TIE NEGRO PRESS

Occasionally one hears members
Of the aow decaying Negro intelli-
gentsia remark. rather slurringly,
that they never read Negro news
papers. Pressed as to their rea-
sons for making known this indi.
cation OF deplorable lack OF bitelii-
gence they can be counted upon
to say, There's never anything in
them" OF course, all people. Negro
or white, who are informed as to
the activities involving tho achieve
ments and progress of Negroes,
know that the Negro press is the
only place where such knowledge
is or can be gained, and that GER
tainly the referred TO comment IS
falsity.
Numerous illustrations could be
mentioned to show the remarkable
progress made by the Negro press
as a dissemination of real news.
The only place to read news
about Negroes is In newspapers
published by Negroes for Negroes.
The only place where detailed in
formation about any creditable &C
tlvity or accomplishments of
Negroes can be read is not in the
daily papers, published by a dis
interested majority group. Neither
will such papers publish pictures of
outstanding Negroes.

THE NEW DEALS APPEAL

THE NEW DEALS APPEAL
The United States News, edited
by David Lawrence, noted writer
on national affairs, gives space to
the speech of Harold Ickes, Secre-
tary of the Interior, at the ami
versary meeting of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People Ia Baltimore
Characterizing Secretary Ickes'
speech as Neg Deals appeal for
Negro support, Mr.. Lawrence calls
attention to the fact that the Cabi-
net officer, who, by the way, is a
former Republican, lauded T. e
NAACP for fighting lynching and
segregation, and says that Mr..
Ickes stressed the New Deal
achievements and promises in be-
half of Negroes as a class that the
new democracy Is designed especi-
ally to aid"
David Lawrence is not far wrong,
the above from Secretary Ickes
does not read like a mighty strong
New Deal appeal for Negro sup

BALL EXPLAINS
DEAL FOR RAIL
EMPIRE
international News Service


A tale Of high finance by which
the Van Sweringen brothers
without investing q nickel" re-
gained control Of the vast railroad
empire they had lost to New York
bankers was unfolded today at
the Senate inquiry into railroad
finance.
The story was revealed by docu-
ments and the testimony Of George
A. Ball, Indiana manufacturer,
who joined with George A. Tom
linson, Cleveland shlpowner, in
rescuing the Van SweringenS.
Faith in Van Sweringens
Senator Wheeler cd Of Mon.
tana, heading the inquiry, first
disclosed how ]. p. Morgan and
Co. let other New. York bankers
in calling an overdue $40, 900, 600
loan to the Van Sweringens and
ordering an auction sale Of the
collateral securities which in
cluded all the stocks Of their rail
road empire. Then, after an ap-
peal for help from the Van Swer-
ingenS, Ball and TomlinSon
stepped in and purchased the as
sets from the bankers for $3,121,-
900.
The final step by which the Van
SweringenS were restored to power
came when Ball and Tomlinson
turned over control of their new
holding company to the brothers
by giving them a 10-year option
on the majority Of its common
stock without cost. Ball testified
this was done deliberately because
he desired the Van SweringenS in
control so long as his money was
invested.
Wheeler produced a memoran-
dunn that showed Tomlinson felt
the same way. It was an excerpt
from the minutes of a special meet
ing Of the directors of the Cleve-
land Midland Bank.
Morgan Pact Hinted
Wheeler also produced an agree.
ment between Ball, TomlinSon
and the Van Sweringen Brothers,
entered into before the New York
bankers held their auction sale.
In it Ball and Tomlinson agreed
to put up the money to purchase
back the empire through a hold.
company to be called Mid.
America.
Ball and Tomlinson further
agreed to give the Van Swerin.
gems for nothing a 10-year option
on the purchase of the majority
stock of the holding company
for $3.50.
Wheeler attempted to bring out
that there was an agreement be-
tween the Van SweringenS and j.
p. Morgan and Co., over how
much would be paid for the rail-
road securities at the auction
sale.
