TT is reported in the Pearson

ISOLATION for the Advancement of

workers. Mr.. Harrison's union has
a constitutional ban against Ne

crow auxiliary for Negroes which
does not have any voice in union
conventions or affairs. Negro
Americans and their white fellow
workers who are seeking full de-

Negro Pilots

At a recent hearing of the house
appropriations committee, repre-
sentative Ludlow of Indiana called
attention to a recent act of con-
gress requiring that facilities be
made available for the training of
Negro airplane pilots for the army.
Asked by Mr.. Ludlow what has
been done to carry out this man.
date, Gen. Marshall, chief of staff,
replied that "there is no such thing
as colored aviation at this time"
He suggested that the start should
be made by the Civil Aeronautics
authority.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Lud-
low will see to it that the intention
of congress is not defeated by
beaurocratic buck-passing. This is
said not only in protest against
discrimination but also in recog-
milton of the very large contribu-
ton to national defense which may
be expected of Negro pilots.
The first requisite of a military
flyer is quick nervous responses.
He should have a superior sense
of balance, excellent muscular CO.
ordination, a good sensory appar-
atus, a sound body. In short, the
qualities which make a good ath-
lete are required of a flyer. OF
course he should have physical and
moral courage as well. In all of
these qualifications Negroes have
given ample demonstration of their
fitness. A race which has pro-
duced, in the span of few years,
oe Louis, Henry Armstrong, Jesse
Owens, jefferson of Northwestern,
Ozzie Simmons of Iowa, SUBJ
stantial number of Golden Gloves
champions, and a score of other
absolutely top-notch athletes, pro-
vides a rich resource which ought
not to be lost to the country
through prejudice. In the face of
this roster of world champions the
physical fitness and courage of
their race cannot be questioned by
any reasonable man.

dangerous trick Of ambitious men TO
divide the rule.
For several years now We have
watched the rise and the encourage

prejudices and suspicious and strifes.
Communism, Fascism, and other
foreign isms have been at their work
seeking every opening in Americas
armor to creep in and break down
the whole institution of free govern

We can defeat these destructive
forces only if we solve our domestic
problems. We must put our unem-

the rise Of the national debt. We must
put an end to these recurring def

must have an end to this practice
Of inciting some sections of our
country against other sections, Of
melting some classes Of our people
against other classes.
For seven years this country has
been made a proving ground for
reckless experiments, and those ex-

So while We do not propose any war
upon capital, We do wish to allow

In those few words. my fellow
Americans, Abraham Lincoln defined
the doctrine which We call the
American way. Tied up with that
doctrine Is the Constitution with its
Bill Of Rights. Linked with that
doctrine is the right Of the individual
