He la well acquainted with the great expense of such enterprise. Unless he has some undisclosed endowment for this new adventure its fate is easy to foretell. The January issue deals with the problem of birth. The cor respondent merely throws off his has ty opinion, suggestlug race suicide through birth control. If this Is a fair rample of what Is to follow, the Crtals will miss Its function. Opportunity. TheBronxeman or Abbott's Magaxine might cover such topics in personal opinions and short story as well as the endowed organ of the N. A. A. C. P. The Crisis is not endowed for this. It is not likely that it can hope to make a race wide appeal beyond other competing magazines and newspaper* in the field of research and survey. The N. A. A. C. P. is sending out the S. O. S. calling upon the race to save tbla militant organization to fight its battle for equal rights. Let us hope that It will not be aide-tracked Into scientific and sociological discussions which can better be conducted under other agencies and auspices. The Bu reau of Research of Fisk University ts much better equipped for such work that the Criais may reasonably hopa to be. certainly In these days of de pression. It ts too true as the Crista states that the situation has changed enormously during the past quarter of a century since the N. A. A. C. P. was organised. The world today ts pay ing little heed to human rights, hut rather to the new God of technocracy which has to do with the production and distribution of material goods and the many social problems it has been presented for the past half century. The young college-bred Negro haa lit tle time and patience with it. The N. A. A. C. P. does not appeal to the Imagination of the people, white or black. But It has the dynamic motive and la based upon everlasting princi ple. The task is not done nor should It he abandoned until the Negro race ■ Is thoroughly aroused to the doctrine of equality before and behind the law. Although all men should abandon this principle, yet should not we. The race has looked to Dr. DuBois to carry on the work laid down by Frederick Dong- lass, In whom there was no variable ness nor shadow of turning from De- claratlon of Independence and the Con stitution of the United States.
