Thi declaration would be made
in pre conference /public meet­
ing where busine and political
leaders would be invited to attend
and participate.
THE W PAP R in
Region 3 would al 0 propo e a
cooperative marketing plan to ad­
verti ers. with thi plan, adver­
ti ers would have the opportunity to
purchase ad pace in each
newspaper in the region for a set
price.
This is first step to a larger,
stronger, cooperative effort. Ms.
Geary stressed the potential impact
a plan like this could have political­
ly and financially. "We have a lot
of power as the Black press if we
come together as one voice. We
need to do that. Then we will have
a political impact." She continued,
"Then, the people elected as our
leaders wilt have to answer to us.
o When we come together, we will
elect a Black president."

Continued from Page A-1
To date, the U.S. Constitution
till describes African Americans as
three-fifths of a pe n. The only
redress for 400 years of slavery is a
resolution introduced into Congress
by U.S. Representative John Cony­
ers (D-Detroit) providing for a com­
mission to study the effects of
slavery.
The American Congress did vote
$80 billion earlier this year to h lp
the Russians make the transition to a
capitalist system.
According to the Russian plan,
over the next few months, between
5,000 and 7,CXXJ medium and large
factories--about two-thirds of Rus­
sian iooustry-will reorganize into
stock companies. It is hoped the
Russian ci tizens will take their
10,000 rubles and invest in these
companies.
THUS, STATE owned compa­
nies will become private, factory di­
rectors will become stockholders
and Russia's economic reforms will
get a shot in the arm, as stock ex­
changes replace subsidies.
The Russian program is not with­
out its critics or headaches. Delays,
criticism and ignorance all beset the
plan.
A major cri ticism is that it is not
property that is being distributed,
only a voucher worth "two weeks of
a miner's salary, or ten bags of pot a­
toes, or three cases of vodka, or in
dollars, ten cups of coffee in the
West."
There are many options open for
each Russian in disposing of th
vouchers. They can be exchange for
cash, pooled with neighbors to buy a
local store, or held until the right
investment plan materializes.
Poor people might be tempted to
exchange the vouchers for cash im­
mediately and lose out in the long
run, some fear.
"Our goal is not to make each
citizen of Russia a businessman,"
said one Rus ian official. "Our goal
is to Jet each citizen make his own
choice."
African Americans are still wait­
ing for that same opportunity.
