in an interview, Chairman Dies asserted the
Communists had made nroads in the colored group.
He said, however, that the group in the majority
is still patriotic and truly American. AS usual, lie
was cautious in reference to the Klan which united
with the Bund to hold New Jersey meeting
It was noteworthy that Mr.. Dies said the South
was asleep to the threat of Fifth Column activities.
Perhaps he referring to the activities for bet
ter1nent which might normally ensue by an op-
pressed people, such as the Negroes and which the
South glorifies. 1t was swell of him to- admit that
the majority of Negroes have lain quiet passive
to the numerous injustces heaped upon them
Many peoples would haYe aligned themselves
with foreign elements long ago. if they thought for
once it would have helped their situation.
Not SO with American Negroes however We re-
main among the most patriotic to the "land of the
free and the home of the brave" We love coun-
try and will die for it when necessary. If that ism
true Americanism. I'd like to know the meaning OF
the term.
Americans, including Mr. Dies, ought to begin to
make this alleged democracy a real thing for all
the people Hypocrisy has never had place ir
government of the people, by the people and for
the people and NEVER WILL Those who CON-
tinue to try to twist evil designs into democracy, to-
gether with segregation discrimination and other In
justices will find it sliding from the earth much as
has disappeared and is disappearing in other quar-
of the globe before the thrust of and sheer
force
Democracy must become not only byword for
Americans, but in reality their religion-the very
essence of their living If it is not ia,ed every day,

The above are only a few eX-
amples of what colleges have con-
tribute to Auburn Avenues come
back. To further illustrate let us
turn attention to at least two other
types of endeavor directed by col
lege trained Negroes on Auburn
Avenue.
The Division of Negro Affairs Of
the Georgia National Youth Ad-
ministration has its headquarters
on the Avenue. It is the largest
and most completely Staffed Divi-
sion of Negro Affairs operated by
the National Youth Administra ion
in the south. Each member of this
staff is a college or university
trained young Negro with special
preparation for his specific posi-"
ton. The work of this office has
gained national notice on numerous
occasions.
COLLLEGE-TRAINED MEN
Several of the most important
Negro Protestant churches Of the
nation are situated on Auburn
Avenue - among which are Big
Bethel A. M. E., Wheat Street and
Ebenezer Baptist. The ministers OF
these churches are college and pro-
fessionally educated. They are ef-
fective forces in the religious life
CT the community and have es-
tablished regulations far beyond
state boundaries.
Many of the elder folk have
doubted the wisdom of placing
young men in charge OF such i'm
portant churches and have queS
toned the value Of an educated
ministry. These men are a fine re-
buttal to such fallaciouS argu-
ments. Dire predictions have been
made in reference to the possible
success of many of the business
ventures on Auburn Avenue, but
they are being disproved daily. The
value of education is being set on
Auburn Avenue. These men ana
