Always interested in the advan-

tive in fields other than newspap-

South America to bind togetherG
Negroes and natives of these for-2

degrees by Morris Brown college5
and Wilberforce University. 2

of both races in attendance. Rev.
Archibald Carey, assisted by Revs.
Evans and Bennett, were to offic-
late with burial in the Lincoln
cemetery.
1t was on Nov. "a, 1870, that Mr..
Abbott was born at st. Simon's is
land, near Savannah, Ga. The son
of slave parents, he was given
schooling at Savannah and in Olaf
lin college and Hampton institute,
finishing the printing trade at the
latter institution and singing with
the glee club.
Coming to Chicago in 1895 atsthe
age of %, he attended the Kent
college of law and received his
LIB. After pr~acticing for a few
years in Gary, Ind, he abandoned
the profession and secured employ
ment as a printer with the ambit-
ion of founding a newspaper to
fight segregation. His first VEN
ture was a daily, but it did not last
long.
On May 5, 1905, there appeared
the first issue of the Defender. For
several years, during the struggle
to survive, it was published in the
living room of an apartment on
State street. From the start, Alb
bott carried on a bitter fight ag-
ainst southern Negrophobes and
sought to encourage the race as a
whole.
Surrounding himself with able
men, he saw the Defender grow
phenomenally in 10 years. Then
came World War l and entry by
the United States into the conflict.
Abbott fought uncompromisingly
for the rights of Negro soldiers
and the colored southerner who
came north to work in industry.
His circulation grew by leaps and
bounds.
In 1921, when the Negroes who
went to France to fight for dem
ocracy had returned and were
fighting, with Abbott's help, ag-
ainst discrimination at home, the
Defender had grown to such pro-
portions that it became necessary
to move to its present quarters on
Indiana avenue It's circulation,
according to publishers figures,
was 205, 900.
1t is said that at its peak money
came in SO swiftly from circulation
representatives that the clerks
tossed money orders into paper
boxes, counting them only when the
days last mail deliveries had been
made.
Be that as it may, Abbott became
a millionaire. At that time he paid
himself a salary of $1,000 weekly.
This was in contrast with stories
of the editors early days of strug-
gle, when he wore patched clothes,
went without food, and begged the
assistance of friends.
Twice he had to Gust key workers
from the newspaper after he be-
came convinced they We're robbing
the business. The first major
shakeup was in 1924 and the last
was in 1884. Minor shakeups oc-

In the past IA years, the rise of

ions cut into the Defenders cireu-

program"
Z. Preserve the American MAI
ket for American agriculture"
On this point, Mr.. Dewey said
that gin seeking to expand u for
eign trade we must make no con-
cessions which tend to depress do
nestle prices or subject our own
producers to unfair competition
from abroad. Agriculture is en-
titled to the same protection as in
dustry enjoys"
8. Broaden research in the use
of agricultural products"
In this connection Mr.. Dewey de-
clared that "a research program Of
fers a prospect not only of increas-
ing the farmers market but of ex-
banding our whole economy" He
said this field ''has as get scarcely
been touched" and added that "if
the New Deal Administration" had
spent in agricultural research one
per cent of the money it has vast
ed, American agriculture would be
years further ahead today.
He went on: land when we get
an Administration with which in
dustry can cooperate, | believe in
dustry alone will do more in this
field in one year than the New Deal
has done in seven"
In setting forth his eight-point
plan, Mr.. Dewey spoke as a man
"who was born and raised in a rur-
al community in Michigan" and
whose "only savings are invested
in a farm" Before stating his
program he warned that he knows
"of no single scheme that will
solve the farm problem overnight,
and after he had enumerated the
various points and elaborated up
them, he said.
"Those are, l believe, parts of
any proper agricultural program.
But they are only part. And they
will fail just as the New Deal has
failed and Just as surely unless
they are part of a larger program
to revive our whole national econ
omy."
Mr.. Dewey expressed his belief
that, in working toward a solution
of the farm problem;; government
must first seek the advice of the
farmers rather than the advice of
clustered theorists. Then it must
act on that advice.
And it must see that the farm
program fits into a consistent ma
tional program. For the solution
will not be found on the farm alone
Fundamentally the solution lies in
more achieving health, vital
ity and balance in our entire econ
omy.
1--WE cannot have a prosperous
agriculture amid a PROSTATE Am
erica. We cannot have a prosper
Gus America with a PROSTATE agri-
culture"
Again attacking the New Deal
philosophy of despair, Mr.. Dewey
said that "if any theory was ever
destroyed by the plainest facts, it
is this defeatist theory of the New
at is not America that is stat
ic," he said. at is the New Deal
that is sterile.
at is in default to the American
people. 1t is time to foreclose the
New Deal"
In closing, Mr.. Dewey said:
my faith lies in the God-fearing
people who grow food, who fashion
the goods; who, by the lives they
live, serve their fellow men.
my faith lies in 1870 million free
Americans, free to produce, free to
live, and free to go forward again
to their own, their natural destiny"
