Herein lies, a matter of very gicat moment. Nobody

satisfy the denurttd~~a* given! In the long run the
demand must determine the supply. There are
sopie Neg'ioes who l'eel tliat they will not specialize
in Negro musk-. To these should go the admoniI
Lion that there is no cuHi|Milsion, hut the law of supI
ply and demand are against them. If the Negro
jaa in the market t-o-selt his music he must satislT"
the popular demand or not sell at-all. T,he Neg.ro ]
musician must face thy alternative to catering to I
his own people with classical music" or to the white
musii huying public with more and better Negro
musk-. If the Negro thinks More of the cultural

thinkv?of the financial prestige which?accompanies
Negro music, he is at liberty to choose. There are
a lew whitOs who appreciate music as such regjUdless

loving masses of whites who nuist finance the
. ause of music want pure ami imdefiled Negro music.
They will sit for two-hours and-endure Rola-mt
Hayes and paul Robeson as they interpret the music
of the masters, if at the tpnslusion. they &re
rewarded with a few df the good old songs. IMost
white audiences endure the classical parts of our
musical programs hut really and actually enjoy
only the spirituals. The demand today is for Nespirituals
in their various arrangements and
if the Negroes can furnish the supply there are
fortunes and_f<>rturles. Otherwise Negroes must be !
content to perish while white artists reap an abundant
financial harvest.- The sooner the Negro decides
the better! It is a matter of supply and demand.
