The following points were emphatically stated in the self-styled "allergic editor", that: 1. The so-called educated Negro youth is restless with the condition of the race, and may stir the 95 per cent of the illiterate into dissention and thus create racial antagonism. 2. That the condition of Negroes in Oklahoma and the South is all-right. 3. That competition between the races brings on race hatred. 4. The race must first of all become settled on the land and become producers. 5. The race is oftentimes misled by "Quack Leaders". The question was asked: Do you believe that there should be Negro mail carriers, truck drivers, water meter readers, etc., which would serve the Negro districts? The editor was in favor with such a system if such were to operate entirely in the Negro district. The editor then assured that young people were not radical but sought to discuss their problems based on facts and study. Assurance was given him that Negro youth wanted carriers, etc., in the Negro district with equal wages paid. He was surprised somewhat at that stand which was taken by Negro Youth coincided somewhat with his on the matter of land-ownership. An invitation was extended to speak to the Youth Council at some further date.
