Oxley Sees Hope For
Race; Must Agitate
Hampton Institute, Va., July
24, ANP—“Now when, the disin
herited are frist coming into their
own in the United States is the
time for the Negro to bestir him
self in his own behalf. It is now |
when there are 18 million whites1
on relief along with 3 million Ne
groes that the Negro and the
white man first feel common eco
nomic bond of sympathy.’ ’
These sentences express the
keynote of the speech of Lieut.
Lawrence A- Oxley, Chief, Divi
sion of Negro Labor, United
States Department of Labor,
given at Hampton Institute,
Hampton, Virginia on Monday.
Mr. Oxley traced the position
of the Negro in America from the
first slave ship to the present day,
showing that it has been one
which has become gradually bet
ter. But in spite of this progress
of the Negro, Mr. Oxley felt that
there were racial barriers and so
cial barriers which were insur
mountable until the economic
crisis had forced white men in'
to underprivileged positions and
thus developed a common sym
pathy among the underprivileged
and a realization among all so
ciety of a responsibility for the
disinherited.
It is true, Mr. Oxley said, that
the Negro has suffered the brunt
of the depression. As in the case
of most minority groups, he has
been the first to lose his job, and
has suffered increasing racial
displacement. But, at least Mr.
Oxley feels that a new racial un
derstanding has been reached and
the way cleared for advancement
for the Negro in the future.
\Already new opportunities ap
pear upon the scene for all un
derprivileged groups. The ad
ministration has declared the
fundamental right of all men,
black and white to work, and has
set aside $4,880,000 for this pur
pose. Before the depression, be
fore the present administration,
the American social mind was in
no way cognizant of the necessity
of maintaining the morale of the
Negro in such a maimer,” Mr.
Oxley said- The speaker closed
by mentioning the representation
of the Negro in the present ad
ministration and of the benefits
to be derived from the new
Works Administration and the
National Youth Administration
if the Negro wil bestir himself,
will agitate in his own behalf.
Says White Man Hired
Them to Kill

Charles and John Harrison, who

ville for safekeeping following
their arrest for the murder of

stigator of the crime
The two men were brought

few days ago over a land line.

Send Harlem Delegate
to League of Nations
to Protest War
New York.— (CNA) — Mussolini’s
arrogant assumption of the role of
Ethiopia’s “cultiva'ior”, with the open
and tacit agreement of France, Great
Britain and America was effectively
countered by the Provisional Commit
tee for Defense of Ethiopia, 355 Len
ox Avenue, at its last meeting on July
8th.
With the majority of the commit
tee’s 36 affiliates present, a five-point
program was adopted for an interna
tional fight against the imperialist
ring now being welded around the
la:t remaining independent country
in Africa.
The most important and dramatic
step taken was the decision to send
a delegate to the League of Nations.
A send off meeting for the delegate,
who will be named soon by the exec
utive committee, will be held in Har
lem on July 31st. The delegate is to
carry thousands of signatures signed
to a petition now being circulated by
the committee.
Reject Anti-Icemen Fight
The discussion on the boycott move
ment resulted in the rejection of the
fight against Italian icemen in Har- |
Iem. The turning point came when
two delegates, representing the U. N.1
I. A. and the L. S. N1 R., pointed to
the ineffectiveness of such a cam
paign. Both urged the boycott of
Italian imports and ships as a means
of directly slowing down finances and
materials to the Italian war machine.
A sharp statement signed jointly by
the Committee and the American
League Against War and Fascism
reads in part:
"The attempt of Mussolini, with
aid of other powers, to partition
Ethiopia and steal the source of the 1
Rfue Nile is a continuation of the .
robber game practiced for centur-1
ies against the African peoples and
their descendenis in other coun
tries.
“We pledge to arouse the Ne
groes and all anti-war sympathiz
ers against this open violation of
Ethiopia’s sovereign rights in this |
predatory war.”
Mussolini may have chuckled at re-;
ceiving the President’s message,
amounting to tacit agreement with
hs plans. But he has yet to deal with
the sentiment of Negroes and Amer
ican anti-fascists. The Provisional
I Committee has seen to it that he
comes in contact with the latter.

Young Grad Honored
by Fisk University
Amost recent and deserved!
recognition by Fisk university j
has come to one of the members
of the class of 1935 in the ap
pointment of Mr. L- Howard Ben

team; was made head'waiter of
the dining hall waiters and chief
usher for Commencement, and
thereafter for all public functions
on the Fisk University campus
until his senior year when he had
to give up some of his extra dut
ies on account of such a heavy
schedule.
In his sophomore year he con
ceived the Five-Point Plan to en
courage campus improvements,
more Fisk spirit on the campus,
and to promote better under

Virtue Its Own Reward
By R. A. Adams
(For the Li'erary Service Bureau)
There is a wealth of truth in the
axiom, “Virtue is its own reward.”
Virtue means goodness, character,
life- It is the “white light” of char
acter; it is the sum of character val
ues composed of various separate
items. It is the interger of godness
involving and including all of its ele
mental constituents. The meaning
of the adage is that the benefits
which it brings, the blessings which
it bestows, and the satisfaction which
it affords are ample compensation
for efforts required in the attain
ment and exercise of virtue.
Honesty, truthfulness, sympa' hy,
justice, equity, tolerance, mercy,
pity, humility, simplicity, are con
stituent elements of virtue, For the
possession and the practice of these
the world offers but little considera
tion, but always virtue has supplied
its own compensation in richness of
life, approval of conscience and in the
joy of sacrificial service yes, as sin
brings its own punishment, virtue
brings its own reward.
Sentimental
Reciprocity
By R, A. Adams
.(For the Literary Service Bureau)
Are you Shylock, making de
mands
Exacting, at another’s hands?
Do you a fellowman oppress,
Coming to you in deep distress?
Are you a selfish pharisee,
Crying i npride, “Come, look on
■me,
And in my presence lowly bow.
For I am ’holier than thou?"
Are you unsympathetic, cold.
When ills of others you behold?
Are you unmoved by piteous
cry.
And “on, the other side, pass
by?”
Girlty of hese are you? Be
ware !
If you will not with others
share.
Misfortune, sorrow, grief, and
min,
You too for such wil plead in
vain!
So. if you covet sympathy,
In hour of you adversity,
Thoughiless o f circumstance
or creed,
Go minister to human need.

The Pot and the Kettle
The adage is, “The pot cannot
call the kettle black,” meaning it
would be foolish for the pot, black
itself, to call another thing black.
The adage is given in rhyfe, thus:
“Said Jack to the kettle: You
blackened old metal,
Now you ought to be bright; Pray
get out of my sight!”
Said the kettle to Jack: Which
of us is more black?
You the pot, I’m the kettle; ’tis a
hard thing to se Itle.
The meaning of this is plain. One
who is in the same class with an un
fortunate has no right to accuse an
other and ridicule him. It is like!
the other saying that “a man who
lives in a glass house should never
throw a etone. There is no need

ALTA VESTA
A GIRL’S PROBLEMS
By Videtta Ish
(For The Literary Service Bureau)
To Alta Vesta, Freji Her Father
Dear Alta Vesta: I enjoyed your
letter and it gave me great comfort.
f am glad you have so much confi
dence in your father’s judgment. I j
do want you to comply wi h my 1
wisher, and accept my decisions, not
;rcm fear, but from love- I want
you to do this or that because you
love me, just as I would do for you
or refrain from hurting you, because
COULD NOT DO HER
HOUSEWORK
WHEN every
** thing you at
tempt is a burden
—when you are
nervous and irri
table—at your
wit’s end—try
this medicine. It
may be just what
you need for extra
energy. Mrs. Charles L. Cadmus of
Trenton, New Jersey, says, "After
doing just a little work 1 had to lie
down. My mother-in-law recom
mended the Vegetable Compound.
I can see a wonderful change now.”
I love you. You are a wonderful
girl and I love you more and more.
Now, my child, coming to your
Ea.iter requests, I am glad to be able
to give you all tha you need, and I
am willing to do so. But I do not
wan ; to encourage you to buy just to
have something new, or just be
cause some other girl has some
thing new. To buy what is no<t
needed is extravagance and this is the
irause of much of the suffering in the
world, today. Then, it is wrong to
waste when there are ; o many
people in need and actually suffering.
It is not the Christian spirit to act
selfish, in tha i way. Think se
riously of these matters, and if you
really need these things you shall
have them.
Before closing, I would a:fk if you
have thought of the origin of East
er, and if you understand in any way
its significance. You see Dear, the
jpeqple of today make much of
Easter in a material way. They
buy new things and make a big show,
bu i the tendency of the world is to
forget that it is a religious celebra
tion commerorating an event which
,meant and still means too much to
the world. I shall explain more ful
ly, later.
Wjth abundance of love to you and
to Aunt Cornelia,
Your Loving Father.
