Noel E. Sping: arn, Betrayed Negroes! During World War, Advocating Jim Crow | Training Camp for Negro Officers By CYRIL BRIGGS NEW YORK.—The election of Maj- pr Joel E. Spingarn, one of the white bourgeois directors of the National Association -for the Advancement of Colored People and a supporter dur- Ing the war of the government's Jim Crow policy, 2s head of that reform- ist organization, has rousesd the wrath of the Negro masses through- put the country. According to the New York News, a. Harlem Negro petty bourgeois newspaper with its own record of betrayals, “a storm is brewing within the ranks of N. A. A. O. P. branches | throughout the country.” These branches, composed almost exclusively of petty bourgeois ele- ments who consistently betray the struggles of the Negro masses, fear that the election of Spingran as head of the anization, will destroy the influence of the organi- zation among the iaasses, on account of his advocacy during the war of Jim Crow officers training camp for Negroes. ‘They also attribute to his Influence the treacherous ‘Crisis’ editorial “Close Ranks,” in which Dr. Du Bois called upon the Negro masses to surrender their interests to the in- terests of their white ruling class oppressors. To the Negro workers the election ‘xf Spingran to succeed the late More- field Storey, another white bourgeois | “friend” of the Negroes, as head of | |the N. A. A. ©. P., is additional proof | |of the nature of that organization as | an instrument of the white ruling class to divert the struggles of the Negro masses into futile, reformist channels and away from a revolu- tionary struggle against Negro op-| |pression and lynching and for the right of the Negro majorities in the South to determine and control their jown govrenment and its relation to} |the United States and other govern- | ments, | Spingran hes the effrontery to at- tempt to justify his betrayal of the | N2gro masses during the war on the excust that while the Negroes at- |tacked him at firsj, the Negro petty | bourgeois traitors “later backed him | becauses the camp he was responsible | for at Des Moines had placed 1,000 | Negro officers in the war.” It is reported that the Negro petty bourgeois elements wanted James J. |Johnson, a Negro flunkey of im- perialism, to head the organization. | |Johnson’s election would no doubt {have helped somewhat to cover up the treacherous role of the N. A. A. \c. P. As it is, the choice of Spin- |gran thoroughly exposes the nature lof the organization as a tool of the |white oppressing class, posing as “fiends” of the oppressed Negro : masses.

The only bunch treated worse than the Negroes seem to be the marine workers. For them “a ship to ac- commodate 1,500 idle seafaring men,” costs only $50,000. But the Salvation Army does not only draw a color line, it draws a definite class line among the work- ers. $50,000 is enough for, “idle sea- faring men” but $100,000 is.provided for “loans and grants.to white-collar group.” Practically all the lamenting done in the interview is for this “white collar group.” Brigadier George Darby. “confidential counceilor” for} this white collar unemployed, states that within 48 hours after establish- ing the bureau-he-heads, 1,000 per- sons applied for help: During the first three weeks,’ 1,778 persons ap- plied.

Rybicki, head of the City Welfare Department, stated Sunday. “Now that the Christmas holiday is over and many establishments are dismissing their extra help engaged for the season, the need for added jobs is increasing.” But Rybicki isn’t starving and can afford to be hope- ful. He says, “We hope during the coming year for an increased flow of jobs from stores, offices and fac- tories.” He gives no reasons for this cheer- fulness, and none exist.
