DEFENSE COMMITTEE

The committee on Fair Employment
Practice last Monday began its duties
of investigating and acting on COM
plants of discrimination in defense
employment. AS originally author
lied by the President the committee
was to have five members. 1t now has
been enlarged to six, but through what
considerations is not perfectly clear.
The demand for two colored members,
which was granted, may have sug-
gested the increased total, to be based
upon a ratio of color. With Mr.. Mark
Etheridge as chairman, the other
members as to color will stand three
to two in the debate and vote of ques-
tions coming before them.
The chairman's opening statement
is frank recognition of the important
work to be done by the committee. He
said:
"Total defense for America means
total utilization of all our resources,
material and human. To finish the
tremendous production task we have
set ourselves, we must use all quail
fled labor, regardless of race, creed,
color or national origin.
otherwise, we can never turn out
speedily enough and in quantity
enough the tanks, planes, guns and
ships which will make our nation the
effective arsenal of democracy.
From a practical standpoint-that
of getting the job done-discrimina
ton against loyal and qualified work.
ers for any reason is stupid.
From the standpoint of democratic
aims, it is unforgiveable.
Gums, planes, tanks and ships alone
will not make US strong. If we are to
keep men free, we must take positive
steps to widen the base of democracy
at home while we help to defend it
abroad.
$50 long as various groups in our
population are arbitrarily denied op-
portunities to take part in the defense
program, we cannot expect them to
share that feeling of national unity
which is crucial to national morale"
These are fair enough words which
indicate conscientious desire to over
come intolerance in defense employ
ment and thereby strengthen national
unity and morale imperatively de-
manded in the present grave emer-
gency. The committee is bound to
meet opposition in the form of CHI
canery and just plain stubborness on
the part of employers whose preiudices
are not easily changed by appeals to
loyalty.

ARMY DIVISION MAY FORM

head the 372d Infantry when it arrives
at Fort Devens. When the brigade
status is authorized, all the elements
OF a division can easily be assembled
in " hours. If this is verified, it will
be the first time in history that New
England has had within its borders
such a large number of colored SOL
diers. This possibility looms from other
grapevine information that one of the
regular army divisions in training for
several weeks at Fort Devens will en-
bark soon for one of the insular bases
located on the Atlantic Ocean. This
transfer will make room for more units
to be near the jumping off point after
period of training is ended.
A brigade status for tactical pur-
poses is necessary when the peak of
regimental schooling has been reached.
A brigade program is the next ad-
vanced order according to the new
tables of organization. Tactical du-
plication would be a waste of time.
especially when events of military i'm
portance depend on maximum training
speed and nearby embarkation centers.

ORGANIZATION

"a number of people Systematically
united" is the definition given in the
dictionary of an organization.
When we hear of an organization
we take it for granted that what is
meant is a church, lodge, the Elks,
the Masons or some other large group
of people. That is what person refers
to when he says that he has never
belonged to an organization and never
intends to.
We challenge the above statement
by saying there is not a person living
who has not belonged to some organi-
zation.
Going back to our definition, "a
number of people" is two or more
persons. Therefore, a family is an
organization because a men and a
woman have been systematically
united As most everybody is a mem
ber of family when he is born or
before he dies, we are going to use
the family as an example of an organi-
zation in which we are all interested.
In any organization-inclu the
family-we should look for certain
points.
First, the objectives.
Second, the leader.
Third, the exchange of experiences
and ideas of the members.
The objects of family are so well
known that we can pass over them
quickly. A family needs capital enough
to clothe, shelter and feed its members.
The state guarantees the children an
elementary education But, in addi-
tion, the members want happiness, con-
tentment, security in old age, higher
education. A good job held by the
bread winner of the family is neces-
sary for this. How to get and hold
good job is partly taken care of in
our next point which covers the quail
ties needed by the leader.
A leader should have good person
ality and self-confdence which comes
from knowledge, understanding, train
ing and experience. The most import
ant of these, we believe, is understand

GLADYS KELLEY HONORED

EDITORS note: This article was pre-
pared for last weeks issue before the
death of Mrs. Kelley and at her request
her illness was not stressed.
One of our most beautiful and mean
ingful English words is appreciation.
1t is expressed in many ways. Some
times it takes the popular style charac-
terized by extreme effusion and ex-
plosive demonstration. At other times
it is exhibited under the heading of
kindly acts and fervent gestures. Still
other ways of featuring the apprecia-
ton sense appear in those deep silences
so eloquent in their sincerity of pur-
pose. But certain occasions create
their own style of proceeding and no
one cares to cavill as to method, form
or structure.

WHEN LIBERTY MAKES US FREE
By DR.. Charles Stelale

Brethren, ye have been called unto
liberty; only use not liberty for an oc-
casion to the flesh, but by love serve
one another. For all the law is fulfilled
in one word, even in this; Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyself."
You can trust any man with all the
liberty in the world if he'll base his ac-
tions on love toward his neighbor.
You may give him the key to your
city and to your home-hell honor the
confidence you have placed in him, and
he himself will become a better man
because you trust him.
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 a restriction
of liberty, for as democracy increases
the greater the number of people there
are whose interests must be considered
and conserved.

HARLEM SOCIALITES GIRD FOR
DEFENSE


The American Woman's Volunteer
Service opened its Harlem headquar-
ters on Tuesday, July %, at 1876 w. 125
st. The office was donated by Mr..
Kanton of the department store bear
ing his name and was thoroughly fitted
by donations from a group of business
menn on w. 125th st. Among them
are: Mr.. John Mickey of the Carolina
Funeral Parlor who supplied chairs;
L. Blumstem and Co., who sent baskets
of flowers; Woolworth and Co. through
Manager Stell who supplied decora-
tions, desk appointments, flower vases
and waste baskets; Mr.. Hoilstock who
brought his drum and bugle corps of
forty lovely uniformed girls who sup
piled military music. (Mr. Hoilstock
also loaned his huge government flag,
largest in the world); Mr.. Harry Full
stem who sent flowers, and Mr.. Kanton
who not only furnished the space but
desks, tables, files and two large flags,
one of the state of New York and one
of the United States. Mr., Philips, of
the Chamber of Commerce also loaned
chairs.
The American Women's Volunteer
was started some months ago at Z E.
81 st. N. Y. when one of New York's
old mansions was donated for head
quarters from which the branch bo-
rough headquarters emanated. The
idea was brought to America by Mrs.
MsClean of the famous family of that
name. Mrs. MCLEAN patterned the
service after those planned and exc
cuted by Lady Redding who prepared
the women of England to save the

But when the people themselves
rule-and when everyone of us thinks
that we're just as good as anyone else,
if not a little better-then the question
of personal liberty becomes very COM
plicated.
How shall we meet the evils which
must inevitably grow out of the demo-
cratic form of government?
Someone-I think it was Thomas
Carlyle-once said that the cure for
democracy" is more democracy. 1t
certainly isn't less democracy.
But to make democracy safe, it's
going to require something more than
mere democracy-it means that we've
got to introduce more of the element
of love, and the apostle Paul put it
into zone word" when he wrote the
Galatians: "Thou shalt love thy neigh
bor as thyself."
The worlds wisdom will never
evolve simpler and more easily work
able plan than this.

property is in direct line with the
proposed route skirting Alexandria

Washington. The engineers said
they believe the large volume of
traffic will justify the most direct
routing that can be obtained and
that this is a major reason for the
decision not to accept the proposed

viii eliminate the possibility Of col
lisions between vehicles going in
different directions under the pro-
posed system. A three-level cross
ing will be built south Of the new
Navy Building about 300 feet from
the new War structure.
1t is planned that south-bound
traffic to the new route west Of Alex
andria and to Arlington Ridge road
will use the upper level; traffic from
Lee boulevard and Columbia pike to
Washington will use the interme-
diate level, while the lowest level will
permit travel from Arlington Ridge
road and then bypass west OF Alex
andria to Columbia pike and Lee
boulevard without entering main
routes near the War Building.
Main routes will have two, three
or four lanes for travel in each di-
rection. Opposing lanes of travel
will be separated by from 6 to Is
feet, and in many sases by wide
parked areas. Entrances to main
routes will be 1ared. so that enter
ing vehicles may gradually merge
with the main traffic stream. Pro-
vision for night lighting will be
made throughout.
The plans will permit a continu-
GUS flow of large traffic streams to
and from the War Building, and
interchange of traffic between seven
major routes entering the area. The
design has been governed by the
necessity Of providing facilities for
numerous converging streams of
traffic, engineers said. explaining
that in many respects the plans re-
semble those for express highways
in the New York City area.
Construction of the new high
ways and overpasses will be super
vised by the P. R. A, working in
close cooperation with the War
Department. Temporary surfaced
