AotorOiiig to news corre'ipondoiK c pub
hslK'd in last week’.! i&«ue of this paper,
there is “in'-ide informtition” that I’reei
r'lCnt Truman wiM nut be a candidate for
re-eleetlon in 1918. Mow authentic this
“jfi.nide dope" is is of course hijrhly proU-
Iciiiaiical. uuttc aside from the fact that if
il i.s true any number *f thin^.s could hup
pen to ehatiKe the picture between now
and nomination and election time.
Bui it Heems defimtey true tiiat right
uow the American pwiple are pretty .sure
they wouldn't want uiiothei four years
of Truman. At the end of his first year
ill the White House he ha.s sucyivded in
establLshiiiK the feeling among the major
ity of Americans that he is doing the best
ha can. But the people seem to be con
vinced by now that his he.st is not good
enough. His willing and con.'uuentious
feet seem to rattle around in Uooseveh's
shoes. A good, kind, dutiful man, a man
of views more hberal than even his friends
expected. .Mr Truman has demonsirated
what was fe.ared by many: that he was
iackiiiK in the abilities .tiid qualities need
ed at this time by a ciiief execuliNe of
the greatest ana mosi diffiiuli'lu-manage
going eoiu'crn in the world — the t'liited
State.s.
.Nobody hale.s Truman. On the contrary
most people are sympathetic toward hint,
ife Ls w'idely regarded as a man who hed
thrust on him a job he didn’t ask for and
didn't w-ant. He has not measured up to
Hie demands of the job, but has no alter
native but to stick il out. He is beginning
to look like the pitcher who is being hat
ted al over the lot. but who mu.d .stay in
until the inning iaovei.
The people will he tolerant toward him.
They will continue to accept his po.sition.
but they will not look to hii.i for real dy
namic leadership: not because he is en
tirely devoid of ability, hut bccaute' he
hjus failed to imspire peope with a desire
to follow him.

Aa I iirtik back over the yeura I have been trying to orient my
px'pb- in me field of the piuctieui aru and as 1 see (he criticism*
leveled at me and my (Mint of view; and as 1 see the im|>enduig
. « iroqble* that are lieen to bv> visited u(>on this country in
general and the Nt-gMiex in paiticuiar. 1 am bteutmng inore and
iiHU'e pioud of being ealied t.he "Gloomy Dean."
From the first 1 have only been supremely interested m the
piecariou* economic structure of Negro life. The precai lousnexr
ul thu slrueturt- is by no inearo removed. Nu answers have yet
been found for the fundamental uueHtiuns propounded 20 years
ago, namely, what are w going to dti when the lowly while man
lake* over jobs made by the white man and for the white ir n?
1 have accordingly advocated a deeper mterest m technical e .u-
cation. But to date the .Negro iniert-st in this tyix- of education
t>a« been ralhii casual and in far tut many ca- -s downright in-
diffeixnt Ui hostile.
With industrial tiainmg receiving greater and greater emphasis
.n the field of education fur the white*, und with the greater und
griater .ndustrialization of the south und nation, tt takes no pr«>-
Itecoiiiing, Tf xcuse Uiut there are no first-class technical schooli
fui .Negioes I «>■ s not register It there hud been as inse^'teni demand
phei to ee nt.w important the matter of technical t'ducation la
lor techna ■! tiainmg as there has been for training m the liberal
arts wt- w>.4.d have gotten school the same- way we gut liberal
art sch(x>ls In education aa in (rings economic the dema..d must
precede the supply.
One of the major reasons why Negroes do not have a more
superior brand of tt-chnical achoola is the casual demand for these
.-chools. Nor is the argument that t.ht job offerings on the technical
level for Negrueti too limited, convincingly valued. During the war

.Nobody wanted to be dubbt-d the "Gloomy Dean." Everybody
wanted to be called a .‘rare fighter;" and trying to |>opularue in
dustrial and technical education is one of the poorest ways to
Uc ne a 'popular leader." We have learned to bitterly resist
the politxal and social encroachments of the white man. This is
one of the finest symptoms of Negro life. But we should not be
blinded in the meantime to the exigency that exists in the wor’d
ol jt»b-getting. It was here that Negro leadership made its most
mi»i I able mistakes. It is one that is going to cost us dearly in the
ciitaal tunes to come.
