Of the manj{ h%terogeneous gro.aps which toy "pash and pull’’—*‘tu? o‘ war'* —-4fiod it posstble to survive and thus make up this homogeneous Nation the Negro group is at this time sujrveying the acefie and speculating on the events to come.' By thia time, however, the* group has learned that it has certain definite advantttires in its battle to survive, to off'set cer tain disadvante^es which are well defined and well known. First, the Negro group is the most populous of the minority t;i'oupa. It the numbers—Sa- cond, the Negrro group, by out standing achievements of its in- divifuals, is graining in respect artd prestige in the- national life. Third the Negro group, because ^of the very space it occupies, is a definite drawtback to the ad vancement of othir groupii, if other groups attempt to move a- long without It.

Of this prospect, Napoleon warned Buropc: “There lies a sleeping giant.*Let him sleep!

The despoUers of Africa suid Asia are well aware of the dfeadly menace to imperialismi inherent ip the atrug- i^e of the Chinese people for national emancipation. ^ It would be impoasible to overestimate the importance of Cniaa iir world politics and in relation to the future of all maiAji?d.

There' are exceptions to sB' rules, and it is very likely that Governor Aiken conaldfiifd ex ceptions of merit as headvocated a housecleaning of the ranks of the party, especially as concerrs those committeemen c o m in g from the South. One of these ex ceptions may rightfully and prop, erly be the committeemen from Tennes—Congf^ssman J. W; Taylor. Committeeman Taylor argue that Negroes read tbeir their papers more than they read the Negro papers. Sut we -have three newspaper organizations you vrill not wonder that no otJier person of that barborous eommu- rity would dare tell what the boys were really lynched fot. now with a weekly circulation of|jjg^i,y j cannot tell even the over 100,(K)0. s|nd that i& ample; j gou^^rn interrtucial eommisrfnon proof that tjje Negro press has readera. With further strength ening of the editorial content, and more vigorous civic and eco nomic attitudes, it will finally be impossible for White newspapers to cliam THiEY represefit ub, and then our papers will gut the busi ness that rightfully goes with the circulation. The Negro group finds, how ever, that it is weak on general ship, on strategy, on maneuver ing. TfcTs'is its greatest weak ness, for other groups; with far less n«mbers; because of th- 'f geneialshipi, gain far more of the benefits of life and living.
