HELPING OURSELVES

Ernest Marshall reminds us that Detroit Is lag
ging in the drive 10 raise funds for the support of
the Negro Colleges Of the South Certainly il should
rot be necessary to belabor either the need of these
Southern colleges or our own responsibility TO help
them. We know full well that the prejudlced ee-
n1ents in the South want to keep Negroes jlhterate
and ignorant and we know also that the progress of
Southern Negroes is directly related to the advance
merit Of the whole group regardless Of geography.
Many whites who are sincerely interested II
our welfare have made and are continuing to make
large contributions TO the United Negro College
Fund II is good investment in the national vel
fare. Certainly Negroes who are in a position to
help and that includes practically all Of US should
do their part.
The South has thrown every possible obstacle
in the way Of Negro progress. BY keeping Negroes
ignorant. they are able to fortity their cherished
myth Of white supremacy. These Negro colleges can
in some measure offset the aims Of the Dixie racsts
and help destroy the myths which are 50 popular
today. Further, history shows that it is humanity
impossible 10 keep educated and intelligent mi
nority forever in bondage.

a NEW DEAL

The resignation of Abner Ferguson as Com
missioner of the Federal Housing Administration
gives President Truman an opportunity to correct a
very bad condition. The notorious racial policies
of FLA have been under fire ever since its incep-
ton and very little has been done about it.
The FILA guarantees loans made by banks and
lending institutions for new housing Although
the FLA does not directly make any loans for home
building, this agency can make sure that all citizens
are given an opportunity to get needed housing At
one time 1t was easier for Negro to qualify to get
into heaven than it was to qualify for FILA loan
to build new house.
We hope that the President will appoint an adj
mnstrator who is concerned with the housing needs
of all Americans and who is not interested in main
tanning the color bar Federal agencies which
operate on racial basis can do more harm than
good in society.

Jobs FOR ALL

Forty outstanding national leaders, among
them economists. engineers and educators nave
signed public manifesto urging that something
concrete be done now 10 assure full employment IN
the postwar. This group believes that legislative
measures 10 promote full employment should be
taken UP by the Congress Immediately
Two important points were made IN the state
rcnt released by these leaders which warrant con-
siderable attention The group contends mere Is
certainly no lack Of need for peacctlme goods. Inc
necfrrsl records Of the draft board the living con-
dtionS in cities and on the farms the worn out
equipment of industry and agriculture the under
developed regions within and outside of the United
States, all testify that there potential markets
for everything we can produce.
Il is obvious that the basic needs of the Amer
can people present tremendous challenge to in
dustry. The low standards of living particularly
in the downtrodden South, requires an about effort
. by industry which in many ways can be compared
with the tremendous industrial effort needed to win
this war Common sense suggests that If we can
spesd billions for war We should be able to spend
billions 10 improve the national welfare in time Of
peace
The second point which we consider important
in the manifesto centers about the disastrous social
repercussions Of widespread unemployment IN the
postwar. If return to job scarcity, the leaders
point out. QSIOcatlOn ana dlSunllN can multiply by
day and night Racial and group feelings of IN
justice can feed upon themselves. 1t will be the
chance of century for those who organize unrest
and build suspicious Of unfairness.'
This warning has great deal Of merit and it
must be taken seriously, Unemployment breeds un-
rest and builds up tensions which make social living
hazardous and frightful. Fierce competition for
survival in our complex society can have many dis
turbng consequences. Widespread economic dis
tress provides fertile field for fascsts and dcta
tors.
Hitler and Mussolini were able to seize control
of great part of Europe because they offered the
depressed and hungry peoples new hope although
false, for prosperity and happiness The dictators
believed that the sures way 70 bring prosperity to
their countries was TO rob their neighbors The end
justified the means in their eyes and violence be-
came a national principle.
Experience has taught us that democracy we
know il cannot survive if the people reduced to
cutting each others throat in order to exist. Such
throat-cuting leads TO anarchy and in due time the
man on white horse appears to exploit this misery
and destroy our democratic way Of life. Thus those
who scott az the concept of full employment are toy
ing with the very forces which can do more damage
TO country than Hitler and his gang ever thought
possible

piling high Mrs. Hener Ferris
changed the date OF her luncheon
to the sixth of January.
The luncheon given by Mrs.

a lot about from now on. To begin
