Praises Negro
Before Grads

Carroll Reed, Superintendent of
Minneapolis Public schools, con-
graduated the 1941 high school
graduates at the Urban League
Youth Council Banquet, Monday
evening, June 16, on their achieve
ments. He gave special recogni-
ton to those students who have
made outstanding achievements in
scholarship and extra-curricular
activities during the school year.
Superintendent Reed encouraged
Negro youth to keep pressing for
ward. He urged Negro youth to
prepare for highly skilled trades in
industry as we'll as preparing for
broad cultural education. A new
day is dawning for Negroes and
youth must be prepared for that
day, the speaker added.
Miss Katharine Kohler spoke on
the program for out-of-school
youth and the need for more Me-
groes to register in those classes
in Adult Education. She said that
the best way Negro youth can as
sure themselves of jobs is by being
twice as well prepared as white
youth. Two Negroes were among
the graduates of the June class of
al of West High Evening school
and they were present at the ban
quet. They were Miss Ruby Craig
and Mr.. George Henderson.
John Thomas told about the or
ganization of the Pinnacle Club at
North High and its very remark
able growth and success. He also
spoke of the increased development
of Negro participation in school
life.
North High School had the
largest number of graduates pres
ent and South High the second
largest number of graduates pres
ent. Central High took honors for
having the Class of 1900 repre-
scented by Mrs. Lulu Blair Maxwell
Among the prominent guests
were Miss Helen Bauman, DR.
Charles Drake, Henry j. Bosses

cation; Miss Magnolia Latimer, Mr.
and Mrs. Cecil E. Newman, Tai.

man and he says he loves me.
have two little girls and my father
told me to move. He wants to whip
me when things don't go right and
I am grown. Must I move with the
help of my friends as I don't think
I will get anywhere here?
Ans: Your problem doesn't just
involve you and your happiness
but the future of your TWO
LITTLE GIRLS. Stay there under
the roof of your father until you
get married again and then you
may take your children and leave.
Your father isn't too strict but
he demands that you live respect
full and do for your children. If
this man loved you as much as he
claims, why doesn't he offer you
marriage. AS long as you do the
right thing your father won't make
any attempt to whip you.
B. M: Would be making a wise
step to change cities and try to go
out west like 1 plan? I have al
ways thought that 1 would enjoy
going to see what it was all about l?
Ans: Giving up your job seems
a little foolish right now, as you
have just had an increase in pay

and seem to be well. Make a trip
out west in July when you take
your vacation. It seems to me that
you will see all that you want to in
two weeks time and will be
tickled to death to get back on the
old job.
F. D. B.: Does the young man I
am in love with really care for me
or is it best for me to give him up
before I go too far?
Ans: I'm sure you would be us
ing good judgment not to encOur-
age the young man any further for
you know perfectly well what he is
out for and if he finds he isn't 60
ing to get it he will drop you
like hot potato.
J. J. j.: Is my wife living true
to me? She always wants to go
out and leave me at home and when
she come back she fight me about
another woman. l got in my mind
to leave her and get me a room
somewhere else as l don't like the
way she is doing.
Ans: Go when she goes do
the things she likes or you won't
find any happiness together. Don't
make outside friends for they only
cause more trouble in the home.

SCALING DOWN
OF DEBT LEVELS
IS Mandatory
Debt Levels Inflated During
World War No. 1, Makes
Unbearable Overhead for
Farmers; Loss of Farms
Over 100000 Annually.

Pointing to the need for effective
debt adjustment action, Governor A
G. Black of the Farm Credit Admins
tration declared in a recent speech
Tenancy is growing and the concen.
tration of the land in fewer and fewer
hands continues" He cited the fact
that two-thirds of all land in farms is
operated by less than 20 per cent of
all the farmers"
"On the other hand" he asserted,
there are estimated to be three mil
lion men living on farms, half of
whom registered in 1897 as totally or
partially unemployed, and the other
10000 and their dependents barely
exist on gross cash incomes from
their farm operations averaging less
than 5000 year" He stated that such
conditions ARE being made more
acute by the second World war"
For the first time the BAE has Off
cialiy estimated the actual number of
forced farm sales and related defaults
over a ten-year period. This count
shows a total of 1,739,000 such sales
from 1880 to 1899 Since there are
now 6,096,789 farms in the U. s., ac-
cording to the 1910 census, this means
that more than one out of every four
farms suffered forced sale in the
ten-year period.

CHILDREN MUST BUY
BOOKS IN 20 STATES

A study recently prepared by Mr.
Nolan for the Southern Planter shows
that in only 28 of the 4S states does
the state provide free textbooks in
some form to school children. Eight
of these states are in the farm belt
North Dakota, Kansas, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois and
Indiana.
Other states which still do not pro-
vide free school books also have large
rural populations. These are Wash
ington, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, New
York, Michigan, Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Ala
bama, Mississippi. Farm families,
especially, with low cash incomes and
large families find the purchase of
school books for their children a great
burden.
Mr.. Nolan points out, moreover, that
frequent changes In school books are
not uncommon. In some states the
frequent adoption of new books by the
school system in order to create bust
ness for book companies has become
a public scandal. 1t is the general
feeling that books will not be changed
as frequently if the state, instead of
the student, supplies the texts"

CALLS
OVERLAPPING
BLACkMAIL

Attacking what he termed "a snoop-
ing bill" Congressman John M. Coffee
of Washington testified against the
overlapping measure, HR 1866, on
which hearings were held by a sub
committee of the house Judiciary com
mittee. He asserted that the measure
would be an abridgment of the Bill
of Right and dangerous invasion of
personal privacy
This measure, introduced by Rep.
Hobbs of Alabama, would legalize
overlapping by federal officials and
would allow information obtained in
this heretofore illegal manner to be
introduced as evidence in court. Mem
bers of the judiciary committee state
that j. Edgar Hoover of the FBI
wants overlapping legalized.
Considerable evidence was intro
duced to show that j. Edgar Hoover
had himself opposed overlapping over
a 13-year period as detrimental" to
law enforcement and also as "uneth-
ical," and that even as late as 1910
he had said that, even If legal, it
should not be used.
Sol Kapelsohn, representing the Ma
tional Federation of Constitutional
Liberties said, "On three occasions
congress has opposed and forbidden
overlapping and one of these occa-
sions was In 1918 when our country
was at war; at that time j. Edgar
Hoover stated in opposition to such
a measure, Wire tapping makes
crooks out of honest detectives"
Kapelsohn asserted, No concrete
evidence has been presented by any
one to show that overlapping is
needed; no justification has been Civ
en-. Neither the attorney general nor
Mr.. Hoover has appeared before the
committee. 1t has simply been said
that the measure is needed for catch
ing criminals and for national de-
tense, but no prima facie evidence has
been submitted.
Representing Labor's Non-Partisan
League, John T. Jones called the bill
IAN instrument susceptible to the uses
of tyranny, of blackmail of oppres-
sion"

Be Conscripted for Labor in

vealed by Labor Minister.

LONDON-(FP)-G of 20 and q
will soon be conscripted for jobs in
war industries, Labor Minister Ernest
Bevin revealed on March 16. The
plan will also include men of Al to As.
Registration of 20-year-old women
will take place on April 10 and men
of Al and AZ will register on April 5.
The 21-year-old women and men of
43 and As will be registered at later
dates.
After registration, the young women
and the older men (the latter are be-
yond military draft ages) will be as
signed to work in the munitions fac
tories, shipyards and other essential
industries Unskilled workers will un-
dergo preliminary training. Bevin
said in nationwide RADIO address
that proper wages would be paid
those assigned to jobs for which they
will have to be trained first"
Both men and women were urged
to volunteer for jobs before being re-
CURED to go to work Concluding his
speech, Beyin declared:
when you take on job, either in
the services or industry, you must
stick to it. 1t will be hard work, but
if we are to stand up and beat Hitler
with all his resources in men and
women we must have every available

localities where they are badly needed
and informing employers to obtain
workers through the United States
Employment Service rather than by
advertising for help in order to pre-
vent a serious labor dislocation.
In addition to the above, nation
wide program on rather ambitious
scale to train workers for defense jobs
is already in full swing. But good me-
chanics just aren't made in six months
and the defense program meantime
must proceed with ever-increasing
tempo to reach an about national eff
fort in the shortest time possible. And
in this effort time is of the essence.
Immediate Action Necessary
To Prevent Living Costs Rise
An increase of 20 per cent in the
price of basic raw materials since the
start of the war (price of burlap has
gone up So per cent; zinc SO per cent,
and wool, so per cent and still soar
ing), portends sharp increase in liv-
ing costs in the near future.
Thus far, according to official fig
ures, disputed by most housewives,
living costs have gone up only about
21a per cent, which includes a ~
per cent rise in costs of foodstuffs,
but the trade is freely predicting
sharp increases soon in all items that
enter into the cost of living. These
trade forecasts, together with increase
in cost of basic raw materials, is al
ways a good barometer.
Experts, including Donald Montgom-
cry, consumers counsel in the Triple
A, warn that unless the following
steps are taken, none of which are in
evidence as yet, retail prices will soon

states that Latin Americas compile
mentary or non-competitive agricul-
tural exports do not constitute the
basis for any substantial and perma-
nent increase in trade because their
volume fluctuates with industrial ac-
tivity in the United States"
A foreign policy report of August 1,
1910, concludes, "The record of inter-
American trade for the first six
months of the war demonstrates the
ability of the United. States to supply
the Latin American demand for goods
no longer obtainable abroad. At the
same time it shows that this country
failed to take the place of Latin
Americas lost customers"
A survey of Latin American agri-
cultural exports reveals that the
United States does not at the present

whatever market we could supply
