A Bishop Leaves
a Fortune

According to the administrators
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 a sizable
estate to leave, especially for a
man who has been a clergyman all
his life. He is said to have gained
a 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

be able to provide for the care of

FED" HITLER SAYS

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
it's tie with the aims of Jewish
world dominion a grim danger for
the existence of the European

Over the radio Sunday I 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 ga 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 a
"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 (4O) 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"
Assuming for the sake of argu-
ment that the Townsend Plan is as
Cracked pot" as that comparison
would make it, this much is sure:
Had it been put in operation by
the last Congress and had it lost,
as the wise ones said it would, ST.
OOO, 100000 a year it would yet
have saved money, for before its
losses reached or exceeded the ire
mendous spending of the past four
| years, its colossal failure to accom-
plish the expected would have been
demonstrated to the complete sat
isfaction of its most rabid support
ers and it would have met just
and early cancellation.

WINGED, and still am convinced, that
the Townsend Plan has merit and
l knew, as I still know, that the
way to prove my thinking is cock
eyed, is to try it.
But DR.. Townsend and his aides
were not politicians, though they
have learned something since, of
the way politicians think and act.
I was as sure as the Doctor him
self that when the Congress con-
vened in its January session the
Townsend Plan would be proposed
and would go over with a bang.
But the Congress of wise men
who were not sure how business
would respond to such action coun-
selled delay. In the course of that
delay the convictions of many
weaker members were undermined;
they were made to see the dire eff
fects of going contrary to the ex-
periences of business; they were
told the government had plans for
recovery which should first be tried
then the success of these measures
would make unnecessary any such
divergent controversial matter as
this troublesome Townsend Plan.
The Townsendites were so sure
of their position they were satisfied
to wait. Weakened Congressman
were glad of an opportunity to
escape from the spot upon which
the Townsend people had impaled
them.
The result everybody knows. The
Townsend Plan was never tried. In
it's stead we had the NRA, since
declared unconstitutional, and a
host of alphabetical setups which
have cost a great deal of money
and which have not produced jobs
for many men, much less job for
every man.
We are rapidly reaching the end
of our tether. l believe the Town
send Plan is due soon to come into
its own.

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

have, but we should do like M. C.
