The Negro Menace

Racial equality was IMPOSED upon America by Lin
colnsome day, his will be cursed by all whites The
Jewish New Deal continues the path of racial destruc
ton by catering to the coored peoples in political and
even social way
Cases wherein Aryan white Gentie) women at
tackled by Negroes quite frequently Only short
time ago. the newspapers printed story about Negro
who freely admitted to the Boston police of having at
tackled at least ii white including GO years old
The War Department has ordered the setting up of
Negro units in all branches of the service including avia
ton.
This means that in Roosevelt and his interna-
tiona clique of Fifth Counists succeed i'm bringing
country into the Negroes will be used to bomb and
MAIN and kill white brethren Or they might
be used against people in the New Deal de-
cdes to crush by force of the rising opposition to its
anti-Amercan policies.
The above examples of the growing Negro menace
show the dire need for protective We must
therefore, demand:
First immeriate disarmament of and dismissal from
military service of all Negroes;
Second death by hanging for Negroes having violated
white women.
Fellow whites! Aryan supremacy must be reestab-
lished in these United States.

the April 18th issue of Time in the article Dictator HOur
quotes the following the words of Hitler telling of his
periences during World War Number L:
Il felt that whms of fortune which kept at the front
In place where lucky the part of Negro could
shoot me down."
One is to believe that the great dictator did not fear
DEATH but bitterly opposed to coming to his end at the
hands of the Negro.

Seattle's Biggest Ovation Awaits
Jimmie Lunceford And His Orchestra

When they sing "Cheatin' On Me"
and well All Right Then" the
house bows down. Yes, every MEM
Der of his band is a college man
and it goes on to show that it is
the most intelligent sepia orches-
ira in the music world.
Lunceford and Paul Whiteman,
the king of jazz, were born in the
same city, Denver, Colo. And
strangely Jimmie received his first
musical training under Paul
Whiteman's father.
Lunceford learned. to master the
clarinet, flute, drums, trombone
and guitar, was the leader of glee
clubs before becoming an orches-
ira pilot. He is radio favorite,
plays the finest night clubs and
marches off with the biggest box
office receipts.

Regardless OF Race

About one American In every
statement issued today by the
ten belongs to the Negro Race. A
statement issued today by the
committee on Negro American De-
Tense Industries makes the point
that SO far our colored fellow
citizens are being denied full par
ticipation as skilled workers in the
aircraft, automobile and shipbuild-
ing industries, and that they have
restricted opportunities to acquire
slxills. The existence of "a few cre-
ditable exceptions" the committee
believes, does little to relieve the
general situation.
The results, 1t contends, are
harmful to morale, encourage
"subversive agitators opposed to
the American way Of life." and
impair the effort to create nation
al unity. The force Of these argu-
ments must be admitted.
The signers include Governor
Lehman, Mayor LaGuardia, VIII
liam Allen White and many 9TH
ers whose names stand for con-
structive thinking and action.
Among them are Southerners tho
roughly familiar with conditions
and problems south of the Mason
and Dixon line. A nation max
ing an about effort cannot neg
lect any element in its population
If 1t is engaged on the side of de-
mocracy it must leave the doors
of opportunity open to all, regard
less Of race.

When Jimmie Lunceford and his
orchestra doff their hats to dance
and music lovers of Seattle at the
Senator Auditorium, 7th and Union
SITS. Wednesday night, May FL,
they are duefor the thrill of their
young lives. The local musicians
union sponsoring the sepia master
of swing has invited all the mu-
sicians of Seattle to come and see
the master of them all and his ma
gic maestro's port folio with its
sweet swing, fast fiery tempo rhy-
thin, smooth mellow waltzes and
rhumbas-all of which look alike
to him when he gives the green
light that gets feet all mixed up.
Oh, boy, "Tain't what you do"
That Lunceford trio, Cy Oliver,
William Smith and Eddie Tomkins,
is certainly a rare combination.

Ban On Negroes
Laid To AFL Unions

CLIO unions yesterday were alb
solved of any charges of discrimin-
alton against Negroes in defense
industries by DR.. Robert c. Wea-
ven assistant to Sidney Hillman
in OPMs program of migrating
Negroes into the defense effort.
However, DR.. Weaver severely
took to task several AFL unions
which, he said, by constitutional
bar, custom or otherwise, closed
their books to Negro members.
DIR. Weaver said employers in
the airplane industry were trying
to pass the buck to the unions for
their no-Negroes-hired policy.
Most of the aircraft companies
are open shop" he pointed out,
80 the union argument would not
apply. The CLIO unions which have
contracts in some aircraft plants
are not discriminating against Ne
gro membership, while the AFL
machinists' union is doing so.
"In some unions of the AFL,
Negroes are admitted to be help
ers in auxiliary locals but not as
apprentices, so they cannot rise to
become skilled mechanics.
"Some AFL unions, by consti-
tutional provision, admit only
white persons while others, which
have no such provisions, exclude
Negroes by license policies or 9th
err ways"

PM Queries a Score O
Important Defense
Industrialists On Job
Discrimination

In an effort to pin down the
industrialists who are profiting
from defense contracts to a clear
statement of their policy on hir-
ing heroes PM yesterday dis
patched telegraphic queries to a
score of major arms producers.
The telegram, reproduced on this
page, unequivocally states PMS
belief that in many places Me-
groes are being denied participa-
ton in the fruits of democracy
and asks for a statement of poll
cy toward the employment of
them:
L. II. Grumann,
Grumam Aircraft Engrg. Co.
Beth Page, L. /. N. Y.
We believe that National De-
Tense is the fight against Fas-
cism abroad and the defense Of
democracy at home. We believe
that the 100000 Negro people
in the United States have the right
to fight Fascism and the right to
participate In democracy -econo-
mic as well as political. We be-
lieve they are in many places be-
ing denied both rights. Since yours
is an important defense industry,
we would like to know GAY how
many persons you employ, OBJ
how many Negroes you employ,
(C) what kind of jobs the Ne
groes have and Cd what is your
policy toward employment Of Ne
roes. This telegram and yous ans
wer will be published.
The Newspaper PM
The list of firms was indepen-
IDENTIFY selected as cross section
of major defense industries. A few
of them, we happen to know, will
hire no Negroes. Others, we be-
lieve-and hope-do not discrimi-
nate. Most of them we don't know
about-yet.
But we do know one thing: that
in vast areas of defense work, no
Negro, no matter how skilled and
no matter what the need for skill
ed workmen, can get job. AS Sid
ney Hillman, co-director of the
OPM, said in a letter to all hold
ers of defense contracts last April
IL:
I'm many localities, qualified
and available Negro workers are
either being restricted to unskilled
jobs, or barred from defense en-
ployment entirely. Because of this
situation, Negro workers of skills
and aptitudes are in many instanc-
es not being included in many of
the training programs for defense.

Il Am An American"
BY Ruth TAYLOR

| On May IL, by virtue of a proc
lamation of the President of the
United States, we celebrate "I Am
An American" Day.
To those young men and women
who for the first time take on
the full obligations of citizenship
in democracy it is a day of SOL
emn implication. For those ma
ture men and women who have
foresworn their allegiance to the
old, to give their full measure of
loyalty to our own democracy, it
is day of prayerful thanksgiving.
And for those of us who have long
been able to proudly proclaim T
Am An American" it is an oppor-
tunity for a rededication to the
ideals and principles upon which
this country was founded and
which through travail and trouble
it has tried to learn to express.
There are many scoffers who
say that our democracy is a mock
cry, because it is not complete,
because in spite of its high boasts
of life and liberty for all, it has
Disseminated in many instances
against groups of its citizenry, and
because it has not given equal op-
portunity to all. Certainly our de-
mocracy is not perfect, but a de-
mocracy, being composed of indiv-
iduals, is a living, growing thing,
and it has progressed and is still
progressing steadily. Despite any
defects, the American form of de-
mocracy still offers to everyone
a greater measure of freedom and
opportunity than any other coun-
try on earth.
But 81 Am An American" Day
is not day on which to discuss
what democracy has or has not
done for it's citizens. Democracy
is composed of it's citizens, and it
is up to them as individuals to live
up to the ideals of their country
and so to raise the standard of
the country as a whole.
When we say, IT Am An Amer
lean" we make it an individual
matter. It becomes an individual
right and an individual obligation.
And for the duties involved n such
a proclamation we can do no better
thing than to turn back for our
instructions to the Epistle of Paul
to the Romans, when he counselled
them:
/ "Abhor that which is evil;
cleave to that which is good. Be
kindly affectioned one to another
with brotherly love; in honor pre-
ferring one another :. rejoicing II
hope; patient in tribulation; con
tinuing instant in prayer; Be
of the same mind one toward ano
Their. Mind not high things, buf
: condescend to men of low estate
Be not wise in your own conceits
Recompense to no man evil fol
evil. Provide things honest in thu
sight of all men :. Be not over
come of evil but overcome evil will
good"
