ARE NEGROES WASTEFUL?
BY George H. Davenport

Two weeks ago. Lucius Harper, writing in the Chicago
Defender, under Dustin off the News, quoted Roger w.
habson the business analyst as advising Negroes to save,
not waste their money. Ben Meyers, (Whoever he isl is all
that the Negro isn't wasteful. Ben Meyers, writing in the
same paper in answer to Babson says, ''Mr. Babson is scorn-
full of what he believes to be an inferior, shiftless and riot
GUS people, ETC. There are a great many people who do not
want to read the truth. There are Negroes who crave pity
because they are black. There are Negroes, who because they
are black and shiftess, carry a chip on their shoulder, using
racial discrimination as an outlet and excuse to cover up
the Negro as the Negro really it, lin the raw" This writer
is nearly 81 years young and every minute of that time
he has been what the white Americans have chosen to call
certain people, "A Negro" I read Babson's survey of the
Negro, and Mr.. Harper printed it in good faith in order to
head off, If POSSIBLE, a re-occurrence of economic ruin
Which faced this country just prior to the war and due
to conditions, we all know so we'll, was only trying to warn
the Negro that he should not get caught mapping again. Mr..
Babson was 100 percent right, Mr.. Harper was right in
quoting Mr.. Babson, Mr.. Meyers is either a Negro who is
unwilling to accept the truth or is a very narrow minded
white man trying to make some kind of a hit with the aver
age unthinking Negro. The Negro at best is a splendid in
dlVldual. Ills wants and desires far exceed his income.
Thrifty merchants of other groups know this to be a fact
This is what know - Negroes cat better, dress better.
and spend more money for amusements, liquor, gambling
and nonsense than any other group in America, when they
have the money. Mr.. Babson and Mr.. Harper were only try
ING to tell Sam ITO make a little, and spend a little less" -
think Ben Franklin was responsible for that one. Yes -
me Negro should save his money. Babson and Harper are
right 49, Meyers, you mean we'll - but you Just don't know.

WHAT IS THERE TO BE AFRAID OF?

Southern politicians in some states have already busted
themselves trying to find a way to get around the Supreme
Courts ruling giving the Negro a right to vote in Demo.
cratic primaries. Some have stated definitely that they Will
defy the court. .
Why such a mess? Truly the Negro voting, couldn't
make the political situation any worse. II they want good
government, the Negro should be welcomed. Evidently good
government isn't wanted. Nobody has any record where
The Negro has corrupted any government, even when ne
was in power with the ballot. The white man says he is
ignorant and iliterate. True to a certain extent. But, why
blame the Negro? When the system of government the
white man made, made no provision to give him proper edu-
cational facilities. Why? Was it because the white man
wasn't smart enough himself, to readily see that keeping
the Negro in iliteracy and poverty was invalidating his
community?
Some say. to allow the Negro to vote in Dmocratic pi-
maries would destroy white supremacy. If white supremacy
is built and maintained by denying one his Constitutional
right, some body is entertaining a false idea about it, and
if it is SO weak that allowing the Negro the full use of the
ballot will jeopardize it, it should be destroyed and forgot
ten.
Southerners are yelling fire, when there isn't any smoke.
There is nothing to be afraid OF by the Negro voting, if a
good system of government is desired. But, if Americans
want to continue to live a life of deceit and keep Hitler
laughing up his sleeve every time the word democracy is
mentioned, now is the time to keep the Negro out of poll
tics for the Negro wants to be a good citizen and there are
enough white people who want to see a perfect government
the Negro can join and make America stand for what her
name implies.

THE CHURCH rs

Many church bodies have done
much TO help people realize that
ideas Of race superiority or in
ieriurity are un-Christian. The
Department of Race Relations of
the Federal Council of the
Churches Of Christ i'm America
and the National Conference ct
Christians and Jews have eucour-
aged collaboration among church
leaders interested in i~uterracial
cooperation. During World War
Ill, the Executive Committee of

RACE PREJUDICE
NOT INEVITABLE

Freedom from fear Is the way
to cur raceprejudice. When ag-
sFessions like those of the Axis
are made impossible by guarantees
of collective security those guar

all races, Then Nazi race tactics
will be outmoded. In any eoun-
try every legal decision that up
holds equal citizenship rights
without regard to race OF color,
every labor decision that lessons
the terror Of being laid Off"
and gives a man self-respect in
his employment. every arrange
ment that secures the little farm

bank-al these and many more
can free people from fear, They
need not look for scapegoats.
The Russian nation has for a
generation shown what can be
done to outlaw race prejudice in

THE NEGRO AND HIS BALLOT
BY 1t. Stanley Jackson. 371st Infantry

For untold years We of the south and the north labored
through blood, sweat and tears to gain those things that
are r~ightfully ours in our democracy. Now during these
trying times we have reached one of our goals, namely the
right for our brothers and sisters of the south to vote. This
is only the first brick in the foundation. We can build "A
great mansion or a howell upon this brick. Which shall we
build?
The construction depends upon each of us, for each Of
us is a builder. Your ballot is that brick of your founda-
ton. Our master masons are those of our race who have
been schooled and taught the fine points Of political masonry.
1t is up to them to teach those of us who are not familiar
with the present day trends to give us their strength and
knowledge, SO that together we can build q more stately
mansion.
Our schools and churches, the foundations of our home.
should adopt a plan by which our children can become famil-
lar with our newly acquired rights. This is my plea TO nv
leaders. May our government grow strong and may this.
our inevitable right, weld into the structure of Democracy's
never failing beacon. The die is cast -. on to the finished
product we march!

In making the award the commit
tee said: THE interest and enthu-
siasm displayed by Mr.. Bishop have
been potent factors in the success
of the hospital venture. Indeed it
is unlikely that so many diverse
groups as we have here in Bethesda
Chevy Chase would have integrated
their aWareness of community health
needs into strong movement to
secure the necessary Federal support
for a hospital without his guiding
assistance"
Equally important to the hospital
movement, the committee said, have
been the services of Mrs. Perry as
chairman of the Women's Auxiliary
"She has pursued her work for this
organization with the idea that VOL
unteers cannot take the place of
professional workers, but they can
build up community resources which
will make the work of the profess
sionals more effective. She has sue
ceeded to a most unusual degree.

Manor Park Citizens Hit
'Leniency' in Crime Case!

The Manor Park Citizens Asso-
citation voted at its meeting last
night to ask Congress for an inves-
tigation of criminal sentences i'm
posed in the District. 1t was the
consensus of the group that the
majority of penalties given are toe
lenient and that an enforcement OF
sentences would cut down the
number of crimes committed in
Washington.
Certain members said that large
number of felonies could be at
tributed to an attempt at exemption
from military service on the part OF
criminals.
It was also suggested that the
United States should form a legion
similar to the French Foreign
Legion, which would comprise all
and PAROLES eligible for
military service.
Mrs. Ruth Huddleston, from the
speakers bureau of the American
Theater Wing, spoke on Military
Security" She stressed the advan-
tages in always thinking before
speaking, as effects of careless con-
versation may cause just as many
deaths as bullets"
James T. Scott presided at the
meeting, which was held at the
Whittier School, Fifth and Sheridan
streets NV.
