Navy and Marine Corps. where "the exclusion and humiliation of the Negro are complete" the Council charges. This attitude of the Navy and Marine Corps led to their be- ing characterized by the Hampton Institute Conference on the Negro in National Defense, as representing the most un-democratic and un- American aspect of our Govern ment.'
 The memorandum objects vigar- ously to the present, traditional po- Hey of the U. s. Army that Negroes shall be enrolled and trained in se- gregated Negro units," but admits that this system can be changed only very slowly. It contends, how ever, that segregation should not be used, as 1t has in the past, to de- grade Negro soldiers to work bat taions, officers servants, and men, ial labor.
 Application of Negroes for Army air training has been consistently denied, according to the memoran- dunn, although 1t notes that a segre- gated air field is to be built at Tus- kegee Institute, Alabama. The sit- uation Is little better In the Nation al Guafd, where Hate in 1940 there were fewer colored units than there had been prior to the First World War"
 To meet the challenge of demo- cracy'S test case, the Council urges action from the top and from the ground up"
 From the top such effort must take the form of control by the na- ton, through its command of the de- fense forces and of those agencies controlling the production of de- fense material. Surely the Army and the Navy, in the forefront of defense for democracy, should give an example of the democratic spirit they are to defend"
 Urges Public Protest
 For such action, however, the gov- ernment. must have the backing of we'll informed public opinion, the Council points out. It urges com munity action by small local groups to break down discrimination against the Negro, Local employ ment surveys to determine where unemployment of Negroes exists, surveys of Negro health and hous- ing, letters to the editor, appeals by radio and discussion groups are ad- vocated.
 "What is at stake" the Council warns, lis not the status of a race but the political, economic, and so- cial status of the individual in democracy"
 "When a nation enters the stress of preparation for war and perhaps war itself, then embittered and disil- lusioned people, beyond being a bur- den, become 8 danger. Convince

any large group in the population that their citizenship is only 'sec- ond class that they are excluded from the benefits of the social or- der they are expected to give their lives to defend, and they becom fer- tile ground for subversive propagan- da, for agitation and unrest"
 Declaring that the relationship of the Negro to national defense is not only a problem but a challenge and opportunity as well, the Council adds, Democracy will never survive the present crisis as frozen con- cept; the struggle to preserve 1t must on all fronts be linked with the struggle to extend It."
 This new memorandum is the third in the Democracy in Action" series published by the Council For Democracy. These discussions of vital issues are prepared by members of a panel of more than three hun dred Of the country's outstanding authorities in the social sciences, working in cooperation with the Councils Committee of Correspond ence, of which Professor Carl J. Friedrich of Harvard Is chairman.

 To-day America needs all Its man. nower," the Council declares. "Ii needs the skill and talent and the aemOcratic faith of all its people me Negro population is capable of making tremendous contribution and we cannot afford to turn that contribution down because of sense- less prejudice and discrimination"
 The memorandum was based on Information supplied by national panel Of consultants, including Will w. Alexander, conSultant on minor aty groups, Office of Production Management; Jonathan Daniels, editor, Raleigh (N. C9 News and Observer; Walter White. secretary, National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People; Pro- lessor Otto Klineberg, Columbia University: Aubrey Williams, admin astrator, National Youth Adminis- eration: pr. Joseph s. Roucek, Hofs- 4ra college; and Herbert J. Selig- mann. author.
 A Stupid Policy
 Citing specific glaring examples of Discrimination against Negroes in defense industries, particularly avia- tion, in labor unions, and in the armed forces, the memorandum warns: "Today we are struggling to preserve our democracy. Certainly At Is Q dangerous and stupid policy which compels one-tenth of our Population to fight simply for an op- portunity to participate in that struggle"
 Assailing the lack of training fa- Mllities for Negroes, the Council notes Shat the Negro has become part of @ vicious circle "in which manufac- &irers refuse to hire Negroes on the ground that they are not trained and schools refuse them on the ground that there will be no jobs for those trained"
 The Councils memorandum re- flutes common misconceptions about Negroes, pointing out that the Me- gro is readily adaptable to work in skilled trades and that his bravery on the battlefield is unquestioned.
 ''The facts are clear enough" the Council states. "The blanket asser- ton that Negroes are inefficient workers has no foundation In truth. Nor Is there any validity to the be- lief that colored employees and white employees cannot successfully work together"
 Pointing out that Negroes have fought in every war in which the nation has been engaged, the Coun- oil adds: "The testimony of officers who commanded Negro soldiers in the First World War Is Q decisive addition to the irrefutable evidence of their loyalty. courage, discipline and soldierly qualities"

dent Roosevelt has fatty ruled out
any convoy of British merchant
vessels by American warships or
transfer of any more American
destroyers 10 Britain at this time.
The President told newsmen
that suggestions for convoy or the
transfer of warships were "old
Mother Hubbard stuff" adding
that he could be quoted on that.
Mr.. Roosevelt also disclosed that
the administration is seriously con-
sidering the freezing of all German,
Italian and Japanese assets here.
On the convoy question, the
executive was represented as be-
lieving that escort by United
States naval vessels of British
ships or neutral ships with British
cargoes through the German SUBJ
