THE STATUE OF E r

October 18th will mark the 57th
anniversary of the gift of the French
People of the Statue of Liberty to the
American people. Grover Cleveland
was President Of the United States and
in fitting phrases received the gift.
The Statue was erected at the en-
trance of New York harbor. 1t is Wis
ible for many miles from the sea and
seems to bid all persons fleeing the
lands of tyranny beyond the seas, a
welcome.
France, when she made the pres
entation, was a Free Republic. Now
she lies PROSTATE under the iron heel
of Nazi Germany. The spirit Of her
people is not dead and some day she
will rise again and proclaim her love Of
Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.
Gallant France has our deepest
sympathy. and we hope we shall show
it as we did twenty-four years ago.
Meanwhile, let the light of the Statue
Of Liberty shine more brightly as she
looks to the lands of slavery and blood
and death.

THE CHANGING ECONOMIC
SITUATION AND IT'S RELATION
TO ADVERTISING

Undoubtedly, increased spending
for national defense is increasing con-
sumner purchasing power. On the 9TH
er hand, restricted output Of certain
merchandise, needed for the military
service, is reducing the supply of con-
sumner goods in some lines. Therefore,
there is being created a sellers mar
ket".
Under these conditions, some mer
chandisers may think it unnecessary to
push sales through advertising. Moth
ing could be more disastrous to busin-
ess than this erroneous idea if it be-
came widespread.
The right kind iof advertising is
needed now more than ever. Changing
markets are being created because Of
the draft and defense employment.
The merchants's good customers of yes
terday may find their spending power
reduced tomorrow. New potential Gus
toners, with increased purchasing po-
wer, are being developed as a result Of
the defense program. Priorities and
increased demands for military goods
are creating a growing list Of substi-
tutes.
The mechant is confronted with
the problem Of both holding his old
customers and selling the new potent
lal customers. Furthermore, onsum-
ers are cropping in the dark. Many
are "jittery' and unjustly critical of
business. Advertisers must take con-
sumers into their confidence and tell
them the facts. The skeptical buyer
demands more information in adver-
Using. She must be informed Of the
necessary substitutions and the reasons
for them.
Advertising is destined to play a
more important part in the new econ
omic picture. But it must be true, &C
curate Informative advertising. I'm

conditions, some advertisers try to
justify sharp practices on the grounds
that they are necessary to secure bust
ness. Of course, this is a short-sighted

game and an about effort to make the
team win.
We can all recognize the "club
house lawyer" who car always tell how
the game should have been played and
where every mistake was made. He is
always an expert on what should have
been done-but he's pretty silent when
the going gets tough and the time for
action has arrived.
But the principal lesson we can
get out Of the games this summer is the
need for better team play. Many a
team has lost games and the pennant
because n player wanted to do all the
work and all the starring. Every fan
knows that a really good team is one
composed Of players who will work to-
gether for the team as a whole rather
than for themselves as individuals.
And the really good captain is the one
who inspires this kind of coordinated
team play.
There is another lesson to take to
heart-that is, no team car win all the
games, but the team that will win in
the end is the one which fights just as
hard in the games it loses as in the ones
it wins, playing fair all the time and
coming back after a losing fight to go
in and play just as intellectually and
courageously as ever. 1t is the last
gam that is played that determines
where the pennant shall go.
The Omaha guide., 1941-10-25

policy at any time, but in periods Of
scarcities, it is more ~fallacious than
ever.
Misrepresentation, exaggerat-
ions, bait advertising and other conf
dence destroying practices are both
unnecessary and uneconomic, and yes,
unpatriotic too! Advertising should
play a leading part in the prepared
ness program in creating and maintain
ing public morale. We feel confident
that Omaha advertisers will meet the
test.

THE BRITISH AND AMERICAN
AID TO RUSSIA


Where is the British and Amer
lean aid to Russia?
They sent a committee to Moscow
to find out what to send. Meanwhile
Germany continues her slaughter Of
the Russians on Russian soil.
In England they do nothing; in
America, and especially in the south
ern part Of it, where there is more race
and religious and color prejudice per
square than car be found anywhere
else on earth, men actively oppose Rus
sian aid. They call Russia Goddess.
theology aside, Russia has a very
great religion which embraces all hui
mainly in her borders. But England
and America, they have a religion
which permits white men to thwart
black men in their effort to rise.

States want Russia to win. We won

SKILLED WORKERS

Working men must realize, and
they must teach their sons and daugh-
ters, that common labor as they have
known it will soon be history. Mach
ines are taking the place Of men and
women and men and women must &C
quire the skill to master them.
In the early years Of our country
and of the world of the period, AGRIC-
ULTURE was the only great industry.
But for many years we have been in
process Of change from an agricultural
to an industrial economy. Through
the invention and large scale manu-
facture of machines, the change has
been very rapid upsetting in its on
ward sweep not only the labor market,
but in part, the whole economy.
The change has advanced to a
point which makes clear the labor need
it is skilled labor.
Preferment in the labor market
can only come to the skilled workers.
What are Negroes generally doing a.
bout it? We cry aloud for opportun-
ity in the labor market, while too many
of the race are too thoughtless or too
indolent to go to trade and opportunity
schools now everywhere, and learn to
do SOMETHING expertly.
Young men and young women
who have not learned to work skillful-
ly with hand and brain will be useless
in the future labor field.
Your salvation is in your own
hands.

OPEN LETTER
Dear Editor of The Omaha Guide:

Dear Editor of The Omaha Guide:
You contribution to the advance
ment Of the Defense Savings Program
through the editorial columns of your
publication is greatly appreciated by
the Treasury Department.
We place particular value on the
cooperation Of the Negro press. Not
only is the Defense Savings Program
expected to provide some of the funds
for National Defense; it is hoped to
turn part of current earnings away
from the purchase Of consumer goods
as a check against rising prices, and to
provide workers with a backlog of saw
ings for the readjustment period after
the emergency.
Therefore the help of publicat-
ions like yours has particular effect
iveness. Perhaps a majority among
your readers are profiting by the up
surge in employment and the amplified
payrOlls due to Defense spending.
Therefore your encouragement of sys-
tematic saving through the buying Of
Defense Bonds and Stamps is Of spec
ial advantage to them as well as of as
sistance to the general Defense Saw
ings effort.
For your convenience we are en-
closing a one column mat Of the Minute

ularly on the front page or in some in

THE BIGGEST BUSINESS

year. And Mr.. and Mrs. average AM

All of it goes to make good men and
women out of their children that they
may contribute to the betterment of
their country and the world.
Ninety percent of the needs Of the
families mentioned here receive but
little material reward for what they
place upon the common altar. Such
compensations as they receive result
largely from the consciousness Of duty

programs on the Radio chains pass
them by, but they go on their ever way
making of life and living something
worthy Of emulation.
Few OF them head great industr-
les, compose great poems and operas,
paint perfect sunsets, but each day and
every day, honestly, often humbly,
they perform their labors and place
their fruits upon the affairs Of their
homes and country.
Collectively they are the giants of
industry, and trade and commerce, and

they give for the heroes Of war and
peace.

NEGRO BANKS

There should be no such thing as
a Negro bank Or Negro anything else,
but as we face the realities, we must
have many of these things until such
time as democracy is achieved in this
country.
Such is the view of Emmer Mar
tin Lancaster, Advisor on Negro AT
fairs, of the United States Department
of Commerce. He points out that in
many cities Negro banks should be es-
tablished because Negroes are often
Disseminated against in this field. He
suggests that banks should be establ-
ished in seventeen cities where their
services are greatly needed. And he
points out why they should be owned
by Negroes.

MANILA HOLDS OUT UNDER BOMBER FIRE
PROCLAMATION
BY PRESIDENT
ON new YEAR

A proclamation has been issued
by Presiden. Roosevelt appointing
tomorrow as a Day of Prayer.
The proclamation, in full, is as
follows:
The year 194l has brought upon
our nation a war of aggression by
powers dominated by arrogan t
rulers whose selfish purpose is to
destroy free institutions. They
would thereby take from the free
dom loving peoples of the earth
the hard won liberties gained over
many centuries.
The new year of 1912 calls for
the courage and the resolution OF
old and young to help to win a
world struggle in order that we
may preserve all we hold dear.
We are confident in Our devo-
ton to country, in our love of free
dom, in our inheritance of courage
But our strength, as the strength
of all men everywhere, is or greater
avail as God upholds us.
Therefore, 1, Franklin D. Roose-
welt of the United States of AM
erica, do hereby appoint the first
day of the year 1912 as a day OF
prayer, of asking forgiveness foi
our shortcomings of the past, OF
conservation to the tasks of the
present, of asking Gods help in
days to come
We need His guidance that His
people may be humble in spirit but
strong in the conviction of the
right; steadfast to endure sacrifices
and brave to achieve victory OF
Liberty and Peace
In witness whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States of AM
erica to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington
