Changed Attitudes

The American Negro today feels more like an American
than he did before the World War; He thinks clearly
on international affairs than he did before 1916
Nothing apty illustrates this fact than the chang
ing attitude of American Negroes towards Japan Years
the coord people who read and chooed and those
who not trained greatly admired the enterprise and
warike attitude of little brown Japan Elders heard
say that should Japan attack this country because she
member of the darker the invaders might be received
cordially by the oppressed black brothers.
There those who will deny this but it is true that
large portion of Negro America actually worhpped the aps

pity
Today practically all of that worship interest and SYM
pahy which Negro America exhibited for jaunty Japan is
Whether this because this group of people feels
keenly its American citizenship whether events and
Japans pugnacous attitude have changed the feeling of
naturally sympathetic people toward her is not completely
clear All know is that today most Negro fellow
meet out of sympathy with Japan the former idol
of the American black
An important element in this phenomenon is the chang
ing international values the rise of class struggles and the
wholesale campaign to include the Negro in such movements
With Fascism and Communism battling for supremacy the
Negro has become that while he citizen of the
world he is also citizen of America and that his future is
tied up with Americans and the dream of joining hands with
brothers of similar hue is far away.

youth Must Be Served"
l wasn't as firmly convinced of
that dozen or SO years ago as ]
have become since.
About that time a young fellow
came to me as he did to number
of other Minneapolis citizens, to
interest US in a newspaper he pro-
posed to start. l wasn't much in
terested. He was only about
twenty-one. That was the first diff
ficulty. Then l recalled we had
had for years a paper published in
st. Paul. 1t wasn't much of an in
vestment. Its editorials were sent
from Washington, D. c., and had
only a national angle. Its local
news was chiefly the social activi-
ties of those in the higher brackets.
Local advertisers patroniZed it but
little. The publisher was a prac-
teal printer, set his own type and
ran off his own paper. 1t came to
me and to others for years with
never a bill to follow. 1t earned
enough to support one mans fam
lily. That's all anyone seemed to
expect. Remembering all of that l
was cold to the enthusiasm of a
young fellow who thought he could
make a community asset and liv-
ing out of a new weekly.
"But Youth Will Be Served" l
am glad to recall as 1 look back
over those years that l wrote the
first editorial for the new sheet.
For it did start. 1t opened a new
vista to the people of our two
cities. A community paper with a
community outlook. A paper that
looked after the man lowest down
as well as the man highest up.
The young fellow worked on the
railroad while he edited his paper.
He wrote editorials on the way to
Frisco or Chicago or New York
wherever his train was sent and
mailed them back to Minneapolis.
l helped him for two or three
years. But there were factors that
barred progress. He fought
against odds for seven years long
er. He was no longer a young fell
low. A man approaching the line
toward middle age. 1t was time
to cut loose from hampering moor
ings. He cut. Once more in the
field to reach his goal; real paper
with a real objective. This time
he asked no mans help though he
did seek advice. Pooling all his
resources and calling upon all his
energy he began the publication of,
this time, two papers. One for
each twin of the twin towns.
The wiseacres said he might last
month or two. That was all of
four years ago.
Looking back again over those
four years l see one of the most
