Freshmen in Congress are sup
posed TO keep their eyes peeled and
their mouths shut. According to
tradition they leave the talking to
the old boys who have learned what
il is all about.
More often than in the past, an
occasional new man speaks out
whether he has finished his no
vitiate or not. Consider Nevada s
Sen. Edward p. CalVille who. al
though new to Congress. is inclined
to have something to say about
economy.
Ed Carville clingS to the Old
fashioned belief that Government
should operate on Il pay-as-you-go
basis in other words, keep out 0i
debt. He feels that the nation
should balance its budget These
beliefs. he says. stem from his
early training.
Economy Record
He is proud of the fact that dur
ing his two terms as Governor of
Nevada his record stood for econ
Omy. He set up economic confer
ence groups in every municipality
TO enable the people to work out
their destinies on an individual and

them TO reap an increasingly richer
harvest Of Independence and self
respect. Today, with the emphasis
on urbanity and culture, there are
many who would disclaim his dis
tinction as the greatest Negro edu-
Gator in history.
Whatever your opinion Of Booker
!. Washington, you cannot dis
agree with the truth Of his philos0-
ply that 1t is the duty Of every
man TO learn 10 be better than
he Is. There are too many Of US
who are tempeTamentally and
physically unsuited for the vigorous
life In the land, and yet, most Of
US who elect to live the life in the
big cities are proving daily that
we are tempeTamentally and physi-
cally unsuited for the problems we
must face.
BY the standards with which we
measure, city life Is the highest
form Of existence, yet the lowest
evidences Of human behaviour come
from the cities. Admittedly the
conveniences that make living seem
comparatively like a sOjourn In
Paradise, abound In the cities, but
then the most horrible examples Of
our concealed baTbaric tendencies
also show up greatest In the cities.
Perhaps, at the expense Of over
simpliRcatiOn, IL can be said that
the greatest single difference be-
tween the citifed and non-citihed
areas In that in the cities, more
people crowd together In less space
than il the case In strictly rural
areas.
What Booker r. Washington
taught had its limitations. 1t pre-
supposed race Of people who
would have to work their way up
from the bottom, and he sought to
prepare them TO provide for them
selves the things they would i'm
mediately need. For time he was
successful in proving that there Is
dignity In hard work, and Negro
farmers sought eagerly to learn
the tricks and the skills that would
give them a greater yield.
As other generations came OF
the scene, the influence Of Booker
T. Washington was lost as the urge
to get away from 1t all seiEeC

the communities in which they lived
didn't give a damn whether they
could read or write their own
names, they felt that they didn't
have any responsibility in the mat
ter either. As a consequence, many
Of them came 10 the big cities Of
the north with no better equipment
than a Rrudge against white folks,
and determination TO get by with
out struggling too hard in the
process.
II would probably be well TO
state here that there Is place in
the big cities for all types Of peo-
pie, and that the poor and the
damned are in most Of them in
abundance. II Is true that q man
can find his niche with no higher
ability than that Of a boOtblack, a
porter or "a fiunky, but 1t Is also
true that there is a place for men
who are lawyers and doctors, radio
mechanics, writers, teachers and
gardeners. II does appear that there
Is more dignity and profit in the
latter category.
Some Of the people who make II
"A practice TO study such things feel
that the incidence Of juvenile de-
linquency in some of our larger
cities is due to the neglect Of edu-
cation for Negro youth. They point
out that because Negro youth do
not have educational advantages in
the south, they are unprepared for
and are frustrated by life in the
city. Domestic Relations Court
Justice, Hubert T. Delany used the
figures gathered in nine southern
states TO point out recently that
the educational expenditures for
the education Of IA white child is
2l2 per cent greater than those
made for Negro children.
This disparity, Justice Delany
said, "rObs not only the Negro child
but the whole country" II would
seem then, that when the forces
Of prejudice and greed In the south
are inviting illiteracy and low edu-
cational standards for Negroes
they are undermining the very
foundation Of the nation which they
profess TO love.
How much the Negroes in the
south can do TO help themselves
Ii questionable, the south being
what it is, but there Is certainly
something. However much we dis
like criticism, we must admit thai
II Is getting u little sickening u

many cases, the youth have CONT

opment Of communities.
All Of Minneapolis would be bet
ter off, he said. II every Negro boy
and girl could graduate from high
school. More magazines would be
sold, more books, more refrigera-
tors, and the total standard Of the
Negro community would be raised.
What is true with reference to q
segment Of the community is also
true in reference TO the community
at large. II we would progress in
the development of our democratic
institutions or in the establishment
Of economic freedom, the level Of
