V I y* * MEANTS 'n' COMMENTS By Wm. McKinlcy Bowman L MEANTS There i?i a movement being t sponsored by some of our leaders _ to nut our needs squarely before . the white people. The, leaders ~ eell it the movement to I the white people." This movement j- has my support to the fullest _ex-_. , tent, because I think it is one Kthing that" will go a long way toward solving the Race Problem.. i I have talked with the whites. North, East. South and Westernd I have found with very few ex? oeptions two ideas concerning the i Negro. 1. He is either, happy go-lucky fellow, not capable ol 1 responsibilities or 2. lie is an , educated "smart-alock." wanting to intermingle socially with white 1 people. The first type of Negro must be constantly bossed, and brow-beaten to get any work'out of him or to make him perform a given task; he is pictured as a i iH/.y gouu tor mailing. ' that will give away a fortune, if it in terferes with his solitude; so saYs whites oU my acquaintance. - The?second type is too smart I for~"any good:_thcy cheat The F poor, uneducated Negro. He i s i constantly stirring up trouble. Hi I- is one tu mind anil Keep tn place. 1 they will tell you. A very few I know added a 1 third type of Nogro. He was what . they called a "good Negro," o 1 "Uncle Tom or John," as the - cas(." may be. lie is a loyal Nor gj'o be trusted with their chil1 dren; one who loves the white children morc than they lovt> colored, themselves. One who will bow. scrape and smile. These are j the three types I havt, found flint exist according to- the white j>co_ pie. s Of course we have some in out f race who answer these descripj tions, hut they are just ap far f from representing our entire race as John I/illinger represented the whiteQ race. There is no need for r mr to tnfk-abottt the-proptr1" o f our race whites do not know, but I am saying that-those brother have undertaken a good . task, however I am worried ;.s to if the white Americans want to ltarn. . 1 >IT.

Tne Atlanta itatemelYl was designed as a coun tier-part to the Durham statement. ,oi!i trn addressed to the critical situation developing by reason of strained relations resulting from wai^ conditions and the complications thereof. Both statements faced squarely a grim situation which taxed t0 the uttermost the deliberative genius of the two races. Both groups had to steer between the Scylla of white extremism on the one hend and the Charybdis of Negr0 evtremism on he other. In the nature of things both groups evidenced a wholesome'caution without which some promising and well-conceived plans mieht have been wrecked without a fair trial. Utlg of the hopeful signs that followed the Durham conference was the absence of any considerable destructive criticism. The criticism that did appear only showed by contrast how deep was the appreciation" of Negroes tor the heroic attempt of the southern -Negroes to i-penk up in their own behaif. The prssure being exerted on the Negro in the nortn made the northern Negro appreciative. s>? the problem that faced th0 southern Negroes who were trying to find a way out of a deswhich the 5,000 copies of tlje pubperato situation. The wtjiy r p listed statement wer,, sought and the accelerating demand for the remaining 2,000 copies by whites and Negroes- throughout the ^'nifof the interest and appreciation of this countt y for what the Negroes tried to do at Durham last October Now that tlie white conference has met and released such heartening statement we arc emboldened to greater efforts with highei hopes. No intelligent man or wo| mm expects that the meeting of i the two confi enccs and their two I .statements ^will over-night dissolve the problems surrounding [ race rclatons in the south. It rs juiU' conceivable that even now negotiations may break down at some critical point; but w\> have latte a very mavo hog-hilling! ?TTTtrr?rtrr?A Ma at A " statement; 'Either to deny or ignorv th<.> increased tension between the races vould be a gestur0 of insincerity i'he Durh; in statement is so frank .'lid -courageous,. so fret of_anj . ui'gestion of threat ami ultima tunr?that_JWe^ gladly?ayrep to eo. operate." An?i referring to tin )urham group again it continue: These Negro leaders rightfullj laced emphasis in their state lent on discrimination in the ad nini.strr.tion of our laws on pure y racial grounds. \\ ?> are sensi ivc to this charge and admit thai it is essentially just . . .

No southerner can log :cully dispute the fact that th? -*epro. i s an Aniercian citizen, n unfiled to his civil rights and cc momic opportunities." . The white southern leaderg goi lown to brass tacks when the} said: "\Ve favor the correction o liscrimiiiations in the allocatioi ! of school funds, in the numbei j and quality of the schools, and ir I the salaries of the teachers am I in the distribution fo public uitlr I ties and public benefits such a: ! sewers, water, housing, street am i side walk paving, playgrounds ' miKJvr*.

False arrests, brutal beat ings and other evils must be stopped. Then these southern leaders^ came to grips with the stark realities whon they said 'A well-train ed, well-employed, and prosperous population is th0 only hope for the economic future of the south." When they linked the Negro with the economic destiny of the south they spok0 in language that will be heard. Such straight talk from the white south in answer to such straight talk from the Negro south gives ground for hope. If the Durham conference accomplish 110 more than to draw from ihtse two sectors of southern life statements of noble purpose i t has wrought Ja mighty blessing upon the cause.
