DO IT YOl Its ELF
The local chapter of a national Greek
fraternity observed last week, Better
Business Week. It sponsored a panel dis¬
cussion on ways of improving business
among Negro business men. Many ways
of doing this w ere suggested, perhaps too
maud ell to be digested at one sitting.) such
as belter ‘ records-keeping, improvement in
lighting and display, better cooperation

is, the iljis ptmel virtually did not overlook the Hovygyec, fact that
there are other and more controlling rea-
sons for this fact than race. Some of these
reasons were given.
But timely and interesting as the dis¬
cussion was, there 1 was no indication that
plans were afoot for implementation of
the suggestions. Business is one of the
areas in which Negroes must make tre¬
mendous improvement, for his economic

phase of race re hit ions. Negro business
men sell goods or services, or both, and
they ought to know how much money
how many people earn and have to spend
annually and they ought to make plans
to satisfy honestly their needs and wants.
In Savannah the Negro market is
roughly about $16,000,000. This ought
challenge Negro business and professional
men. It mean* hartify? not only that a luU.oi
money is in la be spent, but also

way of making use-gf this money po-
teutial, which have been used success¬
fully in other j duces: the organization
of loan companies! the forming of Credit
Union' and the organization of Consumer
Cooperatives. A Company started in At¬
lanta about, ten yogi's ago was doing, at
the last annual report, a ten million dol¬
lar business, supplying the money which
made Atlanta an outstanding community
for the type of homes owned by Negroes.
Mr. C S. Schuyler reports that in Sacra¬
mento, California, an NAACP Credit
Union crew from 185 to 586 members
during 1956, "loans increased from $85,-
500.;;2 to $114,012.20 . . . that total as¬
sets of the Credit Union are $120,507.29."
This union is sponsored by the NAACP,
but “fourteen loyal churches and organi-
za 1 ions are using credit union facilities
to deposit their savings and make loans
for improvements.” A Consumer Coop¬
erative was organized in Savannah 22
years ago and was a complete success,
that is, it did everything a consumer, co¬
operative was supjtosed to do: it* paid
patronage dividends, it competed with

holders. It failed only in the sense that
it could not sell itself and its operations, operations
to 100 people. When it ceased
it paid to every member from three to
lour times as much as he had put into it.
These plans are sound. They need good
leadership to put them into execution.
Unfortunately, the failure of one or two
Negro banking institutions some thirty
years ago, furnishes excuse for the timid
to say “never again,” despite the fact
that a savings and loan company is do-
.ing well and increasing yearly in its as-
sets, and confidence. This is one ol the
strongest . 4u. nA-.M.I ,'AiidAtid reasons for Vi »i» /1 disabusing I *« M l \ I 1 U i »1 (t the t

doubt that Negroes can not operate a loan

ple who earn more than $16,000,000 an¬
nually can support at least one credit
union, one consumer cooperative and two
loan and savings companies. Atlanta,
Columbus, Albany, Wayeross and Dur¬
ham, North Carolina, show that Negroes
are able and willing to buy and build
nice homes when they can get the money

NO GET RICH SCHEMES
We mentioned Consumer Cooperatives
and Credit Unions as ways by which
Negroes can make use of their earnings
to control the production and sales of
goods and services, and to provide credit
for some of their needs. These nations
or movements are not get rich schemes
for enterprising individuals. They are
lot' the benefit of those who
haV*!*ahlHifflry wfwffra, Who desihe to make
their dollars buy the most and the best,
and who wish to have a say-so in the
management of the institutions set up
to help them.
From the point of view of management
and ownership, the consumer cooperative
has no "big fish” because the members
share equally in providing the needed the cap¬
ital and have an equal voice in elec¬
tion of officers and other controlling per-
\somiel, and share equitably in the profits
which come from member patronage,
k” The credit union can be organized by
individuals who have a common bond or
interest: such as the members of a
church, club, ol persons engaged in the
same sort Yd' work — longshoremen, cat)
or bus drivers, or teachers, or members
of mi NAACP chapter or branch. Instruc¬
tions for setting up these institutions are
available from a government agency, or
used to be. At any rate, there is a way
to get the information needed to organize
them.
PILGRIMAGES?
Someone has observed that the pilgrim¬
age to Washington would be of question¬
able value for achieving the ends sought
by its sponsors, because the same sort of
thing could be undertaken by those who
are opposed to the cause the sponsors
espouse. Of course, it is too early to
assess the reaction to the pilgrimage, but
the observation is untenable as an argu¬
ment against the pilgrimage. We could
gii along with any pilgrimage that had
for its object the 'protesting of the vio¬
lation of essential human rights' that are
inherent in our American democracy.

This meeting, Mr. Wilkins
the assembled throng, “calls to
fellow Americans of every

Distressed by the lack of

the establishment of a “third

NEW YORK, May 16. Th<
purpose of segregation "is not, an'
never has been, the physical sep
a ration of the races,” Roy Wilkins
NAACP executive secretary, as
sorts in an article in the May is
sure of Current History magazine
Pointing out that the white ran
would be at a loss without thi
“domestic and personal’ services
of Negroes, Mr. Wilkins declares
that "maintenance of . . . the caste
system is the sole purpose of seg- r
rogation.” rights
“Such a system,” the civil
leader observes, “assigns to the
lowliest white person a place in
the southern scheme superior to
that of any Negro of whatever
culture, talent or wealth. Thus
the southern white is assured a
place of superiority without the
necessity of competing on the basis
of individual merit. This end i?
achieved by designating certain
social, economic and physical areas
as ‘off limits’ to Negroes.”
Mr. Wilkins’ article, “Desegre¬
gation North and South” appears
in an issue of Current History de¬
voted to “Integration: The South’s
Historic Problem.”
Noting that “segregation is by
no means confined to the South,
the article maintains that never¬
theless “fundamental differences”
between the North and South exist
“which should not be overlooked.”
Among these differences, the au¬
thor says, are the lack of legal
sanctions for segregation in the
North, the "substantial public sup-
; port” for integration in the North,
and the northern Negro’s political
pow’er which “assures official con¬
sideration of his wishes.

However, ... it is a basic

fallacy to try to equate Jin: Crow

and quantitatively.
“For example, the de facto seg¬

other non-southern cities are no t If,

the result
they are the result of the extra-
legal discrimination which re¬
stricts the great bulk of the Ne¬

the North is the problem of hous¬ • i,
ing discrimination. Housing is the
one basic commodity which the -h
Negro cannot, as a rule, purchase ,{
in the open market either North or

“Various devices have been pro¬
posed to achieve integration in
northern schools, but extensive in¬

Negro gains freedom of residence.
“Residential segregation is being
attacked in the North and these
efforts, like others in the racial
