cena consciously and clearly to set before them-selves and at once follow three program; whichalways appear, disappear and re-appear amongus andjet all are logical and rational and notcozutradictory. First. a program of immediateobjectives, March, 1942; Admission into laborunions without discrimination; share of defensei°§I: �ghting all new appearances of racial dis-crimination; attacking the oldest and weakestof in-nier distrirn.i.nation;_ Q3, 101- Lnglgncgl thedenial oi accommodations in Pullman ears, thedenial of admission to publicly supported placesof recreation; demand tor equal pay in returnlo: equal ser92_'ices. These end s half dozen othermatters varying from place to place and fromtime to time are immediate demands which theArncrican Negro should make. The movement togsm them ought to be put into the hand-, otyou-ng and energetic men and women, who areready to ncriiice place, popularity and moneyin order to advance the interests of the Negrorace. It is improbable that all these objectivucan be reached within the next few years and alloi them are worth trying tor.

New Group Treasonlooond, group pressure and organization: Thisis a program or careful offensive and defensive

organization. It should tight for effective and:0rnplete education even Lt that involves separateeducational institutions. it �ghts �tor economiciecurity and such a measure of economic auton-uily as is necessary and possible in order to se--ure Negroer a decent income, so that they canupport their own iristitutions. it would involveonsumers cooperation and, wherever teasible,lroducers cooperation; racial business organiza-92'mi.,.racial institlitioris like churches and socialettlenaenm. It would look I01-ward toward therganimtion of adequate rec:-eational facilities,ot simply tor cliildren but tor yoliths and adults;rgsnized social activity giving the opportunityir young people oi marriageable age to meetrider the proper circumstances and choose their

mates by deliberation and not by sheer chance.The organization or homes and neighborhoods sols to be protected, not only from slum influences,but from race hate; and the encouragement orfamily life and the reproduction of an adequatenumber of children to maintain our present pop-elation.

All these we are doing with with h�il-int�?and often lack oi conviction. We are iorcefintothese lines of effort by race prejudice and in ourresentment against rsoe prejudice we allow our-leivee often to plan and organize poorly or notat ail. This work should be carried on by themiddle-aged group, liberal in education andthought, and fairly secure in their economic sur-roundings. lt need have no quarrel with theyoung radicals. On the other hand, it can oitenfurnish them sinew-s or war and advice, and inEm at tbeir program It may be possible for

em to share, Nevertheless, their main objectis to put the Negro group today in a position orsecurity and progress, whether or not that in-woivq sep-egation lnd group loyalty. �

one of

upon by negro lodges and Civic organizations to make addresses,that he had heard him make several talks but had never heard him say any-thing which would indicate that he is subversive.

5 The subject according to this informant, while not a memberof the Communist Party was one who was known to be in sywathy with theSouthern Negro Iouth Congress and who had contributed money to this Con-gress. The infonmant added that she had o definite information whichwould indicate that the subject knew f!i.£§9uthe_;'n�Negr° ...YQL11'¢ha§JQn,g,'re_s_swas dominated by Communists but she believed he would have such ktnovzleigeinasmuch as he is an intelligent man. This informant concluded that shewould make a special effort to find out when the subject was to speaknext md would be in attendance at his talk in an effort to ascertainwhether he was spreading propaganda through his speeches.

In order to obtain some indication of the subject's attitudeand tendencies in foreign sympathies the writer read parts of "Dusk ofDawn", a book edited by the writer in 191.0. This book was copyrightedin 1940 by Harcourt, Brace and Company, Incorporated and is an essaytoward an autobiography of a race concept. It also contains the writerisautobiography.

Information was contained in this book that the subject wasborn February 23, 1868 at Great Barrington, llassachusetts and that hisancestral family was divided into whites, blacks and mulattoes, most ofthem being mulattoes. The subject wrote and published a number of booksfrom 13$�; 3.1.. on-51'. 191,0 most of which dealt with the problems of the negrorace.

The following are quotations from the book, "Dusk of Dawn"edited by the subject on the date mentioned above: ' .

A vehement attack on the Gov-ernment ot the United States asthe only one in the world thatwanted war, and on the Repub-licans and Democrhts for their�bipartisan policy of war" wasmade last night by Dr. WilliamE. IB. Du_Bois, American Laborparty candidate for United StatesSenator. _

Dr. Du Bois addressed 1,500 per-sons at a campaign rally in theGolden Gate Ballroom, Lenox Ave-nue and 142d Street. Much ofhis long speech was devoted to e.social history oi� Harlem as thetocus oi� Negro progress in the lee�.hundred years. Dr. Du Boia md�a reputation as historian and writ-�er beiore becoming active in leftistpolitics.

�ourselves, give up health and�schools, sacrifice our sons to a;jim-crow army. and commit sui-�cide for.a world war that nobodyiwants but the rich Americans whoprofit by it.�

With a scornful reference toGen. Douglas MacArthur, Dr. DuBola declared: �Let us stop theantics of the Wild Man of Tokyo
