HUNGER DRAWS THE MAP |
j |
A food map of Europe today shows
jot a single country In which the fu
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only a small part which
Is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of (he
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu
mulated on the farms, there Is famine
in the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand In a different rela
tion from the otiier nations to the l>eo
ple of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their Increased
after-the-wnr needs, which, with those
of Serbia, must be Included in this
plan, are urgent in tbe extreme and
must have Immediate relief.
The gratitude of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest ap|teal for us to continue our
work there. The moment the German
armies withdrew from her soil and she
was established once more in her own
seat of government the little tuition's
first thought was to express her grati
tude to the Commission for Relief In
Belgium for preserving the lives of
millions of her citizens.
Germany, on tile other hand, neeil
not figure In such a mop for Ameri
cans because there is no present indi
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem If she Is*
given access to shipping and Is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou
ble centers.
England, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, all of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient fisid to meet Immediate
needs, but their fututre pre#ents seri
ous difficulties. The same is true of
Spain and the northern neutral coun
tries— Norway, Sweden and Denmark
—whose ports have been open and wljo
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.
Most of Russia Is already In the
throes of famine, and 40.000,000 people
there are beyond the possibility of
help. Before anotiier spring thou
sands of them inevitably must die.
This applies as well to Poland and
practically throughout the Baltic re
glons, with conditions most serious In
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumanla and
Montenegro have already reached ' the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
loll of dealh. The Armenian popula
tion Is falling each week ns hunger
takes Its toll, and In Greece, Albania
and Roumanla so serious ure the food
shortages that famine Is near. Al
though starvation Is not yet Imminent,
Italy, Swli/.errand, Bulgaria and Tur
key are in the throes of serious strin
gencies.
In order to ftillill America's pledge
In world relief we will have to export
every ton of food which can he han
dled through our ports. This means at
the very least n minimum of 20,000,000
tona compared with 6,000.000 tons pre
war exports and 11,820,000 tons ex
ported Iasi year, when we were hound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we full to lighten the black spots
on the hunger map or If we allow any
portions lo become darker the very
peace for which we fought and hied
will he threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should Mils
happen we will see in other parts of
Europe a repetition of the Russian de
bacle and our light for world peace
will have been In vain.
Aims and Achieve
ments of N. A. A. C. P.
An Address Delivered by Mrs. James
<i. Jewell Before the Forum Held in
St. John’s A. M. E. Church Sunday
Afternoon, December 1.
SINCE the end of the civil war,
from time to time, there have been
numerous organizations started in this
country, some by sincere race men
and women, who have been earnestly
desirous of doing something worth
while to better the condition of the
American Negro. Some of these or
ganizations have .been national in
their scope—others purely local. All
have helped in some respects, the
condition of the Negro—but it was not
until 1909, when Miss Mary White
Ovington and one or two other inter
I osted white people, incensed and out
raged as a result of the Springfield
I riots, met a number of our most rep
| resentative Negroes in New York and
| formed this Association on the one
| hundredth anniversary of the birth
; of Abraham Lincoln, that as a race
j we have had a really effective organ
ization, working for the black man of
i America. A great deal of literature
i has been sent out by the N. A. A. C.
! P. concerning its aims and achieve
I ments.
“It conceives its mission to be the
completion of the work which the
■ great emancipator began. It proposes
: to make 12,000.000 Americans physi
cally free from peonage, mentally free
J from ignorance, politically free from
disfranchisement, socially free from
j insult.”
It is a most democratic organiza
tion—anyone white, black, red or yel
low, who is interested in equal rights
for the Negro, is eligible to member
! ship. The N. A. A. C. P. believes
American citizens white and black
must organize and fight together for
the full rights of all native bom
Americans. It has been most fortun
ate in having the co-operation of
white men and women of wealth, posi
tion and prestige, governors of sev
eral states, eminent jurists, prominent
professional, literary and business
men. Let us review briefly what
this Association aims to do, and then
what has been accomplished in the
nine years of its existence.
1 Negroes in many states are dis
franchised, discriminated against, Jim j
Crowed, lynched, denied equal protec
tion of the laws, equal educational
advantages for their children and
equal econopiic opportunities. The
N. A. A. C. P. proposes:
1. To abolish legal injustice against
Negroes.
2. To stamp out race discrimina
tion.
3. To prevent lynchings, burnings
and torturing of black people.
4. To secure to every citizen of
color, the common rights of American
citizenship.
5. To compel equal accommodations
in railroad travel, irrespective of
color.
6. To secure for Colored children
an equal opportunity to public school
education, through a fair apportion
ment of educational funds.
Let us now see what measure of
success has been achieved by the N.
A. A. C. P. during the past nine years.
1. It assisted in the fight in state
and U. S. courts against the grand
father clause of various state laws,
and certain state constitutions by
which it was sought to disfranchise
Colored men by indirection, until in
1915 the U. S. supreme court, declared
the grandfather clause of the state
of Oklahoma unconstitutional. The
briefs in this case were filed by Mr.
Moorfield Story, president of the N,
A. A. C. P, and an eminent lawyer of
national reputation, who could have
commanded a fee of not less than
$100,000 for his work in a like case,
but who gave his services gratis to
help the American Negro.
2. It fought in several cities segre
gation ordinances, by which it was
attempted to create a Negro ghetto,
invariably in the least sanitary and
most undesirable sections of the city,
until in 1917 in the Louisville case,
there was obtained upon an appeal,
an unanimous decision of the supreme
court of the U. S. declaring all such
ordinances unconstitutional. Mr.
Story also acted as counsel for this
case.
3. It fought Jim Crow laws in
the state courts, where enacted and
carried on campaigns in various cities
and states of the country.
4. It successfully prosecuted many
suits to secure the civil rights of Col
ored people against unjust and illegal
1 discriminations, and promoted civil
tights laws in state legislatures.
5. It organized opposition to seg
regation of Colored employees in gov
ernment departments, and upheld the
rights of Colored civil service em
ployees against discrimination, be
cause of color, and the right to fair
consideration of Colored persons, elig
ible to civil service appointments.
6. It worked agarn t discrimination
in employment because of color, and
defended the rights of the Negro to
equal pay* for equal work.
7. It carried on a successful cam
paign for an officers’ training camp
for Colored soldiers (678 Negro offi
cers were commissioned) and for
equal treatment of Negro soldiers in
the national service.
8! It raised an anti-lynching fund
of $10,000 to investigate lynchings
and mob violence, to give publicity to
the facts regarding them, and to edu
cate public opinion favorable to law
and order.
9. It made special investigations,
and published the facts, of lynchings
and mob violence in various cities and
states and published “Notes on lynch
ing in the U. S.” (1912), and will
shortly publish an account of 100 cases
of recent lynchings in the U. S.
10. It also organized mass meet
ings against lynching, and for edu
cational purposes in New York and
other cities, also engaged counsel to
defend Colored men unjustly accused
of "meeting to riot” in the East St.
Louis outrage when Negroes were
driven from their homes, killed and
their property destroyed.
11. It defeated many bills in con
gress, which if passed, would have
been unjust and humiliating to Ne
groes.
12. It fought against moving pic
ture plays, which like the “Birth of
Nation,” engender race hatred and
tend to imperil national unity.
13. It published monthly the Crisis
a record of the darker races, andjias
consistently encouraged talent among
Colored people in every field of en
deavor. It has also published and
circulated many pamphlets on the
status of the American Negro, and
on the problems with which he is con
f ronted.
14. Since January, 1917, it has
maintained a field secretary for or
ganization and educational work,
among both races, also furnished a
free news service on the work of the
Association, and the proyess of Col
I l .
ored people, to the general and Col
ored press of the nation. It has also
promoted lecture tours for members
of its board of directors, in impor
tant cities of the country, and has
organized more than 100 branches
throughout the country, which have
done remarkable work for our people
in their localities.
15. The N. A. A. C. P. has awarded
annually since 1915, through a gift
of the chairman of the board of di
rectors, the Spingam medal for the
highest or noblest achievement by an
American Negro, during the preced
ing year.
Finally the N. A. A. C. P. has ap
pealed to the conscience of the Amer
ican people for justice for the Negro.
It has not asked for immunity from
the common burdens of citizeaship;
it has on the contrary urged only
that he be allowed equally to partici
pate in the American heritage. When
he has sinned it has not been asked
for pardon; when he offends it cares
for him but justice. It has spoken
for a race that they might have life
and have it more abundantly, and the
only means that can be employed are
education, organization, agitation,
publicity—the force of an enlightened
public opinion.
You have heard what this wonder
ful organization hopes to do—you
have seen what it has already done,
and what it is doing day by day—
will you—here in Omaha help the N.
A. A. C. P. to grow?
