Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 26.—The right of the American negro to broader politi- cal, economic and educational advan- tages, based on a pride of race but never on -an aspiration for social equality, was ehampioned by President Harding here today in a plainly worded enunciation of his views on the whole American race problem. ASKS PRRJUDICES GoO. These are some of the principles on which the president appealed to the nation to ‘‘lay aside old prejudices and old antagonisms’’ and give support to a constructive policy of racial relation- ship: ‘‘Politically and economically there need be no occasion for great and perma- nent differentiation, provided on both gides there shall be recognition of the absolfte divergence in things social and racial.”’ “I would say let the black man vote when he is fit to vote; prohibit the white man voting waen he is unfit to vote.”’ I wish that both the tradition of a solidly Democratic soutn and the tradi- tion of a eolidly Repubiican black race might broken up.’’ “1 willild insist upon equal educational opporfnity for both.”’ ‘A, of both races may well stand unce yomisingly against every sugges ti sial equality. This is no¢ a stion of social equality. but a questicn recognizing a fundamental, eternal, & escapable difference.”’ “‘Racial amalgamation there cannot be. Partnership of the races in developing the highest aims in all humanity there must be, if humanity is to achieve the ends which we have set for it,” ““The black man should seek to be and he should be encouraged to be, the best D ..ible black man and not the possible im:tltion of a white man.”’ SoUTH’S INDUSTRIAL RECOVERY The president’s address, which brougbt him from Washington on his first ex- tended trip into the south since inaugura- tion, was delivered at a semi-centennial celebration of the founding of the city of Birmingham. Jt was devoted almost exculsively to the race question although Mr. Harding also took occasion to praise the south for its ind ‘strial recovery and to renew his faith in the world leader- ship of a re-united nation. He said in part: ““The World war brought us to full re- cognition that the race problem is nation- al rather than merely sectional. There are no authentic statistics, but it is eom- mon knowledge that the World war was marked by a.ov~-* migration of colored people to tm ..ith and west. They were attracte” by the demand for labor and the higher wages offered. It ha: brought the question of race closer to the north and west, and [ believe it has serv- ed to modify somewhat the views o those sections on this question. It hus made the south realize its industria: de- pendence on the labor of the black man and made the north realize the difficul- ties of the community in which two graat differing faces are brought to live side by side. Ishould say that it has been responsible for a larger charity on both sides, a beginning of better understand- ing: and in the light of that better un derstanding perhaps we shall be able to considerthis problem together as a pro- blem of all sections and of both races, in whose solution the best intelligences of both must be enlisted. ~ "Indeed we will be wise to recognize it as wider yet. Whoever will take the time to read and ponder Mr. Lothrop Stoddard’s book on The Rising Tide of Color, or say the thoughgful review of
