ing in that attribute; ashamed of
his ancestry, and always trying to
get as far from it as possible
deluding himself with claims of
equality with the white race that
are not borne out by his appear
ance, his present attainments nor
his background in recorded history.
The Negro attempts to conceal his
identity by sidestepping his racial
name, NEGRO, and classifying
himself with the 'colored' races,
red, yellow and brown, none of
whom are Negroid racially; are dis
tinct in racial type, and bear little
resemblance to one another. The
Negroes claim to kinship with them
lies in the absurd logic that, since
they are not white, and he is not
white; ergo, he is the same as they.
"If," continues our good Southern
White Friend, "as the Negro claims,
his race is as good as the white
race, why does he not content him
self with Negro association Does
not his preference for white asso-
ciates prove his own claims to be
ridiculous in the eyes of the other
races? If the Negro possesses all
the intellectual, inventive and ad-
ministrative abilities of the white
race, why not prove his contention
by establishing a government of.
for and by Negroes, and demon
strating his equality with the rul-
ing races, white and yellow? Why
such scant attention to that Negro
proving ground, Liberia? Would
even the Negroes, themselves, feel
secure with our coasts guarded by
a fleet manned exclusively by Ne
groes; by an air force stated and
operated by Negroes; by an army
composed wholly of Negroes? II
not why not?
Does Bang Up Job
Our good Southern White
Friend" has done bang up job of
spreading racial confusion, dis
unity and hatred with his, "The
Negro Disillusioned." He builds
up lot of phony logic to support
his premise that Negroes smell like
horses and camels; that the Negroes
best bet is to accept a sub-human
status of non-citizen, ward-of-his-
good Southern White Friends; be-
lieve that Abe Lincoln committed a
cardinal error in granting freedom
to the slave, and to hope in some
nebulous future when all the whites
are in their grave as the best time
for him to ask for the ballot and
the chance to ride on a southern
street car seated by a white per-
son.
For every good gesture or word
by the great liberals of today-the
Lillian Smiths, the Dabneys, the
Ethridges, or the ellis, there is one
vicious evil white man ubo oon
reach more "uninstructed" whites
than they can. This is seen in "The
Negro Disillusioned." No telling how
many copies of this drivel have
been distributed throughout the
South. I got it through the mail.
Maybe a whole lot of white people
down South and elsewhere did also.

raise the millions of Negroes
throughout the South to a level
where they are considered as and
treated like. men and women, equal
with the whites save for their color.
This almost impossible task
which the Smiths, Grahams, Dab
neys, Ethridges and others have
assumed is made what it is by the
evil work of a comparative few
whites who are thoroughly con-
WINGED that "White Supremacy" is
the key to the white mans domi-
nance of the world and particularly
of the Negro.
An Alternative-Leave South
When millions of minds are sus-
ceptible to vicious, insidious anti
Negro hate propaganda as are the
average whites of the South, the
situation appears hopeless and
gives rise to suggestions that the
Negro leave the South en- masse
for other sections of the country
where at least he might be re-
garded as a human being. The
constant preaching of doctrines that
portray the Negro as sub-human,
as more or less a ward of the white
man has it's effect on every white
man, regardless of his intellect or
his understanding. Birth of a
Nation" "The Clansman" and
other books and moving pictures
perpetuating the theory of white
supremacy have influenced millions
in their attitude toward the Negro,
thus making the position of the
Smiths, the Grahams, Dabneys,
Ethridges and ellis all the more
difficult.
AS an example of this, l am quot
ing from the latest diatribe that is
designed to create more disunity,
hatred and confusion among Ameri-
can people. Issued by the Cru
sader Publishing Co. at Childers-
burg, Alabama, the four page PAM
phlet is entitled, "The Negro
Disillusioned" and is "By a South
ern White Friend" 1t has been
reported that thousands upon thou
sands of the pamphlets have been
scattered throughout the South.
The result can be seen in the cur
rent yelps of the Negro haters.
"Our Southern White Friend"
writes ITO open the eyes of the
Negroes (and some white people)
to the actual status of the Negro
race in America; to acquaint them
with that races lack of intellectual
background, and to pour oil on the
troubled waters of racial discord-
disturbed by claims of equality that
have no factual support and exist
only as the hollow mockery of
politics.
Only Negro Ashamed of Race
"Of the five races with which the
Earth is peopled," says our South
ern White Friend" only one, the
Negro, is ashamed of his race and
tries to be something other than
what GOD made him. Neither the
Red, Yellow nor Brown races want
to be white, as the Negro ever
strives to become. Instead of hav-
ing that pride-of-race attached to
the white, red, yellow and brown
races, the black race is wholly lack

Women's Club Hears
 Philip Cummings

Philip Cummings, news analyst and commentator, spoke yesterday at @ meeting of the Waterbury Women's club. About l25 persons attended.
 Listing obstacles in the success full winning of the war, MT. Cum mings said the Falangist movement in South America has created 0 form of Fascist terrorism in many Latin American countries, It is based on Q theory of Hispanism and teaches that the United States is anti-Ctaholic to an extreme and imperialistic.
 dGushmongers, 0 term he ape piled to persons who entertain Ger man and Italian war prisoners in this country because they feel the people of both Germany and Italy are not responsible for the war, were also attacked by Mir. Cum. mings. He asserted he has refused to accept the point of view of the "gushmongers" because the general population of these countries has not sacrificed itself to any degree to prove 1t is against It's leaders.
 The problem of the colonies, such as the Arab-Jewish situation in Palestine and the eventual inde- pendenee of India, were also de- scrihed by the speaker as blocking Allied victory. Only 32 million of the 3ss million people in India want freedom from the British empire, he said. The problem there is no longer between England and India but among the Indians, he asserted.
 Other block, MT, Cummings said, are the problems of the United Na- tions coming to agreements, the question of whnt to do with small nations, and the degree of aecept- anee of government. in-exile.
 In conclusion the speaker deelar- cd that the talk of reconversion of industry at home was poor for the morale of soldiers in the Pacific who still have to battle the il ,00 mile life line of the Japanese.
 MT. Cummings also addressed 100 members and guests of the Water- bury Junior league last night at The Elton. A dinner business meeting was held in the University club rooms prior to the lecture, Mrs, Robert Coe presided.
