White Supremacy"
(FrOm Antioch NOtes)

With many Americans and Eng
lishmen, white supremacy is an
absolute dogma, not to be ques-
toned. That attitude is a sure
cause of world war.
Today less than one man in
three is "white." Each years in
crease in India alone equals the
total combined population of Den
mark and Norway. Because of
relative birthrates and sanitary
progress, in two or three genera
lions men of non-European de-
scent may outnumber whites six

Meanwhile, China and India
probably will become as mechan-

whites the world over are coming
to feel themselves as members of
one brotherhood. Russia, having
no race discrimination, is re-
spected. But in general, non-white
peoples are learning by the white
mans example what to do when
they become dominant. White
peoples are having perhaps their
last chance to set an example of
good will, equal opportunity, and
fair play. Race prejudice is a
terribly expensive luxury.

QUESTION, YIELD NOTHING
AND TALK

If the present Congress errs in
too much talking, how can it be
otherwise, in a body to which the
people send one hundred and fifty
lawyers, whose trade it is to ques-
ton everything, yield nothing and
talk by the hour? That one hundred

ness together ought not to be ex-
pected.-ThOmas Jefferson, in a

youth. The bright lights, the ribald
laughter of the gin-mill, the blare
of the jukebox, the thrills of all
night parties. dances and plain
hinges, are major rivals with which
the child must compete for par
entail attention.
Other children are being reared
and treated as adults instead of as
what they are. The consequences of
this is seen in the vulgar concep-
tons of sex, and the ready accep-
lance Of various forms of depravity.
The instability of the mental out
look among our youngsters can be
clearly discerned from a study of
the records of Selective Service
Boards in Negro communities. The
number of AT Negroes of 10 years
of age and over is appalling.
There are many Negroes of great
learning and standing who will say
in answer to these statements that
the white man has made the Ne
gro what he is. They will contend
vigorously that white children are
worse than ours on an average;
they will cite figures to prove that
more juvenile delinquency exists in
poor white neighborhoods on a per-
centage basis than is present in
the all-Negro community. They
glibly say (and the spread of such
theories is having an opposite and
regrettable effect among the Ne
gro masses) that when the white
man allows the Negro more free
dom, then will be the time to
straighten out this and that. Mean
while prisons throughout the land
are showing an alarmingly high
percentage of Negroes incarcerated.
The street corners, the poolrooms,
candy stores, theatre Hobbies, gin
mills, dancehalls, alleys and gaming
rooms are being filled with our
neglected young people, both boys
and girls, busy weaving the net
that will ensnare the whole race
before long.

Cops Won't Help Do Job

The fallacy of the idea that the
police department is equipped and
inclined to raise our children is
terribly wrong. So is the attitude
that the school teachers should
teach our children the fundamental
lessons of good behavior SO neces-
sary in developing sense of good
citizenship.
The police, where Negroes are
concerned-and that goes for the
cops from Los Angeles, to New
York, from New Orleans to Grand
Rapids, guard public and private
property, white business places,
white men and white women. They
seldom evince any save perfunctory
interest in the crimes and offenses
Negroes commit against one anoth-
er. The white school teachers, ex-
cept in rare cases, know little of
the problems we face as Negroes,
nor have too much sympathy with
them. They carry out their jobs
to the letter-mainly preparing
their pupils for graduation.
Thus the job of raising our own
falls back in our laps. We cannot
dodge it. No excuse, no subterfuge
can get around the fact that to curb
the rise of hoodlumism among
young Negroes, mothers and faith
ers will have to stop being children
and give their own offspring a
break. Otherwise, our greatest con-
tribution to these war years will
be a generation of young hoodlums
allowed to run wild.

Those Days Gone Forever

1HOSc lays UOHe OTeNeF
Today, however, those virtues
of yesteryear seem to have been
discarded. In fact, they are told of
to people who listen incredulously.
Fierce resentment is voiced and ex-
pressed at the mere suggestion of a
neighbor that a child has done
something wrong. Everybody lives
or tries to live strictly to himself.
There is no common consensus that
the rearing of children is a COM
munity as we'll as a parental re-
sponsibility. Nothing is done to
develop this spirit of cooperation in
meeting a common problem. Home
punishment, when it is admin
istered, is usually the result of per-
sonal irritation, moods and whims.
Such irregularities, such tempera-
mental attitudes toward a family
function that is fundamental as the
business of earning a living, are
daily breeding trouble and woe for
the entire race.
The collapse of moral values and
standards among Negroes in metro
politan communities is deplorable,
especially since little or nothing in
an effective way is being done to
retrieve that which is being lost.
Children learn to use foul, filthy
language at home from mothers
and fathers, elder sisters and broth
ers. Parents have been found who
teach or allow their children to
publicly smoke cigarettes before
they are 14'years> old; and in many
instances, children are taught or
allowed to drink wine, beer and
whiskey at a tender age.
Parents Pleasure Bent
The child's life and upbringing
are subordinated to the pleasures of
living and the personal desires of
its parents. The mother and father
are so busy having a good time or
earning a living themselves, that
they seem to have forgotten their
sacred duty to see through the de-
velopment of their offspring in the
perilous years of adolescence and
