uals. 1t is not race, but social and
economic environments, that play
a dominant role in the lives of hui
man beings Of all races.
"The fundamental policy of the
Urban League is to have Negroes
and whites sit down as equals, to
, form some solutions to the problem
of race--not necessarily equals in
social position, wealth, and power,
but equals in passion for justice.
Nothing happens in America to the
Negro alone. What affects him,
affects whites alike, and vice
versa"
DR.. Carter also stressed the fact
that the Negro is rapidly emerging
into a highly-developed state OF
class consciousness. He said,
"They are becoming more consci-
Gus of class than Of race, and as a
result are casting their lot more
and more with white workers. The
new day which is dawning will see
4 still greater divergence OF Ne
kroes along class lines. The
race issue will eventually be sub
merged by class interest. White
and black workers will cooperate
more and more, and present day
leaders Of both racial groups, who
fail to recognize this fact, will
sooner or later be deprived of their
leadership"
In conclusion the speaker said:
''The Negro must be given a larger
participation in community life.
The members of the race must also
strive for greater acknowledgment
and freedom from the so-called in
feriority complex. This feeling of
inferiority must be destroyed from
within. All free men, whether
civilized or primitive, have the
same fearless, manly carriage
which demands universal respect
Capability is obtained only by the
development of skill"
The program was interpreted by
lovely vocal numbers rendered by
Joe Brown, who sang "By and BY
by Burleigh, and can Exhorta-
ton" by Will Marion Cook, ac-
companied by DR.. Spann. Two
charming selections were also
rendered by Mrs. Nellie Dobsor
Plante, who sang Deep River" by
Burleigh, and "Swanee River" by
| Foster.

The chief speaker of the eve

Opportunity Magazine, who spoke
eloauently on the theme, "a Chal-
lenge To The New Day."
Among other things, the speaker
said:
Detroit is laboratory wherein
problems Of the Negro are in full
development. The greatest con-
trlbution which the Urban League
has made to the Negro and Ameri-
can democracy is that it has di-
vorced social disability from race.
It's research department has made
en- impartial, detached study into
the social phenomena growing
from the living OF Negroes in va
rious sections Of the country.
Some years ago, It was believed
that the disabilities and shortcom-
ings Of Negroes were attributable
TO their race, but this theory is fast
being discarded. Leading univer-
stiles, even in the far South, are
recognizing the fact that race has
little to do with the delinquency,
mortality, or morbidity of individ-

BILLION F O r
BONUS
BY William Pickens For AMP

The reelection siren is having a
terrific effect on Franklin Roose-
welt and his administration. A few
years ago he was standing like a
rock against the "bonus grab but
now he is dangling that sugar.
teat toward the vets, for the 1886
vote.
The rest Of the poor, dumb ami
mails comprising the general pub
lie look on, many Of them not
realizing that billion dollars can
not be manufactured out Of print
paper, but must be made by sweat
and blood and bone Of those who
work, and then taken ont Of their
already over-taxed pockets. Roose-
welt has already taken in one grab
five billion dollars for his re-elec-
ton; if he can take one billion
more for the veteran vote, that may
increase his chances.
Why should those who went into
the army, and never saw an enemy,
get a bonus from the rest of us?
Ue sent all the meat and wheat and
sugar to the "boys" in Khaki, while
we tasted and starved at home. /
am not talking about the war pro-
fiteers; I am talking about the mas
ses of us who stayed home and
starved and fed an army of nearly
five millions, supporting at the
same time a swollen war admin
stration and a pack Of swivel-chair
patriots. Some of those "dollar-a-
year men" got on the inside at a
dollar a year during the war, and
have been cleaning up a million

year ever SINCE out the advan-
tages gained and the wires they
have been able to pull since.
That is the way it is with armies,
especially with victorious armies,
after they devour the enemy, they
turn like a Frankenstein to dovour
the people back home.
A billion dollars will not satisfy
this crew: the next presidential
aspirant in 1910 will have to buy
them all over again.

BORAH ANGERED BY LANDON
POLICY ON GOLD STANDARD
But Is Silent on Possibility
That He May Bolt
the Party

WASHINGTON, June IL. (UP)
Gov. ALT Landon's gold standard
platform demands today brought
from Senator Borah the comment,
"What the hell does he mean by
that?"
Returning here today from the
bitter scene of convention battles
over the context of the platform,
Borah did not announce immedi-
ately what effect the last minute
changes by Landon regarding the
platform would have on Borah's
campaign support.
Borah was greeted at the sta
ton with the news that the elev-
enth hour platform skirmish en-.
gineered by Landon, which had
the effect of bringing into the
party declaration two ideas which
Borah strenuously had opposed,
namely, a currency linked to the
gold standard, and a constitution
al amendment for labor.
Borah shook his head emphati-
cally at all efforts to draw him out
regarding the possibility that he
may bolt the party.
