Restrictive Covenant Excuse Exposed

Restrictive received positive setback in Los Angeles
when Superior Court Judge Roben against
prohibiting Benny Carter Negro band leader living

The of extensive section in asking for the
Injunction stated that the influx Negroes
would deprecae property values.
Judge Schmidt differently however He stated that since
Negroes paid for the houses district
ons the property values would increase decrease
The whole justification for covenants its
vocates has been strictly protection It
that these white supems dislike Negroes want
to maintain their property values
The strange part of it, is that Negroes admitted to new

instead OF depecag property the coming Negroes

Perhaps this Negroes deprece philosophy

racial groups. The native Haitian
has a better place in international
affairs than the American Negro.
They all have racial stature due to
the fact that they have a father
land. The article published in the
AMSTERDAM NEWS described
how the Indians considered most
Acknowledgements as coolies, and
as you know, a coolie is on the low
est rung of the Indian society. It
matters not whether the white man
spread that propaganda, the fact
is that the Indian regards the Ne
gro as such mainly because he can
not compete with the Liberian who
has consulates in many large Euro
pean countries as well as in Ameri-
ca. The American-Negro is not
represented at all on the interna-
tional scene because he is part and
parcel of America, which
whether we like it or not, is fun
damentally white.
There has been a conflict over
the years among the Negro leader
ship on whether the American
Negro will profit most by accept
ing some or lot of segregation in
establishing his identity from in
tense nationalism as advocated by
Marcus Garvey and others fighting
his battle or to make America, the
land of his birth, accept him as
free and equal citizen based on his
kinship with the land. All around
US are examples of whites main
tanning their nationalistic connec-
ton through the hyphenation of
their names. The Negro leadership
of today persists in following
blindly the pattern that out of the
weller of conflicting views and
viewpoints having to do with the
rights by law theory, eventually
the Negro will be accepted.
It would appear that in our pres
ent state, where we are outcasts
from every organized phase of
American society, that we will
have to accept some amount of
self-determination and nationalism
to achieve any sort of status that
will alleviate our condition. It is
disheartening to say the least for
the thousands of Negro graduates
from universities, colleges, and
high schools each year to find out
that the things they have been
taught in school are false in so far
as they, themselves, are concerned.
The competent young Negro girl
who has a degree in, say, design
ing or business administration
finds it something of a blow when
she is turned down right and left
solely because she is colored. She
is turned down, please note, not
because she is American, but be-
cause she belongs to a minority

Save Our Forests
From DespOliatiOn

Editor: If the policy of the Con-
servation Department had always
prevailed, there would be no Supe-
rior National Forest.
Many of US, and we believe that
we bespeak for the great majority
of Minnesota citizens, wish to have
this area preserved as a wilder
ness. We have opposed sacking it
as being unjust and foolhardy. We
have pointed out time after time
that logging, opening up the area
to hunting, as the Department
urges and condones. and the build
ing of resorts, will mean more
roads, more airplane travel, thence
fires and finally the end of the
wilderness.
There is only one way it can be
preserved and that is through the
program outlined in the Shipstead-
Nolan Act which demands that all
of the lands in the area designated
by Congress be under the control
of one governmental agency. These
lands must be publicly owned-the
State cannot buy them; the United
States can buy them!
IF we want more than a skeleton
of virgin timber, some token of
magnifcence of nature, we need to
make possible the complete federal
acquisition of lands in the Superior
National Forest wilderness area.
When Commissioner Chester Will
son and Forestry Director Weber
seek to block this program, they
are joining hands with those
