1896 CALLED
DECISIVE
YEAR
Negro Vote Will Be
Balance Of Power
Says NAACP
IGNORE PARTIES

New oYrk, Jan. 18-The 1886
election offers the Negro voter
a greater opportunity than al
any time in recent years to in.
fluenee the election, it was de.
clared here Sunday by Walter
White, NAACP secretary, in a
packed mass meeting at Metro
politan Baptist church in Har-
lem.
After surveying the national
scene and reeounting the pre-
dlcament of the Negro, Mr..
White declared
"The 1886 presidential cleo
ton offers, through a combina-
ton of circumstances, an UNI
paralleled opportunity to the
Negro voter to utilize his vote
In such fashion as may conceiv-
ably determine the election. In
seventeen states with a total
electoral vote of PSI the Negro
vote holds the balance of power
in any normal or close election.
When this potential vote is con-
sidered in the light of the party
majorities of the 1924, 1928 and
1882 elections and the latest
figures of the Literary Digest
Fortune and other polls on the
Roosevelt policies, it can be real
lied how great an opportunity
is the Negro voters to help
solve national as we'll as his
own problems.
ut is of the utmost impor-
lance that the Negro vote this
year should ignore party lab
els and support men and meas
ures, which would lessen the
evils from which the Negro suf-
fers-lynching, relief and job
discrimination, disfranchise-
unequal approtionment Of
school and other public funds ;
and also the Negro voter should
be inspired with the broad Wis
ion which surpasses racial sell
Far more than most
Americans realize the
Negro voter is thinking today
rs he has never thought before.

Negro-have no appeal to him

Slanderous Maerial Against
The Negro People

The indignation of s~elf-respect-
ing Negroes and justice-loving
whites should be at its peak when
it views the treatment of the Ne
gro people and their problems on
that national institution, the rad

The jim-crow attitude of broad
casting stations, is demonstrated
when we find that radio not only
discourages a fair approach to
the situation, but actually fosters
and encourages definitely anti
Negro programs.
Even so innocuous an effort as

Church and the Negro Question"
attempted by the Reverend James

White Priest Cut Off
In the discourse on the Christ
ian doctrines of race relations,
Father ellis, began to detail in a
general way the injustices which
are being committed daily against
millions of American citizens of
Negro origin, Immediately the
station received several protesting
phone calls, and the speaker was
cut off after twelve minutes at
the microphone.
A program sponsored by the
National Association for the Adj
Yancement Of Colored People for
the purpose Of raising a fund to
fight for the admittance of Negro
students to the University Of
Maryland was cancelled by Sta
ton WCAO, Baltimore in Octob-
er, 1885. The program, written
and enacted by Negroes consisted
of a half-hour series of sketches,
depicting some of the ~anti-segre-
cation campaigns waged by the
in sections of the South,
as well as the dramatization of
several lynching episodes of the
past few years.
The station manager, upon see

manded that it be tuned down,
and that parts of it be left out
entirely. When the NAACP. re-

Democrats actually will aid Presl-
dent Roosevelt's campaign, in the
opinion of Norman Thomas, So
cialist nominee for president and
astute veteran of the political

envy guess is that Lemke can
not get enough support to serl-

the only political effect of his can

Alfred M. Landon," Thomas said
"But T do not think his candidacy
will get far. 1t is too late to eff

Thomas was caustic in his com
ment on the statement issued last
night by former Governor Smith

urging the Philadelphia cnoven-
ton to GUST Roosevelt and nomi.

"This nomination of Jefferson

Thomas said. "The other day
Roosevelt was claiming Jefferson's

WASHINGTON, June % (uP)
The movement for consideration
of a restored gold standard has
received additional impetus with
publication of a Brookings lnstl-
tuition study. of the adequacy OF
gold supply.
The report, written by Dr.
Charles o. Hardy, held that no
| existing or prospective deficiency
in the world gold supply stands in
the way of restoration of an in
ternational gold standard, when
ever such step is considered adj
vantageous.
On the contrary, Hardy held
that the chief dangers are an eX-
cessive supply of the metal. From
this arises the problem of pre-
venting undue credit expansion
without stepping up gold reserve
requirements to level where pro-
portionately increased increments
of gold will be needed to take care
of future growth.
Inadequacy of gold supply was
not factor contributing to the
decline of prices between 1924
and 1929, Hardy held, and there
was no immediate prospect of a
serious drop in gold production
before the depression.
ANALYSIS FOLLOWS OTHERS
The Brookings analysis is the
last contribution to the study Of
possibility of revival of an inter-
national standard.
Two high officials of the Fed
eral Reserve System-Dr. E. A.
Goldenweiser, chief economist,
and Adolph C. Miller, former gov
ernor and special member-re-
Gently made speeches heralding
such a return in modified form.
Secretary Henry Morgenthau,
Jr., of the Treasury, has said that
the United States will cooperate
in such a movement as soon as
the rest of the world is ready.
Treasury officials have said they
believe that the world is econom-
ically ready because the balance
of international payments has at
tanned a relative stability, but
that unsettled conditions abroad
aided UNNECESSARILY by war fears
ARE holding back any concerted
efforts.
Hardy's book said that although
the gold delegation of the League
of Nations in 1929 forecast pro-
duction of $2,749,000,000 of gold
in 1931-1934, inclusive, actual
production amounted to 3,4S5,-
100000 Goth figures in present
dollars of reduced gold equiva-
lence).
RESERVE METAL PILES UP
In addition, extension of mining
areas, withdrawal of gold from
circulation, increase of gold in
central reserves, and falling
price level contributed to the re-
dundance of the yellow metal.
Furthermore, the report stated.
restoration of the gold standard
doubtless will be on a basis of
