THE NEGRO NEWSPAPER
HAS A DUTY

The Negro Newspaper has a duty
to perform for its public. 1t must pub
lish the news, good and bad, in the life
of the people it chiefly serves; it must
speak for the minority to the major
ity; it must insist upon respect for and
obedience to law; not by the Negroes
alone, but also by the majority groups
toward Negroes; it must seek always
to educate majority elements in the
community about Negroes, their con-
tribution and worth to America.
They should do all these things
without apology or s~ubservience. They
represent the largest minority group
in the United States and they have Civ
en- more and received less in proportion
to their numbers of any racial group
in it; and they are still giving of them
selves.
The Negro Newspaper has a func-
ton above and beyond that of an adver
Using medium for the editor, gifted
and worthy though he be.
If we publish a good paper, full Of
news and sound opinion our Eight
will not hid under a bushel'. We will
not need our picture on the front page
Of every issue. And by and by the sore
ly tried and Weary will see the light
from the torch which we bear and find
a better path than they otherwise had
known.
Fellow editors be of good cheer,
your service is far greater and infinite
~ better than many who stand in 'The
White Light" Of false glory.

THE BLACK MAN AND
THE JEW
(by Myrtle M. Goodlowl
Dedicated to Mrs. Mable Glenn
The cross of the lowly Nazarenei
Was carried up Calvary's Hill
By Simon a Cyrenian-
Who was dark Of skin
And today it is sad but true
The Black Man and the Jew
Are carrying crosses still
Both have been crucified
And in agony have cried
OH! God how long
Before we sing the triumph song?
The White man laughed
When Halle Selassie left his
throne
But God still rules and watches
DER His own
And Halle Selassie is again on
his throne.
Today when the whole Of Europe
faces disaster
1t is far from being a laughing
matter
For many a king has left his
throne
And now they too must roam
Like a wandering Jew without a
home.
The mightiest drama this world
has staged
Is being played by England,
Russia and Germany-Japan
And other nations will soon take
a hand
Those who read Gods word can
see
His Eternal Truth in fulfilled
prophecy,

a far greater task than any faced upon

WHAT is THE REAL ISSUE?
(by Ruth Taylor)

ut isn't III war" "Why fight
for an undemocratic democracy
Get a square deal first-then talk of
helping" These phrases beat upon the
heart and brain constantly. These en-
envy slogans are clever, for they sound
logical--eXcept for one all important
thing.
The all out struggle to maintain
a democratic way of life is not a strug-
gle in which we are asked to help any,
one else get what he wants. If We face
the facts squarely, we'll have to admit
that u generation may have to face
sacrifice, privation and suffering.
But it is not for ourselves alone
that we are fighting the next gener
alton may we'll be the chief benefic-
larry. It is for our children, playing a.
way the golden hours Of summer with
joyous hearts. 1t is in order to keep
the horrors of this brutal War from
them, SO that they may never know
the hatreds and bitterness of life in a
slave country; that they may grow
strong and healthy minded in a free
land, where though there may be
handicaps they have the opportunity
to rise above them and help to build a
better democracy in which their child
rem and their children's children may
climb still higher.
Because of this overwhelming
urge to keep our children safe to grow
straight and strong, mentally as we'll
as physically, we can put aside resent
ment, bitterness and personal pride.
We can lay aside our prejudices to
struggle for one common goal-a pres
ervation Of democracy for the next
generation.
Whether we fight with men or
munitions, whether we serve in armed
forces or at home-we serve, whatever
the job may be.
1t has been frankly admitted that
the Negro is not being treated fairly in
the matter Of defense jobs-but the
way to change that is not by allowing
enemy propaganda to drive a wedge
between groups Of people and iso
late them from the rest of the nation
by arousing bitterness and resentment.
Discrimination against minorities is
wrong and it has to be changed but,
thank God, in a democracy it is recog-
nized and can be changed!
The Nazis have gone on record as
to the slave status to which they would
reduce the Negro. The Fascist prov
ed what they would do in their rape of
Ethiopia. The Communists claim to
give equal status to Negro and white
but how would the American Negro
es-with their keen appreciation and
abiding trust in religion, so beautiful
ly expressed in the spirituals hat are
one of their greatest contributions to
American life-fare under a regime
that denies the God in whose honor
those songs are sung?
Democracy remains the only way
out and up-with freedom to progress
and to worship according to the dict
ates of ones own conscience and for
what it may bring to the next gener-

 HOCKEY HONORS

 The Boston Bruins clllng to c one point lead in the National League hockey race Thursday night while the New York Rangers moved the Chicago Black Hawks out of third position and Detroit strengthened its grip on the No. slot at the ex- pense of the hapless Brooklyn Americans.
 Toronto gained two points by blanking the Bruins, 20, with two perfect goal plays in the last five minutes of g match featured by Sterling defense work on the parts of Goalies Turk Broda and Frank Brimsek. A crowd of 1O,8T6 saw Johnny McGcreedy and Billy Taylor score on assists.
 Slow Start
 The Rangers climbed to third on their home ice as 12,126 fans watch; ed them score three times in the second period and twice again in the third after trailing, 20, before starting the drive which produced a 5-2 triumph.

Ordinarily, Racing Rest Would Be Good Thing, But Tourists Pay Way in Southern California; Anita
 Nags Might Just as We'll Be Turned Out

The lush tourist trade pays the largest part of the racing freight in Florida and southern California. War will curtail nberal.tipping transients. It Is certain to cut down the number of migratory loafers, which, under the circumstances, is just as well.
 EIialeah Park will make room for Whirlaway, Midland, Challedon and a few more of the bigger names but the bulk of the many horses quartered at Santa Anita might as well be turned out until another spring campaign rolls around and they can be shipped to tracks in territory not vulnerable to air raids. A number Of the cheaper thor oughbreds may get action in New Orleans, but more barns would have to be built to accommodate ''refu- gees" at any one of the three winter tracks which are to operate.
 And additional stalls wouldn't guarantee the great majority of the transfers too much competition. Because large fields bring action at the selling windows, racing secre- taries go in for quantity, rather than quality, and Tropical, Hialeah and New Orleans already have enough stock to fill their programs <. and then some.
 As many as 50 throw-outs in Q cheap race at Fialeah or Tropical Is nothing out Of the ordinary. re- call such an event at Tropical inst winter in which more than 60 horses couldn't get in.

 Ordinarily, the cessation of racing would win an approving nod from this worn corner:
 An over-abundance of tracks operate in the north throughout the spring, summer fall. So many that there are times when all have tough time scraping up sunicient entries.
 outside of the winter, when the racing front is necessarily limited the business comes close to being everdone.
 That's dangerous.
 It has been killed deader than a door nail before. you know.
 Right now years rest would be precisely what any sensible doctor would order in several spots.
 Winter racing is an altogether different proposition. The number of tracks operating can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Only one runs at 8 time in any section and the more important strips are the width of the continent apart.
 It goes without saying that there are plenty of horses.
 southern California and Florida are the two places that can stand seasonal racing year and and yeaz out without the slightest ill-e1ect.
 Indeed, it Is highly beneficial to the communities, for the runners and play bring in tourists.

 Now that Christmas is behind us, We have time to pause for Q back ward look at radio during the year which is drawing to Q close. The broadcastlrg industry has done a stand-out job during the entire yesr, but especially so in these excitement-packed last feew weeks of the old year. will any radio lis. tener ever forget the flash which announced the Jap attack on Pearl Harbor and subsequent news cov- craze of the war in the Pacific? What single broadcast of the year. of anv year-could equal in import Aace the message of President Roosevelt to Congress in which he asked for Q declaration of war against Japan9 Through the magic of American radio and It's wise and capable management, the nation as whole had Q ringslde seat from which to watch latest developments.
