We ore utterly unable TO fothom the wisdom of this

The majority of white people in Mississippi are will

essentials of good school We firmly believe thor If
would be most difficult to find ony white person who
will openly and vigorously oppose negro educational pro-
gress IN Mississippi The operation of thousands of fine
and christian hearted white people within our reach
The negro the other hond feels that he knows
his white friends we'll enough that he sofe with them
and they feel perfectly sofe wit US When all is con-

The part which has the Negro puzzled beyond com

and discrimination" question into on educational pro-
9rom. no plea for decent schools and better education
al FACILITIES hos any Mississippi Negro been quoted osk
ing for social equality In view of the foc that he asked
for better educational facilities which he riqhtIv de-
serves and which thousands of white friends in the stote

waters for political expendency at the espense of
minority group that hos given great American

pIness requesting him TO take out of something that

impression that his white friends apparently more
worried about segregation" and discrimination" thon

The Negro will arise from his peaceful rest on TO-
morrow morning and still osk for better schools and all
thnt goes to make better school, He feels that he
should no longer be asked to pay toxes and at the
some time send his children owoy from home for lust
high school education which is deory true of the mo-
ory of counties in the state Most Negroes pay twice
for their chdrens education This instance where

The tight shoe that the Negro now wears will NOT Let

Bama Will Spend
Five Million On
Negro Schools

Montgomery, Ala. - A four
and a half million dollar pro-
gram plus an additional eight
hundred thirty five thousand dol
lars per year increase in appro-
piation was suggested for Ala
bama by a special committee on
Negro education last week. The
report Of the committee was pre-
sented to kissing" Governor Fol-
som, and he in turn, stated that
the State Legislature would be
asked to approve the plan for
the establishment of Negro
graduate school.
1t was recalled that Alabama
was the first southern state to
provide an escape measure when
the Gaines decision was won in
the Supreme Court years ago. At
that time, the state legislature
past a bill providing a fun for
paying a portion of the expense
for Negroes who wanted to go
out of the state and study in
fields not provided by the state.
This recent program is sought
as an out against present feder-
al attempts to equalize education
al opportunities in the south for
Negroes and Whites. Some mem
bers of the Governors commit
tee stated that the plan will not
hold up under Supreme Court
test, no more than the suggested
regional education plan.

Reasserting the stand taken a.

man of the Negro Labor Com

today that ''Paul Robson is one
OF those with his feet in Amer

doesn't represent the American

speak for them This statement
followed the remarks labeled a.
gainst this country by Mr.. Robe
son before the Paris Peace Con
gress in France, where he said,
1T IS unthinkable that American
Negroes would go to war on be-
half of those who have opposed
US for generations against a
country which in one generation
has raised our people to the full
dignity of mankind"
Crasswaith emphasized further.
that Of all the many groups that
make up the population of our
great country, we are the onlv
group that was brought here TO
loose our liberty while every other
group came here to gain liberty
and freedom. The Negro recog-
nlzes that America has many fault
IN respect to treatment accorded
him, but these faults can be re-
NEEDED only in and under a demo-
crazy. Any form of totalitarianism
red brown or black will have to
face determined opposition OF the
American Negro. We in the labor
movement are blasting the trail

BRING SHANE BACK TO LIFE

So years ago it was Mothers
milk.
It was Mothers milk its the
true fact.
Human milk for every child.
I can say it was for white and
black.
Good moral was on every cross
road
1t was Mothers milk made blood
Every child nurse Mothers brest.
And not the goat and COW milk
from the tub.
The human blood has been mixed
up.
From a milg COW and a mamie
goat.
That is causin our human race
to fall out.
And cutting one anothers throat.
Mothers be nothing less than
mothers today.
And nurse your child from your
breast.
Stop raising your child on cow
and goat milk.
And give our country some rest.
It's best to put the human blood.
In the veins of our human race.
And then we will have more re-
spect today.
And not so much disgrace.
When our schools increase all
the brains.
And mamie goat increase the
blood.
We can not bring our vichure
back home.
With COW milk from shining
tub.
I am told milk makes blood for
a child.
If this is true l am writing true
facts.
The human blood is what we
need.
I'll say for white and black.
