is among the draftees who will be

A graduate of the University of
Minnesota and president of the st.
Paul branch of the N. A. A. C. P,
Mr.. Reed is one of the most prom
Using young leaders developed in
Minnesota in recent years.
He is chairman of the Minnesota

whose activity in behalf of Negroes
in defense, military and industrial
has attracted nationwide attention
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1941-03-14

individual differences between per-
sons of one so-called race are far
greater than differences between
races. Every one of US has right
to be considered on his own merits,
and we should accord everyone else
the, same right. This is certainly
fundamental to our Christian faith
and it is an absolute essential" of
democracy.
This is an inheritance that is
ours from the Jewish race. AS a
matter of fact, which ought to
give pause to those who stir up
anti-Semitic feeling. His holiness
the Pope was certainly right when
he declared that we are all spirit
ually Semites. The roots of our
religion and of our democracy go
back to the prophets who saw the
value to God of each separate soul
and who cried out for justice and
righteousness between man and
man.
So warn you, my friends, that
person who would have you foster
or develop a prejudice against an
other person because he is a Protes-
tant, or because he is Catholic, OF
because he is a Jew, or who would
turn your heart against a person
whose skin is of another color, that
person is attacking the very founda-
tons of your religion and he it is
who is laying the ak at the root of
our democracy. He is the enemy,
more dangerous because closer at
hand, than either Hitler or Stain.
He is the one against whom we
must stand. And we must stand not
by adopting the Hitlerian method
of iquidating him. We must stand
with the example of our lives and
conduct.
Let no one pride himself that he
is without prejudice. The tendency
to think our own classification is
just a little better than that of
anyone else is as deeply ingrained
as original sin. We've all got some
of it and the problem is to deal
with it, just as we deal with other
tendencies we recognize as evil.
And I am going to give you some
suggestions.
First of all, enjoy what people
of other groups have created. Lis
ten to Negro spirituals. Familiar
ize yourself with the accomplish
ments Of Jewish scientists. Read
about Francis of Assist, and so on.
Second, whenever you hear peo-
pie say something disparaging of
Catholics, or Jews, be ready with
some gentle word of appreciation.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1941-03-14
ann speaking to INV Protestant

I am speaking to my Protestant
listeners directly now because we,
who are the majority group, most
desperately need to struggle
against such prejudice as only ma
jority groups can effect. But we
all need to keep these principles in
mind. And I am speaking not
simply in behalf of our friends in
minority groups, but most OF all
for our own sakes, for we are the
worst sufferers.
Third, cultivate acquaintanceshlp
and then friendship with persons
of other groups. It is only thus
you can really come to see people
as personalities and not as imper-
sonal members of a group. Again
this will not be so much of con-
tribution to the persons whom you
may befriend as it will be to your
own self, for you will discover new
resources of the human spirit.
For myself, think it's an excel
lent thing to worship with other
groups. ! like to go to a synagogue
and hear the sonorous reading in
Hebrew, thinking that perhaps
these very sounds were in the ears
of Jesus of Nazareth as he also
worshipped in a synagogue, where
the scroll of the law and of the
prophets were kept with pious care.
l like to worship with Catholic
friends who observe the mass. For
while I could not myself be a Jew
nor yet Catholic I feel closer to
other people when, in their pres
ence, approach the same God they
worship.
This is the way of Brotherhood.
This is the way of democracy. This
is the way of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ, whose blessed mother
was the queen of Jewish woman
hood. Let US pray: Our Father
God, Father of all humanity, help
us to resist the downward drag of
our sinful dispositions whereby we
look down upon any of thy children.
Make us valiant to face reality and
to make this, indeed, a nation with
justice and liberty for all. For
Jesus sake. Amen.

Letters
To the
Editor
All Negro Day

Editor: Mass action in the goth
century is imperative. The 10th
century was that of rugged individ-
ualism. Small business people at
that time thought that they could
acquire a personal fortune by OPP
Grating a small competitive bust
ness. But this way of doing bust
ness passed as did capitalism fifty
years ago. Now we have only
monopolies and not capitalism. If
you are still fighting capitalism,
your efforts are Of no avail. Apply
ing this same rule or a change of
business trends to our group, one
can say that individual action is of
no avail. This is expressed in
many Negro competing organiza-
tons. What is needed, it seems to
me, is first to have an all Negro
day in which various fighting fac
tons might come together for a
big day Of festivities. One of our
large parks, either Nicollet or Lex
ington, might be used for this pur-
pose. Negroes of the two cities
could form themselves in lines.
With drums beating, with floats,
with loud speakers and banners
with the inscription can. All Negro
Day." Of course anyone could at
tend who paid the admission
charge. This wouldn't be a Twin
City Negro fair, because we do not
want to make the same mistake
that was made by Chicago with
their Negro exposition. A demon
stration described above would
make our presence felt in the Twin
Cities. White people would take
notice.
We have plenty of local talent
such as singers, speakers and ex-
ecutives. Money could be made out
of such a day as this. Just think
what a cooperative festival would
mean to Negro Minnesota.

Minnesota Home Guards

By Morris Gibbs, Sr.
A great controversy is now raging
Over Stassen about the Negroes
status,
In regard to home defense guards
He selected two to investigate the
ruckus.
Meetings were called in the Twin
Cities,
Expressions heard were mostly
against,
But the result still seems cloudy
AS to what we're going to get.
We're a minority tits true
But we won't idly stand by,
On issues of discrimination
And not know the reason why.
Some of our group are
Stassenites,
Ready to think he's right,
Say yes, they'd like a separate
unit
Because there's no social
reforms in sight.
Segregation ideas from Negroes
Come mostly from those who
just won't learn,
Negroes here don't understand
such talk ...
Which keeps US internally worn.
On segregation issues
Well never get anywhere,
Till our group abandons the
| South's idea
That segregation is best for our
! welfare.
Wen never amount to anything
Until we as race can see,
The white man knows our
inherent faults
And plays them, because we
| constantly disagree.

NEGROES IN CINCINNATI
Expenditures of nOn-relief Negro

expenditures 1888. These families
used on the average nearly IS per
cent of their total family expendi-
lures for food, clothing, housing,
and fuel, light and refrigeration.
Food required 1871 per cent, and
clothing, housing, fuel, light and
refrigeration combined 1868 per
cent. Of the 100 families studied,
80 lived in rented homes and 10
owned their homes. Seventy-two of
the renting families lived in dwell
ings housing two or more families.
Six of the 10 homecoming fami-
lies lived in One-family detached
houses. Sixty-One renting families

and gas or electricity for cooking.
Fifteen of the families had tele-

family income.
Incomes for the families exceed

average. However, 81 per cent o
the families reported that increas
in liabilities or Withdrawals from
reserves exceeded savings durin,
the year. This net deficit is &C
counted for chiefly by increase il
debts to firms selling goods othe

families in Atlanta, Columbia, Mo
bile have larger insurance pre-
MUM payments than did white
people in these cities, at most in
come levels.
RENTS
When American village house
renting family sends the monthly
check to the landlord, it is likely
to be for some amount between
$1O-$2O. Average rents paid by
Negro families were less than half
as much as the cheapest rents of
any of the white village groups
studied, as shown in an analysis of
rental expenditures of 1886 native
Negro families living in Is Georgia
and South Carolina villages and in
10 North Carolina and Mississippi
villages. From 43 to So per cent
of these Negro families obtained
living quarters for payments of
less than SIS monthly; and from "a
to 81 per cent paid less than $40.
Average monthly rents were 81
and SIS respectively for the two
groups of villages studied.
RECREATION
In New York, Negroes spend as
much as whites for recreation, on
the same income levels, but in Col
umbus, Ohio, Negro families spend
less than whites on the same level.
MOVIES
The average Negro farmers
family of 1929 families studied in
the southeastern part of the United
States spent on the average OF
about 81 per family per year fol-
movies.
Only SO per cent of the Negro
families studied in the southeast
villages reported movie expendi
