NEGRO HISTORY WEEK

Negro History week is an event
eagerly anticipated by Negroes 1t was
inaugurated February, 1926, by the
eminent historian, Dr. Carter c. Wood
son. the founder and director Of the
Association for the Study of Negro Life
and History.
The Negro has just cause to be proud
of his achievements and especially of a
long and distinguished service in the
Armed Forces Of the United States. To

his country has been engaged is to him
one of his proudest traditions. From
his youth, he is taught at home, in
school, from the pulpit and the lecture
platform of the contributions his people
have made to the cultural life of his ma
tive land and of the exploits of Negroes
in battle on land and on sea.
Until recent years this history has
been sharply limited to- his own ranks.
Through the influence of ever-widen-
ing contacts Of inter-racial commits
sions, particularly the Atlanta Com
mission on Inter-racial Cooperation,
the salient facts of Negro History are
widely publicized in newspapers, maga-
zines, radio dramatizations, essay con-
tests and research sponsored by philan-

The efforts of Miss Madeline R.

TALLY and dispassionately, many stereo-
typed misconcepts have to be revised.
The concept of Negroes being carefree,
happy -go-lucky individuals who are
complacent and easily satisfied with
whatever conditions by which they are
surrounded is erroneous. On the con-
trary, many of the earliest slaves
brought to this country were members
of war-like African tribes. Before they
would allow themselves to remain in
captivity many jumped into the sea.
Many more hid in the Dismal Swamp in
Virginia or in the Everglades of Florida
where soldiers neYec 1Ierti1Radu &c
bloodhounds sent e. IfetG[
Still others likeD Dehmark Vesey and
Nat Turner organized instructions.
Another misconcept is that what
ever progress the Negro made is due
largely to his environment, and that he
brought nothing with him. DR.. Carter
Woodson has shown conclusively that
around the Nile and Niger Rivers the
Negro had built an ancient civilization
of his own, governments that suffer
none by comparison to modern ones,
and which, while an earlier civilization,
was by no means an inferior one.
The Negro in America
The Negro in this country has pro-
duced many inventions. In 1853 Richard
Arkwright invented the first spinning
machine Benjamin Banneker, born in

Has Built Institutions
Muchof the progress the Negrohass
made has been in no small way due to
his ability to organize and to follow
Negro leadership. In Its, Prince Hall,
a naturalized Barbadian Negro with
IA companions, was initiated into Free
Masonry in the British Army Lodge on
General Gates. In 1874, these men ap-
piled to the Grand Lodge Of England
for a warrant which was issued May Q,
1887, to African Lodge No. 459 in Bos-
ton. From this beginning Free Masonry
among Negroes has spread all over the
world and represents one of the earliest
attempts at cooperative effort.

Mine Settlement Forecast

Settlement Of issues between operators and
soft coal miners is predicted for today. The
forecast is made by Ezra Van Horn, leading
operator, and K C. Adams of the UNIV Journal
announces that John L. Lewis, president of
the miners union, shares the Optimistic pro-
phecies."
We can only hope that the prophecy is full
filled and the threat of a strike in the mines
removed. In single week outlaw strikes in
Pennsylvania alone cost the nation more
than a million tons of coal production. This
condition cannot be allowed to continue, lest
the nations war effort be hamstrung. Coal
is an essential war material The mines must
operate at capacity production if the war tools
1t has a share in making are to be forthcom-
Ing in the volume needed for victory.
The only alternative to settlement between
operators and miners is government operation
Of the mines, which failed once and assuredly
would fail again with Secretary Ickes as chief
operator. Better far that miners and opera
tors work out their problems together than
resort to that.

of the cities are in the latter category.
The picture is not frightened, however, by
consideration Of planning agency financies. For
example, budgets for the planning agencies
of cities of $4,000 or more population totaled
only 81, 2o3, 500-and the planning agencies OF
the nations i've largest cities received more
than IS per cent Of the total, averaging $780,
$40. The average dropped to $4,000 when the
eight cities next in population rank were con-
sidered And Sc cities Of more than Is, 600 popu-
lation spent less than s., 900 for planning dur
ing the year, while 70 cities reporting plan
ming agencies spent nothing.

Teeth For WLB

Before resigning as War Mobilizer, James F.
Byrnes asked Congress to give WLB some au-
thority by making its decisions enforceable by
the Federal Courts.
Such a move has been discussed before, and
has met with the criticism that court action
on WLB directives would make for even great
er delay than at present. We don't think it
would under the present proposal to file WLB
decisions with the court and, il they were not
complied with in specified time to invoke
criminal penalties.
But even if some delay did result, it might
be worth it to avoid adding the names Of any
more defiant Petrillos, Lewises and Averys
to our war history, and to end the ridiculous
anomaly Of the War Labor Boards present
position.

Keeping Within Bounds

began polling group Of prominent Americans
to secure their definitions of that flexible
phrase, "un-American activity Now the In
stitution has completed digest of those def
nitions and presented it to the House Commit
tee on Un-American Activities
The definitions may be imperfect or incom-
plete. But we hope that the House committee
will give them careful study and, If they don't
like them, make up a list of their own. The
important thing is that the committee should
at long last define and limit the scope of its
activities
Under Martin Dies's craftsmanship the Com.
nittee on Un-American Activities conducted
some wild-swingng and occasionally ridiculous
witch hunts The present membership can do
much to erase the less proud pages Of the
committees record by focusing its activities

riages of justice which he cites are
fascinating. The basis for error
lay generally in the fact that
judges are or have been inclined
to believe that the person capable
of benefiting by murder, Or in
circumstances where he obviously
might wish it, is guilty.

Cling of a Viennese, with Kath-

innocent later.

The accused officers personality
was unattractive, as even Anatole

off, he was able to act with the
air Of innocence which ~had been
