Census Begins
BY STAFF Correspondent

Washington, D. CA request
for full cooperation with census
enumerators was sent out from
Washington, this week, by Edward
Lawson, consultant on Negro af-
fairs for the Bureau of the Census,
in which he stressed the impor-
lance of the information which is
to be collected.
Mr.. Lawson said in part:
"How many Negroes are there
in the United States? How many
have work and how many are on
relief? How many have migrated
from South to North, from country
to city? Which types of Negro
owned business are increasing and
which are decreasing? What pro-
portion of Negro farm operators
are tenants or sharecroppers?
Use Census as Guide
"Of course, there are hundreds
of other broad plans for social bet
torment in which the data gather
ed by the Census Bureau will be of
inestimable value. Important move
ments like Social Security, unem-
ployment relief, and the whole agri-
cultural program will undoubtedly
depend upon Census-gathered fig
ures for guiding facts.
"For these reasons the Negro
citizens of America should have a
special interest in the Census
enumerations. The wisdom with
which the future course of the Ne
gro American can be planned will
depend upon the accuracy of the
figures resulting from the Census,
and this in turn will depend upon
how willingly and completely all
the questions asked are answered.
'By Act of Congress it is unlaw-
full for the Census Bureau or it's
enumerators to disclose any of the
facts they gather to anyone, not
even to another government depart
ment. Knowing this, Negroes
throughout the country have ev-
cry reason to take pride in provid-
ing information needed for the
Census. This does not mean that
they should pad" their income, in
fate the value of their business, or
give incorrect facts about the ex-
tent Of their education for the sake
of making good record" But it
does mean that they should answer
the Census questions promptly and
accurately"
Locally, the business census got
under way without any Negroes
employed. According to leaders in
the Democratic party, the names of
two persons were slated as choices
but neither of them accepted. One
was out of the city and another had
other employment. 1t is expected,
the leaders say, that a number of
persons will be employed when the
population census begins in the
spring.
