-3^----r #STEN TO THIS— — (by Frank Marshall Davis for ANP) Bugeno Kinckle Jones All hail to Eugene Kinele Jones, ft-: years old on January 30. As tiu children s'ng on ?u h occasion * HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU." For a lifetime of effective and devoted service to the fellow mem bers of his race, for an example of fine Americanism and good ci fliKenship, wo doff our hats in com plement to this eulterei gentleman. For years Mr. Jones contributed much of the energy which made the National Leagu® for Urban Condi tions the efficient agency that it proved to be. Under his direction it undertook the task of guiding into tho best channels the great flood of emigration which in recent years has been running from South to North. It sought and found jobs for thousands; it pried open doors to tho colored man which had al ways been closed; it faced pre judice and did much to delay it; it helped tho colored man to see his own faults and correct them; to enter a new evironment and not be overwhelmed by it. Tho scie-nce of engineering lost an able practitioner and a brilliant scholar when Jones turned his back on that profession to make service •to his fellow man his life work. Per haps if he hod been less a scholar engineering still would have claim ed him. For it was at the end of the school year at Cornell during the examination period, that he decided to abandon his chosen ca reer. His work for th® first year had been of such caliber that he had been exempted from the test taking, and had time to cogitate on thu future. His cogitations led to tho decision which has meant so much to the Negro people. [ His parents were in comfortable I cireuiw'tanees, his father was a I professor of theology and his mot-j i it v a musician and teacher of mu- j j sic. He received a good elementary! i education in northern schools, grad- j ! uated from Wgiuia Union Ciol lego at Richmond, Virginia, and I continued through to his master's ! ! degrt’o at Cornell. His love for ma I thematic* led him to the engineer I ing college, but love of his race i proved tho greater. | All of which reminds one of i tho word of our Lord, “THE GREATEST AMOUNG YOU SHALL BE THE SERVANT OK j ALL." * * * Mr. Jones address is—National ] Urban League, 1133 Broadway, i New York City, N.

Here are a couplu of the important jrara graphs. Notice what he says about Negro and white soldiers, “I know as fully as one can know tho opinions of others, that some of tho commanders of our armies in the field, who have given us | our most important victories, be- ( lievo tho emancipation policy and tho aid of colored troops constitute tho heaviest blows yet dealt to the' rebellion, and that at least one of! theso important successes could not have been achieved when it was j but for "the aid of black soldiers.; Among the commanders holding! theso same views are some who have never had any affinity with what is called abolitionism, or with republican party politics; but who bold them purely as military opin ion. I submit their opinion as be ing entitled to some weight against tho objection often urged that emancipation an arming the blacks aro unwise as military measures, and were not adopted as such in good faith.” “You say you will not fight to free Negroes. Some of them seem willing to fight for you, but no mat ter. Fight you then exclusively to save tho union. I issued the pro clamation on purpose to aid you in saving the Union. Whenever you shall have conquered all resistance to the Union, if I shall urge you to continue fighting, it will he an apt time for you to declare that you will not fight to free Negroes. I thought that, in your struggle for the Union, to whatever extent tho Negroes should cease helping tho'enemy, to that extent it weak ened the enemy in his resistance to you? Do you thing differently? I| thought that whatever Negroes can bo got to do as soldiers leaves just s6 much less for white soldiers to do in saving the Un'on. Does it appear otherwise to you? Bu. Negroe liko either people act upon motives. Why should they do any I thin), lW t: if we will do not in" for U em?
