Little Greece
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.

ny NUAElS SADDS1 Dr.
Little countries can take courage
From the way Greece has shown,
That size does not always prove
A factor for victory alone.
Greece from the start, made prog
resS
That gave other small countries
heart,
And naturally there will be a stiff
ening.
And Fascism wont play such an
important part.
Greece is fighting for her freedom,
Freedom from a tyrant's heel,
She has seen others crushed
And resolved to fight with steel.
Steel of a bayonet, the Italians
don't like,
Which the skirted Greeks are adept
at,
This is the way they prefer to fight
And the Italians haven't beat them
yet.
They who fight for their own
country,
Fight with unfatiguing fervor,
Can endure hardships willingly
And nothing seems to bother.
The Greeks have shown the world
as of old
They can still hold their own,
AS blitzkriegs planned don't al
ways turn out
When a nations united, freedoms
never flown.

Henry o. Tanner, Negro, IA
nous painter of Biblical scenes,
was born in Pittsburgh, Penn, son
of Bishop Tanner of the A. NJ. E,
Church. He first studied in the
art schools of Philadelphia from
which training he went to Paris
and stndied under Benjamin Con-
slant and Julien.
In 1895 his "Sabot Maker" was
shown in Paris. In 1896 he ex-
hibited Daniel in the Lions Den, "
the painting (first) of a line of re-
hgious works with which his fame
has been since connected. The
Chicago Art Institute purchased
for 81 500 his ''Two Disciples at
the Tomb"
When the slave trade was in its
height $4,000 or 100000 were
brought over every year. When
we think of how the CONSUMPTION
of 100000 men upset the social,
political and economic life of the
United States we can readily esti-
mate the effects of the loss to
Africa of 100000 of it's black
population.
Negro Problem, by Julia E. John
sen, on page 101, says: Negroes
do not want to dominate anybody
they merely want representa-
ton; they do not want to hate the
white people. They do not want
bolshevism. They do not want
anarchy. They want to be Ameri-
can citizens in the greatest de-
mocracy of the world. They are
not aliens-they were born here.
Do you think Negroes want too
much ?"
