Good Neighbors

FRIENDSHIP

FRIENDSHIP
Mr.. Webster tells us the word
friendship means one attached to
another by affection, regard or
esteem.
After listening to the Presidents
fireside chat Sunday evening which
was anything but encouraging,
concerning the long looked for
peace by both Europe and the
u. S. 1 must call your attention
to the remark he made concerning
England being our only friend in
Europe. What l would like to
know when did England become
a friend to these United States or
any other country that she couldn't
rob or own? l think personally
that England told the u. S. in no
uncertain words how much of a
friend she was to this country af-
ter we furnished the flower of our
country to cross the ocean and
win war to save their hides. Bill
lions of dollars in cash, food, and
materials were also sent to them
England No Friend
What did England do to show
the u. S. that she was a friend to
them? She thumbed her nose at
us, as much as to say, try and get
it. Do you recall the old true say
ing Every Dog has his day and
the cats the nights?" You also
remember how England and
France through the League of Ma
tons sold Ethiopia down the river,
and how she enslaved the Afric-
ans, took billions of dollars of
gold and diamonds from the labor
of those African natives. Yes
through hook and crook she owned
just about a u of this old globe
on which we live. They are more
successful in their schemes to get
all these earthly honors and rich
es.
Day of Reckoning
Now the real Master and owner
of all the earth is putting in his
claim for what belongs to him and
when Hitler, the go-between man
gets through with England, and
God who said the Earth is mine
and all that dwells in it, collects
all that is coming to him, I'll bet
dollars to doughnuts I'll have more
cash money in my jeans than will
be in the world famed unbreak-
able Bank of England, Yes, Eng
land must pay and the U. S. with
all its aid and sympathy will not
be able to save her It's pay day
and God himself is on the job, col
lecting what is his own. You will
also be advised that here in the
u. S. a debt of some 800 years
of slave labor needs to be paid. II
must be paid. What kind of a
proposition I am wondering, will
be made by those in authority
and those responsible for this
debt?
Waiting On The Lord
The Negro is aware of this great
debt owed him, but is patiently
waiting for the Master of Earth
and skies to fulfil his promise to
those who love and trust him.
am just that kind of a so-calleo
fool who believes with all my
heart that the Negro will yet en-.
Joy the fruits of his hundreds OF
years of labor, sacrifices and lives
To youth of the Negro race,
beg, be patient a little longer;
there is going to be change in
world affairs. Those of us who
for all these years have labored
suffered and died, hoping God
would some day hight all wrongs
We, too, will be known as bro
theirs to Christ and all mankind.
Yes, England must pay after al
the years of greed and graft. Am
erica, the so-called Star of Peace
and democracy and beautiful flag
of red, white and blue, boasts OF
the democracy it intends to de-
fend when our shores are invaded
Flag Is Smeared
I wonder if we really have a de-
mocracy that we all feel that we
can die for if need be? I am sure
that our most beautiful flag in
the world, has stood by and allow
ed the Negro citizens to be lynch
ed, murdered, Disseminated and
burned to death. When this same
flag is threatened, or in trouble
with other countries, Negro lives
are sacrificed to keep her flowing
in the breeze. The Blood of thou
sands of Negro men and women
cry out in agony of the injustice
or nofl-protection of this flag. that
