Collins, a progressive farmworking arduously to put -it over associates". ^ fecrttfomic and social endeavor.- The economists put it this way: A man receives low wages because he is a poor, and he is poor because he receives low wages. A -poor man therefore has .little hopff-of rising unless someone breaks thp circle Thia accounts in large measure for the large numbers. of poor in all generations ijr raTITThe nations. Because a marr is poor be hatf few opportunities to-over rvntr his poverty. Because a man iF wealthy he has many opportunities to romam wealthy or to accumulate greater wealth. This is borne out by W 7: 1 ' ' * r ' THK FAT.MKTT our knowledge_,pf the affaire?of4tfe r about us! Reduced.to its last analy- f sis, if a man is born on, let us say, i class "C',' level he tends to live and 1I die there;.-and what is- mdre, "his ehil- |i dren also tend to live and die there unless some stroke ?f fnrtnno hronW the circle.

That Is, the poor tended to_get poorer and th,, wealthy- wealthier. This was in keeping with th0 earlier teachings of Karl Marx. Reduced to its simplest analysis Marshall's fundamental thesis was imply this: If a man is borne on level "C," he nit only tends to remain thcr(. and his. offsprings with him, but th.'iy-ls-a tendency that poverty will become cumulative and drive -tbp said man to level. "D.".. It must b'o borne' in mind that the working out of these tendencies is always contingent i upon some stroke of for- _c tune to" break the vicious circle!

He ge.ts all kinds of "bad breaks" because he-is the sub-j merged group and he is the submer- j ged group bocausp he frcts^ so many bad social and?eet+mfmic "breaks"] This is true in the very nature of j things according to Marshall. Such success as th(> Negro has attained has' clue largely through a set of circumstances' which tended' to break the vicious circled In Negyh, ? business this principle is illustrated. Such progress as?Negro business has made is due foe 1 he- most part' to circumstances which "broke the vtlclous cir"cleA.7 Insurance is a case in point. | 11 ad there not been segregation of the Negro, it is doubtful if Negro insurance .could hove survived. 'Behind almVst all of. th0 large fortunes accumulated by Negroes-is this same principle of segregation. The mon- t umenfal fortunes acquired by the 1 lateMadnny?Walker and .^lis. lone, can he accounted for upon the I' ncgrcp-nt ion?nut in <?of mch?business _ as thoy l>iiil^. The wealth accumulate by fh,. Negro professionals can be explained the same way. The Negro has achieved most wonderfully in those holds in which hp had a monopoly afid he "had the monopoly be.cause of prejudice- and this prejudice terdeik?to?break Br(>?vicious circle,hence some business progress of the Negro. If there were some way in which all the Nep.ro business could hp segregated. Nepro business would flourish.
