Despite all the propaganda to the contrary, it
is now becoming evident that the sO-caed zoot-suit
menace which is nothing but new name for an old
problem is not Negro problem but an American
social problem. Dead End Kids" of all racial groups
have been creating disturbances which are causing
nationwide concern. In Los Angeles these disturb
ances attained international significance as the MeXi-
can consul entered the picture to protect Mexican
nationals from the white mobs which took it upon
themselves to do something about the jitterbugs
We recognize the necessity for attacking juve-
nile delinquency but the current campaign of name
calling and overall condemnation of the youth of the
country is stupid approach to the probltm. Blast
ing the jitterbugs and hysterca verbal attacks are
actually giving the tterbugs the notoriety and fan
fare which the zoot-suiters have been seeking These
depression-born youth who too young to partci-
pate in the great war and who are seeking release
and refuge from heavy sense of Illustration must
be reached by social workers and trained people who
know how to deal with their problems. Mobs of self
righteous citizens and announcements from alarmed
adults are not the techniques needed today
Every social scientist in the country agrees that
juvenile delinquency is accident of the society but
it is produced by socioeconomic conditions which are
calculated to bring the worst out of any human
being The police officer who bashes a zoot-suiter
IN tne nead may tnln the ranks OF the ltterbugs tenn
porarily, but unless some measures are taken by
responsible authorities to guarantee the American
youth normal and decent environment our juvenile
problems will continue.
1t is always easy to use the big stick and some
adults prefer such measures, particularly those who
are not very far removed culturally and ntellec-
tualy from the zoot-suiters themselves While we
grant that emergency measures may at times be ne
cessary, we insist that alarmed citizens can make
real contribution to the country by urging the
creation of youth centers and recreatona programs
which will fill an immediate need until such time
as the sums cleared and the economic life of the
masses of the people is advanced
