Some months ago we addc??sod our readers on Cannon Fodder, in which article we set forth the danger of a too rani pant radicalism on the part of the Northern Negroes who were in a measure immune to some of the evils a too radical course might bring forth. Not once have we ever said a word against righteous protest, for from our earliest years of public service we have b, on persistent' in our protests aeainst injustice and repressions. It was not against protest the*n that we wrote, but rather against a kind of -"half-bakedradicalism on the?part-of some "Negroes who Have mofe heal than light. \Ye further made if pla n that-thesc "half-baked" radicaus . were trving to carry on a fight that Dr. Dubois launched years ago, but mifurtimntily'for them they had the DuBois point of view .without the Dennis intelligence to go along' with it. It was such circumstance which held .possibilities of woe . for the Southern Negro. To make our position clear we likened the Negro _in ti c Smith to the .man -^di? had his lu aii in '.In- lion's mouth while Nerr-r, 1, iw V,?r,U it, ' tlw. ' lien's mouth.

So many Negroes who 'know no i?u-?rc -about being radical tha.n writers know about being logical, earnestly imagined that they were . This conclusion was ihvscanaMe: That very few Negroes ~rrn? -"indrenl"- front conviction; -morearU "fadirh!" iiom a hankering 1 or popular it v; most are "radical"- for the" eolation? A few Weeks ago we released to the Associated N*"grn l'ro?>, an article en.. titled "Appreciation Trade." In this art cle we look the position that Negro business is in a vicious circle and litis beer, since it tinception and that the onlv hope is in trading with Negr..esiii->t. because they ..re Negroes and then for "value-received" considerations. after the "initial stages have betn-^ia.-sed.

Of course in the present emergency an attempt A ' _? I.. TO LEADER is made to promote economic stability ^ by increasing expenditures on part of states and municipalities.

Mr. Reid may be right t when he sa'-s that a separate uTTd segregated economic system within cannot be maintained; but even a e casual economist would not dispute <j this perfectly obvious truth.
