POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, Aug. -
(CNA)-In a direct and unequivocal
reply to the question of a colored girl,
Mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt, wife Of
the President, told sixty boys and
girl students from this country and
abroad that the persecution of the Jews
in Germany and the Negro people in
this country was inherently similar.
Mrs. Roosevelt spoke to the group

about her to tell her what they were

SCHOOL OPENS

More than 10000 Boston boys and
girls returned to school last Thurs
day from their summer vacation. For
the next nine months they will come
under the supervision and instruction
of nearly five thousand teachers who
of course will do their duty in trying
to train the youngsters to become de-
cent and respectable citizens. But
from now on parents should not feel
that they can shirk their own respon-
sibility and shift the burden of educa-
ton entirely upon the shoulders of the
school teachers. Home training will
always remain important and neces-
sary. Moreover, parents should main
tam direct contact with the schools
and cooperate with the teachers. Then
any grievances can be quickly discov
cred and adjusted. Massachusetts is
not Georgia nor Texas. Law and pub
nc sentiment here are against discrim-
nation or any sort of Jim Crowism

ready to get into action almost as
quickly as a fire apparatus responds
to an alarm. But usually the school
authorities are so jealous of the good
name of New England schools that
any school grievance or controversy
IS promptly settled as soon as the
trouble is made known. Parents
should visit Boston schools-their
schools for which they pay taxes to
support-and cooperate with teachers
and other school officials at all times.

CANDIDATE CRosswAITH

The American Labor Party's nom
ination of Mr.. Frank R. Crosswaith
for the New York City Council occa-
sions no surprise to those who know
him and his service in the cause Of
labor. Since enlisting in that cause
more than twenty-five years ago, he
has waged an unremittent fight for
improved labor standards through the
organization of various groups of
workers into trade unions. Perhaps
his best known service was his work
as an organizer of the Brotherhood Of
Sleeping Car Porters, but he has also
spent years in organizing elevator
operators, constructors, mechanics,
BARRIERS, laundry workers, motion pic
ture operators, garment workers and
others. A trade union committee which
he founded in 1928 for organizing col
ored workers was the forerunner Of
the present powerful Labor Commit
tee which demands absolute equality
in the labor movement and is affiliated
with more than sixty ALL. and CT.
o. unions with colored membership.
In later years he has been more gener-
ally known as an organizer for the In
ternational Ladies Garment Workers
Union in which colored and white
members mingle without friction.
Mr.. Crosswaith's training, labor
background, and years of civic serv-
ice in Harlem recommended his can
didacy to many progressive groups
He has been strongly endorsed by
President A. Philip Randolph of the
International Brotherhood of Sleep
ing Car Porters and by leaders of l.
L.G.W.U. and other unions He is an
engaging speaker and writer. His
nomination meets two practical re-
quirements-ftness through training
and experience and the ability to win.

THE RACE AND THE WORLD WAR
By MONROE MASON

Colored veterandom is astounded at
the high-handed and provoking atti-
tude of Adolph Hitler. The German
invasion of Poland last week stunned
Europe 1t was the signal for another
World War which has come. 1t was
the insane action of an individualist to
satisfy greed and lust for power 1t
seems a challenge to democracy with
a totalitarian vengeance Our present
generation must combat it with equal
aggressiveness and force. Hitler's
madness may even penetrate the west
ern hemisphere. Americas Colored
youth are a part of the national de-
fence; they are future military man
power, the soldiers and sailors of
tomorrow"
Hitler's mad act should make
America think of war preparedness
based on racial equality. 1t should be
fair and free from official bias. Each
branch of the army and navy should be
open to all citizens. 1t should be
accomplished according to ratio of eli
gibles with ratings for ability and eff
cheney. Trained officer personnel
should be given preference on a basis
of qualification.
Colored veterandom will not tolerate
conditions that existed before, since
and during the war of 1917-191S.
America must restrain bureaucratic
selfshness. 1t must adopt modern
training methods in order to assure
army and navy solidarity The cap
stone and foundation for solving this
problem should be fitness and reason.
A long war seems in the offing. Col
ored youth will not be enthusiastic
about entering conflict if they are
hampered by racial restrictions. Naval
traditions of the past two decades fos-
tering racial distinctions have been
abominable. Our nations Executive is
partly responsible for these conditions
when he served under the Daniels
regime. These dangerous precedents

rose to power by stirring up with
base lies prejudice against Jews.
'In Haverstraw, N. Y, recently
the Ku Klux Klan was used by
Jewish manufacturers to terrorize
Jewish garment workers who were
forming a union to secure higher
wages and decent conditions Of
work. Race prejudice is always a
good investment for the master
class.
''In Peabody, Mass, the center of
the leather manufacturing industry
of the East, the employing class de-
liberately put Greeks and Turks to
work side by side in the big manu-
featuring plants there. They know
that in the old country every time
a Greek saw a Turk he used to shoot
at him, except when the Turk got
in his shot first. The manufacturers
thought that in this way the work
ers would be kept divided and there
fore unable to form union to get
higher pay in the leather manufac
turing plants. But the Greek and
Turkish workers overcame their ira
ditional prejudice against each other
when they understood that prejudice
was keeping them both down. When
they did so, they got together and
formed a union and have gained
higher pay and better conditions as
a result.
"White and colored workers can
do the same thing. They will do it
when they understand how the poi
son brew of prejudice harms them
both. Socialists are helping them
towards that understanding and this
pamphlet is dedicated to that end
eve have seen that the color
question is part of the labor ques-
ton and that the labor question
grows out of the exploitation Of the
workers. whether they are white Or
black, whether they are Catholics
Protestants or Jews. Prejudice is
in the picture because it makes it
easier for the owning class to ex-
plot the working class by keeping
the workers divided and fighting
among themselves.
Divided, they are PROSTATE be-
fore the power of the capitalist
class. United they can get rid Of
exploitation and build a Cooperative
Commonwealth of Labor for all who
do useful work whatever their race,
color, or creed"

are cited, knowing IN advance that the
ambitions of ColOred youth are stifed.
Colored officers curtailment in the
four combat regiments of the army is
another intolerable racial barrier. A
lack of colored cadets at the West
Point Military Academy is also a glar-
ing and incredible error that should be
erased. These wrongs are too obvious
for an intelligent observer to condone.
The evils must be cured by an open
declaration Of the present administra-
tion's dissent. The President must use
the same tact and judgment demon
strated by Mrs Roosevelt in her pub
lie pleas against racial intolerance.
There should be an executive purge of
Army and Navy racial restrictions.
This is distinctly necessary, whether or
not America enters another war. There
are 100000 colored eligibles, including
youths now available to enter the next
war This is nearly equal to u army
and 40 naval fleet divisions, according
to present tables of organization Why
should America continue to discrimin-
ate ruthlessly with such available man
power? "Customs and traditions must
be submerged in order to meet what
may prove a far more bitter war than
has ever been waged in the history of
modern civilization.
Americas economic, political and
social prescriptions toward colored
citizens are subversive and undemo-
cratic When compared with Hitler
ism, there isn't a wide difference. In
each case the result is to defeat the
aims of humanity Christianity teaches
us that war is terrible and unthinkable.
During the European crisis there
should be a positive and scrict neutral
ity on the part of America. The
President must be supported by all
races with intelligence and vigor, dis
regarding political beliefs. ANY overt
act by a belligerent nation to insult
the Stars and Stripes should be con-
Sidered unfriendly.

"WHY PREJUDICE"

"WHY PREJUDICE ?"
"As a result of prejudice different
groups of workers will despise, or
oppose, or fight each other instead
of using their spare time and energy
to oppose the exploitation of the
working class as a whole by the
employing class as a whole.
1.-THE workers might get together
and form unions which would re-
duce the hours of labor and raise
pay. They might organize and sup
port a political party which would
provide a really generous old age
pension for everyone at a reason
able age limit, or would provide free
college education for white and col
ored alike, just as we have free high
schools in most northern states.
They might also provide for pay
through a system of unemployment
insurance to everyone unable to find
work through no fault of his own.
They might demand that the money
for the adequate old age pension and
unemployment relief should be paid
for by taxing profits, big incomes,
inheritances, or the proceeds from
stock exchange gambling. The work
ers might even abolish exploitation
altogether by having the people of
our country own and control the in
dustries and natural resources of
our land, if prejudice, and ignorance,
which is the mother of prejudice,
did not keep them divided. Then
the members of the capitalist class
would have to work for a living
and of course they think that would
be terrible. So prejudice pays.
In the South the Ku Klux Khan
is used to stir up hatred and pre-
JUDGE between colored and white
and thus keep the workers divided.
In the North where there are not so
many colored people, the Ku Klux
Khan was used to stir up prejudice
between Catholics and Protestants
to keep the workers divided. In
many places where there were a
good many Jews, the Ku Klux Khan
was used to stir up hatred and i'll
will between Jews and Gentiles-to
keep the workers divided
Divide and rule was the relig-
ion of the masters of the old Roman
Empire, the most successful imper-
ialist rulers that the world has
known. 1t is the practice of the
master class in America today,
though they are usually too clever
openly to proclaim it.
