questioning.
According to Police reports
Leguillou told them that Ca
bret came to his shop at about

AT that time he reminded him
of a 70 cent debt he owed him;
Cabret is said to have acknow-

pay him then. He handed Lee
guillou two dollars in payment
and he also took out the 70
cents overdue; this, he said,

the Negro problem as such.
Both deal with a very special

dubious merit, the passing Of
the color line.
For every Negro who could con-
celvably cross over If he so de-

are dark enough that no crossover

this is true, how can you pretend
to treat the overall problem by
dissecting the predicaments Of
the few marginal people who are
light enough TO pass for white?
Obviously the intent OF the pic

that person with Negro blood is
no different from one without
From this the white is supposed

The passing problem is a pc
culiarly minor problem so far as
the white is concerned and il is
even a minor one to the colored
person from the standpoint OF the
overall color line problem.
II doesn't take into considera-
ton the darker Negro who wants
acceptance not because he looks
white but because he feels that
his color should not restrict him
from living as other men do.
Certainly there are good pic
lures which can and must be
made which will aid in breaking
down the color line. and while
these are steps in the right direc-
ton. they will be hailed as much
ado about nothing by great
many whites.
