LITTLE KNOWN
4 FACTS
of NEGRO HISTORY
By CLARA F. LEMON

THE classic pattern of Negro
= slavery was created by the
state Of Virginia. That state
worked earliest and most dill
gently towards constructing the
forms Of chattel slavery. 1t was
in Virginia that Negroes were
first settled in America. There
the Negro woman earliest came
to be used as a field hand, con-
cubine, household servant, mine
worker, breeder, wet nurse, and
chatte1 slave.
In 1922, there were black
women in Virginia, as records
attest. From the beginning, the
planters sought to make them
objects of dehlement, for in that
year the burgesses established
fines for fornicating with
Negro. And ia 1870 HuglrDavis,
a white man, was whipped '''be-
fore an assembly of Negroes
and others for abusing himself
to the dishonor of God and

: He finds the truth, digests it,
is nourished and enriched by it
before he offers it to his flock.
To a large extent it will nour-
ish and enrich a number of his
hearers, but they still will lack
something. The faculty of Sc
Letting truth frst-hand and us
ing it for ones self is a lawful
possession to every Christian
and this exercise is being de-
MED. If all ones truth is deriv-
ed by this means from the
church, the faculties for receiv-
ing it b com undeveloped
through lack of exercise in OBJ
tanning it and the whole view
of truth becomes distorted. He
who abandons the search for
truth, under whatever pretext,
abandons truth.

+AsIsEE IT. !.

WE concluded the last discus
w sion by stating that without
food, exercise was impossible
and without exercise, food was
useless. We can simplify this
by saying that one hand wash
es the other - exercise is in
order to food, and food is in
order to exercise. These princi-
pies are essential if progress
and maturity are to be promoted
in the organism. Food that is
too easily acquired means that
the accompaniment of the otheer
component = discipline - brings
about the loss of value of the
food obtained. This leaves the
organism undeveloped, imma-
ture, low in the scale of organi-
cation and always fostering the
possibility of going from a
state of equilibrium to the state
of in re S i n G degeneration.

ed by Withdrawn conditions and
circumstances, development is
thereby arrested and the final
loss of faculties ensue. In short,
if the organism does nothing in
this relation, it is nothing. We
might condense the foregoing
by declaring that: Any principle
which secures food to the indi-
vidual without the giving of
work is injurious, and it is us
ually accompanied by the loss
of all the faculties concerned
with this operation.
The social and political anal
ogies OF, the law are constantly
with us as every day references.
All nations which have prema-
turely passed away, buried in
the graves of their own ineffi-
ciencies; all individuals who
have secured a hasty wealth by
chance or speculation; all chill
dren of fortune; all victims of
inheritance; all social sponges;
all satellites of our courts and
all beggars of the market-p1ace;
all of these are the living and
unlying witnesses of this I'M
alterable retributiOns of the law
OF e ARASITISM.
We have attempted to explain
the operation of the law of
Parasitism on the physical plane
by dealing with the material.
Now comes the application of
the law in the spiritual realm.
In searching the effects of Para
sitism in the spiritual, we begin
in somewhat unlocked for
quarter. One of the things which
tend to induce this habit in the
religious field is: Going to
Church. (While writing this, l
beg you to read and understand
it thoroughly before passing
comment, because if the thought
is lost through haste or bias,
you are apt to look upon me
with an evil eye). To begin
with, church-going, in itself, is
an invaluable aid to the ripe
development of the spiritual
life. 1t is SO firmly established
in this life that nothing is likely
to take its place or shake its
influence. Because of this high
and unique standard, we are
prone NOT to inquire just how
far has the church gone in
ministering to the piritual
health of the immense COM
munity who looks to is as
foster-mother. Secret abuses of
this venerable system are in
practice every day. I say again
that they are abuses to the in
stitution and not the institution
itself which is being attacked
by an impious hand. The dam
ger. of church-going largely de-

was infected from the outset.
Mostly, though, the records
reveal the avarices of planters
who sought to create out of the
African, a reservoir of gains
beyond what could be obtained
through their white indentured
slaves. 1t was necessary for
them to divide in order to rule,
and color gave them the excuse.
The difference in customs and
language between the Africans
and the white servants of Eng
fish origin furnished planters
with a weapon with which to
belabor both groups of workers.
Black and White could not be
allowed to mlngle or marry
because determination of the
two groups would inevitably
bring them to a unity of interest
socially and economically. This
would undermine the whole CO.
lonial structure. Kept apart, the
groups remained enslaved.
With this enforced separation
of the two laboring groups,
America had started down the
road that led to racism. civil
war and at last, in our time,
the Negro-White situation thad
has caused the National Negro
Congress to appeal for help 10

Council.
The sex of the Negro woman

strument for the economic sub
jugation OF. herself and her chill
dren. Her off-springs by white
men were, by law, bound out"
as slaves for a certain number
of years. Negro women could
be used carna11y by white men
but could make no legal claim
for their own and their chill
dren's support. Legislation was
frequently invoked against man

married whites. Then both were

ed, for a period of years. Such
victimization struck forcib1y, es-
pecially against Negro women.

The Flanders Proposal

The prospect is that little If anything will
come of the move by Senator Flanders to Dust
Senator Mccarthy from his committee chair
manships.
For one thing, the Vermont Senator acted
without consulting the party leaders and the
inference is that they do not indorse and will
not support what he has done. Furthermore,
Senator Flanders notion at least in it's i'm
plications, bears more on Senator McCarthyS
fitness to serve in the Senate than on his fitness
to head committees. If the Wisconsin Senator
is guilty of financial irregularities which he will
not or cannot explain, the appropriate remedy
would be to deprive him of his seat. But there
is little likelihood that this will be done.
Still, the Senate, and the Republican leaders
in particular are going to have to face up to
this question Of permitting Senator Mccarthy
to retain his chairmanShips. When the current
hearing is over, is he going to be permitted
to resume his investigation of the Army, for
instance? The Star believes that his unfitness
for this responsibility has been amply demon
strated. And if the Senate is going to GUST
him from his chairmanships, this is the basis
on which it should be done.

standards for jobs, to decide-without
outside check of any kind whether an
employe meets the standardS-and set
the compensation. There is no appeal
to the Civil Service Commission or to
any one else. It is astonishing that The
Star does not point this out to the clas-
sif1ed workers, and also point out to
them that here is fragrant attack on
mass scale against civil service safe
guards. The lesson is that the Sum-
merfield plan endangers the Civil Serv-
ice System-not that postal workers
menace q pay raise for classified en-
ployes.
It is disheartening that The Star ap-
pears to abandon its zeal for the pro-
lection Of the public against unbridled
power. It would be unworthy Of The
Star If its past stand was based on dis
trust of those formerly in power and
its present willingness to conf1de the
welfare of half million employees to
one mans will was based on confidence
in him as being so wise and so just that
no independent agency should review
his actions. Peter j. Cahill,
Secretary, National Association of
Letter Carriers.

prophecy regarding tyrants Of old:
"Your covenant with death shall be
annulled, your agreement with death
shall not stand. your refuge Of lies

flowing Scourge shall pass through. ye

mouth Of the Lord hath spoken It,"
What q moment was that when the
Senators solemnly repeated the 2Srd
Psalm! Though walk through the
valley of the shadow of DEATH" as
somehow the familiar words burst into
a new incandescence of meaning.
Since then decade has passed. And

that hazardous June journey, and
younger United States warriors. walked
with Slung rifles through the aisles
among the ten thousand white crosses
speaking forever of those who broke
the back of the German aggression.
There they lie where crimson peoples
grow. There were prayers. speeches,
tears, music and the sweet cadences
of q bugle blowing Taps. But that
bugle lifting its plaintive notes among
the crosses in the lovely French coun-
tryside was but echoing 10000 Ameri-

determination as, now, we face an

A front-page article in The Star Of

given rise to some
uneasiness in Foreign Office and other
government circles, which finds special
vent in the comment regarding the
forthcoming meeting of the king with

ing grave alarm at the possibilities
which may ensue from King Edwards
German visit, saying: 1T is suggested
that the emperor will take the oppor-
tunity Of his royal uncle'S visit to en-
tangle US in some form Of agreement
with Germany, or that, even if things

william will somehow manage to COM

happened on. the last visit Of the en-

terestS and apparently without their
knowledge. were drawn into the Vene-
zuela mess and the Bagdad railroad

this feeling of anxiety. We feel pretty
sure that a determined attempt will be
made by the Germans to compromise

bound to make the attempt. so sore are
his people at their present isolation
