FRANK R. CROSSWAITH

IN THESE DAYS of loose thinking
and talking concerning things socio-
economic, this writer is hesitant to
join the army of overnight Econom-
lists and SOciologists who never miss
an opportunity to dissertate upon
what's wrong with the world and
how to solve it." Albeit, one more
voice added to the bedlam of voices
couldn't do very much harm, anyway.
WE HOLD THIS view in spite of
the fact that many years ago. while
working in a factory during the dav.
ours was the privilege to attend the
Rand School of Social Science at night
under a scholarship from the Jewish
Daily Forward. During those two
years of night study and day work we
came under the influence of some of
the nations most renowned Econo-
mists and Sociologists.

social evils which flow from it, seem.

ly to avoid certain basic facts. We use
the term "purposely" because the
majority of those who speak and write
on the subject usually reflect the atti-
tude of the business interest" of the
nation. And that Interest" is princi-
pally concerned with maintaining the
economic system that is primarily re-
sponslble for the industrial chaos that
now obtains.
CAPITALISM IS THE name of the

and before we had succeeded in know
ing as much as we now know about
our world, the philosophy of "everv

But today with our ability to turn
night into day, to forecast with more
or less accuracy snowfalls. rainfalls.
etc, to literally harness wind and

and conduct should no longer be ac-

effort mankind can today supply in
abundance his every economic need.
The unclad, unhoused, unemployed

are not the result of our inability to
supply the necessities of life. In this

Love America

an American. The other two hun
bred 0rientals and others were
subjected to a sickening ordeal.
Yes, it's true that Orientals are
great smugglers, peddlers of dope
and many other unlawful practices.
Some of them have been known to
slit their skin, gouge a precious
gem under it and sew it back up
and many other uncanny doings,
but that's one individual out of say
twelve hundred millions. Some rich
Australians on the same boat who
were en- route to England, British
subjects mind you, who wanted to
visit in Canada for a week or two,
were forbidden the privilege unless
they rushed their Chinese gov
erness right on through Canada
without them. Yes, America
l know you segregate US, prosecute
us, you forget America, that no
black person under the colors of
any flag has ever been accused of
being a traitor or spy and yet
the most shameful segregation you
practice upon US is in your Army
and Navy, but love you, America.
I've screamed at you, America, for
having the nerve to criticise Hit
Ter when you lynch and burn alive
thousands of the citizens who have
consecrated the American soil with
their very blood, and the tears of
their women and children have
watered unhOly ground. And yet,
the great Armies of the U. S. have
never ratified the sword over the
heads of my people like Hitler does
the Jews. An individual under any
flag can hate another if he chooses,
and that's what we have here, in
dividual hatreds, which are by no
means fostered by our government.
1 am beginning to love you more,
America, because my people spend
millions and millions of dollars
playing policy yet they won't give
one penny to the N.A.A.C.P. and
other militant organizations who
seek to free them from the ten
tacles of these individual hatreds.
The Orientals and laborers in
other countries work their fingers
to the bone and still eat dry rice
and some sort of make-shift vege-
tables that were grown with hui
man fertilizer, while we gouge our
selves with pork chops and gin |
given to US absolutely free by the
New Deal. We remember the il
lustrious names of Dumas in |
France, Pushkin in Russia, S. Cole
ridge Taylor in England, Blessed |
Martin in Peru, Nolle Smith in Ha-
waii, but all we can think of is one
great parsonage under those flags. |
But, America, you have given US a
long list of greats, past and pres
ent. My readers may call their own
roll. Will my dear readers pause
here and remember that any Ne
gro under this flag can reach those
same great heights if he puts his
mind to it, that our whole race can
raise themselves to untold honors
if they so desire. You, too, dear
reader, will love AMERICA.

Poetic Thoughts
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.
Superstition

Superstition always been prevalent primitive peoples
Centuries before Christ they worshpped in seepes
Idols of gold, wood inaid with jewels,
Were built with the aid of slaves and mules.
Ancient people wanted to adore,
To their applications when they impored,
A God of god of rain,
A reply made their religion appear not in vain.
Still down in this enlightened world,
People still in a supersitious whirl
If spoon, fork is dropped noon,
It'll lie there forever if picks it up soon.
If black cat dashes their path
Misfortune is foreseen to dire wrath,
And fear pursues all day long
Dispeling all feeling for song.
Little is said about the good luck found
A horseshoe, open safety pin pointed round,
A white horse star bright in the sky
It's all superstition but give good luck try
