CALVIN'S DIGEST
BY FLOYD J. CALVIN
(Listed by Editor &c PubIisher)

The Purge
IL would now appear that the
Democratic party, on election day,
was "purged" from without, and
not merely from within as was in
dicated in the early fall. The Re-
publicans picked up about Is states
and nea&ly so seats in Congress.
We think the purge was
good thing for the country. and it
was certainly good thing for the
Negro. We have been looking with
increasing disfavor on the impress
sion that the Democrats have put a
mortgage on the Negro vote via the
WPA and other forms Of relief.
Many people accept relief because
Of necessity but that does not mean
that they approve an economic sys-
TEN which makes the dole part
Of its philosophy.
We still think the Democrats (the
New Dealers) have wrought well in
the field of reform, and that they
have been very fair in their atti-
tude toward the Negro. Because Of
this, the New Deal is still deserving
of consideration by the Negro--on
it's record. But those who look be
yond immediate gains to the ulti-
| mate welfare Of the Nation, cannot
but see that the cost OF the "emerg-
ency'' IS staggering, and that it il
time to slow down on spending il
| we don't expect TO all be working
to support the Government, instead
| of ourselves, before very long.

tian law of charity is not concerned
merely with negative acts, however;
it obliges us to perform positive
acts Of kindness towards the Negro
as well. Since the Negro is q fel-
low member of the Mystical Body OF
Christ, Christians must go beyond
the demands of strict justice in their
dealings with him.
In the writing of this chapter re-
ference is frequently made to the
Interracial Review of New York,
and to 1Interracial Justice, by
Father John LaFarge, which indi-
Gates that the interracial movement

relations in America.
Cab Galloway
Visitors to the Great White Way
| in New York cannot escape the
name Of Cab Galloway. At this
crossroads of the world, where on
election night it was estimated that
| $4,000 people stood in the street
watching the returns flashed cleo
trically, there must be magic in any
name that appears on "the boards.
And there is magic in the name
Of Cab Galloway. A mere youth
even yet-born in I907--Cab is
| now in his third season on the main
stem. Cab is rated as one of the
best showmen in his time; and he
also stands high for his ability to
create new catchwords. Only a few
| weeks ago we read that 100000
litter bugs" turned out in Chicago,
| at the greatest ssjam session" in
history. 1t was Cab who coined
| litter bug.
| Cab has just issued a new and
J revised edition of his Catalogue. ]"
His tive" is picturesque, to say the
least. All in all, he gives to his
group dynamic representation at the
top of show business--as glamorous
and compelling as any it has ever
had.
