wPieKiteKTmrnssaenRBA'BjaieeBsrffii-iaoixiw \ EDITORIALS DURHAM STARTS SOMETHING The recently created Miiyjr’s Interruci- al Committee of Durham has work, and amonif ila fii^sl projects to(»k up two important matters in the field oi public education. Fii’sl. the committee petitioned the C’ity Council to fill the next vacancy on the municipal .school l)oa*o with a Netfro member. N4*xt. it asked that aomethinjf be done to close llie la>r a'l along the line between the Negn) attd white schools of the city, and specifically, to do something ab(»ut teclinical training for Negro boys and girls. Durham’s thoughtful Negro citizens for •ome time have felt the t.eed of r«*present- ation on the .school boartl. and have made efforts to have the City Council .see things the same way. It is to be hoped and ex pected that the pre.stige of the Mavor’s Committee will add enough weight to ihe previous appeals so that al the very fir.«>l opportunity the Council will appoint a competent colored citizen, of which there are many, to the school board. In some respects the other subject is even more impoi'tattt. thougli it is also true that a suitable Negrt» on the school board should certainly be able to do much to promote an increasing ecjuiility as be tween white and Negro schools. The matter of technical educiition is one which calls for special and serious attention. Forty or fifty years ago Negroes might have found a recej)tive eai‘ had they asked for more indu.strial Iraini’g. It is fashionable now to l)lanu‘ Negro leadership foj' ih(* fact that technical ed ucation in Negro secondaiw schools is so far behind that in white schools in this ttate. While a mistaken idea onlhe part of Ntjgro leaders as to the relative im portance and prestige «)f “lileraiy” and technical subjects probably lias a great deal to do with the fact that the white high sch»ols have far out ipped the Ne gro schools in technical and vocational education, there are several other factors to be taken account of: (1) Negro public secondary school de velopment in the S^julh, even in North Carolina, is relatively recent. .Negro edu cators and civic and lenders and their supporters have been so busy the last twenty years getting .standard high schools that they have had relatively little education, there are several other factors to be taken account of: (1) Negro public secondary school de- velvnient in the South, even in North Carolina, is relatively recent. Negro edu cators and civic and leadei-s and their supporters have been so busy the last twenty years getting .standard high schools that they have had relatively little time and opportunity to think of special ties. (2) As a matter of actual fad. white public opinion in the South ha.s never Wen enthusiastic about real technical ed ucation for Negroes. In the private schools, and later in the public schools, the whiter have been willing to have Ne groes trained for vocations in which the i,rhite working class was not interested, such as domestic service; and they have Jiot offered too much resistance to the training of Negroes for vocations in which Negroes were traditionally well Wtablished. But white labor, organized and unorganized, has openly or tacitl.v been hostile to real technical education where it would mean real competition' jfrom the Negro trainees. ' (3) Real technical education costs real money. It calls for modern equipment, .which is expensive, and for technically t: ai’ ed teachei-s who have to lie paid good 8^ laries. A great deal of what has passed -for vocational and technical education in even the better Negro private schools has been relatively worthless, because the pu pils were taught antique methods. They have been taught hand skills in fields where machinery dominates, or they have been trained on archaic machines already / THE CABOLINIAN Published by The Ccrolinian Publishing Co.

The liaiidling of cases against killer.s of officers of the law is ever.vwhere tradi tionally severe, and for a Negro in the South to 4'scaiu- deatli after killing one. whatever the circumstaiicc.s. is practically unheard of. .As the nevv.s story r>ads. the finding of the court might well have been juslili- able homicide, since the oficer of the law allegedly was seniiig an illegal writ, was using unnecessary and unjustifialib* force, and shot the defendant first.

There is no doubt that the Senate vote is an accurate reilettion of .American public sentiment at tliis time. Isolation ism is dead in this country. The events of the last ten years have thoroughly dem onstrated that there can be no peace, no security, for the mo.st powerful nation in the world, when that nation is standing alone: and it is doubtful that any com bination of two or three nation.s could by itself enforce peace. It is all for one ami one for all, or not at all. ANTI-POLL TAX ARGUMENT Mrs. Katherine Shryver. executive .sec retary of the .National Commitloo t(» Abolish the Poll Tax, is rightly and natur ally making capital of recent disgusting performances of certain members of Con- gres.s (who do not need to be named) in the Committee’s renewed campaign. It is hardly reasonal)le to expect that men of that type could continue to be rc-elecled to Congress if the states which they come from had real popular elections. It has reached the point now that the people at home as .well as outside are gel ling di.sgusted with the extremes of certain charlatans, mountebanks and addlepales who don’t know where to stop once they get their mouths open. And there are two or three of them who never .seem to shut their mouths. CLOSE CITY MARKET? Although there u; no doubt that County Health Officer Bulla knows what he is talking about when he says that the Raleigh City Market ought to be closed unless it is to be operated under better sanitary conditions, it seems t > bad that a potentially useful public institution, and one with such a long history of service, should go by the board. Perhaps by the time this is printed the city authorities will have come to the conclusion that something can be done which will avert the necessity of doLns away with the venerable public facility. /ecend Theuahts B7 C. b.

Now that the precedent has been established other southern courls will begin to follow it. Ne groes ill Cicorgiu some time age brought an action in the U. S.

It is said that Atlantans has been waiting lor the U- S Department of Justice to act on affidavits fur nished the ultoiney-genernrs of fice u-s to discriminatory practices if registrars .since the Texas pri mary decision. Tiring of the Jus tice Department's delay, they brought suit. Just last month the NAACF fil ed suit in a U. S. District court in Luuisiana against a registrar accused of imposing special and illegal tests for Negro wuuld-be registrants. A similar case is pending in Alabama. The Florida deci.sloii is in a way more effective than one by a Unit ed Stales Court, since it is an ac tion of a branch of Ihe state gov ernment itself, and by implication places the public sentiment of the state behind the enforcement of the letter and spirit of the t5th amendment and of Ihe U.

Even tluit has not been generally true ut the other states here mention ed; hence it is probably necessary ill such states first to establish the .Negro's privilege of voting at all.

Words were pul into the mouths of color ed men to discourage all whi dis sented with assurances that re- prisaU of many sorts would be visited on them and theirs if they did not keep quiet and "accept a place," al least feigning content ment with the status quo. Then nime the Durham Conference with , declaration of principles A ng these principles were a demand for political equality and a repudiation of the PRINCIPLE AND PRACTICE of Segregation. The Atlanta conference which followed ruled thai an aspiration of the colored people of the South beyond the color bar was not a legitimate aspiration. Bitter was the resulting controversy.

The meaning of democruo had begun to draw upon the Colored leaders, even those who had been so placed and paid that the politicians consid ered them ultra-safe.

Wf‘ face, without refutation, the most crucial period of all hu man history; our choice of a course to pursue in the future will inevitablv determine whether success or failure springs forth as the product of our present efforts. The decision whieh now face* us is inescapable; it can not be relegated to any other generation. Whether war will be obliterated and peace become a lasting reali ty depends upon the pattern of social behavior that will be fol lowed os a result of the execution of our present convictions. What shall our future be like is u question of paromount importance to every well-thinking person today. Wherein is the solution of tite many problems which now hold mankind in a maze of inpene- trable darkness'f The Christian Church should be the panacea of all the ills that now beset 'js. Is the church, as such, furnishing the soul-satisfying succor that man needs at this time is questionable. One of the reasons for the plight of man at this is due to the fact that the church has too often centered its program around bad in its entirety, but it has failed to take in account that man soul saving and the reward of a good life. Tlte policy has not been lives before he dies. The conduct of man has not be exemplary; he hus, however, received blessed sanctions when corrective measures would have caused him to sense the folly of his ways and repent. The church can ill-afford to condone wrong and exert the influence it is suppose to in the affairs of men. As the Christian Church is founded upon the principles of Christ's teachings, there is no need fur it to become materialistic to the extent that its hands become tied and its mouth fastened. The ch'urch must denounce, without flinching, those acts that warp our moral as well as our religious being. Many years ago people went to church to hear sermons based upon Heaven und Hell. (The same might be said of some churen sermons today.) The subject served well one definite purpose that of arousing the emotions until a kind of fanaticism gripped the worshippers. This method, very much outmoded and possesses with many deficiencies, will do little in helping us adjust ourselves to life In the practical sense. Heaven and Hell were pictured as dis tant realms where the souls of men would retire depending upon their conduct here on earth. The church fulfills its needs when it becomes a little more practical. Don't misconstrue the use of practical as used. People need to be told or reminded of the fact that t' .r existence here on earth can be either a Hfaven or a Hill. The foremost thing the church needs to establish is the fact that we live in one world and our acts towards each other should be most brotherly. If we live nobly, dying need not be of immedi ate concern to us. Remember. life always precedes death. Let the church be concerned more about man's attitude in his affairs with others. Christianity is often misinterpreted: we are at a lost simetime as to what it means. (The lost usually affords us an advantage over our brother.) Does it mean cloaking ones-self with a dignity which lasts one day? We might as well face realistically Christiani- tv as the same was carried out by the Master. It devolves upon the church to make clear that the seventh-day religious emphasis in not a .sufficient guarantee that the fuller life will be ours to enjoy. When the church, through its teaching, establishes the fact that chrisimnity should characterize our actions every day a def inite need has been met. Camouflaged Christianity practiced by the church probably accounts for the fact that its influence is not universally exeretd in the lives of men. If the church is to meet the needs that a.e expected of it. the leadership must be vested m the hands of those versed in the affairs of men. to the extent, that they are able to furnish counsel. There are so many things the church could encourage so that the general welfare of the people might be greatly improved. Unless the church bestirs its-self about social, economic, and political prob lems as well as religious problems it is doubtful whether the current upinion will remain the .same or grow better. This age presents a challenge to the church. How will the church accept this challenge? The time must come when the church no longer competes with the radio, Il will have no competitor, il its scope is so broadened that man receives from it what he desires most.

Plain Talk by dan Gardner THE COMaiUNISTS PUT NE GROES ON TOP AGAIN Few people have taken the trou ble to analyze the actual benefits or harm the Negro, as irgroup, has I'occivid in contact with -he Tdr munist Party. Much can be .said about the history of the CommunTid Parly in the United Slates, about its struggles und vicissitudes in the face of a majority public opinion, that it would be folly for me t.- at tempt u complete analysis of com munism in Its relation to the Negro problem hvre. However, in light of {he recent di\'clopmtnt.'! in which the Com- munisi Party was reconstituted fnllowing a turbulent three-d; y na tional convention in New York, ul- tfntion is focused once more oo communis’di, Il will be recalled that when Earl Browder, former leader of the c mmuni-il movement, was czar of the "starry-eyed brigade" the Ne gro question was dropped fmm iw top position -on the red aggenda and a win-thewar. back Roose velt pr:»gram was substituted in stead. It might be said that the Communist Party, before Browder started monkeying around with it, was making gradual inroads into small intellectual ceUs among the Negroes living in such large com munities as New York City, Chica go, Detroit. I.OS Angeles. Cleve land, and Philadelphia. These intel ligent Negroes, tired of the con stant struggle against an almost iirpenetrabii- wall of prejudice and eegregatisn based on color, found in communism the state they had long sought. Indeed, and being factual, the Communist Party has to its credit many notable achievements in de fense of the Negro. One cannot for get the early days of the lule Anna Damon and Scottsboro. as well as the Angelo Herndon case, the de fiance of eviction orders on Chi cago's Southside. mass demonstra tion ut the Spokin Dres.s Factory in Chicago in pretest against "sweet shops" aiv dconditions for Negro girls working there. Similar in stances pile up in evidence of a seeming sincerity on the part of Ihe cTmmunist in actually fighting the Negro's cause. To those of u.« who lock at such things objctcively. It is apparent that the communists had a political reason in mind for diverting atten- tlo nto the Negro's cause. One rea son for rucH a stand is the fact that on all natoinal problems confront ing America, the Negro problem i.e probably the mo.st explosive. It offers opportunities for sensational developments and big-wig bankers, lawvers, and politicians usually at- tempto to stave clear of the Negro ■ inn Fven the pr.''bJem of the Jews is less cantankerous when com pared with the qiiestio.i of wheth er the Negro is to be given equal rights in the USA. Browder, by substituting the win- the-war program over the Negro qu'-stlon. undoubtedly alienated the affections of many blg-wlg-Negro leaders and some dropped out af ter publicly aoucuncing their in tentions of doing so. Among them were Richard Wright, the author of Native Son, and Angelo Hern don whose freedom from a Georgia chaingang was obtained by com- muniit activity. There were lesser Negro communists to drop by the wayside during the period that Browder was on the throne. They saw, evidently, as did Wright and Herndon, that a party not actively struggling for the liberation men tally und physically of the Ameri can Negro offered little for them as a sacrifice of identity with ma jority opinion. Before Browder the Communists went all the way on the Negro ques tion and undeniably distinguished themselves as being the only group of whites in this country who ac cepted Inter-marriage and social equality as a natural stale fot Its members, including Negroes, That is why there was such a rage of Interracial marriage Involving Ne gro men und white women sweep ing the country and confounding all the higher ups In the extreme right wing of public opinion. Browder seems to have commit ted himself to a policy of undoing all these things by changing the Communist Party line and putting the Reds behind the war. big bus iness, and other elements that the party has fought since its early days in this country- Now with William Z.
