JOBS

The ranks of the iobless increasing and the
plight of our people in practically all OF the large
urban centers of the north is extremely acute de-
spite government relief We know we'll that govern
relief is inadequate and the recent economy cuts
in Washington are not helping our condition. Inc
few Jobs that are available usually denied the
Negro Our tails are being crowded with Negroes
who. penniless and unable to get adequate relief
are forced to take their loaf of bread rather than
earn it. In Chicago statistics reveal that every other
Negro is on relief and in New York the situation Is
not much better In our own Detroit the army OF the
jobess marches on.
Although the Negro is worse off, the perverse con-
ditions of our economy are being felt everywhere
among all people. While this land of plenty" is
boasting an al-time unemployment record, the big
business barons are crying about taxes. The gov
eminent, it seems has no right to interfere with
mans profits The same argument runs that If man
starves he has nobody to blame but himself, although
he cannot find Job and must not steal To hungry,
iobess father these arguments are empty and non
sensical and they cannot placate his bitterness.
This huge unemployment army may become ar
ticuate if our conditions continue and their cries may
well be a warning for all America We who shout
save democracy and praise our economic system may
find that we are faced with army of hungry, dis
possessed men and women who are asking IN unison,
"Where are my opportunities, where are my jobs Z"
Washington is going to have to answer these cues
lions now or in the near future and those leaders
who are shouting down with relief" will find them
selves leaders no longer. Congress cannot dismiss
the plight of ten million people with shrug of the
shoulder, and the ten million are increasing their
numbers.

STRANGE POLITICS
numbers.

The question of who will be president in 1910
is currently about to the political prophets in
sane The silence of President Roosevelt on the pos
sbiity of third term has rendered the 1910 political
puzzle even more difficult Of course there is no end
to prophets and speculation One Illuminating an
nouncement in the prophecies of the moment is sup
piled by the Republican columnist Mark Sullivan,
who usually twists the events of the nation to suit
his Wall street fancy. He suggests that the South
might go Republican if the New Deal continues its
policies toward Negroes. We quote Mr. Sullivan:
For the South, in addition to economic objections
to the New Deal, has become fully aware that the
New Deal favurs Negro suffrage-not only favors
it but insists on it,
M. Sullivan says further that the South has al
ways opposed the Republican party precisely because
itso strongly advocated greater Negro suffrage Now
that the New Deal is doing the same thing, Mr. Sui
livan believes that the white South might even go
so far as to rig up third party vote for Repub
lican under another name. Apparently the South
is caught between two tall dark devils, the pro-
Negro Republican and the pro-Negro New Deal
Democrat The South is living in fear of Negro suf
frage and both major parties more or less morally
bound to extend the suffrage. The South's only hope
rests on the possibility that the Democrats will choose
a man as their candidate who is himself Southerner

Here once again in American history we find
he Negro in the thick of a national dilemma and
once again the white South is on the wrong side of

cratic rights to its colored citizens is open vio-
alton of all that democracy stands for. Eventual
Negro suffrage in the South is inevitable was

Negroes are preparing themselves and their children
to value the Democratic way of life and they de-
handing the right to live it.
Republican or Democrat, the extension of Negro
suffrage must come, and the political party that
helps to achieve it will win millions of grateful black
votes. The Negro vote of the North has expressed
itself and it is generally respected but the millions of
black votes below the Mason and Dixon line can
make new America. And that day must soon dawn
despite the efforts of frightened Southerners or
pussyfooting reactionaries
