ed at great length here this after
noon. May / advise the members
of the House that the Negro
cit.zenry of the country is moved
by the same patriotic ardor and
possessed of the same aptitude
III any field of national defense
as anyone else.
Negro soldiers fought with
General Braddock in ITS. There
were three or four thousand
Negroes in the Revolutionary
Ahmy.
They made a splendid record
in the war of 1912 and II Ne
groes received the Congressional
Medal of Honor in the War of
1861. I.
They made a splendid rec
ord in h e Spanish American
War and in the World War. The
Eighth Illinois Infantry did
yeoman service in the Spanish
American Wa rof 1898 and was
commanded by a Negro colonel
by the name of John Marshall.
There are today over $50 Ne
gro civilian pilots in the United
States of America. Let no one
say that he Negro has ont the
aptitude for flying the same as
the members of any other race.
Asails Discrimination
I'm view of the fact that they
constitute a very integral por-
ton of the population of this
country, certainly the Congress
does not want to discriminate
agaist them. We have written in
anti-discriminatory provisions
in other enactments heretofore
including the WPA act and the
national defense at, which was
signed by the President of the
third of April, 1889.
Certainly this House with
out dissenting vote, ought to
make sure that there will be no
discrimination with respect to
the program which is to be set
up by the pending bill.
"Mr. Chairman, l hope my
amendment will be agreed to.
(Applause.)
Other Republican Support
In his effort, Mr.. Dirksen was
ably supported by the Hon. Wal
ter G.. Andrews, of New York,
and Hon. Bruce Barton, of the
same state, both Republicans,
The amendment was opposed
by the Hon. Clarnce F. Lea, Cd
CALI Chairman Of the ICFC of
the House of Representatives,
who reported the bill to the
House.
However, when the question
was taken and division called
for, the amendment passed: Aye
II; Noes, So.
The training which is to be
provided for colored civilian pi-
lots at w. Va. State and A and T

has been made possible by the

KILLING $4,000 BABIES a YEAR

In this country in one year $4,000
babies die needlessly!
That is the statement of health ex-
perts, including DIR. Raymond A. Won
derlehr, Assistant Surgeon General of the
United States. Moreover, the doctor says
we have it in our power to save these 25,-
600 babies from death if we will follow the
advice of physicians
What kills these little babies? The
answer is syphilis" It also affects the
Health of $4,000 others, some of whom
are doomed to blindness.
Children will be born healthyeif the
expectant mother will have her blood
tested. If she needs treatment it can be
instituted early enough to insure a healthy
baby, regardless of her own infection.
This may not be nice subject for
some people to think about. Others may
not believe that it should be discussed in
the columns of The Citizen. Well, so far
as we are concerned, we see no reason to
shut our eyes to the truth or to ignore
facts that mean much to the health of the
entire nation.
Our own recommendation is that
every individual, man or woman, should
subject himself or herself to blood test.
There may be no need for it but, just oc-
casionally, somebody may be cured of a
disease that is not suspected. Especially
is this true of those who expect the arrival

TEAMWORK NEEDED HERE

Every Key West baseball fan knows
the Importance of teamwork The best ball
club is usually one that pulls together,
that plays for team success, not individual
glory Nine outstanding individuals playing
individually ordinarily fall before nine
average players functioning as team.
The same truism prevails in nearly
Everything. Examine the inner workings
of a successful community and you find
the individual citizens thereof pulling to-
gether. They work for the community good,
submerging their own selfish desires, their
own personal hatreds, their petty jealou-
sizes, their religious, political and racial be-
liefs. Because they work as unit for the
betterment of the community IN which
they live that community enjoys general
prosperity. It grows and expands and be-
comes great community.
Community teamwork is needed in
Key West. The city is beset with many
pressing problems that cannot be solved
by one individual, few individuals or
small group of public-spirited organiza-
tions Each individual, each set of indivi-
duals and every civic group must be en-
listed under the banner of community
progress.
For more than quarter of a century
the present management of The Citizen
has been observing community life in Key
West We have seen the city grow and then
wither in size, Importance and strength.
Important civic projects have been me-
elected, important payrolls have been lost
and important citizens have moved away.
Progress has been smothered by impotence
by chickering's, by jealousies and by do
nothing attitude generated in the minds
of those fearful anything they might do
might prove beneficial to the other fellow.
These misguided folks swat little flies
with the hammers of destruction.
1t is about time the citizens of this
city realized they sink or swim together.
Every worthwhile project for the general
welfare should have general support re-
CARELESS of individual viewpoint. Any IN
dividual who voices destructive opposition
to progressive movement without offer
ing something constructive in its place is
'retarding Key Vests rehabilitation. He is
simply prolonging our period of inertia
and stagnation.
The Citizen believes that if man
can't play ball with the rest of the team
he should bench himself Key West needs
team players, not temper1nental and dis
rendered individuals.

The above slogan fired the en-
thusiasm of our people to a
white heat in 1917. They went
forth like an armed band OF
crusaders. We landed nearly
two million soldiers on foreign
shores, ready and willing to sacri-
flee their lives to make the world
safe for democracy.
And when victory finally came,
the frenzied celebration that fol-
lowed will never be forgotten. A
wild feeling of frantic happiness
spread through the land with
lightning rapidity. People wept
and cried with joyous acclaim.
Strangers Rugged and kissed
each other on the public streets.
Never was there such an ex-
ultantly joyous occasion in all
the history of our country.
What colossal achievement
We had saved the world for
democracy S. so we thought.
But what a change has come
over the world since that man
iacaI celebration Democracies
in Europe are on the wane and
| they are being replaced by die
tatorships.
And our own country? Are
we just as much interested in
democracy as we were at that
time? Are there many of us who
would offer our lives or make
any special sacrifice to maintain
the democracy in this country
which we valued so dearly at
that time?
And could we in our widest
moments in 1917 have imagined

TO MAKE THE WORLD SAFE
FOR DEMOCRACY IL
BY BEANARR MAcrADDEr in Liberty Magazine
BY KENNETH FRIEDMAN

we would have, right in our own
administration, officials who de-
ride the principles upon which
our democracy is founded?
Could we have imagined that
the Constitution and the Bill OF
Rights, so dear to the hearts OF
our people, would be infringed,
outrageously so. by many of our
present enactments?
The Wagner Act is now in the
limelight. When that one-sided
bill was passed, / predicted caus-
tic dissatisfaction from both labor
and employer There can be no
democracy, no Americanism, with
such a law on our statue books.
President Green is caustic in
his criticism of the Wagner Labor
Board. They have been favoring
the CLIO, so he says. He wants
the law changed, and another
board; but does he know what
group will be favored by the new
board?
Labor took care of itself with
out bureaucratic regulation in
such a big way, previous to the
Wagner Act, that the workers
acquired the highest standard of
living and the highest wages
ever paid throughout the history
of the world.
And what will happen through
Wagner's RECOMMENDATION of en-
ployers and employees =. : time
only will tell.
We cannot attack the source of
the comforts of life and expect to
profit by such conduct.
The New Deal has continuous

ly tried to make the public be-
lieve that business was the cause
of all the ills associated with the
depression.
The first blow aimed at bust
ness was the MIRA. It was ruled
out by a unanimous decision of
the United States Supreme
Court.
The AAA, to ensnare the farm
ers, met the same fate.
But these defeats had no eff
feet. The New Deal has gone
straight ahead with its socialistic
plans. The Wage and Hour Bill
and numerous other enactments
are leading directly, without any
deviation whatever, toward a
dictatorship.
If Thomas Jefferson were to
listen to the hypocritical support
of democracy that is prated by
some of our officials, even his
skeleton might acquire some
fighting spirit.
ITO make the world safe for
democracy" was an exalted IDEAL
a great and a noble cause, but we
can hardly avoid asking, Are we
the same people that made up
this country in 1917? We were
then willing to give everything
even our lives to make
The world safe for democracy:
and now many of us are sitting
nonchalantly on the side lines
and watcing the tragedy that is
being enacted right before our
eyes the death of the prin-
ciples of government that made
this country the richest, the most
desirable place in which to live,
for the common people, of which
we have any historical record.
