Mr.. Randolph, besides being the
international president of the
union, Is also national director of
Of the Negro March on Washing
ton committeeman. Webster the
first International vice president, is
a member of the Fair Employment
Practice committee established I'M
der the executive order of Presi-
dent Roosevelt OF June Is barring
discrimination in national defense
employment. Mr.. Green, too, has
membership on this committee.
The resolutions are six In num-
Der and include an endorsement of
the FEP committee, anti-pcll tax
legislation, federal anti-lynch bill,
lease-lend aid to Ethiopia, support
of Great Britain, China, and Russia
against Hitler and Hitlerism, and
establishment of trade union
committee against discrimination
on account of race, color, religion
or national origin.
THE first and the rast are the
ones most likely to draw complaint.
Failure of the AFL to give II en-
dorsement to the FEP would In eff
feet nullify whatever usefulness
Mr.. Green might possess as a
member CT that committee. There
have been almost weekly meetings
Of the committee since its appoint
ment in early August. Mr.. Green Is
known to have attended very few
of these sessions. Many persons
have sought to put an interpreta-
ton upon the fact that when the
group posed for photographers at
its first meeting, Mr.. Green was
the only one who appeared to be
avoiding a full view of his face.
REMOVE KNOTTY PROBLEM
On the other hand, in the event
that the federation does adopt this
resolution 1t will remove what is
presently believed one of the knot
tier problems SO far encountered
by Lawrence Cramer, executive Sec
rotary for the committee, and that
is the question of what to do about
unions which refuse to enroll Ne
groes SO that they may be employ
ed in plants where the unions have
a closed shop. The QUESTIONABLE
sent out to affiliated unions last
month by President Green to ascer-
tain the attitude of the groups on
the race question may be indica-
tive of changed or modified view
point.
Proposal Of committee to act on
cases of discrimination may hit a
snag too. For 60 years the AFL has
faced the race question in one form

AT GRADUATION TIME

graduating class of some so high
school students will walk out of Key West
schools within the next few weeks, some of
them through with formal education for
ever, some of them having completed the
first phase of their education in prepare
ton for college,
No one can forecast what kind of lives
they will lead, nor can anyone forecast
what kind of country they will have to lead
their lives in.
6sa, They will be told frequently, as they
have been told in the past, that theirs is
homeless prospect. They will hear that
they have been saddled with an insuper-
able debt, that the world is crazy and no
place either for them or for the children
whom they eventually will wish to raise.
Since no one can look into the future,
the only answer would seem to be in look
irg back, and they, who have studied his
tory at least for the past half dozen years,
should remember it better than the older
men who cry calamity.
In the first place, without bothering to
look at the history, they will be able to find
jobs when they get out of school. For how
long, we don't know, but at least they will
be able to find them, and too many of their
graduating predecessors for the past de-
cade could not.
On the nostalgia theory that the world
used to be quiet, secure place, take look
at the record for the United States. and it
was quieter here than any place elset
From H75 to. 1882, after years ofriot-
ing between pro-British and anti-British
colonists, this country fought through the
Revolutionary war, incidentally driving 40
600 loyalists from their homes into British
possessions; in 1782-Shay's rebellion in
Massachusetts,; 1812-18i7-war with Eng
land; 1835-Texas war with Mexico, bust
ness panic; 1842-Dorr's rebellion in
Rhode Island; 1861-65-Civil War; 1869
Black Friday, financial panic; l873-panic
in New York, stock exchange closed;
1876-Custer's men wiped out, Indian
war; 1884-panic in New York, Marine
bank failed; Spanish-American
War; 1914-1918-W World War; 1927
Marines and war vessels to Nicaragua;
1929-stock market crash; 1933-epi-
demic of "bank holidays.
Many of those events don't look i'm
portant now. Remember, though, that they
looked important then, even as our troubles
do to us.
People have been making the best they
could of life for long time. They still can.

WRONG IN 1888; RIGHT IN 1s4l

Three years ago sixty-four per cent of
the people of the United States were of the
opinion that the entrance of this country
irto the World War in 1917 was a mistake.
according to a poll of public opinion by the
American Institute of Public Opinion.
In April. i941. similar poll showed
that only 30 per cent of those interviewed
believed that our entry into the last war was
a mistake.
What happened to change American
opinion? Nothing but the devastating
demonstration OF Naxi military efficiency
and the general realization of the rotten
ness Of the Nazi regina aud its activity.
