and sewage systems. and other
municipal improvements as
well as farm work that was
formerly done by common labor
is now done by machinery.
What is the Answer?
The Negro problem will not be
solved by mob demonstrations
No community can give til g
Negroes the jobs for which so
many Of them are presently
fitted. It will take time to train
them to fill jobs that are now
held mainly by Whites.
The problem will not be solv-
ed either by speeches such as
that which Walter w. Heller,
Chairman of the Presidents eco
nomic advisers. gave in Kansas
City recently. He told his audi
ence that he believes every fami-
ly having a cash income of less
than $4,000 a year should be
classified in the poverty"
group. This would amount to
around 20 per cent of the coun-
try's families. 1t seems to me
that it should be frankly recog-
nzed that the pick and shovel
era" is long since over and that
we are in new era of super
machines which these young
people could be taught to op-
crate, but this means increased
taxation for municipal and state
improvements. For a while the
government may be compelled
to supplement the family income
OF these people to get them out
OF the poverty class" which
Mr.. Heller is talking about. But
believe education and training
may be the real answer. Per
haps initiation may help to solve
the matter. but it is possible
that those of us who now have
jobs may need to be taxed to
help those who cannot find jobs.
