SEEING WHITE By A. B- Mann (For The. Literary Service Bureau) Often we hear the expression, j “thinking white,” which means j thinking as a white man would think-; It is questionable whether this, is a i thing of which to boast or not, since j the v erst destructiveness, in dia-, » bolieal inventions, in literature ef fective in inciting immorality and crime i- traceable to the brain of the white man. Moreover, examination of the brain, its structure and func tions, will demonstrate that in it are no racial difference. If a black man should write a book or supply some other literary composition; *if he, should deliver an address or sing a song; in these there could be found no difference, as compared with the productions of white men of the same class- this supports the contention that these differences are cultural and circumstantial rather than fund amental. Queer thing, this “seeing white!” (To be continued.) LOOKING BACK By Videtta Ish INSISTING ON OBEDIENCE (For the Literary’ Service Bureau) A little boy of three years likes music- He wants to bang on Lhe piano all through the day- I was a guest in the home and did not try to conceal the fact that this banging annoyed me- When this child would climb up on the stool, at the piano, father or mother would say mildly, “Johnnie, get down and go away from the piano-” "But I want to play,” the child would counter. Per haps the mother would say, “But mother is nervous and can’t stand the noise.” The child would wait per haps three minutes and start again A little girl of the same family had roller skates. She’d wear them in the house to the detriment of the carpet. Her father would say, “I told you not to wear those skates in the house-” The child would cease skat ing but keep the skates on- Then, af ter a few moments, she’d start again. In each of these two instances the child would watch the parent in be ginning the thing forbidden. As I look back I remember that on the part of parents there was no such temporizing—and no such disobed ience. Term “War Between The States” Used in Govern ment Press Release. WASHINGTON, January 22—(C NS)—“If the South is not in the sad dle at least some unreconstructed re bels are in control of some of the press releases issued by the Depart ment of the Interior,” says one well known newspaper correspondent. He calls attention to the fact that the designation “Civi War” has been dis placed for the use of the pet term of the Daughters of the Confederacy “War between the States,” as shown by the following paragraph taken from a press release dated January 16, 1934: “A special program of development for the Vicksburg Military Park, where one of the most important campaigns of the War between the States occurred in 1862 and 1863, is being planned by a staff of historical technicians working in cooperation with the landscape staff of the Of fice of National Parks- The object of this program is to present to visitors a complete story of the great mili tary operations that took place in this part of the South when the Un ion Armies spent more than a year advancing on and besieging Vicks burg in an effort to divide the Con federacy and reopen free navigation from St- Louis to the sea- Their ob ject was accompished on July 4, 1863, when the Vicksburg garrison surrendered to General U. S- Grant, the day following General Lee’s de feat at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.” CUBA MAY HAVE A NEGRO PRESIDENT WASHINGTON, January 23—(C NS)—Sporadic revolutions- in Cuba may finally end in the. Cuban Repub lic having a Negro president What the United States would do in this event is problematical, be cause the administration of Grau, who resigned a few days ago, and who was succeeded by Carlos Hevia, 37-year-old Annapolis graduate, was j never recognized by the State De- j pai'tment The man who it is thought will be catapulted into the presidency as the result of another military coup, is Fulgencio Batista, once a sergeant, now chief of staff and head of the army. The fact is that Batista has been the power behind the throne since the hurried exit of Machado to Canada via Philadelphia. What makes the probability of a Negro president for Cuba more intri guing is the fact that Batista is an avowed Communist, and may at tempt to make Cuba the first Soviet state in the western hemisphere Meanwhile, the United States is taking no chances, additional war ships and Marines having been order ed out for duty in the troubled is land. “KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES”__ __ A1’3 Econon.y Is Waited I % / - t. amd Rjrm-*ERMO;c.s., b spaghetti is ons r C?
