Green, White and Red
Cotors of Mexico's Flag

The coiors Of the Mexican flag,
green, white and red. are symbol
cal Of the aspirations Of Mexico
at the time 1t began Its life as an
independent nation. However,
states IN authority In the WASH
ingfOn Post. the meaning of the
national coat of arms Is much more
deeply rooted in the history. In the
traditions az :s, the ;-A'sua 'i,y
OF tie eauaIyy The eag.s gs3.<a
perched upon cactus pant,
stransl!ng serpent, Is rich In
meaning, rich In symbolism. For
centuries on end 1t has lived In
the hearts Of the Mexicans. in the
hearts of the people who descended
from the first settlers Of the VAL
hey Of Mexico; and, besides being
very much alive In cherished ira
diti0ns. It may have lived In real
ity; 1t must have lived in reality.
In the beginning Of the -Four
teenth century the AZtecs. an In
dian tribe. wandered into the rich
valley of Mexico from the north,
and spread throughout that part
Of the country. In 1925, having
halted on the shore OF the principal
lake. they beheld. perched upon
q cactus plant. royal eagle Of ex.
traOrdinary size and beauty, with
serpent In Its talons and Its
broad wings opened to the sun.
This was considered an excellent
omen By the priests and the place
was chosen as the site OF q great
Aztec city. The foundations OF this
future metropolis were laid at once
BY sinking piles into the shadows,
Tor the low marshes were half bur.
led in water. Such were the begin
nings Of the Great TenochItlan. cap.
itai Of q mighty empire whose de.
gree Of civilization astounded the;
conquering Spaniaras led By Cor
tea into Mexico.
During colonial times the nopal
and the eagle appeared ut various
times as decorative motives In the
coat of arms Of the City Of Mexico.
When independence was attained
In 1921 the tricolored flag was
adopted. and an eagle perched upon
the nopal Cactus plantl and
strangling q serpent, became the
national coat OF arms.

By D. L. H. West

Chicago-Anyone with an open
mind could easily see that the Con-
gress was dominated by communistic
or red influence. Bishop W. j. Walls
of the A. M. E. Zion church resent
ed the atheistic utterances Of Lang
ston Hughes on Sunday. He was so
disguised when the delegates ap-
plauded Hughes who had just ended
the recitation of a poem "ozie-Pow-
ell-Ozie Powell that he left the
building and refused to return to
pronounce the benediction.
When Hughes had ended his poem
with 'Now we know God does not
care" the attitude Of the Congress.
the. majority of whom seemed either
communists or inclined to be radical
in their thoughts and actions, these
tendencies caused wide break be-
tween the congress and leaders Of
various church. denominations.
When questioned on his refusal
to return Bishop Walls said 81 could
not square my conscience with pro-
notlncing the benediction when >
speaker denied the existence Of God
or the inference that God didn't
care as Langston Hughes put t."
Communist. Almost Ruin Meetins
Tactics resorted to by Communists
almost caused the Eighth Regiment
Armory to be closed to the hundreds
of delegates and visitors who braved
the sub-zero weather Friday night
to observe the opening session Of THE
Congress.
To sum up what It accomplished
1 would say that it accomplished
about as much as meetings Of SINH
lar character have and that was. very
little. It's sponsors might have knowr
that a problem as weighty as the
Negro problem could not be solved
in four DAYS. It was looked upo-
with suspiciousness in that 1t wa.
clearly anti-church, and the anti N
A. A. C. P. it had too many withir
it's own immediate circle who were
jealous.
All that happened was expected
no matter how many organizations
get together in a mass movement
they never accomplish anything the
they may be competent but their
sum total is non-competency. What
the American Negro needs is leaders
not organizations. We might as well
continue our search for a leadership
for in a lot of little minds as in
long string of cyphers the total sum
is nothing.
The Congress was such worth
less conglomeration Of organizations
that attended its sessions Saturday
and Sunday morning, spent the bal
ance of the day sightseeing. In fact
[, along with many others, did not
bother to pay the registration fee
Of fifty cents.
