in an ogani'^a,tion to which I be- !
long, there is one man who knows I
himself. Everyone looks up to |
?^ him, for. no1 matter what- -fhe^ ctr? |
cumstances, they know that he will
ift. decide according to what he thinks ^'
is right for him to do, with the result
that he is ' always fair t o ;
am... others.
There is a great deal of differm.
tnCe between oerjiff egotistical and '
being self-contained?just - a s |
great a difference as that between
isolationism, which is the egotism
I of a nation, and self-sufficiency.
One is the front, the other a future.
Know yourself and live up '<
to yourself. Be yourself. You <
will feel fear vanishing because
you are sure. .
-??-Be your own master. It isn't
easy, but its rewards arc great.
Therein lies the only real freedom
from fear, because the solution to (
any and all problems lies -within
ones self.
Fnd out what you believe and i
why. Then you won't be swayed j
by momentary emotion or by unreasoning
prejudice. You will be ;
Hl~v sure and secure, able to go ahead '
fc.,. because you knn.v whore y?>u ar. (
Iio ue sen contained, inciepen- (
dent and self-reliant is to belong
to one'a self. It! mrtins that you I
will not need to lean on others or |
to depend on what they can do foi <
you, or to feel that to get ahead
yap must push others aside.
And don't be afraid to change
vour mind. It doesn't make any !
difference what your opinion has

y changes. We are beginning to see j
things in their global significance

SOUTHERN NEGRO
In the appointment of Dr. P. R
Young to membership on the revamped
Fair Employment Prae
tices committee, President Roose
velt was not only honoring a grea
nran, but he was recognizing th<
rrsing leadership which Dr. Y ounj;
embodies. Too long already tin
Southern Negro leadership h>
been treated as a cipher i n t lie
equation of national affairs. 'Witithe
rise and advancement of ou*
fine colleges and wrth^tbe-gTavtta
tion of our best minds toward
these new centers of lenrninthere
is no good reason why th
voter of the Southern Negro lea.,
er may not be heard in its ov.t
behalf.
As a-man of affairs Dr. P. Bei
nard Young of Norfolk has arriy
ed. His ability as a business man
and his ability as an editor; hi:
elevation to the chairmanship o
the board of trustees of Howar
university ana n/s icaacrsinp o
the Southern Conference of Rac
Relations peculiarly set him apar
'?"? of th.? ulalwui-tH of fchu=
generation. As a member of *th>
i-EPC Di. fruung will nut bt!
tacular, for his whole life, and en
icor preclude such possibility. Bu
ivhen it comes dovn to sane ap
praisals and line discrimination
nations that will conic under tli
and sagacious analyses of the sit
purvey of this committee, coupleci
with courage to speak and act, Dr
Young will give the Negro race ;
representation that will be abb
and constructive.
Above all, Dr. Young is going t>
give poise to^a situation that nceu
it gravely. There may lie a plat
in the .scheme of. things for ex
t re mist Negroes who am adept a_
capturing the popular acclaim b>
clever public utterances of scnti
merits that belie their better judg
meat; but there is also place i...
n man who has the cause of N\
gro betterment at7[heart and win
lias convictions utterly detach?
from "(grandstand considerations.
The recognition that comes wi>
Dr. Young's appointment, furthc
marks Roosevelt as a master niin
indenting with affairs of state. A
ne oi Uie outstanding eliaraetcr
of this generation Dr. P. B. Younc
has arrived!

That congress has at last n\

tiiuse of us who havr been of; r

ism recently made manifest TT
studied attempts to wreck the No.
Deal has sufficient dynamite in i
to destroy our vaunted democracy
.? Tho. thing that Congress seem.bent
on foisting upon the nation i
a thing that the people will no
stand tor; and the sopner wc fao
suc^i ug$" fact the better. Had no
Robsevelt cbme forward with i
New Deal, democracy would have
been dead here in these Unite<
States. When a "runaway con
gress" threatens to undo the so<
ml legislation that has been en
acted under the influence of tli
New Deal, it is threatening to tur,
back the hands on the clock o
