is "refuting at home the very the

A. Frogh, very bluntly told C. W.
Washington of the Minneapolis
Urban League, three weeks ago:

Ave. No., went to the plant several
days ago and he was refused an ap-
plication blank and told that the
firm did not hire colored people.
Henry French, ITO Hyland Ave.
No., was told the same thing when
he went to the plant.
At another plant which manufac
lures clothing and whose president
is active in speeding up defense in
dustry applications Of Negroes
have been accepted but allegedly
thrown in the waste basket after
the applicant leaves the employ
ment personnel desk.
Only one company holding de-
tense contracts, the D. N. Oman &
Sons Co., AZ Royalston Ave-, has
employed colored men since defense
work began. This firm did so with
out request, as a matter of right,
evidently feeling that all Ameri-
cans should share in the work of
producing materials for the defense
of the country.

mocracy'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 ma
ton, through its command Of the
defense forces and of those agen-
cies controlling the production of
defense 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"
For such action, however, the
government must have the backing
of well-informed public opinion,
the Council points out. 1t urges
community action by small local
groups to break down discrimina-
ton against the Negro. Local en-
ployment surveys to determine
where unemployment of Negroes
exists, surveys of Negro health
and housing, letters to the editor,
appeals by radio and discussion
groups are advocated.
"What is at stake" the Council
warns, "is not the status of a
race but the political, economic,
and social status of the individual
in a democracy"
when a nation enters the stress
of preparation for war and perhaps
war itself, then embittered and dis
illusioned people, beyond being a
burden, become a danger. Con-
vince any large group in the popu-
lation that their citizenship is only
second class that they are ex-
cluded from the benefits of the So
cial order they are expected to give
their lives to defend, and they be-
come fertile ground for subversive
propaganda, for agitation and I'M
rest"
Declaring that the relationship
of the Negro to national defense is
not only a problem but a challenge
and opportunity as well, the Coun-
Gil adds, Democracy will never
survive the present crisis as a froz-
en- concept; the struggle to pre-
serve it 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 men,
bers of a panel of more than three
hundred of the country's outstand-
ing authorities in the social
sciences, working in cooperation
with the Councils Committee of
Correspondence, of which Profess
sor Carl ]. Friedrich of Harvard is
chairman.
