lures has been the main danger
of our democracy. The conflict OF
the New England culture and the
slave culture has played a proml-
nent part in American history. The
development of the American slave
trade created two opposing eco
nomics, the Puritan economics and
the Southern economics. The very
presence of the Negroes in Amer
lea has had a democratical influ-
ence. The 18th, 18th, and 10Th
Amendments, which would moi
otherwise have been written, show
democratic rights to black and
white alike"
Judge Myles A. Paige was pre-
sented for a few remarks.
In commenting upon the ad-
dresses, DR.. King said that the
slow process Of the evolution OF
cultures is where demagogues and
propaganda find a fertile field"
James H. Hubert, director of the
New York Urban League, in his
report to the annual meeting, gave
a splendid summary of the WorR
of the League. He said: In spite
of the Leagues reduced income, the
report showed an increase in al
of the departments of the number
of people Serviced.
Mr.. Hubert, however, saw clouo
in the horizon and also rays OF
light. He said: THE task OF in
tegrating Negroes into jobs is now
two-fold. Employers frankly admit
that they have little or no voice IN
deciding who shall be employed
and are constantly referring oul
representatives to union officials
1t is a debatable question as to
whether Negroes will fair better

than they have under employer

JOHANNESBURG, S. Africa
(ANP)-At last weeks reception
given in her honor by the Orlando
Mothers Welfare association, Miss
G.. L. TShdbalala, social welfare
leader and founder Of the Daugh-
tiers of Africa Movement, told her
hearers that greater cooperation
could be effected through establish
ment of mothers clubs and urged
Bantu mothers to do something
about it.
In 1881, Miss Tshabalala estab-
lished clubs in Natal, declaring
she realized that Bantu mothers
had no place of meeting to dis
cuss problems affecting them, and
they could learn much from each
other. Referring especially to the
rearing of children. the speaker
said that moral instruction in the
home was mother S duty.
Miss TShabalala said that great
influence could be exercised over
children, through choice of their
friends. She referred to the back
wardness of African women, say
ing that even in their homes they
remain in The background ano
leave the entertainment of friends
even ladies, to their husbands. Miss
Tshabalala was accompanied tc
the reception by Mrs Mabelle

LAGOS. w. Africa (ANP)--
There are indications of a grow
ing unrest among the natives of
West Africa who are beginning to
realize that despite the fact their
tropical land apounds with re-
sources, they are not in position
financially to develop them.
And there are many who believe
there is not immediate prospect for
the future, that economically, the
people can stand on their legs. IL
was pointed out that in Nigeria,
4l.6OO.832 acres are held under
mining title and exclusive pros
pecting licenses, by firms and indi-
yiduals who come from abroad.
Tt has also been pointed out that
mining is an expensive operation,
that even if the money were made
available to the natives their hands
would still be tied as they have no
trained miners and mining en-
gineers. Tie West African Pilot,
leading weekly here, declared re-

NEW YORK CSNS)-Tne
annual dinner meeting of the New
York Urban League at the William
Sloan House, New York City, this
week was memorable from the fact
that noted white and colored speak
ers discussed vital American issues
The note of optimism in the adj
dress of Dean Emeritus Fitzpatrick
of Columbia University was a strik-
ing feature of the meeting.
Mrs. Bessye Bearden presented
St Marks M. E. Church, as mas
ter of ceremonies. The theme OF
the discussions was What Ameri-
ca Nav Mean to Minority Groups
DR.. King, in his Introductory ao-
dress, stated that the life which
the Negro is compelled to live to-
day is shaped by concepts which
were current eighty years ago, and
to help the Negro minority groub
basically today is to break this
spell. DR.. William H. fitzpatrick
dean emeritus of education OF
Columbia University, presented a
philosophy of history in his illum-
mating address.
He said, There is no innate ra-
cial superiority. 1t is the way that
culture molds that particular group
that makes it different from 9TH

ton follows some spheres, largely
economical but not entirely.

At the final executive board
