What Economic Security Is
There In . WPA Wage?

Many have criticized the relief adj
ministration as being political
scheme. Perhaps all social reforms
have been 80 criticized in the past,
but WPA has surely had it's ups and
downs and still has them.
One picture ii clear; Unemploy
ment Ii still with us and among
Negroes it II more prevalent than
ever. In New York City, one small
organization had over 5000 Negro
applicants seeking employment dur
ing 1898. Hundreds were turned
away because it was impossible to
service them. However. Of this
number, 1886 actually sought re-
lief and could not be talked into try
ing for other work. They knew
what to expect IN the matter Of get
| ting on the relief rolls--but they
were willing to 20 through all of this
Inconvenience, IN the hope Of even
tually landing on the WPA.
A hopeless situation seems to have
arisen from this complicated situa-
ton, most unhappy one and like

Figures show it-for if there had

/ North and South, no matter
where the Negro is, he gets bits

population because his need is

equal opportunity even on WPA, he
would so far outstrip his fellow
workers, all other things being equal
he would be disqualified for some
other reason.
And so the crumbs fall to the Ne
gro, and he has to be satisfied with
/ them, eking out bare existence on
the subsistence wages paid him. Will
he continue to believe that WPA is
his salvation, or will he be willing
to give up his insecure income to try
something else?
Evidently, he is afraid to cut
loose-as he will have to do some
time or other, for unless congression-
al enactment makes WPA a perma-
nent privileged class, his doom is
sealed. Meanwhile, the half Of the
country which pays the freight yells
loud and long against WPA, relief

which they claim is burdening them
down, but chief cry is that the
country really needs relief FROM

Were America not the land Of

land and it's largeness without re-
linquishing any tics to his former
ailegiances. The recent act sweep
ing out aliens was supposed TO take
care Of this situation. Still there
are many groups on the WpA and
the relief ROLLS who cling to theis
old methods and arc encouraged
in it.
This is untrue Of the Negro, with
the exception Of the relatively small
percentage Of foreign born Negroes
in and around New York. Negroes
are, first, last and always Ameri-
