The Phalanx is a service group

groups. It is part of the "Y" and
as such it tries to exemplify the

Well Jack:

Well, Jack;
For several years I have been
reading your letters in the Enter
prise. And have hoped that here
is a young Negro that has some
thing on the ball.
But I see in your attempt to
ridieule Mr.. Hooks statement that
Negroes have made more progress
in the last twenty years under
Democratic than under all Re-
publican administrations combined.
Now Jack. am not writing
you from an educational stand
point. have no education. I was
born so years too soon for that.
But am writing you from exper-
fence. From the death of Lincoln
until the Roosevelt administration.
the Republican party did nothing
but apologize to the South for
what Lincoln did for the Negroes.
You wound up promising to tell
readers next week something about
the record of the Democrats.
Now Jack, see you have made
about face. But don't forget to
tell your readers that for 40 years
prior to Roosevelt's administration
in 1888 Negroes were lynched at
the rate of one thousand every
ten years.
And Jack, don't forget to tell
your readers that under ten years
of Roosevelt's administration there
were only 43 Negroes lynched.
And Jack, don't forget to tell
your readers about Jasper and his
mule and farm that the Southern
Democrats with the sanction of the
Republican administration were
about to take from him when
Roosevelt stepped in and said no.
And Jack. tell your dear readers
that for the greater part of 70
years, while Republicans were in
power, we never heard of a coin
being minted in honor of one of our
race. We never heard of a stamp
being put out in honor of Negro.
We never heard of Negro woman
launching a war ship. We never
heard of the First Lady of the
Land condemning the greatest wo-
mans organization in the world
for discrimination against a Me-
gro woman.
And Jack, don't forget to tell
your dear readers that a Negro
woman was voted the Mother of
the Year over all the millions of
white women in the land.
Oh Jack, know your kind will
soon forget all this. 1t is char
acteristic of Negroes to soon forget
those that benefit them.

two weeks ago. To those in. compli-
ment we express our deepest ap-
probation and to those in criti-
cism we do likewise because we
believe the criticism is intended to
be constructive.
A letter received from Mr..
George Moore. 2544 South Tacoma
Ave-, published elsewhere in this
issue, is self-explanatory. Another
gentleman called on the telephone
and asked the following questions:
Mr.. Johnson, don't you know that
the Civil War is over? And don't
you know that the Negroes have
long ago paid the Republican party
for all it has ever done for us :?
He, like Mr.. Hooks of Cleveland,
Ohio, whose letter published in
the Pittsburg Courier issue of
December 10, 1949 inspired our
comment of two weeks ago, in
sisted that Negroes have made
more progress under Democratic
administrations than under Re-
publicans, and ended the converse.
ton by saying that the junk we
wrote on the subject was bunk,
and that we should use our head
for something besides hatrack.
This gentleman Is a young
man, now of voting age, but not
old enough to remember much
about even the last Republican
President. He has heard of Her
bert Hoover, but the most he
has heard about him Is that he
started a depression. Wq-b
lieve from observation and from
information that there are many
thousands of young Negro voters
of the same opinion because they
are possessed of about the same
information. They are meagerly
Informed of the past records of
both parties and 1t Is our hope
from time to time to discuss
these records, not to agitate a
controversy, but for public in
formation.
We still do not agree with Mr.
Hooks and his summary of the
merits of the Democratic and Re.
publican parties. We still regard
as stupid his statement that the
Republican parry should rot in it,
grave. To begin with, the statement
portrays hatred and hatred emf
mates only from the minds of per
sons who are in some degree men
tally i'll. We believe that the Amer
lean people need at least two major
political parties as nearly equa
in strength as possible-if for M
other reason than checks and bal
ances. And we believe it is dan
gerous to the nations economy
to concentrate too much power IL
