We return to these articles not so much to call attention to the glaring distortions and inaccuracies of the dailies since most of those who will read this are well aware of the capi- talist press’ possession of these char- acteristics, or to expose the utter demoralization of that part of the Negro press which copied these ar- ticles verbatim. We return to prove that the condition of the Negro in America is not improving and for the purpose of revealing to the masses of Blacks the peril of that position today. Along with the press attacks be considered as being in the same category and certainly of equal im- portance in awakening the masses of Negroes to the dire necessity of a new Negro policy was the Locke- Stoddard debate can America Ab- sorb the Negro?” carried in the col- umns of the October Forum.

On May 30th (Memorial Day) of this year a group of fascisti, mem- | bers of the rascist League of North America, were on their way down- town to take part in a memorial day parade.

There was only one actual eyewit- ness to the crime. He is Giocoma Caldora. Caldora.is a fascist himself. He is the head of Il Duce Fascist Al- liance. There was a time when he was a member of the Fascist League of North America, but differences of | policy arose and a factional struggle within the organization tore it asun- crediting of Burns is not yet deter- mined. Burns has been employed by many of the biggest financial powers in the country, and his private file of documents embarrassing to powerful persons is extensive. He is a danger- ous man, from the standpoint of busi- magnates who might offend him. » the Republican national com- at his downfall, now that the | Harding regime is more or less liqui- dated by death and time, it may be taken as certain that neither Chair- man Butler nor President Coolidge will take any step that would provoke Burns to turn upon them.
