veterans, 1925, 946, or SO per cent
have their homes either in the 10
Southern states or the big urban
eenters Of the North, a great mi
grafton is under way from the
South to the North and West.
According to "our Negro Veter-
ans" approximately one out Of
every ten Negro veterans, or some
$4,000, have already left the South.
The main reasons given for such
an extensive migration are lack Of,
jobs that pay over $50 weekly, lack
Of sense of belonging" to South
ern communities, lack Of schools
and training facilities, lack Of rec
reational facilities, lack Of housing.
Also promise of greater oppor-
tunity in the North and West Of
new industrial development in the
West, Of greater equality" in the
North.
Although theoretically veteran
laws give blanket benefits to veter-
ans, in practice administration Of
these laws works in strange and
unaccountable ways. In the South,
for example, virtually the only
Veterans Administration offices
which are properly manned to han
die Negro veterans are branch Of
fees at Negro colleges. OF these
there are, on the average, one or
two in each state. Negro veterans
cannot, Of course, be expected to
travel fifty, a hundred, or even two
hundred miles to go to a Veterans
Administration office. -.
Thus do we stand as a shining
example Of democracy at work, be-
fore a watching world. And thus
do Roosevelt's dreams, to which we
shall be paying lip-service these
coming days. remain unfulfilled.
HANCOCK SAYS AVERAGE
NEGRO LACKS MANNERS
The average Negro lacks public
manners and behavior. Negroes are
still too loud and boisterous in
public. OF course, we all know
why but this does not correct the
evil. Most of us in travelling
around do not go very far before
we are embarrassed by the public
behavior of some Of our group.
But we are never embarrassed
enough to try to help them to bet
ter behavior. We only withdraw
from such people and criticise them
among ourselves. Gordon Han

In the N. Y. Post

Nothing could commemorate the
anniversary Of Franklin Roosevelt's
death more fttingly than for this
country to resolve TO make democ-
racy work from this moment on.
Publication Of the new Public
Affairs Pamphlet, "Our Negro
Veterans" by Charles Bolte and
Louis Harris, is well timed q.
1t serves as a stark reminder Of
Roosevelt's dreams, and Of the I'M
finished business Of the last war
for democracy.
Individuals Of all races stood
side by side to fight during the war.
Yet Negro veterans are already
victims Of old habits Of discrimina-
ton.
Only 21 per cent Of the new vet
erans' housing being built in eight
Southern states has been allotted
to Negro veterans, although one
third Of the veteran population is
Negro. :.
For the first half Of 1916, un-
employment ran II per cent higher
among former Negro servicemen
than it did among white veterans.
OF 100000 Negro veterans who
are eligible to attend college under
the CT Bill Of Rights only 10000
have been able to obtain admit
lance. E. Another Of $4,000 have
applied, but were unable to find a
college or university which had
room for them. lit is estimated
that II there were space, another
$4,000 would have applied for high
err education.) Upward Of 10 per
cent Of the Negro veterans who
have succeeded in enrolling in col
leges are attending all-Negro in
situations.
Bolte and Harris point out that
segregated Negro colleges are
neither well enough equipped nor
numerous enough to meet the de-
mands Of Negro veterans. A sur
vey Of 81 Of the leading Negro
colleges, with a total veteran en-
rollment Of 11,043, showed that IS
per cent Of all veteran applicants
had to be turned away because
Of lack Of space.
We can't assume that the Negro
veteran problem is a Southern"
problem either

hearings on S-199 and S-472, bills
to provide federal aid to elementary
and secondary schools.
Pointing to the difference in
school expenditures among the
states, the NAACP officer said;
'The federal government must
take immediate steps to assure that
. child will not begin life with the
severe handicap Of a second-class
system Of public schools simply by
the sheer accident Of having been
born In a Southern state or rural
area. The broad gap which cur
rently obtains between the educa-
tional opportunities among and
within the states will be success
fully bridged only when the federal
government itself provides substan-
tial financial assistance to the more
impoverished states"
Perry told the Committee that
educational conditions in the
South for Negro children and
teachers were ''intOlerable." He
said that Mississippi expends
"499 per cent" more on a white
child than on n Negro one. II
spends only Sll.S6 on q eOlOred
child as compared with $7l.65
on q white boy or girl
He said school expenditures are
but one index to the plight Of the
Negro pupil in the South. "In gen.
eral appearance the school struc-
lures assigned to Negro children,
especially in the small towns and
rural districts in the deep south,
are dilapidated one and two-teacher
frame shacks," the statement said.
Also school terms for Negros are
shorter and they receive only 8
per cent Of expenditures for free
school bus transportation.
Attention Of Congress was also
called to the fact that Negro
teachers are the victims Of huge
salary gouEes. Mississippi. II was
pointed out, paid white teachers
an average Of SI,1O7 a year as
compared with S342 for Negro
teachers, ''in spite Of the fact
that Negro teachers usually have

ers licenses"
Perry declared that most South
ern states have shown a settled de-
termination to distribute funds in |
an unequal manner" and urged that |
every possible preeaution be taken
against this where federal funds |
are involved.
The NAACP proposed an amend
ment to the bill which would require
the United States Commissioner Of
Education TO audit state expendi-
lures and that such audits "at all
times be available for public inspec-
tion." The amendment also provided
that II "Rny person shall complain to
