Congressman Diggs Speaks
At Mound Bayou

Up at Mound Bayou the other day the principal
speaker at the Fourth Annual Meeting of the Mississippi
Regional Council of Negro Leadership Congressman
Charles c. Diggs Jr who left Mississippi in his early
childhood with his forebearers to to the great indus
trial city of Detroit from whence in the last election
he seat in the House of Representatives of the
United States to become the first Negro elected to the
Congress from the state of Michigan.
Ever since the meeting we have been hearing both
praise and criticism in varying degrees from various
sources, of the young congressman's Mound Bayou
speech circumstance which would have been the result
in this period in the state and perhaps any other time
had the speech been made by one who was gifted with
the tongue of angels.
Having studied, at length, the copy of the
speech sent to US by the young Congressman himself,
and having been informed by those present at the
ing that he stuck to the text throughout the speech
from the point of view of those who offer the criticism
it could be in their minds that the young Congressman
dweed too long the quotation from the great speech
of Prime Minister Winston Churchill in rallyng the
British people for last stand against possible German
invasion of their Island during the second world To
those there is analogy between the conditions then
facing the people of the British Island and those now
facing the Negro in Mississippi in the South and in the
rest of the nation The young congressman not the
only budding statesman in the world whose mind has
been captivated with the maches prose and oratory
of the great British leader
The of the Churchill quotation aside there is on
part of the speech by the young which
vealed great depth of WISDOM and which should be
studied by every Negro leader and would be Negro
leader IN the state of Mississippi and in the rest of the
South.
Speaking in regard to economic reprisals and other
conditions as they effect the Negro in his struggle
for first class citizenship the young congressman has
this to say.
Il hope this experience makes you the i'm
portance of patronizing group whenever and
wherever possible 1t is an old lesson but it cannot be
taught too often, We must maintain our economic au-
tonomy. We must consolidate resources We must
preserve consciousness and pride in group
achievement. We must support own FIRST, if
it means sacrifice, until the water of Democracys
economic stream flows backward and forward for black
and white aike Call it inconsistent with dream of
Call
elimination if you wish But the alternative my friends
is to witness many of economic advances Il present
and potential built with agonizing pains through
ershlp and by burning the midnight oil in educational
institutions the country, driven the
tails into the dark crevces of oblivion"
We pass this on to the Negro citizens of Mssis-
sppl because in opinion greater and meaningfu
words could be spoken Negroes in this period in their
history.

What Are The New Frontiers?

Is this the end? Has civilization as we know it
come to cose Are the great cycles of time turning as
reentessy the tides of the ocean, about swing into

future?
Wrong! The only frontiers that have been closed
are those of geography The frontiers of the mind of
research and knowledge, virgin Wilderness marked
only by the foopaths of those intrepid adventures who
dared to think ahead.
Never before has there been such opportunity to
learn Never before there many things to study
so much to be found out Every day discoveries are
made beside which the conquests of Columbus or the
ancient voyagers pale into insignifcance. Each ad-
venture in knowledge each discovery paves the way
for others far important to mankind for each

er possibilities to the next inquiring mind
The impatient say eve want to get ahead. We
haven't the opportunities to out fortune for our
selves as the pioneers had"
Haven't the opportunity? With our three dmen-
sonal lives opening up trades professions new
types OF workor new ways to improve old ones There
are not the opportunities and there no easy
jobs but the pioneers did not have easy lives and their
work was not that to which they accustomed They
had to learn And the frontier seekers of today can 20
further because of the efforts of those who preceded
them.

WE MUST OBEY GODS WORD
OR WE ARE LOST TODAY.
Wall Street is ruled by Jews and
Germans
They are the Lords and Kings of
price
America dances by their music
And takes the foreigner for his
advice.
Most all of Americas cities today
Belong to some foreign race
While Americans were selling the
humans from Africa
Because they had a black face.
God had to get in Americas plan
With his power and for the black
man
Because Jesus said to Love Ye
One Another
That reaches from land to land.
If we expect to obey Gods will
We must love every race the same
The word Negro we can hear today
But African is the right name.
The name Negro is something dirty
In a saw mill to but over the log
The African race yet hold his name
So love him, he's not dog.
Jesus did not give his life for one
race
He suffered on that Cross for all
Who would believe on him and
not in vain
And answer to the right call.
You brought the Africans to
America
Gave him an axe and saw.
To clear away threw timber
For you and your Grand Pa.
There is not a full blooded African
left behind
His blood is mixed from A to z
Millions are now in America
And their faces are just like me.
Take Gods Holy Word today
And obey mans law that's right
Jesus said Love Ye One Another
He died not mentioning Black or
White.
Too many devils in Gods House
today
Don't even love their children and
wives
God won't have no police in Heaven
It's nothing but a Holy life.

mistreatment of Negro citizens, the
town and Humphreys County, in
which it is located, has been al
most constantly in the spotlight
for more than two years because
of suits attempted by Negro citi-
zens because of the denial of the
right to pay poll tax, register and
vote. Rev. Lee, and the Regional
Council of Negro Leadership is re-
garded as mainly responsible for
the continued efforts on the part
of local Negroes to obtain their
rights as citizens with the result,
according to reports, that Rev. Lee
was first to be put on the "black-
list" of the local Citizens Council.
The Citizens Councils, now
spreading over the State, with an
organization formed in Jackson
last week, and which has already
spread to other Southern States, is
an organization of whites pledged
to maintain segregation despite
decision past or future, of the
United States Supreme Court.

Rev. Lee died en- route to the

Sunday morning after his car
crashed into house after another
car passed his car on the right
side Of the street, as witnesses
said they heard two loud shots.
Rev. Lee was taken to the hos
pital by L. H. Harper, Negro taxi
driver, and Willie Brownlee, an
other Negro man.
According to reports, although
he was still alive when taken from
the wreck, he did not speak, or
say anything while en- route to the
hospital.

Student Exchange
Figures Increase

The interchange of persons for
educational purposes between the
United States and other countries
has more than tripled in recent
years. Growth in the number of
exchanges has been particularly
notable since the end of World
War II, and this development has
arisen not only from the needs
and wishes of individual scholars
but also from the desire of private
groups and governments to foster
mutual understanding among ma
tons and equalize the dissemina-
ton to chronological advancements
throughout the world. During this
year alone, it is estimated that
some 10000 foreign citizens will
study, train, or teach in the United
States, and approximately 10000
Americans will go abroad.
