Something On The Use OF Eminent
Domain To Seize Negro Property

Down in Biloxi on the beautiful Mississippi Gulf
coast the cries of the weak going UNDECIDED while the
Biloxi Housing Authority using the Power of the FEEDER
al Government is Selling homes and property long owned
and occupied by Negro citizens under the guse of Sum
Clearance oustng them to build housing project for
white people.
One of the most valid complaints of the American
Negro Citizens in his struggle against his statue of
ond class citizenship and its twin evils of segregation
and discrimination is that ways and means can always
be found when and wherever desirable to the law
against him. regardless of the real intent and purpose of
the law.
In the Biloxi matter the Housing authority is using
the ancient law of Eminent Domain as the instrument
with which to seize homes and property long owned and
occupied by Negro citizens and it adds but little to the
ugly circumstances OF the to add that when these
Negro citizens have been ousted from their homes
will be all but impossible for them to find homes
and places to live in Biloxi the place of their attachment
and nativity
Any person who has even a documentary knowledge
of the law knows that the of the law of Eminent
Domain, and condemnation and seizure the property
and homes of these Negroes to provide housing pro-
Ject for white people is studied and glarng misuse
Of the law.
In this studied and garing misuse of the law
backed by the power of the Federal Government.
What is taking place down at Biloxi has far more
ugly and more far reaching implications regards
Negro homes and property ownershps in the SOUTH 1t
is we'll known that in the pattern of Southern urban de-
Veopment Negroes have acquired property which has
become in many both valuable and desirable in the
plan of expansion and expected growth in many areas
in Mississippi and throughout the south.
What the Biloxi Housing Authority is doing will
establish precedent by which the ruthless and greedy
seize the homes and property of Negroes with en-
punity. But alas though the cries of the Negro
citizens of Biloxi go unheeded and the precedents es-
tabShed is extended to other in Mississippi and
the SOUTH given enough time to process will find
its victims among white people
How much more heavy must the load become under
which the Negro must struggle to keep his faith in the
law, IN Justice, and right and democracy We say again
that the Eminent Domain proceedings instituted with
the power Of the Federal Government is an ugly and
glarng misuse of the law by the Biloxi Housing Author
y and having been started in the Of and with the
power of the Federal Government it ought to be stopped
and rpudated by the power and the name of the Fed
eral Government.

Twenty-four cities sent dele

Ever since the, demonstration

Europe Awaits
Negro Talent
Says La Baker

NEW YORK, N. Y. = Europe
offers tremendous opportunities
for Negro entertainers at this
time, according to Josephine Bak-
er, world famed star currently en-
joying her first sustained triumph
in the United States. Miss Baker,
who went to Paris in 1925 as a
chorus girl in the show "Revue
Negro" and stayed to win the ac-
claim of all France and Europe as
the foremost entertainer of her
era, stated that France has always
welcomed and appreciated the fin
est Negro talent in the world.
Miss Baker cited the current sue
cess in Paris of such well-known
American Negro performers as the
Peters Sisters, "who will probably
stay in France a long time now" "
Kenneth Spencer, Negro baritone,
is another example of this trend,
the celebrated chanteuse said.
Spencer has had a magnificent
reception in France during the past
year, where he has become one of
the most popular singers on the
French radio network. He is in
the great demand there. He has
married a French woman and is
the father of a child.
Duke Ellington, Katherine Dunn
ham, Lena Horne, the Nicholas
Brothers, Louis Armstrong, h e
Four Step Brothers, and veteran
jazz soprano saxophonist Sidney
Bechet, head the long list of Negro
entertainment stars who have
scored great triumphs in the
French capitol.
France has always been partial
to talented Negro performers, Miss
Baker said, expressing the hope
that many other colored entertain
ers would visit Paris and other
European cities displaying the
best that the Negro has to offer
in art and culture.

Negro voters in the South, Mr..
White indicated, could be depend
ed upon to give substantial sup
port to driving out the Dixie dem
agogues. "a million Negroes are
qualified to vote in the South to-
day. By the time of the presi-
Dental election of 1852 that num-
Der must be doubled" the NAACP
official asserted. "This vote Joined
with that of Negroes in II border

the potential balance of power,

President of the United States will
be neither Dixiecrat nor a re-
dictionary Republican. For the Ne
gro vote will stand with that of
other enlightened Americans who
are determined that freedom shall
not be destroyed by racial, eco
monte or political bigots."
Other forces working for the re-
tirement of southern demagogues
are, Mr.. White said, the youth of
the region, certain segments of
the church, the more enlightened
labor unions, and the growing in
naturalization of the region.
Spearheading the drive is the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People
which "has never given nor asked
any quarter; it asks none now"
I'VE shall continue" Mr.. White
said, ito ignore physical threats
or anguished cries for more time
to remedy the inequalities which
come with i'll grace from those re-
sponsible for them. We fight not
only to free the Negro from phys
ical bondage. but white Americans
from the moral slavery which re-
suits from artificial barriers based
on race, creed or national origin.
We fight not only for our genera
ton but also for generations to
come"

Race And Ethics
(From The New York Herald Tribunel

When everything has been said that needs to be
said against an official attitude that condones and toll
crates abuses of public trust there will remain certain
deep forces which must account for part of the prevail
ing degeneration of moral standards In speech at At
lanta, before the Annual Convention of the National
Association for the Advancement of Coored People,
Phillip Wille has touched suggesvey on one of these
Discrimination he said "has given us background of
prejudice, hatred and shame 1t offers hypocrisy
that could only result in general lowering of our moral
conduct. Undoubtedly there is connection between
racial discrimination and corruption difficult though
1t may be to trace out all it's manifestations
nation that accepts double standard in one field
is inevitably led to accept it elsewhere The promise of
equal treatment written into Declaration of indie
pendence has become part of the American character
yet in practice daily betray the promise and live by
some lesser rule The attitude which permits men to
wink at their basic beliefs while they discriminate
against human beings because of the color of their skin
is not dssmar from the attitude which permits deva
lions from strict candor honesty and principle in other

Phillip Willkie speaks as true son of his father
when he sets civil rights the tombstone of freedom

where the sordid and the could not show their

IF so PROVE 1T

Why over load your wagon
And claim a friend to Christ
Bishops pastoring churches today
That is not bishops life.
II.
A Bishop holds the highest rank
He is not pastor at all
He watches over the pastors
And answers the peoples call.
III.
The people calls on the Bishop
To send them a shepherd to lead
He assign the Pastors to their work
And by his law they must take
heed.
| Don't think you can't be ignorant
Because you have a double DID
You have to have the spirit of God
And know your soul is free.
V.
God is calling for the little man
And not the stiff neck ones
Unless we come as little child
Gods will is yet not done.
VI.
To many stiff neck men today
Claiming a part in Christ
Yet they have never been born
of the spirit of God
But are living stiff neck life.
VII.
The bible is a book of books
It's for you and me to read
Obeying the program of our Lord
And warn others to take heed.

When the Lord bless my people
They seem to go astray
Then take part with the racketts
For money its much greater pay.

Continued from Page One)

DR.. Benjamin E. Mays, president
of Morehouse College, and Philip
Willkie, Indiana State legislator
and son of the late Wendell Will
! kie.
Despite continuing discrimina.
ton and segregation, DR.. Mays
saw a new South emerging in
the area of human relations. He
contrasted the conditions prevail
ing in the South of his youth with
! those of today and cited the forces
which had brought significant
changes in this region. Fore
most among these, he indicated,
has been the NAACP which de-
vised an effective way "to achieve
more freedom and justice through
the federal courts"
"The Negro himself" the Geor-
gia educator said, sis more de-
termined today to become a first
class citizen" but not determined
enough. eff the determination is
to be measured by the number of
Negroes who are willing to pay
for their freedoms by fighting
through the orderly process of the
law and courts and by paying for
it by contributing annually to
organizations like the NAACP and
the Southern Regional Council,
the determination is not very
strong"
But those of us "who are de-
termined to make America and
the South the greatest citadel of
democracy on earth and who be-
lieve that a Christian democracy
is best for us and for all peoples,
better for us than fascism, naz-
ism or communism, will continue
the fight; convinced that time, the
universe, and even God, fight on
our side"
The South, Dr.. Mays noted, has
not voluntarily moved forward.
Only in compliance with court or
ders did it extend the ballot to
the Negro, abandon segregated
dining cars, equalize teachers sal
aries, open its professional and
graduate schools to Negro stu
dents, and expand its appropri-
atoms for education of Negro
youth.
Costs Friendship of
COlOred Nations
Color discrimination and segre-
cation is costing America the
friendship and support of bill
lion and a half colored peoples
throughout the world, Mr.. Will
kie told delegates and friends at
tending the session.
"If these people," young Will
kie said, "join the Soviet side in
the titantic struggle for world
leadership, we will find ourselves
an isolated island, garrison state
in a Soviet Communist-dominated
world. If they join our side, we,
in turn, are placed in "a dominant
position-a position in which we
can much more easily isolate the
Russians.
The leadership of the dark
skinned nations are, Mr.. Willkie
asserted, cable, well-educated, So
phisticated, and frankly cynical
about Americas professed ideals
because of our treatment of mi
norities."
One of the best ways to win
the friendship of these peoples,
the Indiana legislator concluded
s'would be the immediate enact
ment of the civil rights program
as introduced in the Senate this
week. Not only in foreign affairs,
but also in domestic affairs, the
American attitude toward minori-
ties is corrodingl influence pro-
viding a background for intoler-
ance, prejudice and hate in Amer
lean life"
