kept from becoming insoluble.
Progress can be made. progress

"To hundreds of thousands of
Negroes the work of the League
and its friends means just that
little better chance for decent
opportunity which can make all
the difference in a mans life.
"To hundreds of American cities
and towns the work of the Urban
Leabue means just that little
smaller chance of bitterness and
resentment which can poison the
spirit and the prosperity -
of your city and town.
Il support the Urban League
also because we as nation have
an immense amount of work to
do.
There is no immediate problem
for America which cannot be solv-
ed by work. But without work
- hard work none of our prob
lens will or can be solved. A
working America will provide the
means to save ourselves and the
world from economic ruin and
war. A lazy America or an Am
erica which closes the door to
any mans honest labor will invite
disaster for America and the
world.
''In this situation-quite simple
yet profoundly critical-it is i'm
perative that every Negro be given
a wide open chance to work to
the fullest of his capacity. In this
situation it is imperative that
every Negro and every white man
should put his most earnest effort
into whatever job he has.
THE detectives of the Urban
League are the detectives of Am
erican democracy. The methods OF
this organization are wholly con-
sistent with the spirit of demo
cratic and cooperative living be-
tween American citizens of any

Conservation Vital.
We must never forget that the
conservation of our natural resources
and their wise use are essential I'd
our very existence as a Nation. The
choice is ours. We can sit idly by
or almost as bad, resort to the false
economy of feeble and inadequate
measures-while these precious as
sets waste away. On the other hand
we can, if we act in time, put into
effect a realistic and practical plan
which will preserve these basic es-
sentials Of our national economy
and make this better and richer
land.
In the development Of our river
valleys, first things must come first.
The most pressing problem is that
of flood control. 1t is a problem Of
desperate urgency. What we need
to do is to take immediate advan-
tage of the Mississippi basin author
misunderstanding almost S6,000,-
600, ,O00--which the Congress has al
ready voted for flood control and
related purposes. OF this amount,
from $500, 200, 900 to $4,000, ,000, 900
is either directly or closely related
to flood control. Let us through the
next 10 years accelerate our program
and put this money to, work, to-
gether with such additional moneys
as may be required and as our econ
omy from year to year shall permit.
In that way we shall save ourselves
untold billions and pave the way
for the wealth production, that
surely will flood from the integrated
development of our valleys.

'GM Will Shut Down
Auto Plants for Week;
Steel Shortage Blamed
BY The Associated Press

DETROIT, July 15.-General
Motors Corp. will take a week of
from manufacturing passenger cars
starting Monday, because of the

GIN, which makes roughly half OF
the Nations automobiles, said Its
steel supplies were too short to
permit full-time operations. 1t
blamed the coal mining situation
Of early July.
Ultimately 10000 workers will be
laid off from the corporations as

The corporation, which employs
265 900 production workers, recently
reached a weekly output OF 10000
cars.
Michigan Plants Close First.
There were no immediate indica-
tions. however, that other major
manufacturers OF motorcars would
follow suit.
GINS president, C. E. Wilson, an
nounced the shutdown plans last
night.
Plants in Michigan, employing
lis 900 workers, will be closed first,
and another IS 1000 will be laid off as
other plants become affected
through lack of supplies from feeder
plants in Michigan.

in the steel industry, caused by the
coalmining situation during the first
two weeks of july" he said, "deliv-
