Letters, Sc Papers in
Tardy Mail Delivery

Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Brown, 4O5
st. Anthony, received a letter this
week from Pvt. James Coleman,
somewhere in Germany, saying he
had received his Christmas box, the
first week in April, the box having
been sent to him in October, 1914.
In six months Pvt. Coleman said
he had been moved ten times, and
when his mail caught up with him
he received "a letters, and Sc news
papers, among them were his copies
of the st. Paul Recorder. He has
been transferred into special serv:
ice with the Public Relations office

unit with him is Lieut.. Richard

At this particular party where
scotch and soda and those tight
little affairs made of ground saus-
ages, pickles, olives, celery, etc.,
plus big bowls of peanuts, removed
any chance of the visitors thinking
that big-time New Workers don't
have enough to eat, the guest list
was overloaded with those
Negroes who are prominent in the
field of leadership" religion, edu-
cation, politics, and what society
we have.
Even as the guests slowly got
drunk there was much sophistica-
ton about the whole business and
concise English was spoken at all
stages, even though the tongue was
a bit thick and the gait unsteady.
The visitor from the Crescent City
was duly impressed with it all,
especially the part where he shook
hands with this headliner and that
headliner and was more or less ac-
cepted on the basis of complete fell
lowship and friendship by these'
blase New Workers. Then the con-
versation turned to the Negro and
his present and future (as it al
ways does, even among the best of
our people.)
Unfortunately, the Negro, as a
race and as an individual, didn't
fare so well as a conversation piece,
each of the guests, save the New
Orleans physician, taking the gen.
eral viewpoint that the NEGRO
isn't any good" that che isn't
worth doing anything for" etc., etc.
The idea was that the converse
tionalists were Negroes because
birth forced them to be and that if
there were half a chance to be
something else, they would take it,
whether it meant poverty, discon-
tent, or lasting shame or not.
Now all of this sounded COM
pletely foreign to the visitor. He
was bewildered, because he report
ed to me later his impression of
the affair and of those who took
part in it. Mostly, the conversation
was about how this light-skinned
Negro and that one "passed" for
white in this or that part of the
South or at this or that exclusive,
ilywhite night club or restaurant.
There were loud outlaws at the
embarrassment of whites who
found that this white Negro" had

stored only when he began sharing it with
others. The financial report of the drive

He was retired employee of the

there for 80 years.
Funeral services were held Tues

succeeded in putting one over on
the white folks and wasn't discov-
cred until his blacker brother or
sister put in an unexpected ap-
pearance.
Then the discussion changed and
somebody started talking about
Negroes in business.
"I'm frankly afraid of Negro
grocery stores" said one woman,
adjusting her pince-nez. "They
have to buy from the white grocery
next door and nine times out of
ten the merchandise isn't what you
could get for the same price as
from the white place."
Darling, you are right" put in
another woman, placing her
whiskey glass on a coaster. 81 do
all my buying downtown. Mr.
business is all right in its place, but
not when Pm spending my money"
The visitor asked a sober-look-
ing, smartly dressed woman who
had been introduced to him as an
executive of one of the big national
race rights organizations, what she
thought about Negroes going into
business. He was shocked at her
reply.
GAS long as they are in such
businesses as barbering, beauty
parlors, lunch counters, taverns,
and smoke shops, they are all
right" she said. 81 don't believe
the Negro has advanced enough in
economic ability to venture into big
business. I think Negroes should
invest their money in big white
utilities that will give US some
measure of control of the things
that are standard. Negro insur-
ances are all right, but the big
white concerns are more sound and
stable" The New Orleanian want
ed to know how much of Metro
politan Life Negroes controlled
through their tremendous invest
ments through policies. ooh, that
is an exception. I think Negroes
should seek greater opportunities
in inter-racial relationships. That
today is more important than lot
of two-bit grocery stores and half
run bakeries, and so on. This is a
modern age. We must get away
from the notion that we can build
race within a race here in Ameri-
ca. The Negro is American. He
