ANTI-LYNCH PETITIONS

That neglected anti-lynch petition,
which needs few more signatures to
fill out the page, should be completed
at once and mailed to the office of the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, 65 Fifth Ave,
New York City.
Take the petition to the next club
meeting, or call ON the neighbors in the
block. 1t is easy to get signatures for
such a worthy cause. Hundreds will
readily sign. The New York office re-
ports that it receives an average of
5000 signatures a week; that it wants
100000 signatures in order "to per-
NIT full cross-section of the entire
country to express support of the anti
lynehing bill"
Let New England do well her part.
Fill out the petitions; don't put off !;
mail them without further delay.

REFUGEES

The 9O7 German refugees, who were
not allowed to land anywhere on this
side Of the Atlantic, have at last found
Ravens in European countries. Even
powerful political and financial back
ing could not save them from the heart
rending anxiety of being restrained on
shipboard for days with no prospect
of breaking down the opposition to
their landing in the Americas or on
any of the adjacent islands. For awhile
it seemed that in their desperation
they would be forced to return to Ger
many and the horrors awaiting them
there at the hands of Nazi oppressors.
Figure it out what would happen to
colOred inhabitants if fascism succeed
ed in getting the upper hand in Amer
lea. In order to develop strength and
thrive, Fascism always selects a min
orlty group on which to focus race
hatred. Is there any doubt who would
be the victims here?

A NEW KIND OF PLAY

1t is too early to predict that the
Forthcoming production of the colored
actors on the Federal Theatre Project,
'The Trial of DIR. Beck, is the answer
to any of the pressing social problems
of our race.
1t is safe to say, though, that in this
enterprise the largely white audiences
who will view the drama will see an en-
tirely different colored man from what
they have become accustomed to see.
Instead of the valet, butler, funky or
buffoon that the stage and screen have
made us, the audiences will see colored
lawyers and doctors and witnesses who
typify all of the cultural progress the
race has made in its three-quarters of
a century of struggle.
Whether you like the drama or not.
you can feel reasonably sure that you
will like the new type of colored man
that it will portray. In fact it would be
well If there were more plays of this
type to carry on the hard job of mis-
sionary work undertaken in the effort
to educate people to the fact that col
ored Americans are not a race of SER
wants or clowns.

LOOKING AROUND
and BEYOND
By
FRANK R. CROSSWAITH

SOCIALISM IMPLIES THE collec.
tive ownership and democratic man
agement of those social and economic
agencies upon which the life and han.
piness of society depends. 1t therefore
places before anything the life han.
piness and security of society and
differs from capitalism in that the
latter places before everything else
the element of profit. Under CAPITAL.
ism profit is the God before which all
knees are bent and to which all ideals
are sacrificed. If there is an epidemic
in the community the price of medicine
rises with the fee of the physician If
there are too many deaths, undertakes
pOunce upon the tragedy of the be-
reaved to increase funeral costs.
When there is a shortage of homes.
rent rises. The apologists for this in.
human, jungle-like behaviour usually
hide behind the smoke screen of ''hu-
man nature" or the equally spurious
''Iaw of supply and demand" They
insist that private property is sacred.
But when asked to distinguished be-
tween private property of a personal
nature and private property of social
nature their thinking suddenly ceases.
In this regard, it is interesting to note
that in the course of human progress.
as society becomes enlightened and
more and more inevitably invades
recognizes its collective interest it
fields hitherto considered within the
realm of private prerogatives and
where profit was considered of first
importance. For example, the equip
ment for extinguishing fire was once
privately owned. But the social danger
inherent in such an arrangement soon
became apparent. The private owners
were of course concerned primarily
with profit; more fires meant more
profit but on occasion fire had the
habit of breaking out in squalid quar-
ters among people who could not pay
for the services of the then privately
owned fire department. Obviously,
what happened in those instances has
so enlightened our society that not
only is the equipment today socially
owned and available to the rich and
poor alike without any though of profit
but we have even established fire
alarm boxes where citizens may send
in their request for the use of the
fire department without having to de-
post a nickel. Compare this with the
Telephone Company which is privately
owned. Someone in your household
may be dying and need the immediate
attention of a Doctor. Around you
may be a thousand so-called public
telephone booths" but without nickel
you'll never get connected with the
Doctor This is just one example of
the difference between private owner
ship for profit and social ownership
for service.

LAST WEEK WE made reference
TO the "unclad, unhOused, unemployed
and hungry millions of men, women
and children we now see in the world
in spite of the fact that with or with
out the aid of chronological equipment
we can amply supply the worlds popu-
latlon with every necessity upon which
human life rests.
ONE OF THE most difficult of mod
ern educational tasks is to get the
average individual to understand and
to appreciate the fact that not so very
long ago, as time is measured by the
yardstick of history most of the
people of the then known world were
hungry most of the time Luxuries
were unknown to them. Their menu
was simple and limited to raw meat
and vegetation. The abundance of
fresh milk, eggs, fruits, vegetables.
meats and all the other things that go
to make up the fare of today were
unknown a few hundred years ago. or
II not unknown, were out of reach of
the ordinary person The people of
our world not only take these luxuries
for granted, but like the builders of
the Tower of Babel, they have become
utterly confused and COMPOUNDED.
WHEN THE FAMOUS Sir Thomas
Moore wrote his equally famous Utopia

have glass in their windows and meat

dows are glassed, and many of us are

NOW WHEN WE compare this yes
teryear of ignorance and scarcity of
our forefathers with the PLETHORA Of
knowledge and potential plenty of to-
day, we cannot desist the conclusion
that the answer to unemployment, hun
ger and hard times is not to limit pro-
duction, as is being advocated nor is
1t to raise price levels. Basically. the
answer is to be found in applying to
industry the principles of democracy
which we have more or less success
fully applied to government. But, re-
tCrts the unthinking and those easily
influenced by name, that would be
Socialism. Well what of it? What is
Socialism?

the committee had been given a very

to sympathize with the problem. and
TO do something about it eff, and when
they could"
The committee was augmented and
meet next week to plan a concrete
form OF action. The original COM

Many suggestions were offered for
concrete action within the next few
weeks, among them, stickers placed
over the amount of each bill with the
company, refusing to let the Gas
meter readers in ones home in pro-
test OF the company's refusal to give
the committee conference, payment
of bills in pennies cutting the bills
with each company and picketing.
