ECONOMIC TERMS

ECONOMIC TERMS
This equality of races" ne said,
can at present be best expressed
in economic terms. It will mean
the abolition of that policy which
keeps human ability from express
ing itself"
Proof that his long-cherished
dream OF a Pan-American union
has not been dirlmed, DR.. Dubois
declared that the first move OF
the darker races after the wal
should be a determined effort tc
get wider acquaintance anlone
peoples who are suffering from
the same disabilities as ourselves
The speaker, recalling his first
glimpse OF Gernlany's colonial idea
during an African exhibit, which
was never widely publicized, ex-
pressed the belief that should the
Axis powers emerge the victors, "a
dark era would begin for not only
the peoples of Africa, but the
darker races everywhere. I"
FUTURE OF RACES
Though American Negroes would
possibly never come in direct con-
tact with the Nazis, he said. their
racial PHILOSOPHERS would definite
ly affect the best opinion in Anne
RIGA and "the future of the Negro
race in America would be exceed
ingly difficult
Despite the fact that the "face
OF the war is gradually changing
into war for the equality of
races American Negroes are still
doubtful" he said, s'that a victory
Tor the United Nations would
necessarily mean betterment of
their condition.
This victory cannot possibly be
brought about and maintained he
oplned, without the tremendous
and active help that the darker
races can give.
Recalling the struggles through
which Negroes went for recogn:-
ton during the last World War. DR..
Dubois expressed the opinion that
present-day Negro leaders staging a
battle for democracy on the home
front have been unusually sue
cesS1ul' IN obtaining immediate
and probably lasting results.
Charging that American Negroes
are prone to over-emphasize color,
DR.. Dubois compared this attitude
TO that of other darker peoples, who
ne said never thought of color ex-
cept as IN relation to white people
The part that the darker races
must play to bring about the ul-
innate triumph of the United Ma
