with a supper at $50. The supper
is S1.00.
The speakers will be R. E. Benton
of Arkansas, one of the colored vice
presidents Of the Southern Tenant
Farmers Union, and w. NJ. Tanner, a
white member of the Executive Coun-
Gil of the same organization. After
the supper, people can come in for the
meeting free of charge.
The sharecroppers are still, even in
America today, subjected to miserable
wages of rs cents a day or even less
for working from sun-up to shutdown,
and this gives the sunthern manufac-
turing employers a reserve fund of
cheap labor which they can and do use
to keep down wage rates even in the
North.
The story of the Southern Tenant
Farmers Unions gallant struggle
against terrorism by the plantation
owners on the one hand, and racial
prejudice as well, is a dramatic epic
of the struggle for racial and economic
justice in the United States today, and
one which every person, white or col
ored, should want to know about, and
understand.
Members of the NAACP, both the
Youth Council and the Adult Branch
are especially urged to attend, but the
meeting is open to the public. Sup
per tickets can be obtained through

LONDON, England, Mar. 1.-THE
coronation of Pope Pious XII, for
merly Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, the
Secretary of State under Pious XI,
will mark the accession to the throne
of st. Peter of prelate who is well
known to the American people, for the
new Pontiff is the first in history ever
to have visited the United States. Very
appropriately, President Roosevelt has
appointed Mr.. Joseph P. Kennedy, the
American Ambassador to the Court of
st. James, to be his special envoy. 1t
is by now a commonplace of discus
sion to assert that the Papacy is at
the most critical juncture of its long
existence, unless we except the So
called "Babylonish captivity" (1309-
1870, when the Holy See was trans
ferred from Rome to Airgnon.
The crisis with which the Papacy is
confronted is of significance not only
or especially to the thousands of col
ored people who belong to that COM
munion but also to non-Catholic mem
bers of our racial minority. For the
menace to Catholicism-the totali-
tartan drive of Fascism and Nazism,
with their inhumanly pernicious Doc
trines of racism-is a threat which,
it is increasingly evident, the colored
people, like other "non-Aryan" minori-
ties, face in America, where we have
long been the victims of a racial in
tolerance expressed in and defined by
segregation against which our most
courageous leaders, like the late Will
liam Monroe Trotter, have always pro-
tested.
1t is not sufficient to laugh off this
peril to our liberties by merely crack
ing jokes at the crude ways in which
its brutality is sanctioned by its doc
trines of race. An example of such
joke is the following: "What are the
two kinds of Aryans in Germany ?"
Non-Aryans and barbarians. The ex-
ample of Spain is before us. That
shows what can happen when the
forces united against Fascism are dis
rupted. We have clear lesson from
this. We must not allow maggots
within our group, extreme racialists,
to ALLEVIATE us from those forces which

GAPS IN HISTORY

In announcing a radio broadcast for
March 20, Americans AIl-Immigrants
All", Commissioner of Education John
W. Studebaker, by citing few achieve
ments by each of several population
elements, indicated the scope of the
broadcast as a review of the contribu-
tons OF each racial group in the de-
veiopment of commerce and industry
IN the United States. The radio broad
cast will be over 104 stations of the
CHS network, 200 to 2:3O pm. EST.
Included with brief references to the
other groups was the following state
ment, which is 'fair enough:
Much of the credit for the success

he also helped to make profitable the
production of rice and sugar, according
to the Service Bureau for Intercultural
Education which conducted the research
on immigrant contributions to our in
dustrial progress for the March 26
broadcast. An iron comb made by a
eolored inventor to help cotton pickers
gave Eli Whitney, a Scotch Irishman,
the idea for his cotton gin, and in 1884
Henry Blair, colored, was granted a
patent for a corn harvester"
As the introduction for the main re-
view tomorrow the citations necessarily
are short. They were designed presum-
ably to whet the appetite. Listeners-in
on Sunday should be well rewarded for
their time. In view of recent exhibit
ton OF bigotry in unexpected quarters,
1t Is gratifying that appreciation of the
forgotten or overlooked services to the
country by colored patriots and inven-
tors will emanate from a high source
and be widely pubicised.

SAYS YANKEES. WHITE OR
COLORED, CREATE OWN JOBS

To the Editor of The Guardian:
Your recent editorial on the colored
American in New England is timely.
The black Yankee must consider him
self just that. To encourage colored
people in other sections to come here
for employment is wrong. From al
most its beginning New England has
never had work enough for its own
sons and daughters.
1t has taken the colored Yankee 300
years to build a population of 10000
people In Massachusetts. In 1888
there were but 5000 colored people
here. Thousands of colored people
come to New England with hopes of
settling here; but very few are able
to stay and develop into the typical
New England Family. One reason for
the slow growth of New England's
colored population is that the colored
family has to build a business or
create something else for subsistence
Another reason is that the colored
Yankee has to be a good mixer with
other races. He can not develop a
narrow racial consciousness; he is
compelled to be an American rather
than just a Colored man. He must
line up and do business with other
races in order to succeed.
This attitude is resented by other
colored people coming from other sec
tionsof the country who have devel-
oped strong racism, in the physical
sense. In trying to be typical col
ored people" they fail in New England
and soon leave. Yet if one looks at
the Colored New Highlander closely,
one finds that he is clannish and has
lofty ideas of race advancement;
otherwise he could not have developed
a Crispus Attacks, a Caleb Holbrook.
a William c. Nell, a Monroe Trotter
and hundreds of other Race cham
pions.
1t is becoming increasingly neces-
sary for the more advanced colored
New England family not only to send
his son and daughter to college but
also to create a job for them when
they finish. Such imperative condi-
lions leave nothing for the colored
migrant except liberty and free en-
trance to schools of learning. After
school days are over, the newcomer
must cre2te his own job in order to
set up permanent residence. .

PRESS CLUBS
ANNUAL AWARD
ON PALM SUNDAY

Two Bostonlans, man and a wo-
man, will receive an unusual honor on
Palm Sunday morning.
On this occasion they will receive
public acknowledgement of what The
Press Club of Boston considers "The
outstanding contribution to the commu-
nifty" and beautifully-engraved scroll
attesting the honor.
One award is being made to Rev. S.
L. Laviscount of St. Mark Church, at
the regular morning service in the
church on April End. The club states
that it is being awarded to Rev. LAWS
count in view of his broadening of the
program of his church, his ready par
ticipation in affairs other than the
strictly religious, and the activities he
engaged in during the past year.
The other award goes to DR.. Mary
c. Wright of Cambridge, and will be
made at Union Baptist Church on the
same day and at the morning service.
The Press Club states in regard to
DR.. Wright that the award is being
made to her in view of her outstanding
work for public health both here and
in past months in the South, her effort
to establish community dental CEN
ter, and her untiring participation in
civic and public affairs.
The decision to make the awards to
these two persons out of more than
two dozen who were considered came
after several meetings in which pro-
posals for the award were made.
Others who had been proposed had
been considered to have made great
contributions in human welfare, poll
tics, religion and literature.
Both awards were voted unani-
mously by the members of the Club.
They represent the first of an annual
series that will be made.

What Is Segregation?

Segregation is the special Amer
lean means of branding Colored
Americans as the interiors of in
feriors In public etatus.
"When the white South found it
self confronted with the federal sta
tus of equality for Colored people,
the former slaves equality of citi-
zenship, of freedom, of franchise
rights, backed by the national gov
ernment-it selected the denial of
presence and of service in places
opened for public patronage as the
one great way to brand Colored
people as having been a slave race
and make them forever the scorn of
civil society.
at is a very effective measure.
Colored people are traitors to them
selves TO aid and abet the idea BY
self-segregation."
