Whatever Pegler might say, and however much the lady
from California may speak her shame of her people. the
condition of the Negro press reflects accurately the condi.
ton OF the Negro race in the American scene. You can't
straighten out the press until we straighten out the race
problem. Some of us may grow impatient and disguised,
but nothing will help except sincere hard work on all fronts
Telling the white man how badly off we are won't help.
He knows the score already, and he'll only use our Trades
against ourselves to push us farther into the background.
The Negro press grew before the advent Of Pegler and the

grow despite them.

NEW YORK'S action in outlawine

and ticklish move. Nowhere in the ma

world, is there a greater mixture Of
races, creeds, and colors than in the

national groups and colors have beer
forced into individual fancfal, social

that many Of their members have beer

them for job vacancies.
