FRANCE BECOMING NEGRO
FED" HITLER SAYS

5 Only in France is there today
more than even an inner unanimity
between the plans of the Jew-con-
trolled stock exchange and the de-
sires of a chauvinistically oriented
national statecraft. In this very
identity lies an immense danger
for Germany. Exactly for this rea-
son France is, and remains, by far
the most terrible enemy. This
people, which is constantly becom-
ing more Negrofied, constitutes by
its tie with the aims of Jewish
world dominion a grim danger for
the existence of the European
white race.-From Adolph Hitler's
"Mein Kampf."

A Bishop Leaves
a Fortune

According to the administrator
report on the estate of the late
Bishop ]. C. Martin of the CINE.
church, who died February 6, in
Memphis, Tenn, he left a fortune
of over 100000. This is sizable
estate to leave, especially for a
man who has been a clergyman all
his life. He is said to have gained
financial foothold about 20
years ago, when he was made book
agent for the CINE. Publishing
House at Jackson, Tenn.
The fortune left by Bishop Mar
tin creates much interest, especial
ly when one considers the poverty
of the average Negro church. 1t
seems strange that the opportunity
for making money is opened so
easily to those in high places,
while at the same time, all the in
situations operated by the church
are just jump ahead of the mort
gage holders.
If the case of Bishop Martin was
an exception, we would not men
ton it. But on the contrary, too
many of the higher officials of our
denominations apparently roll in
wealth, while the men who toll in
the churches, and struggle to keep
the doors open, too often live in
dire poverty. Surely any church
denomination that can enrich its
princes so handsomely, should also
be able to provide for the care of
its superannuated clergymen, I'M
derpaid missionaries, and bring its
schools up to standard grade

By w. NJ. SMITH
By w. NJ. SMITH

Over the radio Sunday l caught
just the concluding phrases of a
talk on the subject, "a Job for
Everyone.
Despite the conviction in many
peoples minds, that a job for
everyone is "a delusion and a
snare" and that enough has been
heard of "crackpot" solutions, you
and know that this solution is the
only one that will finally bring re-
suits, whether brought out by
"crackpot" or by the wise men of
Washington.
Up to now the wise men of
Washington have signally failed. I
am not at all sure but that the
failure is largely due to lack of
consideration given to some of
these crackpot remedies.
Certainly they have not been
tried; certainly they have not, for
that reason, failed.
The President has been attempt
ing to spend his way back to pros
perity. In the past four years he
has disposed of some twelve (12)
billion dollars. The only appreci-
able result has been an enormous
increase in the public debt now
placed at forty (40) billion dollars,
In the thinking of many millions
of troubled people this is as
Cracked pot" an idea as the hui
man mind can conceive. Seeking
for a fitting comparison these say
it is comparable to the Townsend
Plan"

WHY DIDN'T I!

Editor:
Why didn't your paper criticise
the Pioneer Press for it's offending
headline of some days ago which
referred to colored people as
"Darkies"? We noticed you
jumped on Cedric Adams of the
Minneapolis Star for what we are
sure was an unintentional offense.
The Press editors who let that
headline get by need the censure
of all of our people. There is no
use trying to boycott that paper
in St. Paul, it's the only paper we
have, but we should do like M. C..
Brown did and voice our protests.

Poetic Thoughts
eff Nothing Happens"
By MORRIS GIBBS. sr.

How often have heard people saying,
IF nothing happens" eff the Lords willing"
Still is among some, form of explanation,
When fear of the future doubted protection
Habits and forms of talk developed,
With peculiartes by people who spiritually enveoped
And constantly the thought is in mind
That spiritual reference gives protection when resigned
While fearful, hesitate,
Can't get anywhere, always late
"If nothing happens" We'll repeat It'll we're hoarse,
While the other group let's fate take its
It's noticeable in this generation,
That this sayings not used, due to education
Of thought in regard to life's aspect,
For evolution disassociates doubt in every respect.
eff nothing happens" should be no barrier
To ones spiritual growth for only tarriers
Hinder joyful and fail to hear,
The ring of confidence, which knows fear.
