councillor in Cape Town who sits
with dignity and merit in that power
full body and who presides over one
Of the most important departments
of the Municipality. A very worthy
European woman who has been in
South Africa for 25 years told me
she was surprised to know that there
are Native doctors and native school
inspectors in South Africa. The
church which l represent has been
operating in South Africa for 81
years, recognized by the Government
as any other well regulated body, and
many Europeans still misunderstood
it. They have thought it a segregat-
ed church, when on the contrary it
was born out Of the hot embryo Of
protest against segregation.
The Crab Sin
Cooperation is another important
function-within the group and get
rid OF the crab sin, without the group
for you cannot make progress in a
country like ours without coopera-
ton with the Government.
Loyalty to it is essential. Coopera-
ton with the best Europeans. For
that is the way the American Negro
has risen from o~bscurity into his pres
ent status.

Levin Asks Friendship;
Support of Negroes

To the Colored People of Omaha:
l deeply regret that this most un-
fortunate incident, namely the affair
between George Crumbley and myself,
has been m~agnified to such proper
tons as to have almost become a CON-
munal issue. The incident is one Of
those things that some times occur
to mar the beautiful friendship and
brotherly feeling that does exist be-
tween u two racial groups. Our
people have always lived and CO.
operated with each other in a harmo-
NOUS manner eve yet reached by
any other minority groups. 1t is my
fervent prayer and wishes of my peo-
pie that the colored people will per-
NIT this unfortunate occurrence to be
decently forgotten and that l aan cont
inue to call my colored friends,
friends.
| am saddened by the thought that
SO soon after I had to part with the
moral but not spiritual person Of my
pal and comrade, POLES, Officer Rob
ert Turner, that his friends and
were to be estranged. l know as a
clean decent young man that the i'm
mortal soul Of Bob Turner if it could
only give voice to words would say
that Bud Levin and he were the best
of friends, both of US serving our city
and all of its people to the very best
of our ability.

UNCLE SAM TO START
DRIVE ON ALIENS

The long awaited report on the
exact number of aliens in this coun-
try has been made public. 1t shows
that right now, there are 20, 900, 900
aliens in this country, and $1,000, 900
Of these are here illegally. The great
problem Of unemployment, towether
with tn shocking crime wave in this
country, brought about the survey
it 8 known. The list shows that
there are in the United Staes, mil
lions of people who do no belong here
and who are taking away from the
native c~tzens, many jobs and much
OF the money which could go toward
feeding and clothing u own. How
to get I'd of tbs a humanity, has
been the study Of the eDpartmen of
Jusce for over . year.
Complete data has been collected,
and soon the drive to get rid of our
alien population will be inaugurated.
The reported policy Of the Depart
ment is to make a clean sweep Of all
classes and races. 1t tn, countries
from which these aliens came. can
not take care of them, why should
they be allowed to stay here and TO-
ment trouble among our own. Many
OF he un-American movements in
this country, are traced to some of
these aliens.
They have been here for years,
many Of them, and having enjoyed
perfect freedom in all their activities,
they have assumed the role Of a real
native, and have become bold in many
OF their activities. The city Of New
York is said to house a great mass of
these aliens who are passing every
day as Americans, so lax has this
country been toward deporting them.
Ten million of the aliens here are liv-
ing here against the laws of the
country, and they know it, but having
been let alone, they have become bold
to share any and everything this
country has to offer its own citizens.
The labor organizations will be
combed thoroughly. The cities and
towns will be combed from house to
house until the whole alien population
IS rounded up for deportation to the
countries from which they came.
These millions here are employed at a
wage detrimental to the American
citizen. They not only work for less,
but they send their earnings across
the waters. They join many of the
agitations for higher wages to make
it appear that they are native citi-
zens.
Much of he unemployment can be
overcome, if the Department Of Jus.
tice, with the assistance Of the State
Departments, gets busy with the task
OF rounding up and deporting these
aliens.
The American Negro suffers more
than any other citizen because many
of the aliens r Negroes from other
lands. Our W Negro population is
all we can care for, and that none toe
well. The Bill to require all common
carriers to employ only native born
citizens on Pullman cars, dining cars

Our economic boycott advocates
will be interested in the boomerang ef-
feet Of the Anti Nazi boycott on Ger
mar imports. American imports from
Germany in November, 1888, were
$6,6O3,732 In November, 1884, fol-
lowing a year of the boycott, Ameri-
can imports from Germany were S.
544,457, a million dollar loss. But a
far more striking variance is to be
found in the German imports from
America. In Novemb.r 1888, these
amounted to SIG, 873,2 POI. In Novem-
Der, 1884, German imports from us
amounted to only $5,O63, O43, a loss Of
almost twelve million dollars.
Thus, Anti-Na boycott here. was
less effective than German counter
boycott. Those who advocate boy
colts always forget that the other

Idea OF a separate state where they
can develop unfettered by the white
mans presence, his influence or pre-
sumably, his capital.

ne does not want US, is not interested
IN US. We must do something for
ourselves" So says Attorney Oscar
Brown, Governor General" Of the
movement, thus revealing how unfa-
mlilar he is with the history Of his
people and Of his nation. If the white
man had not wanted us and was not
interested in u.s. we would not be here.
And OF course, Negroes have been
doing something for themselves" all
along, as witness the ownership of a
million homes and $4,000 businesses.
Happily, Negroes have a sense Of bu-
