Solve Race Problem L (By The Associated Ne^ro Press)"* Philadelphia, Pa., April.?Be fore an audienee-of-^ully 4,500 persons, many being turned away, the RevF Charles A. Tind- [ sley, pastor of the East.Calvary "M. "E.~"cKurch, atfackecl the be-! lief that the future of the race! in this country depends on ra-i oial equality. He believes that' Alt that the rapp needs is a fair; chance, and not social equality j to mingle with the whites or j occupy a houBe on the same i street with white families. het \ wants, however, a chancd to havej -?-?a home^just aygood-a3 that oc-! *cd by his whits biTflthtiif j?a well as the educational and bu_ siness opportunities accord him. ' This equality of opportunity. J - rMr._JTindley- said, the colored f\ man 'fcould best .gain by wholesome, Christian living, which the community^ It" is imperai * tive that the Negromust believe in Christianity if he is to raise himself, he said. Rev. Tindley ~ decried -dancing blame for loose livihg among the > younger generation at th^ door of their parents, claiming that, if true Christianity is taught in , the home there would be few * wayward children. t.

If you spend money for shoes, , you get a ?air of shoes. If you, buy a house, you get the house | and you can feel the bricks. Ifi ~ you spend a dollar for beefsteak, your sense of taste makesyou satisfied, with the expend!-1 ture. And evfen if you buy i stock, you get a prettily decorat ed stock certificate, which may or may not mean anything, but 7+ at least pleases the bye. But ?when you put a dullai into_an-i 3 organization like the National r ment pf Colored People, neitherthe/ sense M touch. sight or j taste is satisfied. Your dollar - leaves you, and if you expect a material return from it, you will ?__.be disappointed. on^ Per^expenditure are those who are can feel within themselves a keen sense of pleasure at having ? done a small bit towaj?d freeing a race from shackles of prejudice, who can spend today and ~7~r^fteeLa pleasure in soending-mon^ ey which, will make conditions better for generations yea un. - ? born, who can anticipate the mo -ment?when -black?brothers and. sisters will not live in dread of the lyncher's rope and when black citizens may hold _up their heads as full-fledged and respecte?L_pjtizens of a great ?Nation.?1, - ?Those are the results you are purchasing with your dollar: They are hum&n rights-whieh you can not eat, feeh or see, " but" they are so essential tb^happiness-and~to progress thatrrroi "where can a dollar be better spent. They are purchases which some will disdain to make, t i ii 1 i ? .t - ' dul tnanK uoa tnere are colored men and women endowed with this sixth sense who are making the N. A. A. C.

The Negro leaders' who demand that- the Negro be| ehlisted-as^art of the local dis-j trict organizations, most of them I occupying positions at the hand! of Morton, are doing so in the nope that they/may become of more consequence in their respective districts as the white leaders' "Men Friday" than they can be under the conditions that prevail. If the desirecTclfange is effeeted, it will mean the absorption of the Negro Democrat into the many District units of the big organization and place the little groups of each district in a position where little influence or pressure can be brought to bear on conseqi^entiak matters by any of _them. - However, that is the effort that is being made. | The internal battle now being waged by Osdar Waters styled" chairman of the National Negro Democratic Committee, Cornelius Highes, Clerk nT theifoard" of [ Elections and the publisher of a -fraleniar publicaliun and Suine others, will show' whether- Morton -damhia?aa.--tut....will continue' i to dominate the situation or not.
