1 gerous course for an oppressed-people!
The group that goes about over
throwing this government has a
considerable job on its hands and the
Negroes who would align themselves
with such group must be prepared tn
pay a tremendous price. Such pressure
as this grnnp inrnrq ,ytill come
" most rigorously upon the Negro. By
:reason. of our color we can be "apotj
ted" and to "spot" Negroes~as ComOi
muniats in addition to "spotting"
e them as rapists and criminals 4s to
d expose the Negro to grave dangers,
e If this government must* be overe
thrown let white Communists overt
throy it and let Negroes attend to
t the simple business of holding what
n jobs they have left. Of course if
g the Negro press insist on heroizing
h Neegro . radicals and Communists we
n may expect tha^ more and more Ne?
e groes will seek notoriety in this held,
e, It may be a wise and advantageous
e thing for the Negro to array himself
-; against the man with the job and the
- money thereof, but we doubt itl
!- Right through here it seems wise to
s, "stick to the .bush that affords the
o berries". Capitalism is the only bush
e tnat promises to afford "job berries"
g for .years to come. Some"Whites can
v get away with being Communists but
r Negrues cannot, for they must pay
e | in full for their alignment! ?
sjAnd so Forth. ... -."I
We recently dropped into a store
g and heard a clerk speaking, rather
r| curtly to a Negro customer. It was
h a case of "short talk^ to a' NagTo who
-: evidently did not have much money
t to spend. Very shortly a "big Nee
gro" walked in and how suddenly
o,smiling the clerk became and how
e "long" he talked! In one case ortly a
e'few pennies were in sight, in-the
other dollars were in sight. The
r 1 clerk's talk very easily shifted from
s "short" to "long". The "long and
n short" of the matter is the dollar.
_ | How can we get "long talk" without
f the dolllar and how can we get dolh
lar without the job? Hold your job;

hero appeared camouflaged utterances
ia^mi the pen of one writer whose opinon
was and I guess still is?that
:he Negro "better go easy" while conending
for certain rights. In other
ivov3s,-he must openly endorse the de- *
lialof his rights and nretend that he
)pproves tlie illegal Mepds?done?to
lim when he knows that such things
kudt meet his apprqVair~~If he did ":
his, the intelligent white man, as well
is the intelligent Nogro, wouldn't give u
dm any credit for it. The intelligent
vhite people?North vt>r South?know . _
ight from wrong; and thep appreciate?-?~ri^'
i truthful and a clear-dlit statement
trade by any Negro?North or South

rourse any sensible person gets tired
ind irritated"over tomfoolery when the
speaker or writer doesn't know what
n i^ talking o- rwriting about; or
tnows but still resorts to.lies instead . y
if the truth. Such wouldn't irritate *
i Southern whit,, man?but any kind
if a man. But the truth with" the
iroper presentation plays its part.
