to foreign-born, rather than employ loyal, native
Americans, whose skins chance to be black.
And it is these firms who profiting most
by the billions of dollars Congress has approprlat-
ed to build UP our defenses. Ignored is the fact
that when the tax collector comes, considera-
tion is given because of color. All must pay.
TAKE STUPID POSITION
Millions of dollars are being appropriated by
the government to construct new airplane factories
and subsidize this industry, one of the most fla
grant in its blind and foolish discriminatory prac-
tices against black Americans.
The stupid position of these aeronautics IN
dustralists, who above all others most vuiner
able to sabotage by foreign-born and hyphenated
employees is vividly illustrated by the manager
of the Vultee Aircraft Corporation, who when
questioned about the employment of Negroes,
shook his head with the wholly un-Amerlcan re-
'I regret to say that it is not the policy of this
company to employ other people than those of the
Caucasian race, consequently not in a po-
sition to offer your people employment at this
| time"
DISCRIMINATION RAMPANT
This same statement could be used by hum
dreds of other manufacturers not only of airplanes
but munitions powder, tanks and guns, who are
now growing wealthy on government contracts.
Nazi Germany could have no policy of select
ing personnel more rigid in strangling the very
economic existence of people. Negroes in an
America which finds itself confronted with the
magnanmous task of upholdlng the challenge OF
democracy are Systematically and arbitrarily bar
red from participation in the industrial life of their
country: not because of ability, character ply
sical fitness but purely on the narrow and bgot-
ed plane of color and color alone.
This policy could not only bode evil for the
united front America needs to safeguard her ma
tional defense plans, but might disrupt the solid
arity she seeks with her neighboring Latin Ameri-
can countries, the majority of whose populations
are definitely on the Negrold side.
"We shall either hang together Or hang sep
arately," is how the founding fathers stated It in
the Declaration of Independence, President Roos-
velt has repeated this true axiom thusly: "In
seeking for economic and political progress as
nation, all go up or else we go down. .as
one people"

dustralists learn this important lesson in national

Mrs. Hoover spun all the fabric

she did all the sewing, even max
ing shirts for the six sons of the
family. Hunter Buck was the
family name of their slave owners,
Mrs. Hoover was born in the year
that John Quincy Adams was in
the presidential chair. When Will
liam Henry Harrison was on the
ticket for President, Mrs. Hoover
was then young woman. She re-
members vividly the time when the
citizens had a great barbecue. A
large parade was the highlight for
the occasion and Mrs. Hoover was
one of the young women in the
line of march. walking behind "
large American flag.
When Mrs. Hoover was asked
what was the secret of her long
life, she replied: 'I trust in God
for all things. I eat natural foods
and I always have. always loved
gardening, growing vegetables and
flowers, which are among my
hobbies, plenty of eggs, butter and

Neqro Vote To Determine
Election Asserts White

NEW YORK -(SNS)-Because
the Negro vote is today SO dis
tributed that it can hold the
balance of power in any reasonably
close contest in seventeen states
with a total electoral vote of 281,
fifteen votes more than the 266 re-
ouired to elect a President and
Vice President" it is a factor that
will have to be reckoned with by
the major parties in 1910.
This" says Walter White, in the
current issue of Liberty Maya
zine, "and the fact that the Negro
voter is politically far more ma
ture today than ever before, means
that he is increasingly ignoring
party labels, prefer-ing to study
candidates and issues"
Writing on "How Will the Ne
groes Vote" the secretary of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People said,
'If the decision is close, their g.
100000 votes may be decisive In
such key states as New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, H.,
Indiana, Missouri and Michigan"

pie into one single, stubborn fighting force that
prevents Hitler's hordes from crushing the Eng
hsh out of existence.
All leaders from President Roosevelt down
have repeatedly called for unity, but the action
and move to bring about this "solid 'front.' have
been sadly lacking. There can be no unity in
America as long as one-tenth of its population.
the thirteen millions who compose it's most intense
ly loyal segment is placed in the disadvantageous
position of being the outside looking in.
That is where black America, with but few
exceptions finds itself. The process of push
ing the Negro out economically began some ten
years ago with the birth of the depression. 1t has
been accelerated at lightning pace until mem
bers of group in the large Industrial areas have
found themselves dependent On relief far out Of
proportion to their population ratio
HOPE is DIMMING
Hope that the spending of billions of dollars
in the building up of our national defense would
alleviate this condition seems DINNER and dim
with the passing of the weeks and the award
ing of contracts to the very concerns who relig-
iousy follow the rule of the color line N the mat
ter of employment.
Despite the increasing threat Of sabotage and
the growing of mysterious blasts in our large
munitions factories, managers of these concerns
persist in their blind policy of giving preference
