"It's time the Negro decided
whether he should be lead BY the
house Negro or whether he shall
produce his own leadership.
"It's time for Negroes TO STOP
taking orders from leaders be-
hind walnut-topped desks-and the
time TO select leaders who will

My best answer to the
"Colored Crime Wave" agita-
tors is the angry comment If
a colored youth who once asked
me who started this war. He
said he knew the colored folks
weren't to blame. And he was
right too.
Hitler and MuSsolini began
all this grim tragedy in the
biggest crime wave of all time,
Neither man is a colored man,
thank God.
Nevertheless, colored men
from all over the world are
joining in to help rid the
world of these arch criminals,
just as they have fought ma
tional and international crime
throughout American history,
It is for such reasons that
those race-baiters who hope to
make a major issue out of a
comparatively few colored
crimes should be exposed and
drawn out into the open. In
the end it will be found they
have no more argument than
the major leagues have against
colored ball players. None.

Certainly colored criminals,

they will be punished. But we

Certain daily newspaper edl-

have been scrawling huge
headlines over sensational lists
of crimes allegedly committed
by colored people, mostly of
the younger generation. The
mwritten but cleverly intend
ed intention is to convey to the
American public the idea that
colored people are now acquir-
ing too much equality and
prosperity for their own good
and that-hbe the Indians,
our people should be sent back
to restricted reservations" Of
the pattern so loudly endorsed
BY some of Hitler's best friends
residing in Dixie.
Unless one is we'll acquainted

actually believe that the col

Boston Common Affair

There is no more "colored
Crime Wave" than there is a
white Crime Wave" Juvenile
delinquency is a national and
international problem going
way beyond the boundaries of
race, creed, and color and is
caused primarily by the condi'
tons created by this war. Any
efforts to make this condition
applicable only to the colored
race is base hypocrisy. And, as
matter Of record, the figures
seem to swing the other way,
in the direction of other
groups. Certainly the recent
disclosed Boston Common
happenings were not related to
colored in any considerable
degree. Not long ago a daily
paper reported that juvenile
delinquency among teen-ags
girls was unusually high due
to absence of parents in the
homes. Thefts, murders, di-
vorces and the like, still con-
