If Thy Right Hand Offend
Thee Cut 1t Off

One of the most harsh of the Biblical njunctions is
the which says If thy right hand offend thee cut
it off, it being not without great difficulty to sense
situation which be faced without the greatest re-
uctance calling for the cutting off of the right hand
From many sections of the South it appears that
the NAACP the right hand of the Negro in the
South through its local organizations, whose drive for
EQUAL opportunity for Negroes had the support of
many fair minded Southern white people, even in
Mississippi and virtual mandate from the Negroes
themselves in the drive for integraton has no welcome
in the councils of authority and with no welcome IN the
councils of authority, controlled by the white leaders
the local and state levels the organization has lost
its effectiveness the Negroes right hand.
The late Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune whose wisdom
and greatness beyond that of of her contempt
what has been referred too her last Will and
testament to the people of her said that there
nothing that the Negro of the South should do that
would the sacrifice of the friendship of the South
white people.
AS attested to by developing events and more and
of the most intelligent of both groups the Ne
gro to his growing disadvantage is losing the friendship
of the white people at a fast moving pace
Up in Washington at the Civil Rights Mobilization
called by the NAACP during the Truman AdminStra-
ton, while urging the Negroes right to vote it's
choice rather than the attack segregation below the
college level pointed out that the ultimate victory
would the most reactonary forces in the South
against the Negro and his struggle for first class citizen
ship. There is nothing in the daily developments and re-
ports of Sayings burnings threats to Negro
leaders to refute that conclusion made during the Tru
Administration.
In the light of more recent developments it should
be becoming and evident to Negroes in Mis-
sisspp elsewhere in the South despite the Supreme
Court decision, that government starts at the local
level and unless organization exert influence
upon local action and conditions be of no help in
advancing the cause of those it seeks to serve.
Finally, it is apparent that the NAACP is succeed
ing in stirring increasing bitterness in the South be-
tween Negroes and white people.
In the light of the biblical injunction If thy
right hand offend thee, cut it off.

NOTES FROM
BERMUDA
By GERALD A. BRANGMAN

Hamilton, Bermuda, (GlobaD -
Bermuda labor has pulled together
at last - something that has al
ways been lacking. Conditions at
the Bermuda bus terminal have not
been too we'll for the past weeks.
The drivers requested an increase
in pay. A committee of drivers,
headed by Richmond Smith, met
with the Transportation Board ask
ing for an increase of one shilling
and a penny, approximately 14kc,
which would bring their hourly
pay to seven shillings, or $1.0O an
hour. However, nothing came out
of this conference but the setting up
of an Arbitration Tribunal, chosen
by His Excellency the acting Gov
ernor, Hon. A. C. T. Chaplain.
Prior to the appointment of the
Tribunal, the drivers struck, leav-
ing the country without any bus
service for a complete weekend.
Since the Tribunal had to de-
liberate, the drivers, through the
advice of their attorney, Arnold
Francis, decided to return to work,
pending the outcome of the DELHI
erations. They made it plain, how
ever, that unless their demands
were met, they would strike again.
The public is very much in SYM
patty with the drivers. After a
lengthy session, the Tribunal, head
ed by S. S. Holdings, made very
fine report to the government,
stating that the claims of the driv-
ers were just and recommended the
desired increase.
The government, however, failed
to accept the committees report,
with the result that the drivers
walked out on the eve of Ber-
muda's biggest event of the year,
the Annual Cup Match. This meant
thousands of pounds to the govern
ment. The strike is over a week
old now, and nothing has been
done. The drivers are holding their
own, and the public is going along.
Heretofore in situations of this
sort. some kind of pressure has
made labor turn back. This hold
out represents a new determination
on the part of labor.

BE NOT TODAY
The rich man owns a Cadillac car,
Bulldozer farm all just the same.
The poor Negro owns a T Model
Ford,
And one tired mule named Jane.
Now that day has passed and gone
And the evening shades appear.
Now the Negro owns a Cadillac
car
In Cotton Valley down here.
God makes no difference in the man
He only asks man for new heart.
Yet men are trying to exchange
brain,
Since the modern day they are so
smart.
Brains are for the material man,
And the heart is to govern his soul.
Jesus didn't ask for the brain at
all,
But His Fathers love will control
The love of God is the salvation
of man,
Yet brains are to figure who is
right
Too many fools in the church
fighting
And doesn't know fight that's
right.
1t is best to know you are born
again,
Than to know you art doomed
Unless you are born of the heri-
tage of God,
Your soul has never been found.
When you are free from sin
You have been born again
Yet the latter is your hope in God,
Salvation will save all men.
The love of God is the salvation
of man
1t will lead you all the way.
Without the love of God you are
Out in the world going astray.
When you see yourself big man,
You have made a big mistake.
Unless we come as a little child
From Heaven | am afraid we are
late.
Self makes a man big man,
But the love of God makes you a
child.
Self is like a bad yard dog
With block and chain all the while.

SHARE YOUR
WISDOM

NEW YORK-(GlobaD-The in
telligence of God is wisdom from
above. That intelligence is avail
able to you as you develop the ca
pacity to claim it. Henry Ford is
quoted as saying: Wisdom should
be the aim of every person" The
individual separated from higher
intelligence is condemned to a
drifting existence. Wisdom must
be sought. Just as musician
who seeks more profound abil-
ity to express music must increase
his hours of practice, so must the
individual seeking infinite COM
panionship, discipline himself to
its constant pursuit.

U. S. Asks Report
On Oil Imports

Washington - The Federal gov
eminent has called on the petrol
cum industry for a report of oil
imports into this country.
The report, being sought be-
cause of charges being made that
imports into this country are ex-
cessive, was requested by Mobili-
zation dierctor Arthur S. Flem-
ming. He directed oil importing
companies to report their imports
of crude, residual and refined pro-
ducts in the first seven months of
this year and their planned i'm
ports through the first half of 1856.
The report was requested by Au-
gust 10.
Flemming acted on the recon-
mendation of the cabinet-level ad-
visory committee on energy sur
plus and resources policy. The
committee earlier approved volun-
tary measured by the industry to
hold imports down to at least the
same ratio with domestic output
as prevailed in 1854.
The request was sent to 70 COM
panies. One unnamed company re-
portedly exceeded its 1854 ship
ments in the first quarter by as
much as $4,000 barrels day OF
crude oil. The highest excess OF
imports of residual oil was report
ed to be $4,000 barrels daily by a
single company.
A spokesman for the Office OF
Defense Mobilization said the gov
eminent has received complaints
from independent domestic produc-
ers.

Launch Plan To
RevoIutionize
Native African
Farming

Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia-A
plan to revolutionize African farm
ing has been launched by the Ma
tive Affairs Department of Sou
thern Rhodesia.
1t will cost some $18,480,000 and
will involve 100000 acres of
African land.
The aim, in the first five years,
is to double the average family
cash income and implement the
Native Land Husbandry Act of
1851, switching African agricul-
ture from a communal to a land
ownership basis.
The change-over from the tradi-
tional community system to one OF
personal ownership will involve, be-
tween now and the end of 1859
surveying African areas from the
air, classifying land, developing
water supplies and giving intensive
instruction to Africans to help
them open up holdings and in.
crease both crop and cattle produc.
ton.
Full augmentation of the Ma
tive Land Husbandry Act will NEAR
not only far better use of the vast
land resources but also an in
creased contribution to nationa
welfare through the better EN-
ployment of human resources,
says a special report of the gov
ernment's Native Affairs Depart
ment.

Rail Unions
Ask 25-cent
Pay Boost

Eleven incorporating rail unions
opened a drive for a 25-cent-an-
hour wage increase from the Ma
TONS major railroads to reflect the
sharply increased productivity of
rail workers and to remove the in
equities of rail wages compared
with other industries.
The unions will serve formal
notice on the roads Aug. as pro-
vided in the Railway Labor Act.
The II unions also moved on an
other front-asking the National
Mediation Board to have the rail
roads pay the full cost of the pres
ent health and welfare plan now
shared equally by the railroads and
the workers.
The recent settlement on the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad
called for the railroad to pay the
full cost. The unions are seeking
to extend this pattern to the other
railroads.
Unions seeking the 25-cent boost
are the Maintenance of Way En-
ployes, Railway Clerks, Railroad
Telegraphers, Railroad Signalmen,
Dining Car Employees, Railway
Carmen, Machinists, Boilermakers
and Blacksmiths, Sheet Metal
Workers, Electrical Workers and
Firemen and Oilers.
George E. Leighty, president OF
the telegraphers, will head up q
,oint negotiating committee Of the
i unions.
Leighty noted that the last gen.
eral increase in basic wage rates
was negotiated in 1851. That pro-
vided for q 1871 -cent-an-hour hike
in wages plus clause gearing
wages to the cost of living. The
Unions also won a 4-cent-an-hour
productivity pay hike as of Decem-
YER 1852.

footing in the African areas" the
report stated.
Major results expected are q
crop increase of so per cent in
five years, and 80 per cent increase
in livestock production in eight
years.
The total cash value of the an
nual African Agricultural output in
Southern Rhodesia should increase
from $28, 200, 900 to $40, 1880, 900 in
five years and $48, 100000 in eight
years. 1t is hoped the annual aver
age cash value income of African
families on the land will increase
from SAT, to $95 in five years and
to $115 in eight years.
In addition to profound effect
on African rural economy, the
repercussions on the economy of
the whole colony will be consider
able, if the program is successful.
