By Clarence H. Peacock Tho colored race will never ob tain any degree of economic secu rity until they learn to discrimi nate and concentrate their buying with those companies that give them equal employment opportuni ties. Last year Colored consumers in-1 tiiscriminately spent over $2,000, 000 for toothpaste. Over $11,000,000 was spent in advertising by four of the popular j brands of toothpaste in 1936. Col gate spent $3,977,932, Ipana spent $3,476,398, Listerine spent $2,207, 372, and Pepsodent spent 31,612, 15.'. Because the Colored consumers ■did not discriminate and concen trate their buying on any particu lar brand of toothpaste, not one of these companies spent any of this $11,000,000 for advertising in the Negro Press. If the Negro buyer had concen trated his buying on just-cne of theso brands of toothpaste, the increased, sales of this brand would warrant the company Jo advertise in the Negro press and employ Ne groeg in their factories and as sales representatives. Toothpaste advertisements have influenced millions of people to brush their teeth properly and save them from decay. They have ex plained in every day language of tho people that poisons from de cayed, infected or unclean teeth can permanently impair the most vita! organs and the most remote parts of the body. Since these companies have ad vertised only ir. the white press, the colored consumers have not been getting the full benefit of the $2,000,000 spent for toothpaste. If the millions of colored peo ple would read their own pap.rs and patronize their advertis d products they would be spending their money with companies that want their patronage ard are wil ling to give tlum equal employ ment opportunities. See y:ur dentist at least twice a year. There are over 2,000 Col ored dentists in this country—pa tronize them, they need and de serve your suport. For economic security, buy only those brands of toothpaste that are advertised in your Colored newspapers.

(Calvin service) Chicago, Aug. 18 (ANP)—A serious menace to racial safety comes from those Negroes who are playing directly into Nazi and Fascist hands by staging anti .Jewish campaigns, colored and white leaders declared as the con gressional probe of un-American activities If (Jar. 'in Washington Friday with .Rep. Martin Dies Tex as Democrat as chairman In Chicago, within the recent months, an intense anti-Semitic campaign has been started by a gre up of Negroes led by the edi tor of a small giv® away weekly paper called ‘ Dynamite.” The fight was supposedly prompted by dissatisfaction with Jewish r-wners of stores and apartment buildings I on tho Southside. In recent weeks, tho editorial fight has cooled I somewhat although the editor has made anti-Jewish tirades in sever al gatherings. In order to learn whether his campaign was secretly fostered by other groups who furnished the fi nancial mean* for publication and used the editor as their mouth piece, a special investigator came hero from Washington to delve into tho matter and prepare facts for tho probe of the Dies investi gating committee. The anti-Semitic campaign a morg Chicago Negroes became so great a few weeks ago that sev eral organizations were forced to openly declare themselves net in league with it. It is understood that similar propaganda against Jews by Negroes has either start ed on varying scales or is contem plated in other heavily populated colored communities throughout tho North. That the Chicago group and any others, by so campaign, are play ing directly into the hands of the race's enemies is the opinion cf both colored and white leaders and observers. Tho world’s foremost Jew bait ers are Hitler and his Nazi co horts, with Mussolini and the Ita lians recently falling in line. Tbesa aro both fascist nations with the avowed policy of condemning every race as inferior not falling within their classification of “Ar yan ” Hitler has banned Negro music from Germany as “barbar ous,’’ barred Negro actors and p r f^rmers and took great personal pains to snub Jesse Owens and other colored athletes at the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin. No Ne gro at present may receive a de gree from a German university because, according to Hitler, the Negro is “non-Aryan and a vastly inferior race.” Mussolini, who sei zed Ethiopia has adopted similar policies in Italy. The Nazis have had actually lit tle chance to treat Negroes as they have Jews because only a very few lived in Germany. Of theso few', most have left the country either voluntarily or by request. The anti-iJewish campaign has therefore received great pub licity since millions of Jews live in Germany. Restrictions and vio lence against them are so immense that the let of the Negroes share cropper under the meanest of Sou thern planters is deemed heavenly by eoruparsion. The German-American Bund is actively fostering this anti-Jew ish campaign in the United States. Tranches of the bund have sprung up throughout the nation and ti rades against Jews mark —h meeting. The bund hope ev-..ut.l!y tc be strong enought to establish in America a nation patterned af ter Hitler’ »rm*«y -wt.M its '-pen (C »ti: ued m Page 5)
