are not sold on the matter Of vocation
al education. They do not believe in
it and therefore cannot commend it TO
their pupils. It is safe to say that the
major results of the entire program of
Negro education can be resolved into
two fundamental reactions 10 the
world about US, the white collar CON-
plex' and the protest complex. A
side from these two reactions the NOR
al effects of our education are negllg-
ible. The situation demands that some
body do some straight talk to Negroes
themselves. When we shall have got
ten the white mar told and have learn
ed to speak up to" and back at him,
We are still a long way from the Prom
ised land Of economic an social saliva
ton. Negroes have faults no less than
the white mar and they should be tod
of these faults.
Should See Our Own Faults -
A spoiled race in this age is at a
serious disadvantage and this will be
more disadavantageous as the gener-
atoms come and go. Israel must be
told of his sins. We are not doing the
cause of Negro advancement to direct
all of u criticism at the dominant
white nan and fail to exhort and adj
monish u own people along the ways
of survival. The white man makes Us
race conscious, but we ourselves must
achieve vote consciousness, j~ob-consc-
i%ousness, dollar consciousness and
farm consciousness. Strangely enough
almost the entire Negro press is adj
dressed to the white man rather than
to the Negro. This need not be so with
the columns of the white press open to
Negroes. The Negro press should be
addressed to the Negroes and when we
would address the white reading world
let III do it through the white press.
Our race needs some straigt talk on
many matters. Our inclination to e.
wade this is a dangerous symptom!

HIGHLIGHTS

Mr.. Chamberlain's "Stop Hitler ,
drive started out with doloas flying
and bands playing. But, as some asst
ute observers anticipated, the march
rapidly slowed down. 1t may be pos
sible on some future day to really
round up the powers in a united front
against Der Fueher-but, at this writ
ing, it certainly isn't an imminent pos
sibility.
The drive involved obtaining de-
clarations opposing further German
aggression, and threatening economic
and military action against the Reich
in case she again stepped off the reser-
walton, from France, the Soviet Union,
Poland, Rumania, and a number of les
ser powers. France agreed eagerly
never in her long history has she been
in SO dangerous a position as today,
with enemies facing her on three
fronts. But with France, enthusiast
ic cooperation came to an end. The
Soviets were interested, but were dis
tinctly distant-Stalin makes no bones
of the fact that he regards Mr.. Cham
berlain in particular, and British for
eign policy in general, with extreme
doubt as to its basic motives. Poland,
a key nation if the agreement were TO
be worth the paper it was to be written
on. said No. The Polish foreign minis
ter. Josef Beck, has been called, right
ly or wrongly, the most astute and
most INSCRIPTIONS foreign minister IN
Europe. and he is fairly well SATISFIED
to let Britain and France sweat. His
ace in the hole is a non-aggression pact
with Germany whose expiration date
is 1914, and he apparently believes II
is to Hitler's interest to keep his Word
to the letter in Poiand's case
Rumania was in the difficult posi-
ton of wanting to say Yes, ard not be-
able to. For King Carols rich little
kingdom is today in the most precar-
ious position of any European power.

CALVIN'S DIGEST =
WOMEN'S ADVANCE
by Floyd J. Calvin
listed by Editor & Publisherl

Before the Marian Anderson incl
dent is closed we think the great adj
vance which this episode has brought
to colored women should be mention
ed. Usually colored men get the spot
light in prestige-bu.lling and status =
raising flares, but this time a woman
precipitated and was the heroine of q
national f~urore, the glalaCEr and pene-
trating quality of wni:h is just as po-
tent as the rise Of Joe Louis to the
heavyweight boxing championship, the
climax of the career of DR.. Geo. w
Carver, or the record of constructive
