OUR NATIONAL GUARD

High hopes were raised among us not long ago
when we learned that an appropriation had been
made by the state toward the creation of Negro
unit of the National Guard of Michigan. Senator
Dggs who headed the movement for the Negro unit,
has revealed that numerous obstacles have presented
themselves and that it will take great effort to cut
through the red tape that stands in the way. 1t has
been announced recently, however, that new and
larger appropriations are to be made to the army
and that some of this money will be earmarked for
the home defense or the National Guard.
However devious may be the ways necessary for
the achievement of this end, believe that strong
public opinion among US, expressing determination
and zeal will go far in bringing about the creation
of Negro unit. With millions going into the army
as result of the war scare abroad, certainly some
of this money can and must be spent in financing
military project here in Michigan. Negroes are
barred from participation in the existing units of
the National Guard on the basis of color alone This
should be insult enough, but now we are informed
that it will be only with great effort that we will be
able to create Negro unit.
The precarious position of almost every Euro
pean nation today has alarmed the world and we of
this country cognzaat of the many dangers that
beset us in our pursuit of peace In Washington sud-
den efforts being made to bring the army and the
navy up to date and prepare the country for any
eventuality. Certainly in this program of prepared
ness the Negro should play an equitable part. We
Negroes of Michigan are record in favor of a
Negro unit of the National Guard, inasmuch as we
are barred from participation in the existing units
in Michigan.

of the two amalgamated metals, but
looking like neither one. Example
Of this is bronze, which is an ANAL
gam of copper and tin. So it must
happen in the amalgamation OF
people. A complete. harmonious
and uniform blending of the two
personalities must be affected re-
sulting in third individual bear
ling the marks of heredity of the
parents but with a personality and
an theology all his own.
To effect amalgamation OF the
Negro and the white people OF
America, we must go beyond mere
intermarrisge. We must count on
racial theology, historical antece-
dents, cultural background, objec-
tivity of life, besides the resulting
advantage that each race would de-
rive from the merger. All these
things must be taken into consid-
Grafton before stalking our future
on the promise or expectation OF
amalgamation as a means OF solv-
ing the race problem. For, as long
as these important elements in the
makeup Of any people do not syn
chronize and harmonic smoothly,
I it is senseless to talk about success
full amalgamation.
In our last installment we said
that there is no racial affinity be-
tween Negroes and whites in Amer
lea, which is plainly evident by the
lack OF generalization of mixed mar
riages even in those remaining
states where anti-intermarriage
legis alton has not been enacted and
where marriages OF whites and
blacks are permitted
Back OF this undercurrent of aloof-
ness of one race from the other
there are thousands OF years OF Gull
tural divergence OF one race from
the other, besides the respective
ideology OF the two races which
cannot be reconciled one with the
other The racial theology OF the
white race is Caucasian supremacy.
The racial theology OF the Negro is
racial equality. These two ideolo-
gies are irreconcilsble one with the
other, because one is denial of
the other.
The life objectivity OF the white
race is social, political and economic
world domination The racial OBJ
jectivity of the Negro is equality
of opportunity. These two don't
mix One must necessarily exclude
the other.
This love for world domination
on the part of the Caucasian race
is the result of the influence OF the
Nordic element OF that race. With
