Il. WHILe 1OI ANY negroes a
better watch for the old squeeze"
play in the current phenagling in
the housing situation now that
there has arisen the question of
what is what and who shall be who
ir authority.
Due to defense construction,
which is causing all iinds Of bur-
eaus to be set up, a strong differ
ence Of opinion has arisen as TO
who shall erect the new buildings:
whether the u. S. Housing author
ity of the Federal Works under
John W. Carmody with Nathan
Strauss as the directing head of
the U. S. Housing authority or the
FILA and Hole under John Pal
mer, neither Of whom in the past
has shown any interest, other than
to ignore them, in Negroes or
their problems in housing.
The USHA, to the credit Of Mr..
Strauss, has always had in front
the consideration shown Negroes
in all Of the projects.
Under his administration Of the
housing authority, there have been
labor policies established which
gave Negroes participation in the
payrolls as we'll as in the paying
out of rents; there have been more
units erected for Negroes with
population ratios thrown into the
discard and the housing needs TAX
en- as the basis for occupancy
more than one third Of the new
projects are occupied by Negroes,
compared with the accepted 10 per
cent for employment and popula-
ton usually taken as the basis;
better housing has been given Ne
groes; many Negroes have been
employed in the management Or
these projects with some two or
three hundred Negroes on projects
in various capacities as managers
and personnel directors, with sal
aries up to $4,000. Besides, this.
a number of Negroes are employed
in the policy forming departments
seeing that Negroes get a fair
break in the set-up. Negroes with
legal training are used in the U.s.
HA, many Of them holding respon-
sible executive positions.
Compared with the FILA, which
has justly been described as the
most vicious government agency,
showing discrimination to a high
degree, USHA has attempted 10
alleviate some of the complaints of
the Negroes who are in need of
housing.
The FILA has consistently refus-
ed to have anything to do with Ne
gro housing problems and only re-
Gently have two projects been APP
proved for and by this unit.
HOLC is almost as bad and
there seems to be little to choose
between them.
Now, with the clash represent
ing private industry on one side
and that side being FILA and HO-
LC. and governmental building on
the other, the schism between the
two has caused much uneasiness
as to where the Negro fits into the
picture.
President Roosevelt has appoin5-
ed Judge Roseman Of New York
to look into the situation and to
give a picture OF n whole tnlnS
so that some understanding may be
had as to what is to be the future
policy Of the housing projects
who is to build them and who is to
have control of them.
MI. Strauss has been an able adj
ministrator, to whom the question
Of color means little or nothing.
Therefore, because Of his own in
dependence and his intent, appar-
emily, to do what he considers right
he has been exceedingly unpopular
with some of the opponents to any
progressive movement which in

Morgenthau Warns Against Initiation
Perils; No Longer Distant Threat

Blunt warning that effective
controls must be employed now to
prevent runaway living costs and
consequent initiation was given by
Secretary of the Treasury, Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., in a speech to the
Advertising Club of Boston.
Mr.. Morgenthau said the Roose-
welt Administration is prepared to
take vigorous action to prevent in
flation but he added that this pro-
gram must have the full support
of the American people. He said:
I'VE have been talking about in
flation for long time as if it were
threat remote from our daily
lives. 1t is distant threat no
longer. We are facing it now and
we must deal with it at once.
"lf we are selfish or shortsight-
ed in facing this issue, the conse-
quences may haunt us and our chill
dren for years. But if we look at
the problem with clear vision and
firm resolve, we can beat this thing
If we keep always in mind the
interests of our country as whole
If we provide promptly the appro-
pirate means and use them vigor-
ously whenever necessary, we can
prevent initiation from fastening
its grip on us.
IF we fail to use the controls at
our disposal now, if we fail to do
the specific things which are in our
power to check initiation now, if
we allow prices to go on rising as
they did from 1916 to 1920, we may
find that food, fuel, shelter and

WHEAT ALLOTMENTS
FOR MD. FARMERS
Notices Being Sent to Pro
ducers With Allotment
Of Three Acres

Maryland farmers are now re-
ceiving their 1912 wheat acreage
allotments as established under
the AAA Farm Program, according
to Milton D. Moore county agent
for Washington County.
Each farmers allotment says
Mr. Moore, is his proportionate
share of the 1912 national wheat
allotment of 55,000,000 acres, which
is approximately II per cent less
than the 1941 allotment of $1,000
600 acres. The downward revision
for 1912, explained Mr.. Moore, is
principally due to drastic reduc-
tion in wheat exports which has
piled up a record carry-over of
wheat. With a prospective carry
over of about 5OO,OO0,00O bushels ex
Ipected on July l, 1912, the 1912 al
lotment was established at 55,000,-
600 acres, the same as the 1880 al
lotment. Notices are being mailed
to every producer who has an allot-
ment of three acres or more.
The allotment is adjusted each
year so that with the prospective
carry-over enough wheat will be
provided for normal domestic con-
sumption, normal exports, and at
least 80 per cent reserve. Off
cials point out that since the 55,-
100000 acre allotment is above the
level necessary to attain that OBJ
jective, above-normal reserves will
continue to be a definite part of
the United States wheat situation
for at least 2 or 8 years.
Wheat growers who cooperate in
this program for marketing stabili-
zation by planting within their al
lotments will qualify for conserva-
ton payments, parity payments,
crop insurance and wheat loans
and will not be subject to wheat
marketing quota penalties. A re-
cent announcement indicates that
producers will be given an oppor-
tunity to vote on quotas next spring
for the 1912 crop.

/. Why We Need Not Be Anxious
Today (vv. 24-3D. The answer is
simple-look at the birds. They
cannot work, they are not even
able to pray. yet God feeds them.
Consider the glory of the flowers.
Even a king cannot dress in such
beauty-God provided it for them.
Are ye not much better than
they?" ". 26).
No bird ever worried because it
did not have meal laid by for to-
morrow, and no flower has fretted
itself lest it's blossom failed to come
forth in its accustomed beauty.
Why should we be anxious?
Intelligent forethought is good and
proper, but anxiety about our daily
needs is always dishonoring to God.
He is ready and able to meet our
daily need.

whole future? 1t is in Gods hands,
and even if it were in our hands,
what could we do about it? Tomor-
row with its joys and sorrows is
not yet here, and when it does come
God will be here as loving Father
to graciously provide for every
moment of it.
What then shall we do? Verse 80
tells us, Seek ye first the kingdom
of God and his righteousness.
Give God first place in your life

This is the time when we must

we reduce undesirable purchasing

belief is that no group among US

by the ILLUSION of selfish gain into
allowing prices to rise unchecked.

as our Creator and our loving
Father. Why not accept it?
l. God Our Creator Gen. 1:26-28).
Both of our Scripture passages tell
us much about man, but in doing
so they reveal God.
l. How He Made Man wv. 26,
2O. God created man in his own
image" (v. 30. This does not refer
to any physical likeness, although
it is abundantly evident that man S
body is far above the animal level
and perfectly adapted to be the
dwelling place of the soul and the
instrument of its activity in a
physical world. Even the Son of
God took upon Himself the body of
a man and, in its glorified state,
still bears that body in heaven.
This means that mans body is
worthy of honor and considerate
care and use.
The real image of God in man is

He provided for every need Of man,
not only physical and social, but
also spiritual, for we read that He
walked with him lin the cool OF

his own sin broke that fellowship.
Gods love toward His creation is
shown by His provision for mans
complete joy and full usefulness.
IL. God Our Heavenly Father
(Matt 6:24-33).
Two things harass the mind and
heart of man-anxiety for today and
fear for tomorrow. He must have
what he and his family needs for
today, and it is constant struggle
for most men to meet that need.
Then, as though that were not
enough, there is always the NOR
rows new and possibly greater
needs. Even those who have all
