UPSET SOCIAL ORDER

Referring TO the upset social or.
der Of the last few years, Young
said:
Certainly, our minds have
turned i'm curious direction. We
have permitted ourselves to be-
come divided into groups, each
trying TO gain some advantage
over the other. We spent much
time arguing over the division
Of profits. We spent little time
pursuing the old American habit
of creating profits so there
would be more to divide. Then
came the defense program, and
we are finding unity somewhat
difficult to achieve, although ev-
cry group agrees that without
unity we cannot succeed"

clared that social and economic
trends could not be disassociated.
He traced the problems of the last

that unless there was sacrifice,

Brotherhood Week
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.

The President has decreed
That February Twenty-Five to
Twenty-eight
Be known as Brotherhood Week
A wonderful way to dispel hate
It is for all races, creeds and re-
ligions, y
Tolerance to be emphasized and
shown, -..
Interchange of speakers at din
ners and pulpits,
The seeds Of fellowship will be
It is very important at this time
For brotherhood to be stressed,
For men seem to have gotten
With the devil possessed.
This country can show the world,
By many brotherly strides,
That people can live together
tremendously, no matter what
betides.
These are steps in the right direc-
ton,
For world peace is badly needed,
Start the gospel here at home
Where it surely should be needed.
We can practice what we preach,
Even tho progress is slow,
Let brotherhood be noted
AS a Christian example to fol-
low.
Our President should be honored
For the wonderful example set,
From Godlike men come humani-
tartan ideas
Even tho equality isn't just right
yet.

THE
MILE-POST
By Samuel A. Reed
Segregation

Much has been said both pro ana
con concerning the advantages and
disadvantages Of racial segrega-
ton. Some argue that while forced
segregation is bad, voluntary seq
regation has much merit. A few
are of the opinion that segregation
forced, voluntary, or otherwise, is
blessing In disguise.
It is this writer's opinion that
there can be no compromise on the
issue of segregation; it is either all
wrong or all right. Without hest
tation, therefore, / must fatty state
that in my humble opinion it is all
wrong and attempt to defend my
position by showing why.
Those who advocate segregation
contend that because of it Negroes
have been given increasing OppOr-
tunities to show and develop their
special talents, free Of the Obsta-
cles of race. They cite the thriv-
ing businesses Negroes have built
up among their own people, the
fine Negro schools and the large
number of Negro teachers; the Ne
gro doctors, lawyers, bankers, and
professional men who are support
ed by Negro clients.
That is one argument, here is an
other.
Those who are opposed to racial
segregation on the same grounds
but for different reasons men
ton the lack of jobs; the poor
housing conditions; the high rent |;
the lack of medical attention; the
prevalence of disease, delinquency,
and crime as direct results of seq
regatiOn in sections where segrega-
ton abOunds.
However, the question is not one
of citing instances and then COM
pairing advantages with. disadvan-
tages. If the system of segrega-
ton is to be defended or destroyed,
the case must be decided on the
basis of the principle involved.
The United States is a free ma
ton supposedly made up Of all
races, colOrs, classes, and creeds Of
free people. Nov five accept what
democracy should mean, we must
also accept the principles for which
it is supposed to stand.
Segregation of any kind, be it
racial, religious, social, political, or
economic, is a grave threat to unity
and progress and has no place in
a democracy.
Any real and lasting progress Of
a people, a nation, or group of
nations depends on their unifica-
ton and cooperation in solving
common problems, not on their isO-
lation and separation. Likewise
any serious threat to the existence
of a people, a nation, or a group of
nations can be traced to the mis-
understanding, suspicion, jealousy,
and hate which results from their
being separated and apart.
Segregation is disunity; disunity
is the breakdown, of a nation into
separate parts. It is the end Of CO.
operation, the end of the demo-
cratic system. ,--- ...
Negroes and whites must realize
that if they are willing to accept
the theory of democracy, they are
obligated to help uprOOt the evils
which threaten to destroy it.
There is no halfway solution.
Americans must all stand together
or watch each other fall separately.

also signed the act creating the
Freedmen's Bureau.
THE SERVANT GIRL
March 4, 1829-Joseph M. White,
resident of the territory of Flori-
da, and a delegate in Congress
from that territory, brought a
| slave girl, named Maria, to Wash
ington, D. c., to wait upon his
family while he was attending
Congress in the winter of 1928
| 1929.
She remained with the family
during the session; at the end of
the session, on the 4th of March,
1929, was too far advanced in
pregnancy to be removed, with
safety, to Florida; and was, there
fore, left by her master in Wash
ington.
After the confinement of Maria,
at her own request, she was per-
mitted by her master, who was re-
elected, to hire herself out in
Washington until he should return
to Congress, in December, 1929,
which permission was given in a
letter to Mr.. French, the agent of
Joseph M. White.
Maria accordingly hired herself
out and received her wages to her
own use. Learning that she had
free husband in Washington,
and. wishing to live with him, it
was agreed by both Maria and
Congressman White that if Maria's
husband could raise $500, he would
sell her to her husband.
Maria nor her husband being I'M
able to raise the desired amount
of money for her freedom, was re-
turned to Florida separating her
from her husband in Washington.
CRISPUS ATTUCKS
March 5, 177O-A party Of

shot in the left breast by Hugh
Montgomery, British soldier of the
18th Regiment of Foot.
