FAITH FOR
(by RUTH TAYLOR)

In this day of crisis when pess-
imism hangs like a murky pail ov-
er so much Of our daily life and
conversational behooves US to
stop and consider-not the tribul-
atoms of the moment, but the
long range view of eternity.
Is this overwhelming thing that
is happening to us a calamity
which is ours alone to face-or
are we going through one of the
great cycles Of history through
which countless others before us
have passed?
Whatever, it is, we should in
time of trouble get back to first
things and contemplate the etern-
al goodness. In Writers poem
on this subject he states his faith
thus:
"Yet, in the ~maddening maze of
things,
And tossed by storm and flood
To one fixed trust my spirit
clings,
I know that God is good.
l know not what the future
hath
Of marvel or surprise
Assured alone, that life or
death
His mercy underlies."
If we hold fast to this we can
say with the Psalmist David -
"Yea, though I walk through the
valley Of the shadow Of death, I
shall fear no evil, for Thou art
with me. Thy rod and Thy staff
they comfort me-" Once we can
arrive at this state Of trust, then
we are able to face all problems
with the proper courage and per
+, spective.
And above all, we al go about
our daily life, and carry on Our
daily tasks as we should-wlth
high morale and ever with a mod
icum Of happiness. We have
much for which to be thankful
The rest Of the world has been at
/ war for nearly two long years.
We have had peace at home. We
have free speech, a free press, IN
censored discussion, and all the
rights guaranteed under the Con-
stitution. We have a chance to
live and work and learn according
to cur talents.
Yes, we must face the grave
conditions confronting US. Bnt
we must not darken u lives by
constant harping on u troubles
we must face them and continueI

ONCE AGAIN COLORED
FIGHTERS COVER RETREAT
OF WHITE BRITISH FORCES

Cairo, Egypt, NNS-Special to
Negro News Syndicate)-The Of
fetal statement of the British
War Office in regards to the rec
ent debacle in Crete, runs tersely
| to the effect that: after twelve
days of what was undoubtedly the
/. fiercest fighting in this war, it
| was decided to withdraw our fore
es from Crete. Some $4,000
troops have been withdrawn 70
Egypt, but it must be admitted
that our losses have been severe"
What this bleak announcement
fails to include, however, is the
all-important fact that in the
main it was only because Of the
intense bravery and courage Of
colored troops, mostly Maoris
from New Zealand, fighting for
the British Empire that enabled
$4,000 troops (mostly white) TO
escane. This was a repetition of
the British retreat from Greece,
where also it was the colored
fighters who held off the Nazis
parachute troops while the white
soldiers we're being evacuted.
Eyewitness accounts Of the last
days Of fierce fighting in Crete
are filled with ghostly details.
German planes dropped parachute
troops by the thousands-men
whose hands and faces were
stained the same green as their
uniforms. Against this rain Of
Green Hornets the morale Of the
| white troops were shattered. In
efficiency by the commanding Of
ficers and inadequate advance
preparation for t he long-expect-
ed Nazi invasion only aided to the
disastrous confusion.
In this dire hour Of grisly hor-
ror it was the Maori warriors who
| proved themselves the better fight
ers. As the green clad Nazi
troops dropped like hail from the
skies, the Maori ran to meet them
brandishing bayonets and knives.
A captured German prisoner later
told this reporter:
eff England had had a major
army made up Of those brown
boys, Hitler would long since have
lost this war"
To date, that is almost the only
praise heard for these staiwart
fighters, who sacrificed their liv-
es. There has been no official
word from the British War office
praising them.
1t may well be that the British
command is reluctant to call at
tention to the one-time size of
their colored contingent, for too
