Africa, his second trip there. After
sketching in broad outline the gem
Al ilaation of the native popula-
tion in Africa, the speaker chose to
concentrate his attention on the
racial conditions as they exist to-day
IN British South Africa. The use
of the same devices of racial control
~ both the United States and South
Africa was illus trated interestingly
and with wealth Of personal ex-
periences and observations. 'sIf the
word Negro were to be substituted
for native in many Of the laws they
would appear identical with those of
some Of our southern states during
ante bellum days and even at the
present The tension of the situa-
tion IN South Africa, however, is
much more acute because the pro-
portions of the races are reversed;
while the Negro is the minority
group in this country, the white
European is in the minority group
there.

WILBERFORCE INSTITUTE.
Iransyaal, South Africa, Feb. "a
I{Delayed AMP Correspondence
Ground was broken January 10 at
Wilberforce Institute, here, for two
new buildings. At three o'clock
Bishop X. r. Wright Of the A. NJ, z,
church turned the first spade OF
ground on the spot where the new
health clinic will be built.
Said the Bishop as he stuck the
shovel in the ground, Here we be-
gin q new phase of the mission work
Of the A. NJ. Il. church In South
Africa. We begin our work in the
conservation Of the health Of the
people. Forty-one years ago we
started our religious work and God
has abundantly blessed US. We now
have more than 1,400 preaching
places, over $40 ordained preachers
and $4,000 members. Our work ex-
tends from the Cape to the Congo
and we are well established in all
the Provinces Of the Union Of South
Africa, in the Protectorates of Ba-
sutoland and Swaziland, in the Rho
desias, and we are making headway
in Portuguese East Africa, Bech-
uanaland and South West Africa.
Eve number among our member
ship some Of the ablest chiefs and
other leaders Of this great sub
continent. We have also made COM
mendable progress in our attempt
at educational improvement in that
we now have over 80 schools, 400
teachers and 12,500 day scholars.
We have the only training school
for teachers in all South Africa
headed by black man and with an
entire black staff
"Now, however, we make an at
tempt to tackle the third important
Job. AS you know the death rate
here is terrific, especially among
children. There are not d dozen
native doctors among 1000 native
people. The witch doctor still has
too much sway although the practice
Of witchcraft has been made crime.
There is need everywhere Of
health service. So the A. NJ. E.
church begins this day its new epoch,
here in this community, where
1900 people live with no doctor,
no health committee, here where we
bring the aspiring youth of South
Africa to learn the higher things of
life, here is the place we start And
am happy to say that this clinic is
the gift of theAmerican Negro.

DR.. BUNCIIE, Ky. STATE COLLEGE
NEGRO HISTORY WEEK SPEAKER

FRANKFORT Urging that the
Negro in America must avoid pro-
vincialism in his attitude toward
world affairs, particularly those con-
corning race relations, DR.. Ralph
J. Bunche, head Of the department
of political science of Howard Uni
versity, directed the thinking of the
students of the Kentucky State Col
lege during Negro History Week.
Dr.. Bunche was the guest Of the
college for the observance Of the
18th annual Negro History Week.
Aside from appearing before the en-
tire student body in three special
lectures, the visiting professor OF
political science spoke to and direct
ed the discussions Of several student
groups on the campus during his
three day stay at the college.
The theme around which the
speaker woye his remarks and that
for the weeks program in general
was Some Aspects Of the Political
Status Of African and American
Negroes After speaking briefly
of the purpose and the need for the
study of Negro history, Dr. Bunche
traced the accomplishments and the
progress of the Negro both before
and after the Civil War. While dis
cussing the various concrete and
well-established reforms made pos
sible by the Negro during Recon-
struction, the type Of history often
referred to as "black chauvinismn
was mentioned as being unnecessary.
The speaker devoted his main in
terest in one lecture to the progress
made, and the hope of the Negro, as
a political factor in the life Of the
United States. By drawing examples
from the strong political blocs which
have been created in several Of the
cities of the nation, the possibilities
OF greater Negro participation were
visualized.
In another lecture the European
situation with its racial PHILOSOPHERS
was thoroughly examined. Similari-
ties between the determinations
which the Jews are facing in central
Europe and those of the Negro in
this country were brought out in
such q way as to make them much
more realistic to the audience. More
important was the realization Of the
parallelism between the theories be-
hind these two examples af mans
inhumanity to man. Stressing the
economic angle in both cases Or. |
Runche revealed the prosecutions in |
each locality as an artificial condi- |
tion brought about Intentionally for |
an economic purpose.

signed several experts to handle
this problem. and to plan so that,
once these new markets are cap
