vention. spoke against such a
proposition when II came on the
floor Of the convention Admittedly.
did switch my position and for
which I have no regrets. Because
events that occurred at the con-
vention not only sharply indicated
the vulnerability of our original
proposal. but also made me seri-
ously question the sincerity OF some
the Heterogeneous groups that
were its advocates.
For instance. before the election
of officers had taken place in the
convention, the minority report
proposed that Negro board men,
Der at large" be created with about
30 votes. But after the election OF
officers was over and the issue came
to the floor in the famous Saturday
night debate. the minority OF the
constitution committee switched its
proposal and eliminated the word
Negro" from its specification that
a board member at large be elected.
and proposed instead that a board
member at large be elected with
ONE vote. rather than with ap-
proximately 80 votes. How Insignia
cant this one vote would be may
be seen from the fact that the
regular board members cast any
where from 10 to 81 votes.
The discussion on Saturday night
on the watered-down minority re-
port and on the proposal Of the
majority further brought out the
political maneuvering behind this
whole issue.
There is no greater friend Of the
Negro in the international union
than President Thomas. 1t was he
who most vigorously denounced the
minority report as a form of Jim
Crow-ism in reverse. Thomas
pointed out that il was the duty of
all board members. white or Negro,
to represent all workers. and that
TO elect a Negro board member at
large with one measley vote would
mean that the responsibility OF all
other board members would be
buck-passed to this so-caned mem
Der at large.
The sponsors Of the watered.
down minority report hedged and
qualified and buck passed; they
claimed that the minority member
at large could be a woman, or q
Jew. or Negro. During the debate
opposition TO the phony report o.
the minority OF the constitution
committee was voiced by a number
OF Negro delegates including my
self. Brother Dan Carter Of Bombe

IN GEOGRAPHY.
TEXT, AUTHORS
SLUR NEGROES
Book Used In College Of
Education Found
Objectionable

Students in the College of Edu-
cation over at Wayne university
who plan to teach school and are
enrolled in a class called Geogra-
ply are getting a rare slant on the
race question from a text book
written by c. Langdon White and
George T. Renner According to
students this text book entitled
"Geography-An Introduction to HUI
man Zoology" is an approved text
at the university.
On page 752 Of this book which
was published in 1886 there are
some interesting comments by the
authors We quote If environment
exert an influence on the evolution
of races, such evidence must be
sought and gained by others than
geographers."
Admit Ignorance
After this neat little admission Of
ignorance on the subject of environ
mental influence, the authors pro-
coed TO make this statement: THE
American Negro is a case in point.
Though he has sojourned among
white peoples for several hundred
years in an environment wholly
different from that of his native
Africa. not a single one of his orig
inal characteristics has been alter
ed in so far as can be seen. His
skull is still long. low. and narrow.
his nose low and broad, his chin
only slightly developed. his hair
kinky. his skin black, his mental
qualities precisely what they were
originally. except where miscegena-
ton has occurred"
Mental Differences
The authors assume that the Afri-
cans mental qualities are very
different from those OF other races,
an assumption which many rep
utable scientists have disproved.
Not content with this admittedly
unscientific analysis Of environ
mental influence. the authors con-
tinue as follows:
Since the white. yellow and
black races differ so notably ply
sically and culturally. one wonders
whether they should be associated
in mass. and il so, whether they
should become smalgsmated"
The differences OF the above state
ment are very clear and Messrs.
White and Renner follow it up with
this bromide:
1T is often said that the inter-
marriage Of widely different breeds
produces inferior offsprfnEs. though
this may not be true" Admitting
that there Is some doubt on this
point the authors proceed to dig up
some support for this theory by
quoting one Fay-Cooper Cole as
follows:
Biased Beliefs
again We are frequently met
with the assertion that physically.
mentally and morally the half-breed
inherlts the worst elements OF both
ancestral lines. Denial. backed by
many exceptions, has not succeeded
in overcoming the oft-repes;ed
charge"
The authors sum up this little
discussion by yelled appeal. for
segregation which is contained in
an article by J. w. Gregory which
Is quoted as follows: 1.-The policy OF
co-residence with racial integrity
has failed to secure harmonious
progress in North America and
