MOBILIZE NEGROES’ BEST
MINDS
by A. Philip Randolph
Because of the tragic and dread
ful hour of crisis through which the
world and America are passing, Ne
groes, along with all minority groups
are troubled and bewildered. In very
truth, they are distressingly unwitting
of their way.
Myriad, complex, difficult and
dangerous problems confront and
challenge them.
What is to be clone; is tne ques
tion on millions ctf tongues. What is
to be done about the relationships of
the Negro people, in Africa, the West
Indies and these United States, to the
present war? Does it mean anything
to them whether the Battle of Britain
is won or lost by England or Germany,
and if so, what? What effect would
the sweep of totalitarian dictatorships
over Europe have upon the future for
tunes of the black men in the world
Assuming that the world, Europe
and America, will not be the same
when peace comes? What of Negro
labor, if totalitarian barter supplants
the bourgeois-democratic gold stand
ard as the world’s system of exchange?
Can the modern trade union movement
survive under a barter economy?
What will be the effect upon the Ne
gro, the first fired and the last hired,
in competition with European slave-la-#
bor standards?
But today, here in our own land,!
what is to be done by the Negro on the
movement of national defense ? Should
Negroes seek to be integrated into ev
ery phase of this plan, or not? Should
Negroes oppose universal, compulsory
military training? If so, why and how?
If not, what should be clone about it?
What is to be done about organiz
ed labor? Should Negroes support, or
oppose, the American Federation of
Lab A' or the Congress of Industrial
Organization, or support, or oppose
both?
Should Negroes support,, or op
pose, legislation to outlaw trade unions
that ban Negro membership?
What have the Communists dor/e
for, or against, the Negro, and why?
Is Fascism, Communism and Naz
ism a promise, or a menace, to the Ne
gro people and the darker races?
Are there arty movements f,r
Negro liberation that should be whol
ly under Negro leadership, control and
financial support. If so, why, and if
not, why not?
What do the tendencies of the
centralization apd decentralization of
federal government contrjol over edu
cation, relief and political problems
mean to Black America? ?
How will the European refugee
affect the Negro? What, if anything,
should be done about it?
What of the rise of anti-Semitism
among the NegflO people? What is its
cause and cure?
These are hut a few of the ques
tions that clamor for an answer from
thd Negro people. What are the ans
wers? Who knows?
These questions suggest problems
that cannot be settled by snap judge
ment. The answers can only come as
a result otf calm, dispassionate inquiry
and discussion, and the discussion must
be conducted by the best minds in the
race. They are question^ of theory
and practice. Without a broad, clear,
theoretical understanding of modern
social forces, world revolutionary mov
ements, right, center and left, capital
ist, Fascist, Nazist, Socialist, trade un
ion and Communist, corrct action is
impossible.
But the answers must be given.
They will not wait. Upon these answ
ers, the fate of Negro America de
pends. When, and how', should the Ne
gro people approach them?
I suggest a small conference of the
best minds of the Negro people to face
these issues and present their conclus
ions and findings. This should not be
a delegate conference, but just a confer
ence of persons who can think theoret
ically about the aforementioned ques
tions, upon a basis of knowledge, ex
perience and devotion to the well-being
of the Afro-Americans.
Negroes today need guidance.
They need intelligent direction. Their
leadership need a broad, universal
kr|owled|ge and unquestioned' honesty
and cdurage.
They need more light and less
heat, more of the luminary and less of
the thermal rays. Albeit, the problems
We must gapple with are not simple.
The main and basic troubles of the
Negro today arise on account of the
i lack of understanding as fty what is to
be done, what to support and what to
oppcjse. The leadership lacks a solid
grounding in the theoretical founda
tictfis of the movements that are shap
ing human action and determining hu
man. institutions. The times demand
more explanation than exhortation,
more discussion than emotional explo
sion.
The writer would be glad to have
this question further discussed.

M. C. B.—Is it advisable for me
to go ahead with the building that
I started back in early spring. For
some reason I am afraid as I do
not Want to lose the money that
I intended to invest?
Ans: You are perfectly safe
right now—your lawyer has suc
ceeded in getting the title to this
property clea- and it is quite all
right for you to proceed with the
building. The mistake you mad1
was not having the title checked ;n
the first place, but everything is
straight now so finish your build

E. L M.— Have been going
with this man for several years
and I like him very much but he
is so different. He doesn’t show
a bit of affection for me. Shoulc
[ consider this other man?
Ans: I can’t see where you will
ever find the happiness you are
seeking with this particular man.
He’s fond of you—but that isn’t
what you want. Show this man
in the distant city that you would
liko to renew his friendship— he
would make you a better life mate
******
L. C. B,—I intend to leave here
and go back home. I wdander if
that is the best thing for me to do.
I read your column all the time
and I am sure that you will advise
tpe all right.
Ans; Stay right where you
are. You left your home town Le
caU|se you couldn’t find work and
didn't make friends with the home
folks very well. Take a trip and
visit them a few weeks if you like
but betum to the city to makt

For the late summer and ea'jly
fall the trend is toWtard the new
silhouette, bloused and straight as
shown in the above creations.
Theise are more back-bloused than
all-around gloused and the fullness
of the skirt can be eased by pleats
A—A beltless dress, just the
th;ng fo-' those who are bored
with the inevitable belt and buckle
rt ha§ a fetching midriff and if
fitted closely with gathers above
and below will make your waist
line tiny. This dress will look e
qually Well with or without the |
pleats and fullness of skirt.
B—This dresf presents the new
silhouette, a two-piece frock with
a jacket-like blouse. This gives a
slenderizing Vfeet especially if
the pleats are cento ed in the
front. This arrangement should
ho a favorite as it tends to break
up one’s width in a neat slim man
ner. As a suggestion, 'emember
that black, heavy sheer is always
very smc."t in the late summer 01 d
early fall-____
keen to look at and eve-yone says
I *-<ive plenty of “umph’ and I
know* that I could make any office
attractive. Give your views?
Ans: You wouldn’t run into any
difficulty getting a job—but could
you hold it? Brush up on tha*
typing and take a couple of
months more study in business
school before applying for work.
You are smart, capable, and with
a little more practice would be ef
ficient—I am sure that you will
get work. It is my suggestion
that you do not try to show too
much of your “umph” around a
■business office. Sometimes it gets
girls in a jam. Display your in
telligence as well as your looks.

G. C.—Five years ago 1 mar-tied
my wife and every since the day
of our (marriage I have tried to
teach her tho ways of life. She’s
stubborn, butt-headed, inconsider

a person to do unde- such circum
stances ?
Ans: Weil friend, your little
wife is still not GROWN. She is
about to reach her twentieth birth
I day and you spoilexl and pampered

idea what is expected of a wife.
