Dual School System VS..
Mixed Schools

The Supreme Court decision
of the Gaines case brings an
other problem to the south
and to the Negro as we'll. The
south must decide whether its
state universities shall admit
Negro students or make the
curricula in the Negro state
colleges uniform with the
state universities of the south.
Negro leaders are divided
as TO which course will prove
best for the race. Some say II
the state college is raised to
the university status more jobs
will be provided for Negro
teachers the old mercenary,
easiest way, best way, conten-
tion. Others say the enlarged
Negro school will not equal
the State university, but will
be merely Jim Grow ar
rangement to satisfy the law
like the Jim Crow railway
transportation. Furthermore,
they say, the South is too poor
or at least unwilling to pro-
vide equal educational sys-
TENS in the graded and high
schools, hence it Is improbable
that the state schools will be
equal.
When all angles are consid-
cred we believe Negroes
should endeavor to arouse
public sentiment in the South
to admit Negro students to
the state universities rather
than provide accommodations
in Negro schools for those who
desire university training.
Many will say southern uni
yersities will never admit Ne
gro students. But they will.
And now is the time for the
Negro to contend for admit
tance in state universities
rather than accept inferior
training in a make-shift set
up.
Elsewhere IN this issue we
are reprinting an editorial
from the Missouri Student, :
official student newspaper Of
the University of Missouri,
which we believe points the
way out that will result in the
greatest good to the race and
to the nation.
In these days of rising total
itarian nations, it is time for
America to put aside racial
prejudices and provide equal
education for all citizens-not
in a dual school system, but
rather let the youths of all
races be educated together.

Hitler's Revenge

Whenever the going gets rough
with Hitler, he can always get sweet
revenge by throwing up the treat
ment Of the Negro in the face Of
Uncle Sam.
Hitler's latest thrust is master
piece. He calls for Jim Crow cars
for Jews, and announces that he
got the idea from the United States,
where Negroes and whites are thus
separated
Hitler may be mad, but it is GER
tainiy not for Uncle Sam to say SO,
at least officially, until he cleans up
his own back yard. Right now the
Negro press and the Negro public
are in belligerent mood because
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has held that Congressman
of the United States, who happens
to be colored, was properly treated
when he was refused Pullman ac-
commodations in his own country
in the country which he helps make
the laws to protect.
Hitler's mention Of Jim Crow
cars is quite timely. And we recall
' that Mussolini announced, shortly
| after the fall Of Adds Ababa, that
he would institute bus system in
the capital Of East Africa in which
the natives would be compelled to
ride in the rear, as do Negroes in
| the Southern United States.
Bishop Wright reports that in
South Africa, ruled by the English,
i that the natives are set off some
distance from the cities; that segre-
CATION there is complete.

| democratic countries quake in the
presence of the dicuators because
they know their democracy is re-
ally not genuine.

LOANS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

One of the disadvantages that small
business men have faced has been the lack
of intermediate" credit or loans that run
from five to ten years.
1t is true that many businesses in
smaller cities have loans that have not
been fully paid within the time limit but
they are usually on year to year basis,
with much uncertainty as when the de-
mand will be made for the payment of the
debt
Large business concerns have been
able to manage the flotation of bonds that
assure them of adequate credit facilities
but the cost of such issues prevent its use
by smaller concerns. AS we understand it,
any issue of less than $1,000,000 is hardly
profitable.
Legislation has been introduced in
Congress to establish system of regional
intermediate credit banks to take care of
the needs of independent small business
men. A setup, patterned after the Home
Loan Bank System, is proposed and re-
gional banks would be established.
