Production Markets UnexpIored

Production Markets UnexplOred
Market weather vanes should al
ways point to fair profit wind margins.
Buying power is the barometer that
dictates merchandising distribution.
Production leaders of vast business
combines in America have not given
full consideration to the purchasing
power of the Colored masses. This
phase of sales development has been
neglected perhaps not by design but by
misunderstanding of racial buying
psychology. ~
A complete survey of this field would
reveal five million buying-power rae
ial media. This is a potential factor

tablish closer contacts. Selected racial

THE GUARDIAN should be given
deep consideration as to methods of
approach. At six per cent per day
capita for 80 purchasing days, ex-
cluding Sundays and holidays, would
gross $93,000,000 from this group of
racial buyers. Allocating $25,000,000
for additional employees, $5,000000
for social security insurance, $5,000,-
900 for reserve capital, and $5,000,000
for advertising and public relation con-
facts in Colored newspapers, and 49,
100000 for a additional research, there
would result a total cost of S43, 100000,
netting an income of S50,000,000.
Public relations with wage earning
Colored America have never been es-
tablished on a basis to obtain greater
consumer results; hence a hesidant
policy of drifting into an unwanted
media of valueless volume without
prospect for interest in any way of
Colored Americas family needs. Prof
it margins are built upon foundation
of buying power. There is a possi-
bility of nearly $10,000,000 gross rae
ial purchasing power, hitherto neglect
ed. This would assure a collective
psychology, also advance an unexplor-
ed racial field of production. Accred-
tied statistics have reported trends out
not accurate racial buying power dur
ability of Colored America. The ma
tion's large business agencies have
failed to cooperate on a scale that
faith IN this particular group and its
process of spending necessitated ex-
pert investigation. A trend is not ac-
tual proof of unascertained cash in the
hands of group buyers whose merchan-
disc needs are calculated only on
-to-mouth basis.

June 8, was the first Sunday after

commended by the Bishop on the fine
cooperative spirit of the groups and
the splendid entertainment. Many were

parents. Music was furnished by Mrs.

ANOTHER RACE THEORY

Nobody is being fooled by the latest
Scientific" discovery which is being
ballyhooed in press dispatches from
Fort Bragg, N. c., relative to the
ability of colored men to see better
than white men by night light. 1t is
reminiscent of other notions about
race which have been foisted upon the
gullible from time to time and were
eventually exploded as science cooled
into honesty. One remembers that in
the Spanish American War Colored
men were said to be immune or less
susceptible to tropical fevers and were
enrolled in regiments labelled "Im-
munes," but when they were exposed
to the disease they fell victims to
fevers as readily as anybody else and
we heard no more of the "lmmunes."
The theory that colored could not
stand extreme cold was knocked silly
when Matt Henson proved to be the
most efficient member of Admiral
Peary's memorable expedition to the
frozen North when the North Pole was
discovered.
One suspects that the superior night
vision "dope" is a convenient device
either to fool Southern prejudice and
lessen Southern opposition to colored
enlistments in the armed forces or to
shunt colored men into labor battalions
on wider scale than is consistent with
the Administrations professed impair
tiality. Thus the June Opportunity
sums up the latter view:
"But we are concerned with the dis
play of naivete, to put it mildly, which
the news item reveals and its sugges
ton as to the limitations in the use of
colored soldiers provided the scientists
are not in error. Colored men can also
see in the daytime on the land, on the
sea, and in the air; can plot the range
of detectives and direct the fire of
artillery against them; can send and
receive messages by radio, by tele-
phone and by signal lights and flags;
plan and build bridges, fly and loose
fiery death on men women and chill
dren, can do anything that white men
can do if given the opportunity to
learn, and in some vital things they
are superior to white men.
"For instance, they can be loyal to
their country even if it has treated
them with something less than justice.
They can maintain faith in democracy,
even though democracy has not kept
faith with them. They can fully offer
their scant possessions and their lives
to safeguard the possessions of a ma
tion which literally has not shown the
moral courage to live up to the ideals
it processes to cherish"

aimed at reducing Southern opposition
to full participation by colored citi-
