cotton, in our agricultural economy.
Negro farm families have never
been able to enjoy even minimum
standards Of education, housing,
health, or nutrition. The mechan-
ical cotton picker and the flame
blocker will soon bring a major
economic and social crisis to the
South and all Of America. Again,
as always in the past, Negroes will
probably be the citizens who will
suffer most,
1t is the responsibility Of the
American people to aid the share
troopers, tenants, and small farm
owners Of the South, a very large
percentage of whom are Negroes, in
the reimbursement which they will be
forced to make with the mechani-
cation and chronological develop
ments in cotton. All Of us must see
that the small farmer, Negro and
white in the South, has an oppOr-
tunity to become vocal in govern
mental matters. We must repeal
the poll tax. We must make it
possible for small farmers to or

Gospel Singers Take Port
In Jewish Passover
Services at Synagogue

The "old-fashioned" Gospel sing
ers were the guest singers at a
Passover service at the Israel syna-
gogue at oath and Emerson, Sum-
day April IA, IL o'clock.
The Gospel singers sang three
numbers and participated in the
beautiful services, which included
slipping from the cup of wine, a
symbol of joy, and the breaking
Of Matsah, which was broken in the
middle and one part hidden, to be
eaten at the end of the meal as the
Abdomen, in remembrance of the
time when the Jewish ancestors, on
Pesah night in the days of the
Temple of old, would partake of the
Paschal lamb.
The wine and the Matsah were
drunk and eaten between songs and
responsive readings by Rabbi Jacob
J. Weinstein and the audience. The
meeting closed with the singing Of
the National Anthem.
This is believed to be the first
time a protestant group has par
ticipated in the Passover services
of the Jewish people, in this city.
The Gospel choir is directed by
B. L. Grear.

social pressures being used TO pre-
vent action from being taken in
their own best interests.
New farming opportunities in the
Middle West and in newly irTi-
gated areas, must be provided for
Negro farmers Of the South. An
equality Of opportunity in industry
must be guaranteed. The repeal Of
the poll tax, the passage Of a Per
manent Fair Employment Practices
Act, and the elimination Of re-
stricted covenant real estate ordi-
nances, are minimum necessities for
economic and social freedom. Re
strictive property ownership laws
such as have been unfairly enacted
in California against the japanese
and other natiOnalities, must not
be applied to the Negro farmer
seeking new opportunities.
All Of US must work to see that
full employment is maintained, that
every man who is able to work and
wants TO work has a job with suf-
ficient income to buy a high stan
dard Of living. The best single
guarantee against unfair discrimi-
nation in all lines and for equal
opportunity is to have full EN-
ployment for everyone. II this can
be brought about, the adjustments
caused by chronological advances
in agriculture will be made easier
not only for the Negro farmer,
but for all farmers in the lower
income brackets.
II we are to be the great example
for democracy in the world, we
must begin to put democracy into
practice in full hedged form here
at home, by providing equality of
to all, regardless of
race or creed, in all things, eco
nOmic, social and political.
