the police. There is also an outbreak in Paris.
To cap the climax, the papers last week car
ried dispatches from Moscow saying crime was
so rampant in the capital of the Soviet Union
that military police were being used along with
civilian police TO put il down. The Moscow story
was the same that from London, Paris Ber-
lin and New York. 1t was that crime among
boys under 81 was unprecedented and that spe-
cial measures were being considered to cope
with it. j. Edgar Hoover predicted the same
thing that criminals would be under FL years
of age.
Now London, Paris, Berlin and Moscow have
no considerable number Of Negroes. The crimi-
mails there are white. But here in America, par
tculary in New York. the newspapers try
ing desperately TO make this a wave of crime
by Negroes The police department rushed $50

chine guns and tear gas to Harlem and the

in lower and midtown Manhattan all outside
the Negro areas
Our race cannot afford the label of criminals.
We have our share and some of them are pretty
bad But II IS a vicious think for any newspaper
to try to create the impression that all Negroes
are criminals and that they responsible for
this rise in postwar crime.
Crime follows war-all over the world. II is
not peculiar TO the Negro. We want jobs. We
want decent housing. We want education for

us our postwar tasks will be infinitely more
difficult
What is happening in New York will happen
IN every large city IN the country. Our people
must be on the alert to fight vicious, blanket,
racial accusations on crime. Join all forces to
hgh crime, but always fight the racial label.
