''Murderers"
Cannot Escape!
By DR.. Charles stelsle

~ s|tSS~NN
Not all murderers use "gats"
and daggers. For example, it is
quite as possible to murder little
child with a rotten tenement as it
is to do it with a battle axe. It
takes longer, but it is just as eff
fective.
When an industrial concern
maintains dark, dirty shacks for
its employees, denying them even
the commonest conveniences-no
sewers, no water, no sanitary ia?
cilities-with the result that those
who live in them are already on
the undertaker's list, it is murder.
When a factory owner fails to
make adequate provision for es-
cape from fire, when he refuses
to supply even the minimum of
safety devices, he is a potential
murderer. When, merely to add to
his profits, a manufacturer uses
impure materials and sells them
for pure food, causing people to
become sick and die, that manufac-
turer is murderer.
We instinctively become indig-
nant when such things are done to
individuals, but what about nations
whose armies ruthlessly despoil a
whole people, destroying its homes,
wrecking its institutions, stealing
its treasures and it's lands, devas-
tating it accumulated riches of cul-
ture nc religion, and killing
thousands of it's women and chill
dren-at the same time piously
declaring that they have "the di-
vine right to rule" and that they
are doing the will of God?"
To such nations comes the same
Observation-Disclosures in larger
measure-that came to the first
murderer. And here is the con-
demnation as recorded in sacred
history: THE Lord said unto Cain,
Where is thy brother?' And he
haid, I know not: am my bro
theirs keeper? And the Lord said,
What hast thou done? The voice
of thy brothers blood crieth unto
me from the ground. A fugitive
and a vagabond shalt thou be in
the earth And Cain said unto the
Lord, My punishment is greater
than l can bear"
Today, the voices of vast multi
tudes are crying out against the
ruthless opprossors of men and
women of various races, religions,
color and social status. Whether
these oppresors consist of nations
or individuals, the voice of the OPP
pressed will be heard, and their
condemnation will be just as sure
as was that of the first murderer.

vises the women, that although at
present law enforcing agencies
are handicapped, a visit of the
chief of police will meet with a
ready response to aid in remedying
the situation. In the meantime, it
is hoped no drastic measures will
be necessary to restore the pease
and safety of East Madison resid-
ents.

OBSERVATIONS
BIZ Fred G. Williams

Inc past VIII not ole -lillS
country is all a hustle and hustle
in an effort to develop great ar
my and navy and aviation corps
for the defense of this nation and
the PRECIPITATION of the principles
of democracy.
All Men Free and Equal
America was originally founded
as a republic and then we grew
into a democracy without change
in our constitution or the "Bill of
Rights" which we term our safe
guard. Our Constitution says "all
men are created equal but the
nation as a whole has not accepted
this principle.
The Bill of Rights says that mo
man should be deprived without
due process of law" but the his
tory of this country is replete with
instances where such tenets are
abridged, violated and even ignor-
ed. We are writing as we ssee the
picture through the Negroes eyes
and in accordance with his exper-
fences, for we are told that the
14th and 18th Amendments were
passed by the nations congress
to safeguard the citizenship which
it accorded us but has failed to
guarantee.
Faith In America
Professor Overstreet, speaking
on the TOWN HALL program in
New York last Sunday, made this
statement, 1.-THE greatest question
that confronts the United States is
not what we are prepared to de-
fend but what we are not prepared
to defend. Such as Jim Crowism,
in the Army, Acknowledgement, and
lynching."
In times of stress such as these
when the future of the nation is
threatened, we find men like Pro-
fessor Overstreet, who are big
enough to pull back the curtain
and reveal TRUTH in all its maxi
edness. AS race of people, we
Negroes have faith in America. Be-
lieve fully in the Constitution and
the Bill of Rights and when poll
ticians stop making promises which
they have no intention of keeping,
then and only then will America
be fully able to defend itself not
SO much against aggression with
out, but from disruption from with

Good Neighbors
BY S. t. McCants

Well, kind readers OF Good
Neighbors column, this is the last
issue for the year 1910. We wish to
thank all readers and well wishers
of this column and those who so
kindly expressed their appreciation
in words and letters. Allow us to
say that each encouraging word
had much to do with our continu-
ing this column. am sure you
have taken note in reading our
several articles that they were not
fiction, but based on our own per-
sonal experience and observation
along the pathway of life. If we
have made mention of anything in
our column that strengthens or in
spires your faith in God or man,
we are glad. Our greatest aim in
writing and performing acts of
mercy is to be sure we shall not
meet our Savior at the end of the
road of life, empty handed. We
wish to say to our Creator we
bring other precious souls to you.
Teach Others to Love
Christ told the Scribes and Phar-
isees who were in such haste to be
in the temple at the hour appointed
that two of them left poor man
who had been robbed and beaten
almost to death, to die by the road
side They went into the temple
to carry out their ritualistic cere-
monies. 1t was then the Christ told
the world in no uncertain words
the true value of human life. His
words to the Scribes and Pharisees
and to us: A human life is worth
more than all the temples and their
ceremonies. The one big task God
requires of us is that we SO live
that we may constrain others to
love and in their humble way seek
to be Christlike.
The Golden Rule
Say what you may, the love of
God in our hearts is the only thing
that will bring peace to the earth.
All the airplanes, warships, and
bullets that can be manufactured
for the next century will never
bring peace and abolition to the
wicked hearts of men. We must
individually do our part in loving
God and our neighbors as our
selves. With the amazing low price
placed on human life today, we
are not surprised to see nations de-
stroying themselves. Allow us to
urge each reader of this column
to begin the New Year with one
determination-to make this world
happier place in which to live
by doing unto others as you would
have them do unto you. This act
on our part will do much to bring
about the great peace that is so
much sought by all nations of the
earth today.
God help each reader of this col
umn to determine in his indi-
vidual life to do your every part
to bring peace for the generations
to come. We know of no better re-
solution for all mankind for the
pear 1941 than this: 1 shall strive
this year, 1871, to love God with
all my heart and my neighbor as
myself. This includes young and
old. We all need more love in our
hearts. Let's go into the year
1941 with determined hearts to
make this earth what God would
have it to be. We can only do that
by love to God and all mankind.
There are more human beings dy-
ing today for want of love than
any other one thing on earth. God
stands willing to assist.

Taylor Asks Volunteers
For D. T.. Subcommittee

Plans for enlarging and strength
ening the House subcommittee han
ding the District budget-"to get
away from its being a one-man
committee"-were laid before the
House Appropriations Committee in
executive session today by Chairman
Taylor.
He called for volunteers from
among the more seasoned and ex-
perienced members for service on
the District Subcommittee. promis-
ing they would be allowed to re-
tain their membership on two other
subcommittee. The first volunteer
was Representative Lambertson. Re-
publican, of Kansas.
Chairman Taylor later explained
he has no intention of hurrying the
members to volunteer and does not
intend to commander their services.
He expects later to hold private con-
ferences with some of the ablest
members, seeking to persuade them
to take places on the District sub
committee. The purpose Of enlarging
the committee. he explained, Is so
that If several subcommittee are
holding hearings at the same time
there will still remain a quorum of
the District subcommittee.
Chairman Taylor said he wanted
the committee to consist Of eight
members. Last year there were five.

Reich to Pay Part
Of Wages With
Promise Notes
BY Radio to The Star.

BERLIN, Jan. 1O.-An attempt to
pay portion of the wages" OF the
German workers in promissory notes
is to be launched here, 1t is de-
clared today In the weekly Schwarze
Korps, organ OF the s. s. (black-
shirted Hitler guards.
The idea 1t outlines Is that since
consumers are able to consume less,
they are not going to need so much
cash now and part of their wages
can be paid in the form Of notes.
These could exist as q means Of
voluntary or compulsory saving" it
says-in other words, for German
war funds.
The Schwarze Korps declares IAN
increase in production for war pur-
poses is only possible II less is pro-
duced for private consumption. The
National Socialist state has no in
tention Of decreasing wages to the
same extent as purchasing power
1t is true that incomes are reduced
by increased taxation, but not to
the same extent as restrictions on
production cause decrease in pur-
chasing ability.
IAN attempt is to be made to pay
a portion of wages in the form Of
promissory notes. The nature of
these promissory notes will be made
known later. We are speaking Of
war savings. The individual is to
ease pressure on national produc-
ton by restricting consumption"
To what extent these notes may
be used to make still more stringent
the extreme restrictions now familiar
to all Germans is undisclosed.
