Britain has to move her M1ddle
East Command from Egypt-mov-
ing it into Palestine. The activl-
ties of the Stern and Irgun give
the fiction for bringing in the
British army; the house searches
to soldify their position. Its the
battle for oil between Britain and
Russia. She paid tribute to Ha-
ganah.
It was an anomoly that more
than $4,000 Palestinian Jews out
of a population of 100000 served
in the British Army. Out OF a
million and a quarter Arabs, 5000
served. The proportion of Jews
in Palestine was greater than the
proportion of British in their own
country who served. She told of
the many instances of discrimina-
ton by the Government in favor
of the Arab, tho 300 Of the
Government is supported by Jews.
She was impressed with the
zeal and driving force of the
young people to build a home
land, their infinite patience with
the soil. They came from every
where with every kind of back
ground, but all motivated by the
same driving force. The tragedy
is the number of youth who want
to go there. She ended by saying
that we in America, were the only
people in the world who could
save them.

Harry Bee presented an excel
1ently balanced group of harmon

tically received.
Commenting on Mrs. Sharp's
talk, Miss Margaret Knight said,
"The thing that impressed me
most of all was that Mrs. Sharp
spoke from the stand point OF the
human race, and not of one race.
It seemed a world outlook, not a
race outlook. Though she was
speaking primarily of Hadassah,
her approach was not just because
it was a Jewish problem, but be-
cause it was human problem.

Arkansas High School Press
Association (white), Boys
State (white). Girls State
(white), the last two sponsored
by the American Legion, have
figured in the white press re-
Gently Negroes are definitely
excluded from these organiza-
tions. of course, just as they
are excluded from the Ameri-
can Legion itself in this state
and from the white high schools
The general trend of opinion
OF Negroes Is that these and
similar organizations perpetuate
white ignorance of Negro boys
and girls and insure the surviv
al of race distinctions and dis
ordinations. Whether or not 1t
does this by malice or by DELHI
crate intent, there Is no ques-
ton about the incidental train
ing. the consequent habituation,
and the end-product of preju-
dice against the Negro and
elimination of him from any
share of public life, service, or
benefit.
The white race which actual
ly holds the superior position
in the nation and postulates for
itself superior native ability
should assume in reality the oh.
legation which its theories Of
superiority and its position Of
power Involve,

Such a park will be bound to in

elimination In Illinois where lii
tie discrimination of that sort
now exists. Moreover, the pro
ject Is bound to be unsuccess-
full financially because Negroes
of Illinois do not want NE

pose of this project Is to raise
funds for pensions, but If $500

will probably take 800 600 years
to get 1t back much less make

II Reverend Mann, the local

church, will now have the Wis.

for citizenship training should
feel duty to sponsor similar
movements among the Negro
youth whom they have placed
in inferior plants, with over
crowded conditions, and teach
ers without full local opportuni
~ for training - in-serviee or
out.
But if the failure of white
leaders to do their duty is un-
ethical, the failure of Negro
leaders and teachers tends to
racial suicide. A Bronze Boys
State and Girls State should
certainly be organized in the
absence of any other possibili-
ty, and a Negro High School
and College Press Association
started. Even present folkways
and more will not stand in the
way of limited cooperation
between the white and col
ored organizations through
carefully constructed commit
tees. That Is minimum pro-
gram for racial advancement
There has been from 1865 to
the present a continuous broad
ening Of the attitude of the best
thinkers among the whites. and
We must prepare ourselves to be
ready for any advancement Of
fered us. A Negro trained IN
school for the correct practice
of government and writing, will

The fact that lynching still

Here And There
Continued from page one

Probably the smallest town In the
country with Negro police is
Summerton, S. c., community
of about 1000 persons. 1t has 2
Negro policemen who, with Po-
lice Chief Travis Davis. a white
man, constitutes the entire force.
The two Negro policemen serve
only on Saturdays from sun up to
midnight. They wear regulation
police uniforms, carry clubs and
guns. Occasionally they are cal
led to duty on holidays or spec
ial occasions when large crowds
come to town from the country.
However, they are authorized to
make arrests at any time. Accord
ing to Chief Davis, the employ
ment of the Negro officers for
the Negro areas has just about
eliminated cutting and fighting
scrapes on Saturday nights. He
says the Negro officers better
understand the members of their
own race and receive more CO.
operation. This is true, for too
many times the white officers
are mean, brutal and are men
who hated Negroes before they
started carrying guns.
