Townsend Plans Old Age Pensions Youth For Work—Age For Leisure. A National Movement. Friends: The United States of America is sick. Sick all over, not in spots, as in former periods of depression- This time your old Uncle Samuel is dowr with a peculiar malady of a very ma lignant type- A malady from which he will not recover without heroic treatment scientifically administered. The malady afflicting the country today is an almost total loss of buy ing power on the part of the general public.

Today there are no more good farm lands unappropriated. The output oi the mines is already greater than we can absorb. There is no use to fine and open more. Without new domes tic and foreign markets our lumbering operations can not proceed. The sup ply on hand of the finished product is more than we need. Oyer production on the part of those who turn out the finished product, be cause they find no abil.ty on the part of the public to buy, under consump tion by the people for exactly the same reason—lack of ability to buy. As a consequence, general business stagnation, enforced idleness. Nearly , half the population leading a hand-to mouth existence, unable to produce, unable to exist without the aid of charity and constantly becoming a greater burden on the shoulder^ of those upon whom the load of charity falls. Our natural resources are as great as ever; there are as many willing hands to do the work; the facilities for turning out the finished products are the best that civilized man has yet produced; there is as much money in exist*.nee. Why the stagnation, where is the missing link in the chain of dis tribution ? Thepnswer is obvious. Money does not circulate. It stagnates in bank vaults and treasuries- The general public that creates all markets do not have access to it and consequently can not buy. Banks cannot loan to people who have no security nor to factories that have no market for their goods. Banks lose money. They have no in come from loans. Thus the vicious round of stagnation is made complete. Buying power must be restored to the general public before this dead lock can be broken. Throwing out gigantic scoopfuls of money from the national treasury into spots where destitution seems most intense is but to temporize with the emergency. A system of circulating money must be set up. Dependable legal machinery must be devised that will keep the money circulating after it is set going This is a true and natural function of government that has never been called into being. it will have to be done or, like former civilizations, we shall perish. THE TOWNSEND PLAN OF OLD AGE REVOLVING PENSIONS calls upon the national government to as sume this function; the function of starting and maintaining the circula tion of a large amount of actual money throughout the entire nation equally distributed as to population, benefit ting all classes alike. It demands the passage of a national law that will permit every citizen, male or female, who has attained the age of sixty years or over and who is not an ha bitual criminal, to apply for and to receive a pension of $200 per month until death upon the conditions that that he take oath to spend for com modities or services the entire amount of the pension within the confines of the United States during the current month in which it is received, and shall refrain from all remunerative or productive labor or occupation.

These two simple legisla tive acts, the one providing for the collection of the money from the re tailers of the nation at the end of every month, calculated on their gross sales, the other providing for the dis tribution of the money back into the channels of trade through the hands ! of the old folks, will obviously start the money stream and keep it flowing with an almost constant rate, since our population is now practically fixed as to numbers. There are ten million three hundred thousand people of the age of 60 and beyond, eight million of whom, at least, might be expected to apply for the pension. Many, eligible as to age, would not apply because of the de mand for their continued services in posts of importance. Many of the millions are not citizens. If eight million of those of the required age should apply it would require the cir culation of one billion six hundred mil lion dollars into the channels of trade monthy. This would immediately start a tremendous volume of buying. We have skimped and done without for four years. Retailers would soon be sold olt. Wholesalers would be called upon to restock their shelves. They in turn would call upon 'the manufac turers for a new output. All machin ery of production would be started at high speed. Workers would be called to man the machines and to distribute the goods. Jobs would again be come plentiful, made so by an intense prosperity and the elimination of the sixty-year-olds from the job-seeking field. Wages would be high. The standard of living advanced to the ap proximate level of the pay received by the retiring elders. No argument against the amount demanded for the pension can be ad vanced that will stand analysis. These elderly people have been instru mental in producing practically all the tangible wealth in evidence today. They are entitled to the use of a por tion of it sufficient to maintain them in comfortable circumstances for the remainder of their lives. Use of the money is all that they would ask, all that they could have. Passing through their hands, it would supply their needs and return at once to the local ities from whence it was collected. This steady flow of money would as sure business stability, eliminates fear as a factor against the launching of new works and enterprises and give assurance of ample opportunity to the rising generation of the young. Cost and the necessity for raising prices to meet the pension roll would be practically eliminated by the wip ing out of the expense of organized charity and much of the expense of criminality. Riches undreamed of would accrue to the nation through utilizing the wisdom and experience of the elders and their helpful activities in art, science and sociology. And finally, the true riches of humanity, joy and happiness, would displace those debasing emotions of greed, sus picion, fear and despair. Hold White Woman As Red After She’s Arrested With Negroes Birmingham, Ala., May 30(ANP)— Police this week have in custody, Elia beth Morrison a white woman of 1717 Tenth Ave., South, whom they seized while in the home of a colored family at 426 Avenue C. She is facing charges of disorderly conduct in Com munistic activities. Arrested with her were Henry Ashford, of the Ave nue C address, Ulysses Morrow and Robert Carpenter. Communistic lit erature was reported to have been con fiscated by Special Milton McDuff, who testified that he got it in Ashford’s room. , A Note to Women Xf you suffer from painful men struation every month, do this: Oat a bottle of CARDUI from the drug store.

But the things that are being brought to light prove conclusi vely that something will have to be done here in Harlem immedia tely or else, there will be more trouble. School principals testifiyng be fore the Mayor’s committee de clared that in Public school 90, the largest school in Harlem, children went hungry because the Board of Education does not sup ply enough lunches for them. Miss Louise E. Tucker, principal of the school said ihere are about 3,000 colored children in her school and is twice as large as it should be. Asked whether she could say no child under supervision went hungry, the principal replied, “I cannot. I wish to God I could.’’ Miss Tucker said that the Har lem school served 700 lunches daily, more than any other school in the city, and that they were “very good lunches” sent from the Board of Education city. But, she added, “I wish there were more. We have children who ask for them, but we cannot supply them. Continuing, Miss Tucker said. “1 think the conditions un der which the Negro children live are dreadful. But I don’t see what can be done by idle words.” scanaal Minted at Other Schools Again, in another section of the ; city, scandals concerning other j schools where girls were forced to leave because they were about To become mothers; where the principal forced colored girls to go into classes to learn to be servants; where there was an or ganized vice ring, selling mari huana ; reefers or tea as it is now called, to young girls and luring .hem from classes to houses of sin, are being bruited about with harmful results to the school and the system. Discrimination against colored children in certain schools s open ly charged, the Board of Eduea ton setting lines of demarcation prohibiting children from one district attending better schools, i This is sad to obtain even in the ; high schools and colored boys and girls have a most difficult time in getting in.o the higher grades of schools. Reliei Workers Accused of Put ting Gin in Vice Den. But by far, the most wicked story of all was .old by Merril.s C. Work, who on Saturday morn- j ing related for the benefit of the Mayor’s Committee, the s ory of | Rose Lee, former relief client. Miss Lee is said to have been taken by an iuvestigtaor to a notorious house in 121st Street, operated by a woman known in j vice circes as “Mother’’ Col1 ins 1 Here the girl was offered a job I as a prostitute. The investigator told he girl if she did not get a job she would be taken off the rolls anyway. “When Miss Lee was offered this vile proposition, i. was learn ed that Mother Collins, head of this vice den, was herself receiv ing regular payments from the Home Relief Bureau, the witness asserted. Spectators and officials at the hearing were shocked at the charge related by Mr Work, who is secretary of the Unemployment Councils of Harlem and general chairman of the Unemployment Council of New York. reserving Fail to Uet Keliet. All through the testimony of j the recent relief investigation by | the Aldermanie committee, it had been said that those in need of re lief failed to get it while outsders who were invited to come to New York to take high paying posi tions, were lording it over the un fortunates they had charge of. Not only is this time in the white circles, but in the colored relief work, there are many in stances where misuse of the relief is being practised.

He die! not wait to be thrown out—and he was unwilling to be a figure head, like the present Lilliputian King of Italy, for example. Par jadipok showed self-respect and superb shrewdness by getting out. But, alas he could not save oth er members of his family from the fate from which he rescued him self. His little nephew. 11-year old Prince Ananda, had the posi tion wished on him. A friend of mine wrote: “Royalty is cer tainly in need of some sort of Child Labor Law to protect the little royal children from this ruthless exploitation.” True enough ; this bright-eyed little bright-eyed little brown boy now has his entire future hampered, circumscribed and mostly cut-out by being a “king’' before he was able to learn to defend himself. ’When he grows up it is not likely that he will have the independ : nice and sheer guts of his little i browui uncle who ran out on his royal jailors and oppressors. Starting with a lad so young, hey may train him to submit to almost anything. By the time he becomes 50 years old, he may be as impotent and helpless as the King of Italy, or as useless an ornament as King George of Eng land. Li.tie Michael, of Boumania, i was saved from a like fate by the fact that his good-time father de cided to come back home and res cue his son, by taking up ihe burden himself/ That is at least' one thing to the credit of King Carol; he did the part of a father by that little boy. But there is ihe present boy king of Jugoslavia, who had the thing forced on him by the mur derers of his royal father, who was on avisit to France. If they had not executed or killed the as sassins for anything else .they might well have eonvincted them for what they did to this lntle child. The lad was in school in England at the time, having a normal boy’s life, with the pros pects of growing up into a normal man, before being forced into the royal straight-jacket But the bullets which ended the career of the real bread-winner of the fami ly. took away this 'ad’s future and condemned him to the Jugo slavian royal orphanage. Certainly some law ought to be enacted to protect these royal children; poor little things! WILL THEY PASS THE ANTI LYNCHING BILL? That is a question which the next few weeks will answer. If j Joe Robinson and the o.hers who! want it left on the shelf, have j their way, they will keep it off the floor of the senate, as they did last year; UNLESS THERE slum an insistent de mand THAT THEY OR ROOSE v EL f OET ANXIOUS ABOUT THE NEXT ELECTION. Much of this demand must come from the south. The southerners in congress are afraid of their ' lynching consti uents, and Presi dent Roosevelt is afraid of the Southerners in Congress, lest they ! further embarass his already em barassed New Deal. They are likely to sacrifice the Negro to the great lynching vote of the • South, and to the disreputable i oiue nagie. American patriots ought to realize that the very salvation of ' the Republic demands the cessa- ' tion of mob violence in depres- ! sion times like the present. Mobs < now may start along the color 1 line, but they pretty soon jump 1 over that line and take to plain 1 loot. That Harlem mob of Ne-j^ groes showed the true menace of : mobs how they smarted out to 1 avenge the beating, and they thought, the murder of a colored dal; but they took immediately to looting. These are hungry times. Any excuse now will serve to rescind quickly all the laws of Meunx et Teum. Mob violence shoxxld be sternly discouraged. But those politici ans are not going to pass that Costigan-Wagner Bill, as a rea sonable bit of legislation as it is, unless the people compel them to pass it. Get busy! Two Sides to Silver The Government’s present silver program contains seeds of great good; and at the same time it in volves potentialities for great damage. Wisely pursued, strengthening the value of silver can be of much aid in stabilizing world monetaiy systems. And it is likewise bene ficial in that it stimulates the long depressed mining industry, and opens up opportunities for in vestment, employment and gen eral industrial development. On the other hand, over-hasty action in forcing silver prices up inevitable brings with it the fear of inflation; which is in itself a great detriment to the course of recovery. The government ex perts have a vast responsbility in seeing to it that silver is given a fair and established value; and that the standing and worth of our currency is not imperiled in the process.

On the Air or Otherwise (By Charles Isaac Bowen for ANP) Chicago, May 30—A word or two of praise to the National Broadcasting Company in presenting over its net work a sketch “Meeetin’ House” feat uring the Southernaires and a cast of sepia actors. The series is written by a negro and you can tune it in on Friday even.ngs. It is a continuous story. The Hall Johnson Choir were guests on the Gibson Family hour last Sun day night over NBC. In the sketch they sang at the wedding of Theoplilus and Mignoette, the two colored ser vants of the Gibson family. Providing' the comedy in the full hour broadcast, Theophilus and Mig noette are played by Ernest Whitman and Gee Gee James. The Four Inkspots seem to be a reg dar part of the NBC Mjinistrels every Monday night. The boys have made luite a name for themselves in radio after returning from Europe some months ago.
