C., SATURDAY XQV. 14, 1931, ?TH>; COMMI NITY CHEST AGAIN Again the Community Chest campaign is on. Again the Negroes of Columbia are presented with the opportunity of making their contribution1 toward the alleviation of suffering through Community effort. Last year the Negroes of the city were called upon for the,first time to participate in the Chest Drive in the capacity of donor instead of that of donee in toto. ?? The Chest Campaign this year- is to be conducted ? aleng lines that aie a bit different fruni last ygftFj campaign. Last -year many subscriptions were made that never matured into anything other than subscriptions; and the overhead that was Incurred in collecting many of the subscriptions that were finally paid was so great that during this pear's campaign 'he workers are seeking cash donations from those who wish to contribute The Community Chest is. anvong the best known 'z=z~~- community projects for--the relief oEjotYeiing Used in America. It is popular because of the fairness in the methods of distribution used .by its sponsors. We hope that the colored people of Columbia nia\ icnyunn jo tne Chest call more liberally " thi3 year than they did last year. It is just such opportunities as this and how we embrace them that speak ir clearer language than that any tongue can uttei telling how high we have ascended in civilization's _BCale: for only is that person really-civilized "whc ha? the oaparir.v fur feeling hit l?-nthiV? omo, who also feels, with Jean'Jacques Rosseau, that all men are brothers. Representative- of the Community Chest will call on you if they have'nt already done so. NOT A RELIGIOUS* I'ARKR Unless there may arise some misunderstanding about the religinlis leaningft-of?'Phc-Ralmettu beach er, we hasten to. inform our public Hhat as far as j our service as a newspaper is concerned we have no particular religion except that which constrains us to serve our fellows. The ^hcqder^ is a riotisectarian. nnn.nnrHo?" - ' ' ?ervd .all...denominations and all classes of people The LeadeT is not concerned with the religion or lac^ of formal religion of any of its readers or contri ' butors.?: '-r ; In last week s issue one. of our correspon. dents stated that there was opposition to his tak . ing suhsrripinns?for .. the?Leader bw.auso ho was a Baptist and the Leader a Methodist publication. There may be many people yho are jpoorly informed as to the paper's policy; and we deem it appropriate to make this statement for the benefit of all pdl-ties concerned. As far as denominations are concerned, the Lead er welcomes news from all of rhenn. It. matter; not whether it be Catholic or Protestant; Baptist, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Congregutionalist, Seventh Uay Adventist, Holy-Roller, Methodist or an> other sect; we welcome your news and your subscription. The Leader is decidely not a Methodist paper _ ?-just, as some of them may- belong - to -other tienominations. = *"" One of the problems to. which the editorial coluihs of this paper lire dedicated is tTie breaking down of all barriers that' are hindrances to human progress. We believe, due to long and painstaking observation, that the greatest bair:cr to progress among the more intelligent, class of . Negroef ^/is the barrier of denominational antagonism*. We believe that-there can be no real and lasting jpuns made in our social amr economic life until there is a greater amount, nf unity annmr ivhat call themselves, our Christian forces. So long as thfefe remain bicTtefings in all walks of life among ???the different members?of God's future household. progress in mis lower sphere may be expected to remain neglible. The Leader ' wishes to wear no badge unless it be the badge of universal service. ? - .?i r ? LANGSTON HUGHES' MISSION Lartgston Hughes, young literatus, who has rather firmly entrenched himself in American letters as a poet and novelist, has taken the task upon him self nL.endeavoring to create within the hearts and minds of the commonality of his people a desire for an appreciation of the literary works of Negroes. He is not satisfied that his works and those of a few others have hail a respectful re-ading at the hands of u few sophisticates. It is his purpose that reader and writer^ may advance hand in hand, and that the reading public may become larger and a f ' . . ' % Mr. Hughes is the author of many poems several ! of which are to be found in his collections "The Weary Blues" and "Fine Clothes To The Jew." . In his poetry he usually interprets the \earnings, delights -and heart throbs of the man lowest UouTT^T laborers, laundresses, women of easy'morals, po'r- { tors, bell hops, waiters, gamblers an^ the like. His poetfy tends to disclose that touch of nature which' makes the whole world kin. He has published oik* | novel, "Not Without Laughter." After the pub?, lishing of this novef^he, became the recipient otl the Harmon- award in literature. , Mr, 'Hughes intends to cqnie into /'he South among his people where he will lecture and .give readings before clubs, special gatherings and in the class rooms of schools that are to bo l'ound in communities fortunate enough to attract hiin. The Negro literati by and large will, stand greatly in 'Mr. Hughes' debt for this manifestation of in' terest in the crafts' development on his part. Not only do the masses of our people need enlightenment | concerning the things of the realm of the mind: j 1 but far too many of our unuer-erust are btn nseudo-I cognoscenti puslng as iv -well established iiitollogen- " tia. : * ? "* if iWith a few nio.re^ visits from men like Hughes who are true intellectuals a thirst after mental de. velopment may1 be created "among"us" that will render the nightly"portrayals of Amos 'n Andy libellous in fact. As things stand now their prototypes may in 1 | too many instances be found in our college classes , and professorial chairs. We wish Mr."Hughes much I success while on his itineracy, and hope that Cor lumbia nay be one of the favored communities. ^ ~~~~ j BETWEEN THE LINES j BY GORDON B. HANCOCK |f ? THE BRITISH ELECTION. i ' , . I In oi^e of the most spectacular elections of recent years, Ramsay MacDonald has been returned to power in England. Entering Parliament as a lubo' rite MacDonald was regarded as the hope of-the li- ; ; berals; but, the critical tprn in events jeopardized ' the labor government and the Premier was forced to _ choose between allegiance to his party ami loyally . to Great Britnin. MacDonald choose the latter, ami. thereby not only proved his sagacity as a stale" man but was returned to power -TnspTnr~ol '11 Ifc phl'l.v " by one of the most staggering majorities, in the annals of British politics.

His spectacular victory is a reward for true statesmanship Which might have been subordinated a .. 1: a: /rATT ..3k'. a. iv.-i i ;i? wu y>?n.y jjviiuvs. x iie victory luruier illustrates i the~fact that conscience yet has its place in public affairs. . When principle is placed above personal advantage the populace ' in not always too slow' to-recognize. MacDonald has set lhe-Wuild a maUi needed example in-conscientious service, in far ton 1 many instances such service goes without iimnedii ate reward, but occasionally the sun of a people's 1 gratitude rises and shines resplendent btV-^StirJ?^ r- upon him who dares-serve the people rrtthW than ~ himself. Such- was?the happy lot of The British election has still another lesson that 1 comes home , to the Negroes with telling force. ' For more than ten years millions of unemployed have i swarmed lite British Isles. 'The abhorrent dole l_ spirit of unrest has been rampant and there have bWn-great apprehensions lest tne volcano of lin- " ' rest break forth wiih unabated fury and hurl Great Britain from its pedestal of power into the dust of ' ruin. The coming into power of the Labor Party was regarded by marly as . the beginning of the; end of the present" form of government in Kngbiiuf.
