Werfnl Institutions the union and
Bosing company. Question any
white person reared here and en-
ployed at Boeing's and they will
tell you that the union oath to
starye, degrade and terrorize Ne
groes was something new in their
experience. They took the oath
because Of the powerful silvery
glamour Of the company and the
secret, dramatic ritualistic jaunts
Of the aeronautical mechanics To-
cal No. ISL. CONTRARY to their
training in our public schools, they
have developed the feeling that
jobs paying good wages must be
denied Negroes, and to work with
them just isn't the right thing
to do.
Be it as it may, we would be in
error If we conclude that the COM
pany has accomplished this with
out cooperation from other social
and educational agencies financed
from public funds. Again let us lift
the label: Before doing so, how
ever, let us mention some instances
of faulty thinking on the part of
Negroes themselves: The Boeing
Airplane company is not privately
owned institution any more SO than
Post Office. The government
through the National Labor Rela-
,tion Board tells the plant who to
hire and believe it or not, evidence
shows that F. B. 1. tells them what
color they should be. Army officers
are on the Board of Directors and
the Finance Reconstruction Cor
poration furnishes unlimited sums
of money. Now, who are the public
financial institutions that cooper
ate with the company at times and
the union at other times in this
wretched conspiracy against Ne
groes? = To be continued.

Letters To
The Editor

Mr.. Edward 1. Robinson, Editor
Northwest Enterprise
S06 Twelfth Avenue South
Seattle. Washington
Dear Mr.. Robinson:
have always contended that
one of the greatest services a Me-
gro newspaper can render is the
intelligent use of the editorial coll
umn. Your editorials are indeed
inspiring and they most certainly
win benefit the Negro in the
Northwest.
Your newspaper carries a slo-
gan: "A Newspaper the People
Read, Love and Respect"-with
your editorial policy I feel sure
your slogan is a true one.
The Negro has many battles
that must be fought and they must
be won too. Through editorials,
such as yours, we will surely see
the way and learn how to properly
engage the enemy and achieve a
glorious victory.
Here at the Institute, everyone
of us wish you every success in
your fight for greater employment
opportunities for the Negro in the
Northwest. Your splendid efforts
will cause others to enlist and help
the cause. Carry on!
Sincerely yours,
Negro Business Institute

Good Neighbors
BY s. T. McCants


: % verse read: And they shall
fall by the edge of the sword and
shall be led away, captive into all
nations. And Jerusalem shall be
trodden down of the Gentiles, until
the times of the Gentiles be full
filled. And there shall be signs in
the sun and in the moon and in the
stars and upon the earth distress
of nations. with perplexity, and
sea and wave roaring. Mems
hearts failing them, for fear and
for looking after those things
which are coming on the earth. for
the powers of heaven shall be
shaken.
And then shall they see the Son
of Man coming in a cloud with
power and great glory. And when
these things begin to come to pass,
then look up and lift up your heads
for your redemption draweth nigh.
They say there are spots on the
sun, making much trouble with all
electric connections. 1t seems that
we are having similar troubles
operating this earth, as did the
Builders of the Tower of Babel.
The great Master of us all allowed
those building the Tower to go just
so high, and then their language
became confused, and that was the
end of the Tower of Babel.
God has allowed the people of
this earth to build what is known
as Christian civilization, and in
their haste in building this great
Christian civilization, they forgot
God, and as a result we now have
nation against nation. Our spirit
ual and so-called Christian leaders
have failed to preach and teach
the Fatherhood of God and the
Brotherhood of Man, and the great
est words spoken by our Saviour
who commanded that we Love God
and Oar Neigbbors as Ourselves.
So In Germany the swastika has
replaced the Cross of Christ. In
the United States of America we
have taken the word of God from
our schools and daily pledge our
allegiance to the Stars and Stripes
of America instead.
1t is shameful to think how far
we have drifted from the teaching
of the lowly Nazarene. Is it posi-
BILE we will continue to worship
man-made idols ? Or shall we turn
to the Christ who loved us and
died that we might live? Love
God with all thy heart and thy
neighbor as myself. On these few
words. If practiced in word and
deed, will bring Gods kingdom to
earth.
When will our Christian leaders
start preaching and teaching the
Fatherhood of God and the Bro
therhood of Man? You have GER
tainly failed to do so for the past
so years to my knowing. What 1
am trying to say 10 that neither
leaders of church or state have
given the nations this most i'm
portant of all commands to man.
kind. And when I say leaders, I
am including ministers, priests, the
Pope and the president of the Uni
ted States. If Father Devine has
peace in his heaven, it came
through love. Love me as I have
loved you pleads the Stranger of
Gallilee. God fill our hearts with
thy love" should be our daily pray
er, for without it, we pine and
die.
Love thy neighbor as thyself.
This is the answer to all this old
worlds troubles. God will not fail
you. speak from experience. LET
US ALL PRAY FOR THAT UN-
DYING LOVE.
