THE NEGRO PRESS IN A CHANGING WORLD (Continued from p. 2) dren of the public schools is $38 better than they are in some ot place for the Negro Press? RACE PROBLEM WORLD WIDE In this changing world in which the moral responsibility of one people to another, and one na tion to another has been made vastly more acute by scientific advances in communication, by nearness and interdependence, a condition that did not exist prior to World War II, and the very development of scientific means of making war totally disastrous, the nations of the world are re examining their governmental and national policies on questions that flow from differences of race, color, and creed. There are no longer any purely local questions of this kind. The problems of the 13,000,000 Negro es in America are linked with the ones of the 150,000,000 African natives, and with those of the peoples of India an^ China. Like wise, the political, economic and social problems of England and France and Russia are linked closely with those of America We hav* come face to face with the prophetic vision of the late Wendell Willkie. AGENCIES FROM A TO Z (BY MYRTLE GOODLOW) God gave the soil to bear fruit for our toil To supply the foods we daily need And to produce grains and hay for cattle feed And when our government a few ye drs ago decreed The planting of certain seed and for some fields to remain barren and not to yield America was bound someday to badly need Foods an<j grains with which to supply her table needs—and grains for cattle feed The pigs which were destroyed we havn’t forgotten Nor the fields of plowed under cotton Willful waste always makes x woeful want and this bitter truth should haunt The guilty ones when they hear the sad cry Of millions who from starvation shall soon dig Surplus foods shoud have been canned and full production never banned; Many growing children don’t get proper food to eat And folks go broke each week because food prices are so steep When foods should be plentiful and cheap Agricultural restriction has done more harm than a four bell fire alarm— And when food supplies are low that’s when drouths and plagues strike their blow America used to be a lan^ of the free and a land of plenty And now with all the agencies from A to Z This country' is far from being free; The OPA have their say and the people can’t say nay So they just trade with black markets in a great big way Making liars and cheaters of customers and dealers “Ceiling Price” describes the high cost right It would be very nice to have a “Floor Price” which wouldn’t drain our pocketbook Nor strain our nerves when we take a look At the prices which are so high We can’t afford to buy And now they are cutting a big fat hog Sending most of the lumber abroad They are very quick to forget their slogan “Nothing shall be too good for the returning vet” And thousands now wearily walk the streets While awaiting agencies to complete The plans for a housing program It is sad to think—they who fought to protect the American Home Return to have none of their own.

The former vooalist of Lucky Millinder’s Harris Orchestra who for the past year has been whamming ’em on the west coast was booked into The Shadow 1ah d in New Orleans. The Hol lywood revuesical is the sensation of the Mardi Gras — and that’s where Ben Bart, genial theatrical producer and uoosing agent comes in. Bart who has been around a long time contacted Bill Donaldson and together they have successfully booked engagements for this hot "ha show which is headlined by t. arris and also features Lois Green, a talented singer who possesses goud looks as well; along with Paul Barbarian’s Orchestra. Bar barian was formerly associated with Louis Armstrong as a drum mer — and a good one too. The troupe is proving a sensational ’’package” in the South where it is now filling engagements in theatres and nite spots. Sock entertainment surrounds the three toppers of this show-stopping presentation. There is a creole chorus, a tap dancing team and comedians that rated it a box office smash at the Shadow land Club in New Orleans and in cities along the route. Harris needs no introduction for he has been rated as one of the best blues singers in the country When you say Wynonie Harris! naturally, you insert “blues” after the first name and before the last. You just couldn’t be talking about the same person if you didn't. mis recording of Wynonie Blues, Around the Clock Blues, Somebody Done Changed the Lock, Yonder Goes My Baby, now lead the Har lem Hit Parade. Harris recently in t-oduced “Young Man’s Blues.” Lois Green, a new singing star, from advance no- *-0:s tices shapes up as being the find of the Spring season. One west coast critic in reviewing the show stated: “—Miss Green not only has a gorgeous shape but she shapes up as being 1946 rave.” Both Ben Bart ana Harry nen etska, of Univer sal. Attractions, 565 Fifth Avenue, in this city, have been swamped with long distant calls and tele graph communica tions for the Wynonie Harris Hollywood Revue. it is c*.e of the _ . . outstanding units Barbarian of the day,” Mr. Lenetska told this writer in an exclusive interview, showing a stack of letters and tele grams. Paul Barbarian has a great mus ical aggregation and already he has created swing frenzy among the bobby soxers who have “gone-all out-of-this-World” for the Barbarian rhythms. The Harris Hollywood revuesical is strictly on the groovy Bide. BLUES WITH A STYLE! SULTRY SONGSTRESS Lena Horne gives out with her own1 I brand of love “blues” in a scene from her latest film,M-G-M’s j “Ziegfeld Follies of 1946”. The setting is a waterfront cafe, and the ballad she sings, called “Love”, was written especially for her by Ralph Blane and Hugh Martin^ God and will near I’rayers: =.s a Colored race let us call upon Him as those Jews did, and not onlv as the Jews did, but as our fathe )» in the days of slavery, Prayer Changes Things. We are not able to make our selves equal with the other group and poyerss, that be, we can not get enough votes in Congress, but we can get enough votes on our knees, God has never turned a faithful prayer down, he has al ways listened to one who spoke to Him, he heard Elijah on Mt. Carmel, and answered his prayers he heard Daniel in Babylon, Dan ien 6:10; 11 and he also heard Sha Daniel 3rd chapter. Queen Esther requested the Jews to pray, and (who knows whether Thou Art Come to the Kingdom for such a time as this) I am saying to you who knows whether the Lord has inspired me to write this article in such a time like this. God heard the Children of Isreal in Egypt, Exodus 2nd chapter; this is a time and age of Atomic energy, but it should be the time and age of Prayer and the gospel of the Son of God. The Atomic Bomb is powerful but our prayers are more powerful. God is not a whhite or a black man. He is a spirit and he that would wor ship Him in spirit and in truth, not by power nor might, but by My spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts and we can not do it by power nor by might if so the war would have been ended long before it was, and yet it is not ended because sarikes on top of strikes and mur dering and kidnapping and every damnable thing that’s wrong. A few of the members of Congess in the White House are not right Why? Why wouldn’t they vote to pass the PEPC bill, that all the citizens would have equal ri ghts in this country to work? They voted that our sons, fathers, husbands and brothers all would go to war, and yet when they wer*-' back they met with the same old thing—segregation, discrimination disfranchisement, ostracism, Jim Crowism, and everything else that is wrong, but there are two places where there are none of these above things heaven and hell! I am saying to the church through out America, ‘Let’s pray that the : Lord will take charge of affairs’ I He has never lost a single case, so pray a week beginning the 1st Sunday of April, I hope this state ment will be announced in all of the churchhes and the pastors do urge it; that everybody will go down in prayer. Paul and Silas prayed and the Lord heard them, the church prayed for Peter while he was in jail and he was deliv ered, and he Is the same God now and forever. Prayer is the Panacia for this ill, and nothing else will heal as well. Atomic energy will not be able to do it. The Good Book says therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets). The Lord Jesus Prayed in the garden of Gelhsemane and a number of other times and got results. Rev W. C. Simmons, Detroit, Michigan RED CROSS RUSHES AID TO TIDAL WAVE VICTIMS Washington, D.
