garden. 1t would be a heavy blow
to the South to lose its Negroes.
Ours is a capitalist economy in
which the monied class hires la
Dor for wages the Negroes
forming a large per cent of the
latter.
The senator might look bit
further into the history Of human
progress. This would tell him that
peoples rise in the scale Of living
as the ystrive for Improvement.
American Negroes have come up
%roia slavery, passed through a
period Of illiteracy and econom-
ic servitude, and are now reach
ing out for an education and
chance to have some of the good
things of life.
Shall we try to hold them back
from economic freedom, and from
educational advantages which
would help them to become better
workers and citizens? On the right
answer to this question depends
not only the future of the Negro
but the economic we'll being of the
South.
