The Peoples
Opinion
THE NEGRO IN THE WPA
DEMONSTRATION

Editor: The great majority Of
the Negro population ere workers,
therefore when the workers move,
the Negro moves with them. The
Minnesota Negro is no exception.
When the WPA workers through
out the state of Minnesota showed
their disapproval of the vicious
Woodrum Bill by walking off the
projects in a sweeping protest
demonstration the Negro workers
were with them 100 per cent. They
understood that in demonstrating,
the workers were not turning
against President Roosevelt and
the New Deal, but were rather call
ing for more Of the New Deal,
since they realized that it was
not President Roosevelt and the
New Dealers who were responsible
for this reactionary legislation but
that the blame for it lay exactly at
the door of those reactionary Re-
publican and Anti-New Deal Gar
ner Democrats who have fought
the President in so much that he
has tried to do for the people.
The Negro workers in Minnesota
had voiced theirfdisapproval of the
Woodruff Bill before it passed.
Through their labor organizations
and other mass organizations they
had sent resolutions and protests
to their Senators and Congressman,
to let them know that they disap-
proved the provisions of more
hours, and less pay for the WPA
workers. It will be well for the
Negro voters to check the vote OF
their representatives in Washing
ton on these and other measures,
and to continue to let them know
that Minnesota Negroes want more
of the New Deal for the entire
state.
Negro workers as well as Negro
small businessmen and profession
ais realize that the WPA is vital
to the economic, recovery of this
country, and together with other
sections of the population they
must demand that Congress does
not adjourn until this vicious legis-
lation has been amended to meet
the needs of the whole American
people.
Every Negro should be inter
ested in this struggle to save and
extend the WPA. If you want to
know what you and your organiza-
ton can do about it meet with the
Labor Council at the Halle @.
Brown House on the End and
fourth Monday nights in the
month. Your questions will be
answered and your support heart
lily welcomed.

President Roosevelt is getting a,
taste now of the trouble private

There are those high public ex-
ecutives who operate the affairs of
their office with both eyes on votes
and neither on the welfare of the
state. Such public service is quite
fresh in the memory of the people
of Ohio. But today a different kind
of government is being unfolded at
Columbus. Today Ohio is gov
erned by a chief executive John

thinking first Of the state and Sec
ond of the votes.-Bucyrus CO.,

Representative Eugene E. Cox,
Georgia, Democrat, recently re-
marked that the consistency which
joined together the various things
he had seen done for several years
led him to the conclusion that there
is an intent to destroy "our whole
constitutional system and carry US
into some form of state collectiv-
ISM" He said it was apparent that
Americans no longer dare close
their eyes to these facts. There is
now an open and defined conflict
between persons who want the
United States to continue as a rep
resentative democracy with eco
nomic freedom, freedom of agri-
culture, industry, and labor, and
persons who would make over the
country after a continental Euro
pean model, preferably the Rus
sian. For such differences and
deviations as distinguish Stain
communism from the other brutoc-
racies, communism is preferred.
Americans do not dare close their
eyes to these facts any longer.

change are now in control of the

It would clarity the present po-
litical situation if anybody could
tell whether the G. o. p, its allies
and affiiates, were more scared
that the President would run for
a third term than that he would
not run.
Half of the recent propaganda
issuing from the Republican Ma
tional Committee and from its as
sorted aliases has been devoted to
telling the voters what a terrible
thing it would be if the people
should happen to decide that he
was the best qualified person to
carry on the campaign for Ma
tional recovery, and to continue
the course that has so far averted
war. The other half has stressed
the impossibility Of his re-nomina-
ton and the certainty of a reac-
tionary victory if the Democratic
National Convention named him.

tional Committee, Publicity Direc-

at is extremely doubtful that a
Republican could win the election
on platform based on the pres
ent Republican congressional atti-
tude. Three specific complaints
against Republicans in Congress
might be mentioned. First, support
of the Townsend bill. Republicans
on the House Committee reporting
on WPA for the most part favored
return of relief management
largely to the states. Also, par
tisanship rather than sober refiec-
ton led the majority of the Repub-
lican members to favor policies
which give the Federal government
less power and the same may be
said of Republican opposition to
the neutrality bill."-LOweIl Couri-
er Citizen Ond. Rep.)
"Were the Republican critics
hollering bloody murder when pri-
vate corporations in this country
borrowed 1913 billions of dollars be-
tween 1923 and 1929 and spent it
for office buildings, power lines,
apartment houses, industrial
plants, commissions to brokers,
rakeoffs to promoters and juicy
profits to the inside big fellows?
They had their hands on the money
and they had the market rugged so
they could take the public both

son they hate public spending by

Poetic Thoughts
What a Man Works For
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.

Many the vicssitudes in mans life,
When everything is not just rife
But he has important part to play,
AS his routine may not be regular every day.
Personal security has been social security to him,
For he carries insurance and knows he can win,
The proper solace that eventually comes to all,
AS preparedness helps to surmount any WALL
He'll send his loved ones on trip,
Work and slave but can't afford to slip,
For he knows upon him depends,
The of travel else pleasure ends.
Many man has been censored
For putting in long hours, but nothing's ventured
Since hard work is sacrifice and to succeed
The constant grind answers his need
A man never considers his compensation
In a monetary praisefu evaluation,
His constant thought ever be seen,
To remain physically fit and on the scene.
While he is working he mustn't forget
His physical needs will be constantly met,
If he puts God first in thought and deed
His work will express religions holy creed

Editor.

Shall not confess at once that
by reason of early training and
experience l had the best of pos
sible excuses for not becoming in
my early years a good Catholic
in fact in not becoming Catholic
at all.
AS look back and try to piece
together the intangibles that made
me a Baptist rather than a fol-
lower of any other faith = more
particularly the Catholic realize
more clearly perhaps than I have
ever done before, how little virtue
there is in my being Baptist or a
member of any one of dozen or
more widely differing faiths-in-
GLIDING the largest and most wide
ly spread of them all-the Cath
Ole.
1 am Baptist because my peo-
pie were Baptists before me, and
believe that is true of most Bap-
lists, Methodists or Catholics.
l have remained Baptist large
ly for the same reason. In addi-
ton to that have found it easier
to accept the reasoning of Baptist
leadership for their faith in Bap-
fist dogma rather than to futilely
argue the soundness of my own
belief.
l have never been able entirely
to escape the thought that nothing
in the teaching of the Christ has
justified the human separation of
our various faiths and I believe
nothing has had a greater tendency
to weaken what faith ! have than
the determination each church
group has to declare that it and it
alone is justified by the Scriptures
for it's own special belief.
1t was with that thought in mind
that I accepted the invitation of
my friend, Mr.. R. A. Skinner, to
attend meeting of his Catholic
Society of Blessed Martin de
PORES which honored his Excel
lency, Archbishop John G. Murray,
last Sunday at the Seton Guild.
The musical program which was
directed by Joseph Kuncl presented
both senior and junior choirs and
saxophonist and piano soloist.
Excellent as it was by reason of
the sl1illful directing of Mr., Kuncl
was more interested in the sched-
uled address of the Archbishop.
It would be difficult for me to
say that the Archbishop gave a
prepared address. He spoke en-
tirely without notes, hesitated not
a moment in saying the things
which were on his mind to say. He
spoke, 1 thought, as he might have
spoken to any gathering of Cath
Ole people, lauded the Blessed
Martin as he might have lauded
any outstanding Catholic character.
In short he spoke as he might have
spoken to any gathering of Cath
olic people and only as he touched
upon the desire Of some of his
people present for set-up differ
ing somewhat from that of a
Catholic body did he say that he
was not convinced it would be for
their best interests, nor would he
undertake to decide until the mat
ter had been given much further
