One Form OF Sabotage

The Coatesville, Pennsylvania, Record
recently published a letter written home
by young man who had been taken into
the army under the selective service act.
He said I'VE give up a year of our lives,
the comforts of homes, and countless 9TH
er things for barracks, hard work and
duty from sun-up to shutdown. We do
our part and do it harder than anyone
at home, and yet it's the people at home
who are doing the kicking and squaWk-
ing.
They kick about wages and squeal
about hours, strike, threaten to strike, tie
up machinery, and there you are y. The
people wanted soldiers - millions of
them. Yet every day it's becoming ap-
parent that many Of these same people
think more Of few cents an hour than
they do of their own children and rela-
tives.'
It is interesting to know what young
men who are serving their country in the
army for less than dollar day think
Of the highest paid Workmen in the world
who threaten to block defense produc-
tion unless they arc paid still more. How
much longer will the American people
stand for this form OF sabotegeS

grows Discrimination, injustice, and
gradual tanning Of the flames have kept
it growing.
What is back Of this raising Of the cry
Negro problem? Who is tanning the
fires Of hatred and blind and senseless

by the application Of the slogan Divide
and conquer?'
Negroes in America are citizens Of the
United States-subject to the same Con-
stitution as other citizens, entitled to the
same rights, and responsible for the
same obligations That is the law of the
land--regardless of how selfish and self
interested individuals may interpret i.
The existing status of Negroes is one
for both races to change. The totall-
tartan states have solved it by relegating
the Negro to a state of lowest inferiority.
They believe in driving him all the way
