Telephone 452a Saturday, August 9, 1941 POST WAR ECONOMICS Depressions usually follow in the wake of wars, and many economists are already thinking about the depression t^jat must naturally follow the world war now going on. But it is not necessary to have these depressions, arud we never would have one of the pestiferous things if people would do more planning. The time to keep depressions from coming is during the flow of plenty in production and con-, sumption. Let the industrial workers who enjoy inflated prices for labor, the merchants who exploit the buyers, conserve now, and plan-ior-the future when the flow of money will have been checked on account of the lull in production. The farmer too, might as well learn how "to "produce more money crops 'and create a capital for, the depression about which the economists are saying shall come in the post war period. A CURB.MARKET IN WAVERLEY There is a bright prospect for a curb market place in Waverly. A market shed with dozens of stalls on the 1700 block of harden street and back on Richland street would offer opportunities to the people of Waverly of unusual importance. Think of the advanr tages of the Allen Benedict Terrace population, the colleges and the.many people who live ih this . progressive?section?of?Columbia who live a mile and more from the Assembly street market. Here is a big opportunity for Negro producers to show their farm products?to a eommunity^of readv huvars. A w*.ll ??>*>? tary market with stalls "running over" with fresh vegetables, fruits of every variety, poultry and green meats that meet the fancy of Tiousewfves will meet the long felt need of those seeking consumer goods for daily consumption. At present this seems to be a dream, but the project is worth considering and should at least furnish food for thought in the minds of farm agents and home demonstration agents in and _around Columbia. The farm market project could be made a tri-county concern , primarily by having Negro land owners and tenants in Richland Lexington and Fairfield counties .become leading spirits amontf the investors. Of course, a curb market herein suggested would draw tin1 mmnnnn ur mii'H fHimwu In Pee Dee and the coastial counties where truck crops are plentiful. Then, too, many products other than those grown on farms could he in the curb market set-up. We should like to see a curb market in Waverly and hope the sugges _ Hon may find lodging in the thoughts of our enterprising Negro farmers. - v. ESTABLISH "CO-OPS" FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH The co-operative movement among Negro people is coming. ? establishment will- bring business training that your?g Negroes should welcome.

If you have, then you know that it isn't always the side qi on which there is the greatest w strength that wins. The winning team is the team that pulls to- b( gether, ni We need that kind of team work world madden*! by war.And- it4s ? the disruption of that team work T in whirvi fho atmiwkif ivi and within*, is concentrating its s? attack. M True we are not physically at R war. There are no hostile armies G encamped on our territorits. With- P in the three mile limit our ships E are- safe. We still watch with a eye of interest rathtr than alarm, " the swift flight of the graceful planes across the summer sky, " But there is a war on* NOW 1 AND HERE. It is a Blitzkrieg of words?of ideas. As deadly as the poison gas it emulates and pre- -cedes, the attack is on our unity. , Beware of all propa^nda that seeks to divide this country into ^ groups?whether the -diversions be q those of cfass, race, religion ~"or ^ color! , The development of "group" (] thinking is the forerunner of discord, making men look with .su- ,, spicion upon their neighbors atuh -V unleashing forces yf hatred that" " when fully grown would destroy v the unity-of purpose which is the ,h backbone of our country. For our unity is forged not as ri .the unitits of overcrowded Europe. <" of fear and hatred?but by a com- T. mon purpose, a common ideal to- * wards which we strive, however ^ press it. It is the unity of those ? who love Ameriea and its form of government anrhwho would~rather live here under democratic ' rule than - any place else in the !whole world. And how right they . are?and how much bettor off. We are too apt as a people to p think, first of what our govern- p mention do for uft?rather than what we can do to help make our y government better. Democracy is '.w not a gift. It is the expression of n free men and must he earned and paid for by each succeeding gene- j} ration.
