The Negro And The Boycott

In recent news reports from widely scattered
tons of the country Negroes being called upon as
result of the wide publicity given the Montgomery Ala
bama affair." for increasing use of the boycott as an
effective weapon for in obtaining their goal OF rs
class citizenship.
In every case it will be noted that those who are
calling upon Negroes for this increasing use OF the
boycott are using example the non-vioen resist
ance campaign of the santed and gifted Indian Leader
Mahatma Ghandi which led to the independence of
India which is rapidly becoming one OF the lead
ing nations of the world.
In snte of the great success of the campaign led by
Mahatma Ghandi, find it most difficult if now i'm
possible to find analogy in the situation of the In
dams India under British rule and that OF the Negro
in the United States particularly those IN the deep
South.
In 1948 we attended the Republican National Con-
vention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where seated
next in the press gallery there was young Indian
correspondent from the Bombay Times.
In the course of conversation, which we had with
this young Indian regarding Ghandi and India, which
had yet achieved its independence, he said to u.s.
That in very few years now India would be great
and independent nation his assertion being based on
the fact as he stated That there than four
hundred million Indians in India and only about 60 mil
lion EngiShmen in the entire world who accept tor
handful of civil servants are separated from lnda by
10000 miles adding in conclusion the statement that
before England from thence forward could continue to
dominate India there would have to be an Engshman IN
India to walk beside every Indian e~ ~~-
The lack of an analogous situation regarding tn
16millon Negroes in the United States dwelling in the
midst of 140-milOn white people appears to us too
obvious to mention here.
There are certainly sufficient number of white
people in the United States to find to walk beside
every Negro in a counter boycott.
We are now and have always been for the lack OF
analogy above stated and for many other reasons been
opposed to the boycott effective Negro weapon,
and without further efforts at profoundly despite the
tenor of the times; in our opinion the most effective
weapon of the Negro particularly IN the South is
smile prayer and song.

Moderation Is Not An Empty Phrase

Moderation" as applied to the problem precipitated
by the Supreme Courts decision striking down segrega
ton by law in the public schools is beginning to win
converts from both sides of the controversy.
What is moderation in this context? 1t isn't just
sentiments let she nice to-eachoher kind of thing.
Moderation has content big component of which is
recognition of the facts Of not the fictons about the
whole racial situation.
For instance: The Committee for the White House
Conference Education, composed of educators and
others from all parts of the nation and from both races
reports agrees that the intent of the American people
is to abolish racial segregation possible But
1t also agrees that deSegregaton of the public schools
cannot be achieved with equal speed in every
ity, that is "a problem which must be worked out by
each community in it's way within the framework of
existing legal structures and the intent of the relevant
Supreme Court decisions
Another example: Last year Governor Hodges of
North Carolina appointed advisory committee edu
cation to study the impact of the desegregaton decision
southern society and to advise how the state might
adjust to it. This body has reported. 1t does not
like the courts decision does not believe the people
OF the state ready to accept ntegration And this
frankness makes all the significant the committees
conclusion that 1--WE must live and under the de-
cision of that court We should not delude ourselves
about that"
Furthermore, this committee has understood what
thousands of Americans have missed: That the SUI
preme Court has nvalidated color bar by law" but
that there is no legal compulsion anyone to mix
the races 1t recommends that the state proceed for
the present to assign children according the best in
terests of each child and of the school in the light of
local conditions. Color, says the committee might be
one among several considerations. And it rests some
faith In IAN understanding and tolerant court"
third example: The National Association for
the Advancement of Coored People spearheaded the
Negroes extraordinarily successful drive equal status
in law It's officers and its members manfesty want
desegregaton Yet Benjamin Muse quotes in recent
New Republic letter from Sherman Briscoe an
NAACP leader, writing an individual: "Ths might
be a good time for the NAACP to begin to shift it's
major emphasis from the egalistc to the social engi
neerng approach
And what could that shift its najcr emphasis
mean in concrete terms? It could mean shift from

PhiIippa Schuyler
Concert Sunday

The Jackson State College Ly-
ceum Association will ring down
the curtain on it's 1886 series at
400 p. m. Sunday, April %, when
the Organization presents Phillppa
Schuyler, gifted young virtuoso, in
the College Park Auditorium. The
twenty three year old pianist
brings unusual technical compe-
tence and a sense of correctness
and style to the concert stage.
Miss Schuyler is consistently
musical as she brings the beauty
of her artistry to the concert stage
at home and abroad. Wherever she
has appeared, the talented pianist
has received the highest common
dations of music critics: THE NEW
YORK TIMES, "She has an aura
of musical excitement, a belief
in the music and an ability to
communicate that belief to the list
ener." Dag Winding Sorensen,
AFTENPOSTEN, Oslo, "This exo-
tic young pianist is great talent"
Paul Tinel, LIE SOJR, Bruxelles,
I'VE have absolutely no doubt that
this Young artist will have a great
tutura." Virgil Thompson, THE
ART OF JUDGING MUSIC,
"What remains prodigious about
Miss Schuyler's work is the SINGER
itv of her musical approach and the
infallibility of her musical in
stinctS."

There are many ways between
right and wrong
And it is only one safe way in life
Jesus says, | am the way,
We must follow Jesus Christ.
We have allowed the wrong things
to get between our soul an
life
Man is nothing but the dust of
the earth,
But the soul of man is eternal life.
God made man out of the dust of
earth
In his image we are told
He blew breath into his nostril,
And he became living soul.
Why not believe Gods holy word
What it tells US every word is true
Jesus said, | have hid all of this
from the wise.
The modern church is trying to
change Gods word
With brains ringing the big bell
No church in their hearts today
Their hearts sinking as the Devils
He'll.
We can't get any peace with
bomb or a gun
1t takes the love of God,
Then all the work is done.
We know all the letters in the
Bible
And Sunday school lesson as well
Yet you don't know God in depart
ing of your sins
Do you know you are going to
He'll?
We can't fill Heaven full of stars
you see 81
Your schools are turning out all
types of young men today,
both white and black.
1t doesn't cost anything to live
life for Christ
And he tells us, | am the way
WHY not obey his fathers will
And live happy every day.
We must obey the will Of the
father,
Also Jesus Christ, his son;
Love We one another each day
And then his will is done.

Josephine Baker
States Farewell

PARIS, France, Apr. lex
hibiting all of her old-time vitality
and grace, Josephine Baker is MAX
ing her farewell performances to
show business in her beloved Paris,
before going into retirement.
She's playing to standing room
only for the three weeks at the
Olympia Theatre-doing old songs,
old acts but showing off her pas
sion for clothes and a "good act"
Of course, many times a per-
former "retires"-only to return
after few years of the routine of
normal living. Josephine says,
though, that hers will be perma-
nent unless she sings in her own
night club, which she will manage
as well as her own resort, swim
ming pool, hotel, theatre and dance
hall plus a few bars.
She contends that many stars
don't know when to quit and that
she is leaving show business while
she is still in her prime.

Formation of this new party three
months ago stirred considerable
publicity, especially in light of it's
apparently commendable aim of
bridging those divergences between
the two white groups-Afrikaners
and British.
Public Support Fails
But the Bond has by all accounts
failed to capture popular support.
And most political observers are
agreed that it is because of a
static color policy which injects
little new vitality into the solution
of this problem.
The Bond wants to build up South
Africa's white population with i'm
migrants from Europe in a con-
tinual process so as to freeze the
blacksmith ratio at it's current
figure of a to l. 1t encourages
nonwhite land ownership and wants
to develop nonwhite areas.
But it feels that at the present
time "the majority of the African
population differs radically from
the white on economic and cultural
grounds" that in many respects
Africans "have not reached the
same degree of development as the
European people," and that their
development SHOULD not he under
taken in competition with the
white"
The Bond has apparently at
tempted to steer a middle-of-the-
road policy between the govern
ment's segregation policy and the
official opposition's policy of eco
nomic Indignation. But the view
is widely held that in trying to be
all things to all men, the Bonds
policy has. failed to capture public
imagination. *
If anything, it is policy which
leans toward the conservative, and
toward the governments huge
parliamentary majority and result
ant ability to pursue its segrega-
ton policies determinedly, there
appears little future for a small
new party with q color policy that
overlaps to any degree that of the
government.
Neither do those points in which
it parrellels the more moderate
policy of the opposition United
Party seem likely to fire the vot-
err.
The reason for this is that the
United Party's own color policy
is beginning to be seen as one that
is unlikely to win an election
against ssent government
strength in South Africa's current
political cline.
Dynamic Appeal
The government is entrenched in
power with it's segregation policy.
1t is a policy which has won its
two elections and has a dynamic
emotional appeal to much of the
electorate - particularly Afrikan-
ers.
But there is no doubt that, prod
ded by pressure from its own lib
eral wing, the United Party is
assessing the prospects of even
bigger steps toward more liberal
color policy.

SATURDAY NIGHT Every
now and then one Of the brothers
that gathers with us in our ia
vorite Avenoo spot says something
with a whole lot of sense to it. This
is exactly what happened last
Saturday evening long about the
time the sun was ankle deep and
the beer was at it's best and the
good brothers was talking about
things in general. He said that
one thing that whole lot of Aunt

to doing yet was to start them up
bank account and save little
of that green stuff that's so hard to
get these days. He said that he
knowed whole lot of the brothers
and sisters that was making right
good change these days, but they
was getting rid of it faster than
they was getting it, and when it
was all gone they didn't have moth
ing to show for it worth nothing.
He said that the way he had 1t
fingered, if most of the good
brothers was to start saving some
Of that stuff and sailing it way in
the right place, it wouldn't be long
before they'd have enough to do
something worthwhile, like buy
ing up a lot, and sticking up a
house or something. The good
brother went on to say that a
whole lot of the sisters and broth
ers make enough money to buy
house and lot and everything that
goes with it, and that there amt
nothing better than buying a little
piece of ground cause you got a
stake in the land and you is really
q citizen. Yassuh! He said he'd
rather have one slice of bread that
was his own, than a whole loaf that
belong to somebody else. Course
now we amt no experts on the sub
ject but it jest amt no gettln
around it, that brother had some
