The writer's thoughts do necessarily represent the
and opinions Of this paper.

But, in the midst OF all This. and
after all IS said and done. we notice
that still we have in America whole
communities that are known and
distinguished by their racial or po-
litical nationalism. In practically
every American city we have Jew
Sh districts, Polish districts, Italian
districts, Greek districts, Scandina-
Wan districts, Germantowns. and we
could continue TO name various dis
tricts OF various races and national
tiles, even including the various
Chinatowns, and Negro districts that
are noticed everywhere In these
various nationalistIc quarters Of
American communities, the people
who live IN them practice the lives
and customs and even speak almost
exclusively the languages OF their
respective nations or parts OF the
world from which they come This
in turn is accumulated by the forma-
ton of nationalistic societies Of va
rious names that perpetuste and
glorify the traditions and character
lstlcs OF their netherlands. On the
side Of the Nordlc American. there
Is prejudice against the Jews: in
other parts OF the country there is
prejudice against the Pole; in
others there is prejudice against the
Italian etc. What does this all
mean? Just how fast is the Melt
ing Poi" melting these various
peoples?
When It comes 10 the Negro ALL
of them turn thumbs down" on
him He is just mot IN It" in one
way or the other. We are absorb
ing a good deal OF white blood
through Legitimate race relations
and clandestine sexual contacts; but
the white race is not absorbing the
Negro to any appreciable degree,
and much less is the Negro intended
TO fall into the Melting Pot" and
start melting and stewing together
18th the rest OF the amalgam of
America. The Negro is melting
within himself. They had a special
Melting Pot" for the Negro ever
since the mixed Congos, Mapdingos,
Ashantls. Dahomeys, Coromantlnes,
hrus. rullahs. and all the racial and !
sub-raclal types Of Africa that came
over in the sla traffic. But, so
far as this American Melting Pot"
is concerned, we might 'ust as well
forget it, There is not amalgamation
through the Melting Pot"

groups. without touching on last
thought.
One of the theories that has con-
tributed greatly to delude and de-
ceive the Negro mind on amaigama-
ton is lthe much-churned principle
OF "The Melting Pot" We near talk
about The Melting Pot" and we
hear it much discussed by the white
peeelecand- we--begih- form false
ideas in our heads as TO wha il
means and as to how it applies TO
us. We are just like the Did mule
that hears bells ringing, likes the
sound Of them, and props one ear
forward and the other backwards
trying to end out where the sound
comes from, and hoping that they
arer meant for her.
There are two big mistakes about
The Melting Pot" that are likely to
be overlooked by non-scrutinizing
Negroes. In the first place. THE
Melting Pot" is not melting as fast
as 1t is generally believed; and. in
the second place. The Melting Pot"
was not intended to melt-in Negroes

to think straight.
Melting Pot is just the nick
name given to the process II amalga-
nation of the various racial and sub
racial stocks that populate America,
so as to form one homogeneous and
uniform American type. We have in
America people from practically
every racial stock in the world. in
more or less numbers. Institution
and organizations in this country
are assiduously dedicated to the task
OF making good Americans" out
OF all these various peoples. They
teach them the Constitution; they
teach them o read and write Eng
lish; they explain to them the
American form Of government; and
IN substance, they go to great
lengths in order to amalgamate
them into the American social
stream.

We not only see no eminent danger

in the New York Times few days
ago, both the Allies and Hitler are
treating the United States very well

in this mood. we have little to fear
from either.
Nothing so far has been done TO
provoke our wrath and indignation.
None of our ships have been sunk;
no Americans killed except those
travelling on British ships. OF course,
| must admit that it is extremely
difficult for any sea raider TO sink
ships that can't be found. Our
ships having been withdrawn from
dangerous waters may account for
their not having been torpedoed,
but it does not matter what accounts
for our good luck so long as we
have it. The fact that we are at

so for long while. is the important

Whether Mr.. Roosevelt will &C.
cept a third term is yet the burning
question in the minds Of both Re
publican and Democratic aspirants
for the presidency. Nobody knows
however, but the president himself
Bits Of information l have picked up
here and there makes me doubtful
Of Mr.. Roosevelt's running again.
First we understand by reading
the columns of Washington CORE
spondents that the mention OF a
third term no longer, peeves Mr.,
Roosevelt He now jokes good
naturally when questioned, which
indicates that the third term matter
does not get on his nerves, hence
it is not likely to be much on his
mind.
Second, his son Elhett- was very
outspoken in his lacing OF John L.
Lewis in radio broadcast few
nights ago. OF course, we know that
Elliot is inclined to be outspoken
regardless, but even so, we hardly
think he would have picked this
time, so close to the presidential
campaign had he not some idea that
papa will not run. Even Elliot
knows that papa could use the labor
vote.
Thirdly, Paul Msllon tells us that
close to the President who's job de-
ponds upon Mr.. Roosevelt's deci-
sion are already quietly looking for
other berths. The Presidential aspir-
ants will do well to watch these
straws in the political wind.

The up-swing is reflected notably
in the unemployment repor.s of the

persons in private jobs during Octo-
Der, the largest number in the his

The total number OF persons seek

During the first 10 months Of the
year, more than 2,l92.000 Jobs in
private industry were filled, an in
crease of about AZ per cent over the

Final Action Framed
Al Inter-American
Neutrality Par|ey
Sweeping Accord
Expected to Mark
Closing Session
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PANAMA, Oct. agreed on
sweeping neutrality proposals de-
signed to secure the Western Hemi-
sphere against European war, the
Inter-American Neutrality Confer
ence today framed the measures for
final action at a plenary session to-
morrow.
Proposals Up for Consideration.
Phases to be ironed out today in
cluded:
Definition of uniform neutral
ity rights and obligations of neu-
trails and belligerents.
Fixing of limits of zone
around the Americas in which
belligerent actions would be pro-
hibited. The zone would be
patrolled by all-American navies
when necessary, with the United
States bearing the brunt of the
work.
Regarded by observers as a key
note OF the meeting was an Ecua-
dorean proposal approved by a sub
committee holding improper any
territorial expansion founded on vio-
lence and condemning treaty vio-
lations and the invasion Of weaker
nations.
A proposal by the United States
that submarines be barred from
American ports was expected to be
left to the discretion Of each coun-
try. Argentina favored admission
of the submarines If they entered
ports on the surface and flying
their national flag.
Inclusion in belligerent contra
band lists of foodstuffs and cloth
ing not intended for use in actual
hostilities was opposed in a meas
ure indorsed by a subcommittee.
Havana Conference Approved.
The Neutrality Subcommittee ap-
proved Mexican proposal that an
other consultation be held by the
conference in Havana next October.
Undersecretary Sumner Welles of
the United States asserted that the
unusual speed with which most
agreements were reached was due
to remarkable" harmony among
the 81 nations represented.
After the closing session, expected
tomorrow. a reception for the dele
gates will be held by Maj. Gen.
David Stone, commanding ofIicer of
the Canal Zone.
