REFLECTIONS.

Hi, Everybody, have been asked to
write about everything as / see it.
Wonder what happened to the "Blue
Veins society which was very prom
inent here years ago? It's a pity the
way our people have the temerity to
segregate themselves. If there is one
eighth of an ounce of Negro blood in
your veins, regardless Of how light you
are still classified as one of us.
Here's something for the N.A.A.CP.
Bryant Jnior High School has class
for Drum Majors and Majorettes, but
they refuse to teach Negro children.
Chas. Beasley, who is member of
North High School band has to have
10000 as all other members do for ex-
penses before he can go to New York
to play at the Worlds Fair June 16.
Let's all do our bit to help him go by
sending contributions to Miss IIilda
Moses in care of Cosmopolitan Club
at Phyllis Wheatley House.
Do you know what happened the
other mite? Well certain guy who
lives on ourth avenue south took his
lady love to certain mite club for
amusement and became entwined in
golf game (African) and forgot his
amour Tin fact refused to budge) so
the poor lady had to seek another
escort. Such conduct for man who
says he is always gentleman.
The Ollie Thomas's, their son Har-
old, and Ruth Majors were mite

her efrom Chicago. By the way girls
he is single and very charming too.

Washington Picture Rapidly Shifting
One


Nothing is SO sure in Washington
as the simple fact that nearly every
| thing is insure, unfixed, variable. sub
| ject to quick change. In the midst oi
such a situation, it is not only diff
cult to pin down tangibles but it is
important to understand that an
nouncements and pronouncements oi
today may be shelved and forgotten
tomorrow.
Administration Program Yet to Jell
Basically behind allt pubbled con-
fusion is that outside of a rather def
mite aim that the Nations military de-
enses must be strengthened quickly,
the Administration is still considerably
up in the air about what shall be done
and even more on how it shall be done.
National Defense Eclipse All Other
Issues
The President, and some of his adj
visers, seek to emphasize that the prin-
cipal problem is to re-arm strongly. If
this program indirectly also helps such
other pressing domestic problems as
unemployment and farm prices, so
much the better. But the situation will
remain confused until the Administra-
ton makes it definite how far it is GO
ing to go; how much money is going
to be spent for national defense and
ever so long a period; what are the
plans for meeting this extraordinary
cost; what changes, if any, will be
made in the national defense establish
ments; what part industry and indus
trial leaders are to play in the defense
program; what changes, if any will be
made in labor standards and what will
be done about industrial profit ranges.
Answers to Come Piecemeal
These, and many more problems are
being studied and discussed night and
day by responsible officials but an
swers will come piecemeal as the pro-
gram begins to take shape In con-
nection with his whole picture, it
should be remembered, is the vital
question of prices in the economic pic
ture generally and the probable use OF
government authority in checking un-
| due rises.
Defense Program Confused and Mis-
understood
The Presidents radio address Sun
day clarified some Of the confused
thinking on what is involved in the de-
fense program but political and other
reasons makes plain speaking impos-
sible. Business should understand thai
what is said publicly by Administration
spokesmen about our national defense
aims seeks In part propaganda effects
designed to warn potential aggressors
| Even including the special emergency
sums recently asked and already grant
ed, national defense spending during
the next fiscal year (apart from The
normal operating expenses of the arm
ed forces) will be only drop in tht
bucket to what would be needed if i
is seriously intended to build up ever

Presidential Position Strengthened
: Important in the Congressional pic
ture is the added influence which the
emergency gives to the President, the

is at stake, and the avoidance of con

that where relaxing of present laws
