The Future Is Yours

 money gave out and I had to leave school for two and a half years. I worked at all kinds of jobs, mainly a sdraftsman in architectural offices until I had enough money to finish study ing for my degree.
 Being an expert draftsman is an invaluable asset to an archi- tect-even if his ultimate dream is that of pure creativeness in building MT Wilson s first jobs on finishing Columbia were taken with a view to perfecting his ability as a draftsman. He worked with the City of New York as junior and then senior draftsman-using his free hours to plan and sell his own archi- tectural ideas. In few years, he opened his own office. His reputation as a versatile archi- tect grew. His jobs have rang ed from associate architect for the New York City Harlem Riv- CT houses, the designing and building of a countryhouse for wealthy New York manufac- turer, to the alteration and the modernization of a 9O-year old Greek revival house in upstate New York, and renovations of numbers of New York commer- cial houses, churches, theatres and apartments.
 Remembering his own dream at fourteen and the difficulty young Negro architects have in getting apprenticeship training, MT. Wilson s eye is always alert for the chance to help ambitious young men. He has nurtured several as apprentices in his office. They have, through his contacts, gone into other posi- tiOnS--SOme with white firms, others to municipal or federal posts

groes from 1787 to 1914; the legal status of Americans of Negro descent since World War I; the present legal and social status of the American Negro; patterns of social dis crimination against Negroes and a review of the charter of the LIN and its provisions for human rights and the rights and the rights of minorities and decisions already taken under this charter.
 In that section of the state ment which deals with the pres ent legal and social status of the American Negro, William R. Ming, Jr., examines in de tail "the appalling contrast be- tween the breadth Of the rights which are guaranteed by law to every person and those few which Negroes, generally, are permitted to enjoy ... when the political and social institu- tions of their country fail miser- ably to protect their lives, hber- ties or property" His dis cussion emphasizes the paradox between "The American Creed, as set forth in the Declaration of Independence, in the Con- stitution and the statement of the -Four Freedoms all of which authorize no distinctions based on race, color or previous condition of servitude, and the actual condition of Negroes who are discriminated against legally in the various states of the country solely on the basis of race.
 Dr. Rayford Logan wrote the last chapter, on the LIN Charter.

 JOHN L. WILSON, Architect
 New York City was an anx ious host when the United Ma tions moved in: neither its hous ing situation nor the disposition of some of its citizens were ex. actIy beaming in welcome to its peace guests. But the City was determined in it's efforts to of fer LIN its best, selected the "World of Tomorrow" Build ing in Flushing Meadow Park and graciously lent it's archi tect,, John l.. Wilson, to coor- dinaet the work of the private firms who won the rebuilding bid.
 This special assignment was only one of several MT. Wilson has in the course of his work as architect with New York City < Department of Parks. Another which recent visitors to New York will remember, Is the new. ly completed Harlem Nicer at the 10th end of Central Park. The work, started by the WPAwas taken over by the city and completion and design o1 both the building and the lake fell to MT. Wilson Another oi his assignments is the Wander bilt Gates and fence marking the beautiful, formal Conserva tory Gardens entrance at 1O4tl and 105th streets on 9th Avenue The buildings and gardens o1 the Bronz Zoo CHThe Creates Zoo in the World'') and Bron1 Bontanical Gardens are his spe cial charges.
 John |. Wilson was fOurteel years old, living in Birmingham Alabama, when he decided te become an architect.

there shall be respect" for hu- man rights and for fundamental freedoms for all, without dis tinction as to race, sex, reli zion or language the NAACP, on February 21st, presented to the Human Rights Commission of the United Nations statement on the denial of human rights to minorities in the case of citi- zens of Negro descent in the United States and appealed to the United Nations for redress.
 Dr. w. E. B. Dubois, in the introduction, states that "There are in the United States of Am erica, fifteen millions of native born citizens, something less than a tenth of the nation, who form largely segregated caste, with restricted legal rights, and many illegal disabilities :" and charges that the effect of this has repeatedly led the greatest modern attempt at democratic government to deny it's political ideals, to falsify its philanthropic assertions and to make it's religion to great ex- tent hypocritical. "
 Tracing the history of the Ne gro in the United States, and the economic and social back ground of his present disfran- chised state, Dr. Dubois assert ed that "there remains today a block of one hundred and thir- ty-four electoral votes and cor responding votes in Congress which could not be subjected to democratic control or changed in accord with methods, making Hparty government ineffec- tive.' The federal government has been made, therefore, a gov ernment which continually casts it's influence with imperial aggression throughout the world and withdraws it's sympa- thy from the colored peoples and from the small nations.
 In conclusion, Dr. Dubois states, "We have a recrude- scence of race hate and caste restrictions in the United States and of these dangerous tenden- cies not simply for the United States itself but for all nations We appeal, then, to the United Nations to step to the very edge of their authority in protecting this minority of citi- zens in the United States, in order that the world may be at peace.

day many individuals who desire
something for themselves or for
a particular group first endeavor
to obtain it through Washington
rather than through their own
initiative. Formerly, only as a
last resort, did u people take
their problems to the Federal Gov
eminent. Subsidies given to any
individual or group cause a shift
of some control to men and bu-
reaus in the Federal Government.
This control is unhealthy for our
country.
Handing over much of the
country's cash to support certain
groups is not democratic and is
financially dangerous. The United
States spent $50, OO0, 900 in price
supports to the farmers on po-
tatoes alone in 1916. More and
more farm products are asking
for price supports. Farmers will
probably be paid we'll over $780,
600, 900 for cutting down produc-
ton this year. The program for
export subsidies means the Gov
eminent sells farm products over
seas at a loss, after buying them
here at high prices with the tax
payers money. On-job training
for veterans is to result in a
billion dollar subsidy to business
men,.
