WORLD IN REVIEW

te 18th amendment, there is no
telling where fanatic Negrophobists
will stop.
What we need is more centrali-
cation of government instead of
less. The doctrine of state supre-
macy has increased the evils un-
der which this Kaleidoscope race
struggles in Dixie. The Negro has
no recourse except to the federal
government and the U. S. supreme
court. Give these states more power,
as advocated by Borah, with the
supreme court barred by the con-
stitution from interference with a
states social and economic legis-
lation" and there will be no bull
wark left. Colored victims of dis
e%riminatory "social and economic
legislation" in Alabama, Georgia,
Louisiana or other southern states
will no longer be able to raise hope
fut eyes to the federal government
and the supreme court but must
plead only with the prejudiced.
hate-filled legislators who passed
such laws.
This race cannot afford to have
the powers of the supreme court
curbed. Nor, for that matter, car

away"
BY James Whitcomb Riley

1 cannot say, and | will not say
That he is detd, he is just away
With a CHEEKY smile and a
wave Of the hand
He has wandered into an I'M
known land
And left us dreaming how very
fair
1t needs must be since he lin
gers there
And you-O, you, who the
widest yearn
For the old-time step and the
glad return
Think Of him faring on, as dear
In the love Of there as the love
of here
Think of him still as the same,

They tell me down at Shadydale
They like to put my kind in jail
Because God made us black

How all that God has made is good
But how would I get back?
But God is down at Shadydale.

HERE AND THERE

At a recent party of grown up where young peoples games
were furnishing the amusement, one of the women was asked
to tell What would you do if you were president" Of course
a humorous answer was expected. But after a moments hesita-
ton the lady replied, IF I were president I would stop lynch
ing of our people in these United States And for a brief mo-
ment there was complete silence, for all present realized that
the answe6 contained dynamite.
Tt is undoubtedly true that if any Negro were president of
this country that is exactly what he would first try to do. It
is also trye that all believe that if our present executive made
this objective of his must legislation an antilynch law would
be enacted in this session of Congress.

s. Employment Service, which is
under the Department of Labor
and has branches in nearly every
community. This agency, however,
has found it difficult and at times
almost impossible to reduce the
Negro ~relief-load by finding jobs
for colored workers, although
steady pressure to this end has
been exerted upon it both from the
outside organizations and from
within the Department itself.
Lieutenant Lawrence A. Oxley,
Secretary Perkins righthand man,
hai been conducting a nationwide
survey to determine the extent to
sahich u. S. e. s. is aiding Negroes
to find private employment. He has
insisted wherever possible that Ne
gro workers be appointed to work
in these Federal employmnt Of
fees, as he has found that most
white workers have little under
standing of the job problems Of
Negroes, and even less inclination
to go out of their way to find de-
cent jobs for colored persons.
The NYA is considering expan-
sion of its program of apprentice
training, whereby young people
are allowed to work with skilled
artisans while being paid by the
government. If this expansion can
be accomplished, the way may be
opened for young colored boys and
girls to find their place in the in
dustrial world, first, by learning !
how to do a job well, and second,
by showing the prospective en-
ployer that they are as capable of
fine work as the boys and girls of
other racial groups.

The biggest job of Negro Off

of finding some method of getting
colored workers back into private
industry.
The need of some definite curse
Of action grows day by day as
white workers leave the relief and

Officials here are amazed at the
unexpected reaction to proposals
that the Harrison Fletcher bill be
modified so as to provide for equit-
able sharing by Negroes in the be
nefits of the funds appropriated
and apportioned under the bill to
further education.
Both the NAACP and the Ma
tional Conference on the Problems
Of the Negro recently went on
record as favoring modification of
This bill, contending that if it were
passed in its present form, Negroes
especially in Che soutb-would
receive little benefit from it.
The proposed modification in
cluded % making regular reports
showing the distribution between
white arb Neero schools where
separate schools are maintained
compulsory, and ~ giving the Sc
lcretary of Inferior authority to
withhold payments to any state or
territory where discriminatory
practices are discovered.
Within the past week, however,
n number Of "educatorsv from the
south have come to the capitol
Il. protest against any such amend
ment to the bill. They claim that
IL isn't necessary-that their local
officials are perfectly honest, fair,
and capable of appointing the
money where it is most needed.
They say, too, that such safeguards
have been proposed are value
less, and that only through local
supervision can fair distribution be
carried out.
The tragedy of the situation is
tnat most of the Negroes making
these protests would admit, under
close questioning, that their rea-
sons for doing so is not that they
do not prefer Federal supervision
OF educational funds to that of
their local boards of education, but
that their white superiors in the
south have sent them to Washing
ton for the purpose of killing
a proposal designed expressly for
their benefit, under penalty Of los
ing their jobs if they fail to carry
out Instructions.
Negro Officials in Washington
sense something of what is hap
pening and intend to continue
their fight for close Federal SUPER
vision of any new funds made az
ailable by the government for edu-
cation. However, it will be difficult
to erase from the minds of white
politicians here the false impression
these emissaries from the south
have given them.

Morgenthau Says No Borrowing

public debt was contemplated in the
next two months, offered today for
sale or exchange between S450,00000
and s727 100000 of refunding securi-

This was interpreted by officials as a
reiteration of the administrations in
tention to hold down expenditures
for the remainder of the current

Since today's offerings will replace
outstanding securities they will not
