The Defender showed wisdom in assigning it's ace
veteran, Lucius Harper to the job of setting up the
paper, and in securing the service of two local
journalists its staff; but in the announcing of the
Chronicles purpose and policy, rather poor psycholo
gy used
Every intelligent Detroiter knows that this
weekly from Chicago not brought to the Motor
City to supply any existing local need but rather to
provide artificial circulation to satisfy and hold the
Defenders national advertisers. Detroiters know
that the paper has not to make jobs for To-
cal citizens but to make jobs for workers in the De-
tenders Chicago plant and to siphon from the peck
cts Of local business people money which should stay
in circulation in Detroit
The citizens of Detroit also fully realize that the pol
cies outlined in the paper neither original
new, but have been pursued for time by the

cal N. A. A. c. p. the Booker T. Washington Trade
