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.
