Democracy" is the keyword that
men are conjuring with. But to many
of them it simply means more and
more,for themselves. But true de-
mocracy actually means restriction

the greater the number of people there
are whose interests must be consider
ed and conserved.
But when the people themselves

that we're just as good as anyone else,
if not little better then the question
Of personal liberty becomes very COM

How shall we meet the evils which
must inevitably grow out Of the demo-

Someone think it was Thomas
Carlyle once said that the cure for
democracy is more democracy. It

THE LOW DOWN FROM
HICKORY GROVE

From the antics of Congress a
person is liable to arrive at the con-
clusion that all Of 'em down there are
just there jumping through the hoop,
etc., waiting for the day when they can
be Supreme Court Judge. Also, lots
of 'em are there, some folks think, 50
as to get their son in law onto Uncle
Sambo's payroll versus their own.
But they are not all that kind Of
hairpin There are some Democrats
and a sprinkling Of Republicans who
still think maybe the Constitution is
fairly good yet and that Congress has
something to do except to nod yes sir,
Ike as if you were one dollar-a year
man. This old fashioned group figur-
es if a Dictator is undesirable and
pain in the neck in Germany or else
where, it would also not be so hot here.
The idea they been talking up
down there amongst the Top Kicks is
that democracy is 0. K. for fair wea-
ther but to overcome a dictator else
where we gotta have one too. Sounds
kinda fishy to us folks down around
Hickory.

Omaha, Nebraska, Saturday, August %, 1941

Last Thursday, however, the Rus
sion report was important. 1t ann
ounced the decimation of scores Of div
isions of the German army. This, if
true, means the beginning of the end
for Germany. If, for instance, Germ
any has lost so divisions, about 1,2OO,-
600 men or more than twenty percent
of German effectives in military
sense, she cannot continue the struggle
in face Of such tremendous losses.
Moreover, the German task will grow
more difficult as her lines of communi-
cation are heightened And very soon,
the rains will begin to fall, followed by
snow and bitter cold.
The forces, against which no mil
itary genius can provide a defense,
beat Napoleon and they will beat Hit
Ter, if they descend upon him. And
they will come upon him, if he remains
in Russia a short time longer.
Germany is racing for oil and un-
less she gets it, she will be undone.
And each day the chances increase that
she will not get the oil.

DEFENSE BONDS

United States Defense Bonds are
good investment. 1t is safe invest

Persons who are not able to buy
bonds may buy U. S. Savings Stamps,
All Of us can buy them.
If each Negro in the United Stat
es purchased ONE DOLLARS
WORTH of U. S. Savings Stamps, it
would represent $15,O0O,0OO.OO. Multi
ply this by ten and you will reach
figure which the present National Ad-
ministration will regard as worthy of
notice.
This is our country; we helped to
make it what it is, and it's future, come
what may.

goose that lays the golden eggs.
While the government is demand
ing and receiving SO much from indus
try during this national emergency, it
should try to strengthen it in every
possible manner.
But strange as it may seem, there
are many industries in this nation that
are today being handicapped by lack
of government cooperation, or by
planned government policies which
restrict or compete with them Elect
ricity, oil and coal are good examples
they are faced with the threat of Soc
ialization backed by the government
itself.
Instead Of such destructive pol
icy, government should help safeguard
private enterprise which big and little
investors own. Such investments make
it possible for this nation to prosper
and carry out its national defense pro-
gram.

LET'S PULL TOGETHER
(by Ruth Taylor)


Have you ever watched tug of
war? If you have, then you know that
it isn't always the side on which there
is the greatest strength that wins.
The winning team is the team that
pulls together
We need that kind Of team work
now in our haste to rearm in world
maddened by war. And it is the dis
ruption of that team work on which
the enemy, both without and within,
is concentrating its attack
True we are not physically at
war. There are no hostile armies en-
camped on our territories. Within the
three mile limit our ships are safe. We
still watch with eye of interest rather
than alarm, the swift flight of the
graceful planes across the summer sky.
But there is a war on now and
here. 1t is Blitzkreig of words of
ideas. AS deadly as the poison gas it
emulates and precedes, the attack is
on our unity. Beware of all propagan-
ola that seeks to divide this country in
to groups whether the diversions be
those Of class, race, religion or color!
The development of group"
thinking is the forerunner of discord,
making men look with suspicion
upon their neighbors and unleashing
forces of hatred that when fully grown
would destroy the unity of purpose
which is the backbone of our country.
For our unity is forged not as
the unities of overcrowded Europe,
of fear and hatred but by common
purpose, common ideal twards which
we strive, however imperfectly we may
at times express it. 1t is the unity of
those who love America and it's form
OF government and who would rather
live here under democratic rule than
any place else in the whole world.
And how right they are and how
much better off.
We are too apt as a people to
think first Of what our government
can do for us rather than what we
can do to help make our government
better. Democracy is not gift. 1t is
the expression Of free men and must
be earned and paid for by each succeed
ing generation. AS Sergeant York,
speaking at the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier, said: Liberty and freedom
and democracy are so very precious
that you do not fight to win them once
and then stop. Liberty and freedom
and democracy are prizes awarded on
ly to those people who fight to win
them and then keep fighting entern-
ally to hold them"
This is fight in which we must
have team work, so let's all pull toget-
her-and we'll win.

ROOSEVELT AND CHURCHILL

The long awaited announcement
from the secret meeting between Pres
ident Franklin D. Roosevelt Of the I'm
tied States and Prime Minister Wins
ton Churchill of Great Britain, was
given to the world last Thursday.
1t is one of the briefest and at the
same time one of the most far reach
ing utterances ever delivered by two
world-statesmen. 1t lays down, in
broad outline, the POST WAR AIMS
OF THE TWO STATESMEN.
They are: l. No territorial enlarge
ments as result of the war.
2. No territorial changes imposed
by force.
g. Restoration of sovereign
rights to those forcibly deprived of
them.
A. Equal enjoyment of world
trade and raw materials by all nations
5. Improved labor standards,
economic advancement and social Sc
curity for all.
6. A peace securing safety and
tranquility the world over.
z. Freedom of the seas to all.
s. Abandonment by all nations of
the use of force and disarmament Of
aggressive nations.
What machinery will be necess-
ary to carry out these lofty aims, was
not stated. Presumably, details will
be worked out and combinations of ma
tions formed to ensure these ends.
Meanwhile, and precedent to the
enforcement Of the post war aims,
these great leaders have the task of
"THE FINAL DESTRUTION OF
NAZI TYRANNY.
To the plan thus far disclosed,
we give our hearty assent, provided all
races and colors are embraced in the
plan.
We have admired Winston
Churchill since he first made the head
lines in the very early 1900s, And we
have long admired President Roose-
welt. We know Of no two men in the
world of our time better fitted to per-
form this great new task than Roose-
welt and Churchill.

NEGRO SOLDIERS AND
OFFICERS

Assistant Secretary of War, Rob-
ert Patterson, announced last week
that there are now $4,000 Negro sold
iers in the United States army. The
present total of soldiers in the army is
about 100000 Officers in the white
units are one to each thirteen soldiers.
According to our population, we
should have one tenth of the army
strength, or 100000 And if the Ne
gro officers, as they should be, were
one to each thirteen men, there would
be 1883 Negro officers in the armed
forces. But there are but 265.
Negroes are being taxed to pay
officers of other races and must listen
to lot of prattle about democracy in
the United States and National Unity,
while the Commander in Chief of the
Army and Navy permits such glaring
discrimination against the largest mi
nority group in the United States.
There can be no unity while such
practices are permitted by the leader Of
our fighting forces.
During the first world war, Pres
ident Wilson did much better than
that. Thus the present administrat-
ion has precedent to guide it.
But he should go far beyond any
thing the late President Woodrow
Wilson did in military matters, be-
cause President Roosevelt processes
to be the worlds first disciple of free
dom and opportunity for ALL Presi-
dent Wilson did not include all in his
profession of faith, but he did much;
President Roosevelt should do infin-
itely more.
Mr.. President, become realistic on
the Negro question and National I'm
ity. You have eighty thousand Negro
es under your command at the present
time, but you have but 265 Negro Of
ficers, nearly all Of them ieutenants.
You should now have under your COM
mand Negro officers in all grades
numbering 6153. But there are only
265, one tWenty-third of the num-
Der the Negroes should have.
And We ask again for whose dem
ocracy are the Negroes working and
fighting?
