we NY 105-8999 "are so great. Small wonder, then, that every four years the eyes of the entire world are tu:ned toward America wondering who will be our next 'god.! "Launching into a bitter criticism and recimination against those who are playing with the lives and the rights of the Negro people in blocking effecive legislation on Civil Rights, Mr. X said 'It is not American Foreign Policy that decides who will get the 'enair,' but rather her Domestic Policy. In this great drama, he continued, ‘the Negroes play the leading role and are being posed a serious problem. The position the American Negro occupies is both strategic and unlque, For, although the Negroes are deprived of most of thetr voting powers yet their diluted vote will swing the balance of power in the Presidential or any other election in this country. What would the role and the position of the Negro be if he had a full voting voice? “'No wonder, then,' he continued, 'the freedom or equal rights struggle of the Negro people is so greatly feared by his enemies.' Standing applause greeted the brilliant young orator as he declared, ‘If the present leaders of the so-called American Negro don't unite soon and take a firm stand with positive steps designed to eliminate immediately the brutal atrocities that are being committed daily against our people; and, if the so-called Negro intelligentsia, intellectuais and educators won't unite to help aiter this nasty and most degrading situation; then,' he sald, ' the little man iIn.the street will henceforth begin to take matters into his own hands, As an example,' he continued, 'the struggle led for Negro job rights by a beautiful ycung Negro woman in Los Angeles, California. Mias Helen Smith, will muitiply 10,000 fold through the width and breath of this land. Beacause, the little man in the street today is fed up with the empty promises of the white man, and the ignorance, and greed that has been causing > our own politicel end reiigious leaders b sell out."
