"It is purely a race issue now. If Jve are not satisfied, lt may become political in the Fall," Dr. Harten observed.

Listeners recalled that Dr. Harten. nrdent Hoover campaigner, has withdrawn his support from Republican policies because of its "refusal Jo recognize Negro rights."

Charges Class Interest "That association is good outside New York, but it caters to classes father than masses, and you laboring rren are not big enough for it to help," Dr. Harten asserted. He placed the challenge squarely up to the Negro to fight his own battles.

"There is no Henry Ward Beecrier, no Wendell Phillips to help lis now. We must carry on where these good white leaders have left Advises Defiance The Quander incident, he said, is test case.
