lish for national commerce rule
which would prevent the abuses which
have brought about the condition from
which we suffer. The great majority
Of investors, the great majority OF
employees. the great majority OF man
ayers, the great majority OF con-
sumers, are interested only in what
is fair and equitable, but the sense
less system which we have permitted
to grow up enables a very small
minority to prey upon us all.
Let me suggest to you few OF the
rules which I would write into the
charter of every corporation doing a
national business. 1 would provide
that no person should be eligible to
serve as an officer or director unless
he was an actual owner of stock in
the corporation. Some States issue
charters which permit persons who
have no financial interest or invest
ment to take complete control over
the money invested by others.
Officers Would Be Trustees.
I would provide that no director
or officer should be a stockholder or
any employe of another corporation
engaged in the same business, nor an
officer or director or employe of an
other corporation which has advanced
or loaned money to the original cor
poration. Because that is not pro-
hibited by some States, officers and
directors have been known to use
their positions for their own enrich
ment and to the disadvantage of their
stockholders by paying exorbitant
prices to other corporations in which
they have a financial interest. I
would require every officer and direc-
tor of a corporation to be a trustee
to the stockholders Of that corpo-
ration.
In brief I would write into the
charters of every corporation engaged
in commerce among the States certain
fundamental principles of justice and
equity which would protect the in
vestor, the employe, the consumer

was In tie period from 1923 to 1925.
National industry. more than half Of
which Is controlled. as I have already
indicated. by less than one-half Of !
per cent Of all the corporations en-
gagged in 1t, is already more active
than 1t was before the crash.
That is surely factor in which we
can take satisfaction, but 1t does us
little good because at the same time,
according to the statistics of the Bu-
reau Of Labor, employment In the
same was only IS per cent of what 1t
was in the same period from 1923 to
1925.
In otner words, though business is
back to more than normal, the unem-
ployment problem has not been solved,
because the unemployment with which
we are primarily concerned Is caused
by monopoly rather than by the de-
preston.
Would Not Try to Wreck Firms.
Let me not be misunderstood. I
would NIT deprive any man Of single
dollar Of his property. would not at
tempt to wreck single corporation,
but I most assuredly would and will
urge. to the very best Of my ability,

by which o very small proportion of
promoters and financiers have laid
their hands upon the economic destiny
OF the American people.

Ethiopia in her own right is
fighting for her own. Nobody can
give any reason for Italy taking
Ethiopia to exploit as her territory
from the lawful owners and occu-
pants whose government is older
than that of Italy. 1t is unfortun-
ate for Christian civilization that
Mussolini has gotten at large in
the world, and it is in the interest
of civilization that Christian peo-
pie and nations everywhere come
together to put this anti-Christ
down and to free mankind from
his menace as those did who shut

NAMES NEGRO
LABOR EXPERT

WASHINGTON, D. c. (ANP)-
With one-sixth of the entire relief
population of the United States
composed of Negroes, and num-
Der of questions concerning racial
matters arising in the administra-
ton of the $4,000 100000 work re-
lief fund, the Works Progress Ad-

capacity under the Federal Elmer
I'D ney Relief Administration.
The function of Mr.. Smiths Of
flee is to maintain close contact
with the various state WPA adj
ministrations and to provide an ac-
curate, up-to-date picture of the

alysis of a mass of correspondence.
and by personal contacts with Of
ficials and private individuals in
terested in Negro problems.
From information thus gathered,
data is furnished other administra-
ton officials to guide them in the
formation of policies in which the
racial question is in any way in
volved. A number of detailed stu
dies of Negroes on relief have been
prepared in the course of this
work under Mr.. Smiths supervi-

DR.. WESLEY SAYS
OLD TYPE NEGRO
IS disappearing

CHICAGO (ANP) - Speaking
at the Monday forum OF Church Of
the Good Shepherd, DR., Charles H.
Wesley of Howard University t5ld
a large audience that slowly but
surely the three types of 'tradi-
tional Negroes" are slowly but
surely disappearing
DR.. Wesley, besides being pro
fessor Of history at Howard, is the
president Of the Alpha Phi Alpha
fraternity and author Of Negro
Labor in the United States"
Or. Wesley believes that tradi-
ton embraces three types Of Ne
gres, namely: the pathetic Uncle
Tom; the comic. happy-go-lucky;
and the vicious, criminal raper. To
counterbalance the Uncle Tom
type, Dr. Wesley cited such mill
tant Negroes as Toussaint Lover
ture and Nat Turner; as against
the comic character, such ambi-
tious men as Pushkin, Dumas, Co
mez, and Henry o. Tanner-and
finally in contrast to the vicious.
lawless rogue, men of such fine
principles of loyalty as the follow
ers of Denmark Vesey, who all
died, by execution, with silent lips.
DR.. Wesley next considered the
reasons for the persistence Of the
tradition, even in the face Of such
incongruous examples as those a
bove. He placed first in import
ance among these reasons the Ne
groes' passive acceptance of the
tradition, for instance, by playing
the type character on the stage.
The next reason he believes to be
the complete omission of Africa's
contribution to civilization from all
histories. declaring the ancient Ga
ma and Bornu civilizations which
compare favorably in every respect
to their contemporary Teutonic
types. Another very important
reason he holds to be the nearly
absolute omission in history texts
of the contributions of the modern
Negro such as Samuel Coleridge-
Taylor in music.
The passing of the Negro tradi-
ton may be effected, according to
DIR. Wesley only through ourselves,
which fact he emphasized by the
following very apt quotation: He
reditary bondsmen, know ye not
who would be free must them
selves strike and blow?" He adj
vocates that the Negroes use the
term Negro" without any of the
stigma intended and thus ultim-
ately make it name to be utter
ed with pride because of the wor-
thy people it designates. In addi-
ton to this DR.. Wesley suggested
that Negroes as a group align
themselves with all sympathizers
be they capitalists or anti-capi-
talists.
