HANCOCK Doers And Vndoers! A critical time is at hand! The deTirvssion that Is rmw upon the civr lized world is no ordinary occurrence and those who think su. are in for ft rude awakening, The very foundation of our social and economic order is threatened, and nobody can tell what a day. -may bring forth. The Negro race is not a very powerful force^tn shaping policies which must guide the immediate future; the most that the Negro can do, then, is to watch the trend of affairs and strive oi dy?Ht?tt< 1 just himself to these perilous times. Negro leadership has not even. yet realized that the race is face to face, with a crisis unnarallelled in the annals of mankind, Negro leadership is not . addressing itself to fundamentals, hut -for the most part, to incidental. Hardly one Negro in a thousand realizes that the very survival of the Negro in this country demands most scrioois thought hv most serious men. In the game of football it is sometimes easy to make long gains in the middle of the gridiron; hut as the goal posts are approached, gains are moTe difficult. Yardage is harder to make within -Phc?frvt-^yiird liner-The-gafrrs?the Negro has made in the economic struggle-wore ma.de in mid-fields very few Negroes realize that as we approach the goal, the going is bound to 1 >e harder. Teams have ' been known "To gain 90 yards and then be stopped within the five-yard line. We hope this will not be true of the Nepro race; hut unless our strategy is readjusted we are a beaten people! Ipsf , recently a white woman "Sat in rt r,f ...u:*-? ?? - vvntit? women ana wepi tie^aiise: impecunious white?women were asking, to bo placed in positions now hold by Negroes. Said this white woman "Negro men are unemployed, and are living upon the slight wages earned by the Negro woman, >nd wlu'ffthe lMwhvTftrity'wmnaTT'tgfc?s the places of these Negro women, .\?hat will the Negroes do?" The .hing that disheartens one of serious mind is how little this question of 'what will the Negroes do?" eon*erns the average Negro leader! The white woman may have wept >ut of sympathy for the-" Negroes, >ul she was weeping by her self. Cerv few Negroes arc weeping. They ire laughing'?*Tb#y-are not ready to 'ace the ugly fact that the race is 'itp against it"! Just ho^v Negro eadership can bc jia complacent in he farii of null ti eim-ndou ohollengr s in itself a inarvel-a marvel perhaps >f shame. The Urban League wings forward the information that he movement to displace- the Negro vhenever and wherever possible is lation-wide and .in almost-every sitlatiori the Negro is unemployed out .f all proportion to his numbers. ru? nit- iiium casual studint of economic iffairs ought to see that in this sitmtion is a threat not only to the Negro's well-being hut to his survival n this ...country. , Yet the Negro aughs ar.d such mrtter as ti e hold,-our-job gospel and the Double-duty Dollar gospel are beneath the notice if the so-called "Negro leader." Such simple matters are for .pessimists and kill-joys. lliev say.?Well ve- are going to-see what happens. Negroes are still degree-mad ancF position-crazy, while the white man h?.s waked up and is making a drive for every job in sight! F'erhaps the S'egro leader has some other way out; put if he has, it is about time he was showing it. Times are critical whether we laugh or whether we veep. There are here and there thosie in :ho humbler walks trying hard to pelp matters. Some whites and some Megroes .ace J.rying hard.lo majtc-thfi. adjustmrnt*?th(? f'hiergency is derianding.

There arc some who are trying hard to face the ugly facts and act accordingly! The Urban League has come at last to a position this column set forth three -vears! ago. .The Urban League is trying to meet the situation. Mr. Holsey in his CMA movement is showing the wav in Negro business.' Yet it must be plain that unless the Gospel of the Double-Duty Dollar is promulga?ted to sustain the CMA program it | canot avail. Unless the Negro tne^sses are employed there can be no OMA stores. This takes us back to the Hold-Your-Job gospel. Then too. it is almost useless for Mr. Holse/ and "oTLers'Toda, jf there"are those who" .undo! The Negro newspapers which , play -up-white-black marriages, and sofial escapades can undo more in a day than the try-hard Negroes can do in a month. For every account that these papers carry of white-' , black sex relations, the race will pay ] in Jobs. If the Negro newspaper insists on publishing the black-white" news which is an affront not only to ' decent Negroes but to the white em-' .ptoyer-world, it is reasonable to supate with .displacements. If the NcJgro is bent on throwing his white, black rail, the white man has a right , to throw his "No-Negro-Need-ApI ply" rail. These pseudo sensational jWtfgru pafwrv fan uiulu IifO W in | day than Mr. Holsey or the Urban League can do in a year! Sooner or j later constructive Negro agencies [ must enter their protest against a newspapers policy that means ultiI mately the economic damnation' of 'the race. Just why these agencies | are yet so indifferent to such vital i matter is more than some can Under Island. The Negro newspapers which specialize in playing up white-black love affairs are undoers and the sooner the doers realize this fact the betjter. DOERS ANI) UNDOERS! POINTED POINTS I George A.
