Whites Publicize Us
With the fact apparent that the
Negro for some strange reason
which, after all, may not be strange
has not been very prolific in writ
ing his own books, it is plain that
the burden of presenting the Negro
to the world has been left almost
exclusively in the hands of whites,
a great group of whom have shown
outright prejudice in their portray
ais of Negro life, and, in most in
stances, lack of grasp of what the
Negro is, what he aspires to, and
what the future holds for him
based on his past. When learned
men, like DR.. Overstreet, take time
out to write articles that might
prove guide-posts for the handling
Of this subject-"Images and the
Negro" and then asks the question,
do Our Writers Really Know and
Understand this American" it is
an indication of a healthy condi-
ton that prevails in quarters where
we least expected it and where
much good can be generally if such
efforts are encouraged. This discus

Urqed at Bank ConcIave
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, May 26.--Dr. Mar
Gus Nader told delegates attending
the 49th annual Maryland Bankers
Association Convention in Baltimore
yesterday that ANY tinkering with
the public debt or any effort to solve
it at the expense of the banks or
through sleight-of- hand measures
is bound to lead to economic and
political disaster"
The professor of finance in the
graduate school of business admin
istration of New York University
said there is only one way of solv-
ing the public debt burden, and that
is through increased production, en-
larged national income and the
practice of economy by all public
bodies"
