UTolrp Owners of Tenants (Continued From Page 1) pram to suceed. The United States will noti lose one penny. It will not for years to come be necessary to consider the breaking up of large landed states by process s of law The federal government can now buy vast averages of cleared and uncleared fertile land at reasonable prices, based on earnings and pro ductive value. Resale should be made to purchasers at cost, with a small charge to cover adminstra tive expenses ” He added there was no legal way to compel a landlord to pay fixed wages or to accept a fixed share of the crop produced. Gov. Futrell was apparently in fluenced in his talk and charge to the commission to face facts and see things as they really are by a 20 page pamphlet distributed to all 57 members immediately before the meeting began by the inter racial Southern Tenant Farmers union which gave a 10 point sol ution for the problem. W. L- Blacks time of Wynne, a whit sharecropper nod father of 10 children, who said he was the official representative of the union, didn’t think highly of the federal aid as proposed by the Bankhead Jones bill “This bill is fine, but we are just 75 years too late in taking basic remedies," he sa d. “Wr will just get from one but to another until mutual respect and harmony is restored among people involved. Arkansas has. thousands of tenants who may newer be reached by the Bankhead bill. “The fr; t principle of the nation is confidence and respect. Cl a: s involved in the sharecropper pro blem are going to have to come together and cooperate- We have lost confidence in each other as we have lost respect.” Blacks tone also said there was enough rich land in Arkansas to give every man a good farm on which to make a decent ' living There is no incentive for the av erage tenant to buy his ’land be cause “so many small farm own ers lose their property.” According to J. 0 E.. Bek, one of the largest cotton farmers in east Arkansas, “It’s going to take a long time program of education and supervision to solve the situ ation- Nothing can be done as long as the planter ‘cusses’ he tenant and th« tenant ‘cusses’ the planter with night meetings going on and all his outside publicity-” Children of sharecroppers can be educated to be landowners and bus iness men, Beck said, adding, “More can be done through such a pro gram than with those who have always been sharecroppers- I con not see much to bp done with the present .sharecropper other than to give him a helping hand and to help him to his feet-” Major proposals put before the commission called for a federal far ownership program, unioniza tion of field laborers, industrial development of the south, revision of educational systems, low cost housing and subsistence gardens, treatment of energy-sapping dis eases, and farm mechanization The commisssion allowed 10 days for filing specific proposals to be studied by a committee and acted on at subsequent sessions. Futrell said definite ideas were wanted about a plan, both state and national- An all-southern con ference is to be held later While the commission held its session, a county grand jury and a federal grand jury were meeting at Litjtle Rock to investigate char ges of peonage in eastern Arkan sas, site of the recent strike mark ed by voilence, the disappearance of at least one Negro farmer, Frank Weems, and the flogging of a white minister and a social work er.

This year I have been asked by colored groups and indiv iduals and by organizations to ad vise them and I look upon this privilege of advising my colored friends as a very serious responsi bility ” Colonel Little says he “fully subscribes” to the statement is sued by Governor Landon through Church THE ROOSEVELT ELECTORS Much has been written and said concerning the organiza ion known as the National Council of Roosevelt Electors. Its I urpose, however, has been sadly neglected in the public prints ther than it was formed to help raise the funds for the national arapaign for the reelection of Franklin T). Roosevelt. In these days of political strife and claims of rival candr ; lates we hear much of contributions to the major party cam- \ paigns. What is often forgotten in these aunouncments is the act that city, county and state orgnizations receive the bulk of unds donated by private citizens to aid what they believe to e a just cause. To the Democratic National Committee usually o the crumbs which fall from the political table, somtimes not ven these. It was with this thought m mind that the Council of Roose elt electors was founded, believing that through it individuals /ho appreciated the courageous accomplishments of President Joosevelt could do their bit to keep him in the White House, throughout the nation, state, county and local chairmen have een appointed to perfect the organization of the Roosevelt lectors. Their work is simple enough although the effort must be reat. Every man and woman interested in seeing the president •eelected next month will be asked to do his or her bit. Their ontributions, as a whole, will bo small but they nevertheless /ill be representative of the voters who well realize the national ampaigns have legitimate expenses. It is not a call to the colors for the DuPonts and the Rock fellers, but rather presents itself as an opporunity for the lit le fellows whom Roosevelt has helped to show their apprecia ion.—By C. F.
