PRAISING THE achievements of
the white race, and being satisfied
with looking on while the white
man builds and makes history is
unbecoming a thinking people.
Things that have made the white
people rich and powerful also make
black people rich and powerful.
Cannot we marshal the intelligence
and courage? Let US try their
methods. At least we can be no
worse off than we are today.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1941-04-11

SELFISHNESS is so very gen.
eral in the relations of mankind
that it may reasonably be regarded
as a common inheritance that
makes for weakness whether in the
individual or in the nation. We
find selfishness and its "side-kick,"
greed, on every hand; and if we
are neither selfish nor greedy we
have a time of it in dealing with
those who are, as they are invari-
ably an INSCRIPTIONS lot, and will
hesitate at nothing to satisfy their
desires. Man is so selfish that he
does not seem to realize that there
is anyone else in the world other
than himself. AS it is with man so
it is with nations. They can see
only what their selfishness dictates
and their greed desires, hence they
think neither Of right nor wrong in
their efforts to satisfy their crav-
ings.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1941-04-11

TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK at
the face you see in the mirror. Ex-
anime it carefully. Put aside all
vanity and egotism and for once
be honest with yourself as you an
swer this question-"Am I really
what most of my friends think /
ami" No alibis, no buck passing,
no sef-pity, no ifs or buts-just
for once summon the courage to
face the truth about yourself. This
is a good exercise and should be
taken frequently. A long look
into your own soul may be the
thing you need.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1941-04-11

EARTHQUAKES do not shake
faith; bombs and fires do not win
over courage and ambition. 1t is
only when the heart and spirit of
a people breaks that they get the
worst of it. Human senses may
suffer, bodies may be marred and
broken, but as long as the heart
pushes onward and upward the
people will build again on the
foundation of deeper faith and
greater experience.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1941-04-11

WE ARE CONSTANTLY BE-
ING disillusiened; our cherished
ideal shattered. Many of our be-
liefs and practices may be credited
to our devotion to the past and our
cowardice in frankly facing the
present and the future. We are
more or less victims of the mass
mind. What the crowd thinks, we
think, and we often fear to express
an opinion unless we are sure it
will meet with popular favor. Too
many of US are towards.

Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1941-04-11

FEAR AND FAITH spring from
a common root in language. Their
similarity is very apparent. Fear
is responsible for the GHOSTS" of
life, the unreal, narrowing, I'M
canny materializations which hover
like the odor of damp sepulchres
around our being. To Danish the
GHOSTS" of your life is necessary
for the attainment of success.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1941-04-11

AS LONG AS fifteen million Ne
groes in America are a part of
America, America is going to be
in a large measure just what these
fifteen millions are. If they are
ignorant, America is just that much
ignorant; if they are poems, Ameri-
cans are that much enslaved. White
America cannot hurt the Negro to
any large degree without injuring
itself.
Either there must be an Amer
lea fit for all citizens or there will
be an America unfit for any citi-
zens.

BY the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, Aug. 4.-Construc-
ton contracts totaling $370 0,899 900
let in 16 Southern States during July
carried the awards during the first
seven months of the year almost
to the total in 1910, record year.
The Manufacturers Record said
today the seven-month aggregate
was s1.523,280, 600; the 1910 total.
1854 $4,000.
Public buildings headed the list
of July awards with a total of S201,-
359, 1000, most Of it for Federal mill
tary construction and to round out
civilian defense training programs
already in use.
Contracts of Sl04 $40 900 for in
dustrial projects ranked second.
This aggregate, mostly Government
financed, was almost five times the
amount of industrial contracts for
the comparable month of 1910, when
big naval base construction jobs
were in the fore.
The Record said a rise in Govern
ment building projects indicated a
shift in Federal expenditures from
new defense manufacturing plants
to establishment of increased facili-
ties for Army induction and training,
especially the Air Corps.
Some of the larger projects in the
contract stage include:
Anhydrous ammonia plant extern
sion, Morgantown, w. Va, S15.848,- =

NEW YORK, Aug. A New York
Cotton Exchange Committee today
in effect rejected suggestion of the

NEW YORK, Aug. 4-Cotton
f1uctuated erratically today.
Trade and commission house buy
ing, stimulated by reports that farm
bloc leaders were talking about 120
per cent parity, lifted prices to
gains of more than 81 bale.
Profit taking, New Orleans and
local selling attracted by the bulge
brought about a reaction. Later it
was counteracted by short covering
and renewed outside buying en-
couraged by sustained strength in
wheat.
Late prices held gains of 7 to l"
points; October, 1902; March, l7.36,
and May 1874.
Prices again turned downward
toward the close on nervous liquida-
ton which followed reports that
the new loan rate and freight diff
ferentials would be announced after
the market close. The new loan
rate calling for a price so far below
present levels was expected to result
in reactionary trend which ac-
counted for the late selloff.

In Sofia, King Boris of Bulgaria

signed by Secretary of State Hull
and Navy Secretary Knox. letters of
credit and an undisclosed amount
of money.
The colonel discovered his loss

had been stolen.
