The WPA, is primarily a financing
agency for construction projects, but
various Congressional acts have put
its funds to work in many other ways.
ranging from relatively small grants
for direct relief to communities unable
to meet these needs to the supplying OF
funds to the corps of engineers, the
water conservation agencies, the pub
lie Health Service and a large number
of other Federal agencies.
The dispute in public circles is not
with the benefits of WPA, but with
the method followed in its operation.
AS a means of putting money into
otherwise empty pockets. of giving in
m to people who otherwise would
need the dole of charity, the project is
acknowledged success.
But the grave questions are asked
whether it is economic in the sense
that the country can afford to support
this system indefinitely, and whether
it is not encouraging a low grade leis-
ure class from whom incentive fiess

come regardless of whether they per-
form tasks efficiently or simply loaf
through their jobs.
The most discussed among alter
natives to the present WPA set-up Is a
possible plan to turn all relief expend-
itures over to the States, with Federal
supervision according to arbitrary
standards on the basis of population
and proved need.

Britain and France, there is a definite
danger that Germany would attack
and Carol seems to be somewhat du-
bious as to whether his proposed allies
put to the acid test, would do any more
for him than they did for dissolved
Czechoslovakia. And there is always
the chance, he feels, that if he plays
ball with Hitler, his country will main
tain at least a nominal independence.
Carol is playing ball with Hitler,
and with a vengeance, as the terms of
the new German-Rumanian economic
treaty, disclosed in synopsis form on
March %, attest. As an AP dispatch
phrases it, Germany will soon have
her fingers so deep in Rumania's eco
nomic and industrial life that the in
fluence of other foreign nations there
will become neglible." The treaty Civ
ess the Reich virtually free access to
Rumania's agricultural, oil, metal and
timber resources-all of which she
needs. And the contamination of this
Immensely important treaty brings up
the question of German-R Russian rela-
tons again.
It has been widely believed that
Hitler desired SOVIET Ukraine above
all else. But, with the grasp he now
has on Rumanian raw materials, the
experts are coming to the opinion that
he will not find the Ukraine necessary.
And that may mean that he will at last
seek peace with Russia. This might
take the terms of a non-aggression
pact, such as he has with Poland. And
if that should happen, Hitler's power
over Europe would obviously become
unlimited. If Britain and France were
no longer able to regard Russia as a
potential ally in case of trouble, they
would be almost pitifully Intellectual
in opposing Hitler. And Russia would
be free to turn her attention to Asia,
where she has vital interests.
What it all seems to add up to
now, is this: Hitler is still going places
and the farther he goes the better he
becomes able to go farther still with
nothing more important than dipiom-
attic correspondence and conversation
in his way.
In this country, we are seeing, to a
small extent, the result of German ag-
gression. Duties have been upped 70
percent on imports from Czechoslov-
aka, and all other German-conquered
areas. Our American foreign policy
is about as strongly anti-Nazis as it
could be, and diplomatic relations are
strained. But there seems to be little
sentiment here for giving the Europ-
can democracies more than u moral
support and a modicum of economic
support. And in the meantime, we are
being forced to build up the greatest
war machine in or history against
the possibility that Hitler will n day
menace some country or some terri
tory in which we have a direc+ interest

Negroes Losing Their Land.
Dangerous Symptom

4HNA AAstG-
Dangerous Symptom
In a recent survey conducted by
the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. it
was revealed that gradually land own
ership by Negroes in Virginia is de-
c~reasing. Wherein this phenomenon
represents an isolated situation in
time and space it need not occasion a.
larm; but wherein it represents a gen
eral tendency it becomes an alarming
economic symptom and one that
should cause Negro leadership grave
concern. The desire to own lanG was
n of the fine and constructive obses-
sions of the older Negroes and because
of it much land was acquired.
For some years there have been

indications that this land purchased
through sweat an blood was gradually
slipping from the present Negro gen.
erations. In far too many instances
lands are going to waste that a few
years ago were in fine states of cult
walton, while thousands of younger
Negroes from the South are languish-
ing in the slums of the Northern cities.
What is worse, these lands are being
repossessed by the whites who more
more are returning to the farm for
%sustenance. One reason the younger
generations of Negroes is Indifferent
to the possibilities of land ownership
resides in the fact, that Negro leader
ship has been remiss in its great op-
~portunity to hold before the race the
futurelessness of a landless people!
The group that relinquishes hold on
the land is on its way out. The future
of the Negro lies on the farm and not
in the city. The city is Of the white
The Negro need not hope for
more than what is left; and this is
becoming less and less. While a few
Negroes may Spread out" and win
economic competence, the masses are
going to be more and more distressed,
If this fact were more generally press
ed upon the Negro he would be more
hesitant to let his land get away. But
the matter of urging Negroes to stick
to the land is not popular and does not
avor o fthe fight that Negroes are
wont to manifest. But, as about the
farm, so about many other matters Of
vital concern. Negro leadership is
more DESTROYS of being popular than
in being helpful. 1t has come about
that little or nothing is being done to
point out the shortcomings along with
the ~long-comings' of the race. No
body is doing anything to provoke the
race to serious thought on a racial pro-
gram. Aside from protest, we have
no program; and this writer has point
ed out time and again that a program
based on protest along will not suffice.
Negroes need vocational education
most keenly today, but there is nobody

There is little to report concerning
domestic business. The foreign mix
up has continued as a Oppressive fac
tor, and the possibility of war (even
though few experts think n is really
coming soon) casts a frightening sha-
dow.
The Presidents statement to the
effect that will be no reduction in the
tax burden, plus White House mist
ence on increased WPA approprla-
tons, have likewise dimmed the out
look.
On the favorable side is a substan-
tial increase in new industrial orders.
Automobile sales have been good, the
market for electrical equipment is ex-
panding, farm equipment buying is up
and railroad purchasing has been at
comparatively high levels.

ing a conflict more disastrous and
far flung than the last war;" the
report concludes, parallels are in
evitably, drawn between the Euro
pean allgnments of 1914 and those
of 1899. Geographically the Triple
Entente appears to be in the process
of reconstruction by the formation
of new Anglo-French alliance and
the belated efforts of France and
Britain to win the support of the
U. S. S. r.. while the triple alliance
of Germany, Austria Hungary and
Italy is again taking shape with
German occupation of Austrian and
Czech territory, conclusion Of the
Italo-German military alliance and
overtures to Hungary and Bulgaria.
"As in 1914 there is little doubt
that British assistance would be ex-
tended to Belgium and the Meth
erlands in case of German attack,
and little margin for diplomatic
maneuvering remains for other
small countries whose position had
been doubtful at the outbreak of
the World War.
"As in 1914 the fundamental
problem, posed in still sharper form.
is that of preventing German DOM
ination of Europe-and the world
by force or threat of force without,
at the same time, convincing the
German people that they are the
victims of hostile 'encirclement.'
