TELLS ADVANCE

NASHVILLE, Feb. % amp -
Anation-wide broadcast Sunday
morning from Station WAC Of
this city heralded achievements Of
Negroes in the educational and
scientific fields. DR.. M. S. Davage
nationally known educator, secre-
tary in charge Of the 16 institu-
tons of learning for Negroes main
tanned by the Methodist church,
played a leading part in the dram
attic script. With him was DIR. Fl.
D. West, professor of physiological

medical students in Meharry. JOS

specializing in tropical diseases
preparatory to working among his
people. Miss Sanders is preparing
for a life work as a missionary

In rehearsing the service Of Ne

paid tribute to Robert H. Brooks
of Kentucky. first war casualty of
the United States armed forces,
killed in the Philippines Dec. s.,

in the south. He is listed among
the leading educators of the coun-
try.
Following his speech he was en-.
tertained at the YWCA by mem
bers of the Fisk alumni at a din
ner.
Following his address Dr.. Wea-
therford was interviewed by this
reporter. Asked if Negro papers
really preach race hate or merely
recorded it when and where it was
found, he replied that "some Of
them do but the majority preach
race hate" In reply to whether
Negro papers should print acts of
injustices and discrimination a.
gainst the race he said he thought
they should but not to stress it
too vehemently."
Further questioning revealed Dr..
W~eatherford thought the Negro
press, by spotlighting incidents a.
gainst Negro morale, had helped in
a small measure to ameliorate
some Of these conditions. He also
believed there was some good in
the weekly papers.

the rights of citizenship.

1.-THE rights of citizenship.
Privilege against class causes
friction and tension. wherever
there is oppression we will have a
~resurgence of the common man.
1t would be wise if we lifted the
pressure SO that every man has a
chance. There is no sound, I'M
biased, balanced judgement in tie
south. The white man is not will
ing to concede that the Negro
could achieve.
DR.. Weatherford stated that his
talk was not all against the white
people, that he was reserving some
thing for my Negro friends" To
qualify for his following state
ments he then said that he sub
scribed to 40 Negro papers and
read them all.
after reading these papers L
am forced to conclude that one
can't believe everything one sees
in newsprint. The Negro press IS
preaching race hatred. They are
little more than propaganda sheets
peachin g disunity. You should
read Warren Browns article in a
magazine. He is one of them and
should know. No paper that prca-
ches race hatred is a lover of coun-
try, whether it is white or black.
Concluding his speech, he said
that "the only hope for the south
is for each race to have faith and
confidence in one another. We
must all cultivate respect of PEG
pie, forget we are unlike and thar
we should be o like, forget our
false differences and believe all
men can make progress. Love is
good and if we practiced it we
might demonstrate to the world
that we could live together with
out friction"

and organizing SECRETARY for the
student YMCA work and for a sim
liar period of time was president

possibility that you and your wife

that you shouldn't have dates with
