son said it could not be done.
Manhood is merely racket. One
of Deaacon Ruff's white neighbors
committed his boys to be advised
and chastened and admonished by
this fine old colored man. When
Deacon Ruff was about to send
his boys away to college he told
the white boys that they should
go away also. They did.
Whatever Deacon Ruff's boys
took in school such took the white
boys. One of Deacon Ruff'S boys
specialized in chemistry and when
the white boy heard about it, he
also specialized in this field and
last year wrote what is acknoW-
lodged one of the finest texts in
chemistry to be found in the Ii
braries of the land. He has held
positions at Furman University,

the son who went out INTO MS

Deacon had son living III New
York City paying sos per month
for rent. He betook himself to
New York and lectured his son
thusly: "My son, if you are able
to pay $65 per month for rent

MANHOOD IN THE RAW =

MANY YEARS AGO deplored,
in one my releases, the denatur-
ing of Negro songs. In an attempt
to change these songs from spiri-
tual to the classical level, various
composers" have denatured these
songs in a way that detractS from
their beauty and pathes. Our
white friends who are SO fond OF
Negro songs ought to hear them
sung by Negroes and around Au-
gusta, Georgia where they are
sung in the raw.
I spent a night in Augusta, Geor-
gia many years 99O and fond my
self next door to a typical Georgia
revival with minister III charge,
a typical graduate of 'Whoop
University" Such singing l have
never heard before or since. For
many months, thereafter l could
hear in my mind those plaintive
songs so full and SO deep. 1t was a
night of rare enjoyment and !
shall Eever forget it.
College professors with their
"glee clubs" and choral groups
can sing the denatured Negro songs
i'll a way to please public who
has not heard the original Negro

WALTER CHlVERS SAYS

telliCentsia do not want color
caste to be true so battle against
any attempt at scientific proof OF
its validity with reinforced emo
tions 1t has been hard for white
people participating in interraclal
movements to accept it because
they must make cooperation be-
tween the races a matter of Chris
tan ethics. Many valuable White
people would be lost to the efforts
at interracial cooperation were it
not for their concept of a Chris
tian's duty to the less fortunate
They must even feel that What
thev gre doing is real cooperation.
WILL NEVER BE
1t is mainly because OF the rea-
sons stated above that the writer
believes that there never has been
an era when interracial coopera-
ton actually existed and that it
probably will not be achieved at
any practicable date.
However what does exist, as In
terracial cooperation, is a step in
the right direction and does credit
to itself as a worthwhile expert
ment. It does have considerable
success in gaining Negroes hear
ing before those white people whose
attitude about Negroes must begin
to change in their favor if the eX-
pertinent in interracial cooperation
is to continue on a worthwhile
plane.
It also assists Negroes in beglll-
ming to change their attitude about
white people which is just as valu-
able. 1T is essentially peace
movement and must operate with
peace producing tools-such as the
church, social service, democracy.
The men who operate these in
stitutions are all vdtally essential
to the success of the movement.
So the large task of changing IN
stitutional attitudes must be tackl-
ed in earnest. This is the toughest
Job of all.
The writer believes in the ex-
periments in interracial coopera-
ton in spite of their gaping de-
ficiencies. The success of the ex-
periments depends upon the inter-
est men show in becoming ethical
beings. Men are not born ethical
they must achieve it at the great
price of moral, intellectual, and
social discipline.

forward to other moves for their
benefit. It was understood from
sources said to be close to admin
istration officials that an attempt
to include the domestics, farmers,
ETC.. in the first bill was actually
planned, but that the opposition tc
this was so great from certain Sec
tions of the country that this class
of workers was left out with the
knowledge that an attempt would
be made to include them later.
1t seems no more than right and
Just that ALL the nations workers
should have some sort of guarantee
that they will not have to starv"
to death in their old age and that
they will be protected during in
TERMS or forced EMPLOYMENT.
OPPOSITION LOOMS
Behind it all looms opposition
from employers who paw their en-

WHAT a fall was there, my
countaymen!" A Roman said
something like that once speaking
of Great Caesars fall. MusSolini,
the newest OF the Caesars has for
a month on so, been falling all over
North Africa Who in Rome is get
ting ready to make a speech over
his grave?
Bardia, chief Fascist stronghold
in northeast Lydia, has just fallen,
as the latest Of the New Year
calamities to II Duce. When Italian
soldiers run, they run. When they
capitulate, they capitulate. You
can hardly keep up with them
when they run! you can hardly
count them when they surrender.
But something over $4,000 have
been bagged around Bardia.
Bardia has fallen so hard, and
with such roar, that the only
thing we can hear above the noise
Of its collapse, is the loud laugh
ter of Halle SelasSie.
Halle Selassie laughs-a rather
boisterous laughter. If the British
Royal Air Force will take care Of
the air in Abysinnia, and will re-
furnish arms to the disarmed peo-
pIe of that raped nation, the
EthiopianS will take care of the

ground and there will be no resting
place for the mighty Roman III
East Africa.
If the AbyssinianS do get after
II Ducefs legions in Ethiopia, ]
advise them to turn as fast as pos
sible to the coast and surrender to
the coast and surrender to the
British navy units on the Fed Sea
and in the Gulf of Alden. Almost
anything will be preferable to fall
ing into the hands of these black
people who have learned the hor-
rors of Fascist occupation for five
years.
And Just think of it: Mussolini
might have so easily stayed out
of this war. Mr.. Roosevelt patted
him on the back, so to speak, and
offered him all the trade of the
Western Hemisphere if he would
just stay in his place and talk as
big as he wished, and do nothing.
But, no, no: Hitler was going to be
in London last July or August, and
Mr.. MuSsolini wanted to meet him
there and help to dictate peace
tc' Winston Churchill. And now
Mussolini is finding it very diff
ficult to stay in Africa anywhere,
and he had better watch his step
even in Rome.
Soon we shall see more.
