NAACP President
Liked Timely Editorial
Of Nov. 2 Issue

Editor: Please accept my sincere
thanks for your timely editorial of
November 2, 1915, in regards to the
present White Slave Scandal caused
by suspected murder by a Negro
of the underworld.
This case was called to my at
tention by several persons, saying
the NAACP should take some &C
ton in regards to the publicity fos-
tered upon the Negroes of Mime
apolis and the harm that it would
bring. Well, when I received the
Spokesman on Saturday and read
your article, 1 was very well
pleased, as my answer to these per-
sons were contained therein.
1 only hope that this article will
be read by all interested persons,
which l am sure will stop the I'M
necessary calls for action by the
various organizations from individ-
uals.

BOOK REVIEW
'sBLACK METROPOLIS"


By Horace CaytOn and st. Clair
Drake; HarcOurt, Brace and Com
pany; New York City, 1915; $500.
"Black Metropolis" is a case
study of Chicago, of that city
within a city'-a narrow tongue of
land, seven miles in length and
one and one-half miles in width,
where more than 100000 Negroes
are packed solidly-in the heart
of Midwest Metropolis. Although
it is a detailed study (782 pp.) of
all aspects of life for Negroes
in the second largest city in this
country, it's authors have succeeded
not only in making it an interest
ing study, but in showing how i'm
portant what happens in Chicago
is to the country and to the world.
Richard Wright's Introduction,
unlike the usual disinterested ones,
skillfully presents the state of Ne
gro-white affairs in the United
States today. He makes the point
that both Negroes and whites shy
away from the truth.
american whites and blacks
both possess deep-seated resist
ances against the Negro problems
being presented, even verbally, in
all of its hideOus fullness, in all of
the tOtality of its meaning. The
many and various groups, commits
siOns, councils, leagues, commit
tees and organizations of an inter
racial nature have consistently di-
luted the problem, blurred it, in
jected fOggy moral or sentimental
notions into it. This fact is as true
of the churches as of the trade I'M
ions; as true of Negro Organiza-

For the future the authors be-

Metropolis is more or less depend
ent on what happens in the rest
of the world:
"The problems that arise on
BrOnzeville's FOrty-seventh street
encircle the globe. A blow
struck for freedom in Bonneville
finds its echo in Chungking and
Moscow, in Paris and Senegal. A
victory for Fascism in Midwest

doom for the common man every

Right; as true of white individuals

POLICY A CULT
The authors trace all aspects of
Negro life from playing policy to
legitimate business, from intermar-
riage to class structure among Ne
groes, the power of press and pull
pit, unions, etc. Of policy they
write: &C. policy is not only a
business-it is also a cult. It has
a hold on it's devotees which is
stronger than the concrete gains
from an occasional winning would
warrant. 1t has an element of mys-
terry and anticipation. 1t has devel-
oped an esoteric language. 1t or
ganizes, to some extent, the daily
lives of its participants. :"
Much of the material for "Black
Metropolis" is the result of a series
of projects financed by the Works
Projects Administration under the
direction of Mr.. Cayton and DIR.
Lloyd Warner of the University of
Chicago. In their book, however,
Messrs. Drake and Cayton have
woven this material in with other
research and have interpreted it
from their broad knowledge of the
Negro question. That is one of the
chief merits of "Black Metropolis"
that it presents not only facts
but an explanation and interpreta-
ton of them. To read it is to recog-
nize fully the true state of Negro
white relations in urban centers of
the North as regards the Negro.
SEGREGATION
In concluding the authors state:
"While all responsible Negroes
try to prevent violent conflict, their

Our respect for the young
soldiers, white and Negro, has in
creased as they come back to
civilian pursuits. Many of the Ne
gro lads, and some of the white
boys with whom this paper has had
contact before the war, drop in on
us daily to chat. With considerable
prodding, we are able to get some
of the story of their lives on the
far-fung battlefronts and ports.
The Negro lads are usually those
who have been receiving the paper
while in camp or overseas, and most
of them come looking for a verbal
picture of what the community
holds for them. We try to be opti-
mistic but probably make a poor
job of it. We usually end up by
suggesting that they Immediately
get back into the life of the COM
munity, join some veterans organ
ization and if possible, take adj
vantage of the opportunity for addi-
tional education if they are young
enough or so inclined. It's a rather
difficult task to tell them, but we
are frank in admitting to them that
the folks they left behind have done
very little to insure them much new
opportunity. We say to them that
just as they fought the war, they
will probably have to fight the
battle of the home front against
discrimination in employment, hous-
ing and the dozen other ills which
plague the American Negro. We
try to leave each of the fellows and
girls feeling that we are confident
that they will be able to overcome
all of these things by persever-
ance, courage and fortitude. We
believe this to be so.
The returned white soldiers or
sailors who drop in to say hello or
whom we meet in printing shop or
on the street, are usually alert, in
telligent men whom we have come
in contact with during our years in
this field. Some of them we met
originally at meetings where we
were on programs, others at con-
ventions, police courts, churches,
schools and in various places. Most
of them were youths who, before
the war, had expressed interest, and
often sympathy with the problems

Returning Soldiers. Block and White

facing the American Negro.
Most of them have changed, but
only three of them have admitted
that what they saw of the South
and the Negro while in the south
ern army camps had changed their
views on the whole question of the
Negroes place in America. Each
of the three in varying degrees,
said that maybe the South's hand
ling of the race question was the
only way after all.
The Caucasian boys who indicated
no change "for the worse" were,
almost without exception, stronger
in their friendship for the rights
of Americas largest racial minority
to full integration into American
life. Practically all of this group
had suffered many attacks from the
southerners in their outfits because
of their yankee" ideas. Some of
these boys were manhandled by
southern civilian police for showing
friendliness towards Negro fellow
soldiers. Others told about ex-
periences they had with Jim Crow
trains and buses in the South. One
sergeant told how hard it was to
get to know an individual Negro
soldier in the camps in America,
but said it was some different over
seas.
Sometimes we think we really
can't afford to spend the time we
must use talking to these men, but
then when we think of the suffer-
ing some of them have undergone
to save our collective carcasses we
are ashamed, and resolve there is
nothing too good for them. We,
and all others, who remained back
home, ought to work with them day
and night to see that they win the
war back here on the home front.
Embarrassment to the U. S.
abroad during the war perhaps
halted lynchings in America while
World War II was going on. Now,
that the conflict is officially over,
mob murders are beginning to crop
up. These crimes will never be
halted until the Federal govern
ment authorized by law takes a
hand.
