Believes Conveying Ships
Will Shorten War.


The letter in The Star from Alex
ander Sidney Lanier does not make
sense. He Is very much opposed to
our conveying ships to England, insisting
that "just as sure as night follows day
our conyoying ships will be sunk by the
Germans" thus bringing us into the
war.
But Mr. Lanier must be kidding him
self. We are in the war and have
been for quite spell. Does he favor
pouring billions of American taxpayers
money into war materials, food, air
planes, guns, and then not see that
they are delivered safely to the British?
That attitude Is foolish. Our job is to
furnish the materials and see that they
get overseas. OF course, we should
convoy the ships and the sooner we
accept that fact and do It, the sooner
the war will be over.

Traces History of Labor Troubles
As Logical Outcome" of National Policy

Traces History of Labor Troubles
As Logical Outcome" Of National Policy.
To the Editor of The Star:
For some time, certain politicians and
other interested persons have been trying
to convince us that the employers of
labor and the employed are two entirely
different kinds of human beings. The
first have been represented as wicked
and selfish, the exploiters of the poor
workingman, the villains responsible for
most of our economic and social ills. On
the other hand, no fault is admitted
against the workers" These are pre-
sumably all virtuous and high-minded
people and are usually represented as
the innocent victims of "capitalistic ex-
ploitation."
Suspicion and strife between these
two groups have been sedulously culti-
waited, and no agency has done more to
bring about this state of affairs than the
New Deal, with its Marxist complex, its
open hostility toward business" its I'M
disguised partiality toward labor organi-
cations, its one-sided legislation and
biased administrative boards.
There is no reason why wage earners
should be any better, morally or eth
ically, than the employers of labor. Both
are made of the same kind of human
flesh and blood, and both possess the
same kind of human weaknesses and
shortcomings. They are not different.
If there are any doubts about this, they
should be dispelled by the present epi-
demic of strikes with their Violence, the
gangster methods of the labor unions
with their .goon squads" and the ex-
orbitant fees demanded by the unions for

Says Senator Wheeler Is Right
About Duty to Fight "Our War;

To the Editor Of The Star:
Every drop of Irish blood in my veins
makes me proud of Yugoslavia and
Greece.
With little patience I am awaiting the
day when Ireland and the United States
begin to do their duty for themselves:
when the Irish grant naval bases to
England and when we realize that we
must deliver the weapons to those who
are fighting our battles.
Can't we understand that if the British
feet, under the Churchill government, is
eliminated, we will be hog tied?
Are we going to be content to hire
mercenaries when we are threatened
with century of poverty and militarism
on this continent?
Senator Wheeler is dead right when
he says that if this is our war we should
fight it. When he says it Is not our
war, he is tragically mistaken.

Suggests That Advocates of War
Should Share the Risk Involved.

To the Editor Of The Star:
I have always thought that regardless
of age or position a place should be
found at the front for those who so
enthusiastically advocate war or war
like moves. In fact they should be
compelled to accept such an oppor-
tunity.
Speaking of war spirit, Secretary Knox
is reported as admitting that the shib-
boleth ito save democracy" was used
to arouse our war spirit for the first
World War. To defend America first,
last and always, on American soil, never
will require any slogan to arouse the war
spirit of "We the People"

Tells How DIR. Washington
Made Tuskegee a Practical School.

To the Editor of The Star
This year Booker 7. Washingtons
birthday, April 5, impressively silhouettes
the structure of Tuskegee Institutes in
dustrial education program upon the
national scene.
During the last decades of the 18th
century when educators in this coun-
try and Europe we're developing the
theory of correlation and integration,
DR.. Washington successfully adapted it
as the method of instruction at Tus-
kegee. The student does the job as
well as learning how to do it. Each
project has a vital meaning. He had
students in English write papers rele-
want 10 their trades. Problems in
mathematics were based on farm and
shop work Thus ideas were translated
into simple language and there was an
interactiop between theory and practice,
and class and shop. Direct results of the
application of the method of correla-
ton are: A mental and manual ac-
QUESTION of technical process and an
understanding of the industrial and
social relationships involved in the trade.
Tuskegee Institute is not manual
training school where students are
taught to carry out certain processes
under stated conditions while not an
ticipating an extended method of pro-
cedure. Manual training students may
learn now to plane boards, but in an
industrial training course students learn
to use planes in constructing buildings.
Today the Tuskegee Institute COM
munity comprises $500 Negroes. Forty
one trades and aviation are included in
the curriculum.
