WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN
(For Negro History Week.
BY ROBERT E HAYDEN

We have forgotten the prayers you prayed,
Black fathers o black mothers kneeling in
The cabin gloom debased yet in your hearts E-,
Bearing high springtime pageantries of faith. l--
We have not forgotten your morning hope,-
More burning than the OF cottonfields
Upon dark shacled limbs songs your anguish sucked
These al the vital flesh and blood
OF any strength have; these the soil
From which souls strict meaning came-where grew
The roots of all dreams of freedoms wide
And legendary spring.
And if we keep
Our love for this American earth black fathers
o black mothers, believing that its fields
Will bear for at length harvesting
OF sum- it is because your spirits walk
Beside S plough; it is because
This land has grown from your great deathess heart

the river for the sake OF an alliance
with the New Deal Democrats, or
that Senator La Toilette would per-
NIT himself to be sola The only
other possible deal between the two
groups might Le fol the support
of President Roosevelt on the one
hand and support u Senator La
Toilette on the other This would
leave Mr.. Finnegan, the Democratic
nominee for Senator, and Mr.. Nc
Govern, the Democratic nominee for
Governor. out on limb, with the
sawing-of operation to be per-
formed by the Roosevelt and La
Toilette leaders. Neither one Of
them would welcome any such deal.
Mr.. Finnegan is violently anti-New
Deal, and Mr.. McGovern, while pro-
New Deal, is certainly not friendly
to the La Follettes.
Conditions Rather Chaotic.
Politically speaking. conditions in
Wisconsin are rather chaotic. This
is not an entirely new situation for
the Badger State. I, gives the poll
ticians lot to think about. There
is a large silent vote" which is
saying nothing at present. When
it speaks the answers will all be
known. Business is good, the farm
ers have had excellent crops, but
grouse about the prices they must
take for their produce The New
Deal administration is doing its best
to convince them they have been
we'll off under President Roosevelt
and Henry A. Wallace, and that
they will lose by going over to Wen
dell L. Willkie and the Republicans
Mr.. Willkie, on the other hand, has
announced he will not discard any
of the benefits" which the farmer
is now receiving. He adds, however,
that if he is elected he will do so
much for the industrial workers. by
getting business going and creating
more jobs, and that the farmers will
have better markets and better
prices.
The La Toilette Proeressives, who
more or less lost their shirts in the
election of 1888, are hopeful of pick
ing two or three House seats, but
that will depend largely on what the
national tickets do in the State.

Draft Boards Told
TO Avoid 'Fanatica|
Diligence in Work
No Need to Press All

Maj. BottIey Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 3O.-Local
selective service boards which will
decide who is subject to first call
for a years Army duty were in
structed officially today to "avoid
any fanatical diligence" in pressing
everyone possible into training"
Maj. Joseph F. Battley of the joint
Army and Navy Selective Service
Committee said in an address before
conference of State Draft Board
advisers here that claims for de-
ferment based on civilian work
should be most literally allowed"
There is large pool of physically
fit males between 81 and 36. without
dependents, who obviously are i'm
mediately available" Maj. Battley
said.
Example of England.
The draft. he continued. must not
disrupt the normal functions of
nation still at peace and justiiably
not ready to subordinate its needs,
habits, desires and thought to a
military machine"
above all he continued, I'VE
must not repeat the painful exper-
ience which but recently occurred
IN England. Within the first six
months of her present war with
Germany she found it necessary to
demilitarize more than $4,000 men
already at the front-some to be
returned from their posts in Flan-
ders-because there were insufficient
hands to operate the vital ma
chinery of production at home"
The conference, to continue all
week, was the first of a series ar
ranged for liaison officers and State
advisers on occupational deferments
to be held in advance of the Octo-
Der 16 national registration. The
officers and advisers already have
undergone technical training on
the administration of the draft.
Temporary Deferments.
Maj Battley noted the Selective
Service Act provided that military
service liability may be deferred
for men whose work in industry,
agriculture or other occupations
was necessary to the maintenance
of national health. safety or inter-
est, even though they were not es-
sential industries.
He stressed, however, that all
deferments must be on an indi-
vidual basis, must be temporary,
and depended on the time required
to replace a deferred man in his
civilian job.

Group Says War in China
Saps Japan's Strength
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Foreign Policy Association
said yesterday that the prolonged
struggle with China had "deprived
Japan OF the economic margin nee
essary to cover a large-scale conflict
with a third power"
This opinion was expressed in a
report written by T. A. Bison of
the staff Of the private research
organization.
The military and economic re-
sources of Japan, the report said.
are heavily mortgaged for the cam
palgn in China, in which roughly
one million troops, a considerable
proportion of it's shipping, and
much OF its air force are engaged. 4"
The report said that China is
the major ally. the first line of
defense, of the Western powers in
Asia" and added:
Successful defense of their posi-
tlons in that region may we'll turn
on the ability of these powers to
find means of extending effective
assistance to China"
