' The N.A.A.C.P. Withdraws
WITHDRA\VAL of the National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People {from the world famous
Scottsboro case leaves the future of the eight condemned
bpys up to any tricky turn of fate. The youths now are re
pfiasented solely by the International Labor Defense, a Com
munist organization which has shown by its tacties tha!
saving the lives of these boys is not its major interest.
© When the L1..D. first entered the case, the Negro press
a§ a class gave it loyal support. But as soon as kindly in
tended criticisms were directed their way, they immediately
turned loose the full force of their invective against anyone
who had the audacity to even think the Reds might not be
conducting things for the best interest of all concerned. The
N.A.A.C.P.—an organization which has done more for the
Negro than any other of its purpose yet founded—was be
rated and attacked in the most vicious manner Communistic
brains could devise As a result, the race’s newspapers have
gradually drifted away and todav only an unthinking few
can be found to rally around its banner.
The way in which the Reds have alienated the Negro
press—a force which kept friendly, might have meant the
success of Communism among Negroes—is tvpical of the
organization’s blundering methods and of what may be ex
pected with them before the court at Scottsboro.
The eight boys dead would be as great an aid to Red
propaganda as the eight boys set free. Let them be electro
cuted. and the cries of “white canitalistic leral lvnchings”
may be raiseé¢ throughout the civilized world with greater
vehemence than ever before and the yvoung “martyrs” will
be pointed out as a prize excuse for the immediate downfall
of capitalism and a whelesale rallying to the standards of
Sovietism. Let them go free. and the Reds may then point
to a notable victory over “‘white chauvinism” and assert
that such intended miscarriages of justice could be checked
every day if the “masses” were aroused and joined the
Communists. As it stands the Reds cannot lose either way.
The N.A.A.C.P. has done everything in its power ex
cept take out lifctime memberships with the Communists in
its efforts to cooperate with the International Labor De
fense at Scottsboro. They have made overtures—and have
been answered with fresh and vitriolic invectives. They have
spoken not one weord against the principles of Communism
,\ffet the Communists have hurled wholecale broadside:
diatribes at the Association collectively and at i1 dual
members. Lawyers retained by the NAAC T 1ive even
had their nast lives torn asunder. Clov v 0 paw and Ay
thur Garfield Hays, two of tha " iryished sttorneys
in A‘.fl("‘i"" twhoer veoova * roilsboro would mean more
thon an army of Chamlees and Brodskyve were refused per-
Mssion to cooperate in the trinl vnless it was publiely an
r%unced they were under Red control.
¢ This is but another of the thousand proofs that the
(gjmmunists want publicity, not victory.
§- The eight boys and their parents may be pardoned for
their becoming blind to any but Red defense. All born and
rearcd in the prejudiced Sonth, poor and not poszessed of
much education, they rallied immediately to the principles
of an organizaticn preaching social equality and an econo
mic level where no man would be richer than his neighbor.
The parents, for the first time in their lives treated with
respect by whites, representing Communism, swallowed all
this bait and begged for more which has been fed them al
most daily. At the prigon, Red emissaries-whites-visited the
boys and treated them on equal footing, gave them money,
and achieved the same results which were obtained with
their relatives.
In other words, the Reds capitalized on the natural
longings of an oppressed people. The suceess of their tac
tics stands as an indictment against the Negro attitude of
the entire South.
But the major question at issue is: What of the con
demned eight boys? Will they be sacrificed on the double al
tar of Red propaganda and race prejudice as evidenced in
Dixie courts? Or will the civilized white people of Dixie pre
vent the impending atrocity?
Opinions expressed in this column, which will appear oces
sionally, are not necessarily shuared by The World but are purery
those of the writer,

“Wide Open Spaces’ Best for Race
; By Drusilla Dunjee Houston
| It is the desire of the President
510 stir sentiment, to the end that
man may seek happthess through
founding good homes. Passing laws
will not do this. In looking at this
advance we must not feel that we
as a race are helpless. Negroes
spend and have laying in white
banks more than enough capital to
solve any of our most pressing prob
lems. We have not yet iearned how
to use this money. After the Tulsa
riots, Negroes drew millions - of
money out of Tulsa banks. Just
now in America white and black
men are looking for new avenucs
along which to make money. 1
know of no soupder way or 4 more
il.t—(-ucd one than the setting oft of
restricted districts for the colored
iz.z.m who wants to rear his children
Laway from vice influences.
You muy not realize this necessi
tv. I moved into a semi-business
aistrict to experiment witn the idea
of starting manufactories among
‘Negroes on a small scale. I was a
mazed to hear groups of young
Negroes passing, u=ing blasphemous
language. 1 grew up to woman
hood without knowing the words
that make a curse. Like yuu, I had
been sheitered. There are parents
who refuse to live in sections of
America lax in such iactters. No
ideal child can be reuared i:: the at
mosphere where prostitu‘ion, quar
relings and slashings occur. In the
restricted Negro dis:ict the colored
boy and girl must see uand hczar
things that blast inno-'ence and
sear higher attributes o: the soul.
There are black fathers and moth
ers who would cross America to
find scme place that would offer
them protection from these influ
ences that ruin child soul.
White people knowing this, have
restricted districts, where their litt
le children are free of salacious in
fluences. can live in a clean at
mosphere. I vou do not think so.
so up into one of their restricted
districts and spcut a little profanity
or stage a ‘“cattle scene” such as our
children have to see in unsupervi
sed parks and you will find out
whether they absolutely regulate
these things for the satety and hap
piness of their homes. My heart
aches for these things for black boys
and girls The best Negro cannot
live beside bootlegging and prosti
tution without his children being
contaminated. These things are os
contagious as smaM pox or yvellow
fever. There is no prevention from
them but isolation.
There are many decent, God
fearing black men and women who
today are helpless to save their
children, for our children will rule
in whatever the atmosphere is that
urrounded their life in formative
vears. This is why leaders appear
| have children worse sometimes
than ch dren in plain homes. They
are born with t'i» nature to ruie, 1f
Teader: hip does not fight vice, their

the abstract and stir up the emo
tions of the people about evil far
away, but when it comes down to
lending a genuine fight right here
jon earth, that might cut off our
bread and butter, we are not there.
Let us lewve these strets and parks
polluted with such abominations
and go with our children back to
the wide open spaces, where we
can breath again God's heaven sent
pure air. Already white and color
ed firms are cutting up secticns
into one lot, one acre, and five
acre tracts. Do not buy blindly.
See that transportation is worked
out. The President is asking cities
to co-operate with such firms to se
cure all things requisite to sanita
tion, carriage, and RESTRICTIONS.
Restriction will attract to these
plots; a better class of folk, more
sure of meeting their obligations.
There are too many people in the
cities. Already a movement has
begun back to the land. Land now
1is cheap. This movement will make
{land dearer in rural districts. You
‘wnuld be surprised at the intelli
gent voung couples that came to
me a few years ago to rent a small
farm of mine outside the city. They
were tired of the artificial life of
the city. Their nerves were un

iit a biessed privilege to allot it to

Do not think for a moment that
[ am speaking of districts for those
of the race possessing money. We
must concern ourselves about the
great moss who must live in little
cottages, who first must be helped.
They are the backbone of a nation.
Among them will be found less un
codliness than in our fashionable
homes. Some of my friends of the
vpper classes tell me that in Negro
districts, lying close to the very best
homes. are crime breeding nesy:
that they fear to fight and from
which they cannot eschpe. The
white man as he grows richer
moves into a suburban home He
wiants a purer, healthier atmosphere
for his sons and daughters. Oul
children are worth our making
these changes, that the finer things
in them, untrammeled, may burst
