v IS COM®10 jt *** h ERIC HASS c<lum of tu, weekly People Released by Calvin's News Service The Philadelphia Tribune col umnist, Evans Brooks, says, “The sooner Wallace and his crowd set up their own program and give the people an opportunity to sup port it, the better off the politi cians and the country will be.” What Mr. Brooks is asking for here is a “third party”—like the Populist party of the nineties, or Teddy Roosevelt’s Bull Moose party of 1912, or the La Follette “Progressives” of 1924. Looking back on those political adventures, it must be admitted that a lot of poliicians certainly were “better off.” Hundreds who couldn’t get to first base in the GOP and the Democratic party got themselves elected as “Popu lists.” A few years later, when the Populist movement wore itself out—it wasted its strength aiming blows in the air—these politicians were safely enrolled in the Demo cratic party. But I disagree with Mr. Brooks that the country would be “better off’ if Mr. Wallace headed up a “third party.” I'm thinking now of the “country” as meaning the great majority of the people who inhabit the coountry- No, I’m not Kleenway Cleaning Chemicals Waterless hand cleaner Dishwashing Powders KLEEN-WAY Laboratories Ltd. 2208 CUMING ST Phone-JA 7522—8451 § SUBSCRIl’TIC'W RATES: | 1 MONTH. 50c | 1 3 SIONTHS.$1.50 1 I | 1 fl MONTHS . .. $2.50 § 1 1 YEAR . . $4.00 | o o o II YEAR (Out «f Towi t $4.50 | jiHiiNramiHMiNMNUiiiimimuimiiiiHiiiun -omnia * ^M* 9 uimimtuonnuimtf BINKMAN SHOE SERVICE 319 So. 15th St. Marsh Caster In Charge All Good Radio Service i SALES & SERVICE Guarantee Repairs on all Makes of Radios UNDEki NEW MANAGEMENT R.

Dr. FRED Palmers, .IGHTENS dark SKIN Loomm BLACKHEADS H atson’s School of Beautv Culture t ENROLL NOW l Terms Can Be A^-anged 2511 North 22nd Street — JA-3974 — going to argue that all a Wallace party could do is “split the liberal vote.” I believe in voting for right principles even though this leads to temporary defeat—be cause this is the only way to make certain that right principles be came known and ultimately tri umph. Hence, if Mr. Wallace re presented right principles, I would cheer him on as Mr. Brooks does. The truth is, though, that Mr. Wallace does not represent right principles—principles which, if adopted, would make this country more secure against the three dangers which confront it—mass unemployment, fascism and war. Any party that Mr. Wallace leads is bound to be just another party of capitalism. It is true that Mr. Wallace is notorious for putting his foot in his mouth, and for repudiating one day what he said on the day before- But there is one point on which Mr. Wallace has never re treated or hedged. That is his ad vocacy of the capitalist system. Mr. Wallace, wrho, incidentally, is a millionaire capitalist himself has frequently expressed himself on this point. For example, in an article in the Saturday Evening Post, October 23, 1943, Mr. Wal lace bewailed the fact that “cap italism throughout the world, and even in our own country, has often been the object of derision.” In its “essentials,” he said, “capital ism can be the most efficient sys tem. . . yet devied by man. It should not, as many radical re formers have suggested by up rooted.” This being Mr. Walace’ view, he obviously would not head a party which did not support his view. Hence, no matter how this “third party” might differ with the two major parties on housing, say, or foreign policy, it would uphold capitalism, the cause of war, un employment and fascism. Ulti mately therefore, it would leave us as previously mushroom re ■ form parties have left us—worse off than ever, with the hopes and enthusiasm of all who were duped by it wasted, and the owning class more secure in its privileges than before. Experience teaches that for a third party to survive, it must be rooted in the economic needs of the age. Thus, the Republican party, when founded, expressed i the need of oncoming capitalism to throw off the incubus of the chattal slave system in the South.

Similarly, today, a party which is to survive, and which is not to be scattered as sand is scattered by the wind, must be built upon the socio-economic need of the age. That need, I do not hesitate to say, is a thorough-going recon struction of our society on a Socialist basis- And in the Social ist Labor Party there already exists an oranization which has a sound grasp of both the historic need of society and of a Marxian program for fulfilling it. OMAHA URBAN LEAGUE . The following notes as a result of the Economic and Industrial Conference which was held at the Urban League, Tuesday evening, June 17, have been submittedv SPONSORSHIP: The Industrial Relation Committee of the In dustrial Department, Omaha Ur ban League.

Davis spoke on “Business Opportunities for Ne groes in Omaha.” Made a forceful address and said there are unlim- j ited opportunities for business. Cited failure of Negro bustness was due largely to lack of capital, knowledge and good business ethics. • Mr. V. D. Watson spoke on, “The Concern of Youth Regarding the Problems of Economic and Indus trial Conditions." He stressed pre paredness as a level to force op portunities. He urged youth to get1 a trade or some vocation and op portunities to practice that trade will surely come. Mrs. Jamie Norman spoke on,. Economic Employment and The Industrial Future for Negro Girls in Omaha. “Their future,” she said, ‘will depend largely on how well she will fit in the new pattern of society on the one hand and how effective hte community will work to open more doors to her. Mr. Welton Hogan spoke on, Methods By Which Negroes May Improve Employment Conditions in Omaha. He proposed six well confined ways in which the en tire community could participate in a cooperative effort to more employment and a better econo mic life. Miss Mildred Brown spoke on, The Negro Woman in the Indus trial Life of Omaha. Miss Brown related specific ways in which Ne gro women could help themselves achieve more and better jobs. She felt optimistic that businss and industry would have a tendency to give the Negro woman employ ment and that ways must be found to intergrate them into good jobs. Mrs. Anita Hayes spoke on, Re sponsibility the Negro People Carry for Their Economic Im provement. Mrs- Hayes, an out standing speaker, said she believ ed in complete intergration, that Negro people are Americans and must be accorded all the rights and privileges accorded any other American. Rev. 3. B. Brooks, chairman of the Industrial Committee summed up the conference activities and rendered a splndid address on The Relation of Religion to Economic and Industrial Growth.

The conference was considered a success because the aim and pur pose was accomplished. The aim was to focus community-wide awareness on employment and economic conditions among Negro people in Omaha. This was done through publicity and the meeting itself. The purpose, to gain co operation, unity and goodwill was surely accomplished. Final results of the meeting was a unanimous request that a com munity-wide Industrial and Eco nomic Council, composed of all agencies and organizations be formed for the purpose of working together in a common cause.

Mr. and Mrs. Ran Marrion and Nebraska’s Liquor Control Laws Widely Approved • The citizens of Nebraska have proved repeatedly at recent elections that they endorse the state’s liquor control laws. Their ballots show they feel this law is in the interest of the public welfare. Their action is evidence that they approve the manner in which their officials are admin istering the law. Our liquor control statute en acted in 1935, is widely re garded as one of the best in the nation. It is often considered the “model law” by legislators of other states. This Committee has contin ually cooperated closely with' the authorities in urging strict enforcement. When occasion has arisen, we assist in taking action against any who abuse their license privileges. Tavern conditions which merit state-wide approval— that is our goal.

Negro Freedom new YORK—The Negro Free dom Rally, after much publicity over the backing out of sponsors Rev. Adam Clayton Powell, Jr-, and Mrs. Hazel Scott Powell, fim ally was stag<*I Monday, June 16 T* it was a disappointment. Barely 2,500 persons turned out at Madison Square Garedn to ap plaud a four hour program con sisting of minor musical acts and speakers. 1 Originally staged several years ago as an outrowth of the March On Washington Movement to protest Nero’s meager place in the war effort, the latest Negro Freedom Rally had very little of its former magnificance. Dr. Char lotte Hawkins Brown, probably the biggest name, made the main address. Contralto Carol Bride did double duty singing the national anthem and accepting an award for tolerance preseted to Serge Koussevitsky. Cornelia Otis Skin, ner, accepting her award, made a simple and short speech of thanks. Neil Scott was coordinating dir ector of the Rally and public re lations man.
