Administration Lieutenants
pushing for approval of the bill
were encouraged by the SEN
ate's endorsement of a far
reaching Property Seizure mea-
sure after only one days debate.
After a tumultous session, the
Property Seizure measure was
approved on q voice vote late
yesterday just as il came from
the Senate Military Committee.
Still to be considered by the
House where the Military AZ
fairs Committee arranged to
take It up today. the bill would
permit the President to take
over in the interest of national
defense both military and naval
articles and the machinery,
tools and materials for their
manufacture.
EXHAUST OTHER MEANS
But no property could be
seized until the Chief Executive
had exhausted other means Of
obtaining il, and owners would
have to be paid fair compensa-
ton.
Free-for-all debate on the
Property bill began immediate
ly after Senate and House clerks
had read President Roosevelt's
message urging Congress to
acknowledge this national
emergency" and continue in
service the Army personnel now
scheduled to serve only one
year.
Declaring that danger to this
country was infinitely greater"
than when the draft law was
enacted . year ago. Mr.. Roose-
welt asked that the emergency
be recognized ~"either for a
specific period or until revoca-
ton by the Congress or the
President"
BROAD POWERS
A formal declaration Of emer-
gency by Congress would auto
matically empower the Presi-
dent to order selectees, guards
men and reservists to remain in
service indefinitely. Senate
leaders indicated, however, that
instead of a general emergency
resolution they would favor a
simple resolution stating that
the national interest was imper-
lied and specifically permitting
extension Of the service period.
In the House side, soon after
the Presidents message was re-
ceived, Chairman May (D-Ky)
Of the Military Committee in
troduced one resolution provid-
ins for retaining the men in
service and another to remove
the present selective service act

Roosevelt-limiting 70 100000
the number of selectees who
may be indicted In any one
year.
Several other methods to &C.
complish the purpose Of gaining
extended service were being
discussed In various congress.
sional quarters. These includ-
ed:
I. Direct amendment of the
Sclective Service act 70 permit
retention Of the one-year per-
sonnet.
2. Lesislation designed to
avoid compulsory extension but
offering selectees. guardsmen
and reeorvists volunteering for

each month beyond one year.
3. Legislation BY which Sc

1t is pity that Of mothers today are en-

Some say that the German war machine is ef-

of most of continental Europe

He was a perfect gentleman and he

EXPANDED ACTIVITY
DR.. Weaver cited a recent report
from the Michigan State Employ
ment Service to show that expand
ed activity on the part of the Bu-
reau of Employment Security
agencies was facilitating the inte-
grafton of Negroes into the de-
fense production. The report de-
clared:
1850 Negro placements
were made during the first quar-
ter of this year as compared with
$40 for the corresponding period
last year. Placements of Negroes
during this first quarter constitute
rs percent of total placements
while during that period last year
they constituted only percent of
all placements.
every week placements are be-
ing made Of Negroes in occupa-
tions in which we have never be-
fore been able to place them.
Screw machine operators, lathe
operators, electricians, gear hob

skilled foundry workers such as
bench, floor, and hand molders as
well as coremakers of all kinds.

ed In Muskegon, a foundry and
machine company is now placing

men would not only have been
just as efficient, just as brave.
just as loyal as the effeminate
twerps of the British army, but
they would have excelled in these
qualifications. But no. the treat
ment of nonwhite subjects by
Great Britain, caused her to re-
frain from training such an army
from her chattel slaves. Thus,
fear, bigotry and greed, Great
Britain, today, is fighting a rear
guard action instead of On often

Wl,ak and oppressed, today, is
cringing like rat caught in a
flour barrel, instead of giving blow
against common enemy. British

the fighting Australians, New
Zealanders and English To1nmies.
Nothing is said of the multitude
of Africans being fed to the ma
chimes of war, to save the coward
ly hides of the so-called invisibles.
In the theater of war just mention
ed, with the exception of the
Africans, there is not enough of
the others to whip a cat.
Of course, this must not be
published. With the proper fore
thought, less fear and cheap AFRO

should have had SO many black
and brown birds in the air, that
Germany and Italy would be un-
able to see the sun for weeks. If
the British should have, in time

millions of her non-white subjects
in the arts of modern war. there
would be no axis, as a military
power. In this, she (Great Britain

dependence upon them was theiR
source Of life and joy depart, to-
try their powers in a world OF
their own making. So breath-tak-
ing is life's modern tempo that
even messages are few and far
between. A day, then, in the
calendar when everybodys thought
is centered upon home apd
mother, makes possible an extra
occasion for one of those family
reunions which are like islands OF
freshest green in the great arid
wastes of our matter-of-factnesS.
Let us then on this Mothers
Day, along with the "candy and
spice and everything nice" which
the merchants have supplied irB
abundance for it's celebration, give
ourselves! Believe me, no gift
fashioned by the skill or artistic
genius of man will prove as ac-
ceptable. If a journey back to
mothers arm Is impracticable,
bridge the distance between you
on the infallible wings of love; be
there beside her in spirit: share
your heart with her in words, as
inadequate as they are; let her
feel your very presence nearer
than breathing, closer than hands
and feet" For, my children, moth
ing is yearned for by your mothers
today as much as they yearn for
you. They want to know that you
are strong to resist the blitzkrieg
Of evil and danger in a world gone
mad. They want to be assured that
the strength is as the strength of
ten because your heart are pure.
They want to feel that however big
and successful and powerful you
have become, you are still the
sweet, trustful, devoted, adoring
children they bid God-speed when
you left the homes protecting care.
They want to possess the great
est an most justifiable pride that
can come to a parents heart. the
knowledge that from their arms
has gone a child whose name
will be called blessed for his use
full and unselfish service to the
sons of men. Remember mother
today in any material way thar
may suit your fancy or your purse.

self worthy of her love and sacri-
flee.

elected Roosevelt last fall to TIDE
our country over one of its rough
est places.
Roosevelt has told us on more
than one occasions that the threas
to our national existence is the
most serious in our history. THE
signs of the times point to an
unparalleled crisis for mankind.
Our country is called upon or will
be within a short time to throw
overheard q national heritage OF
freedom and democracy and NJ
erty that only recently were pur-
chased with sweat and tears ana
blood. For on our fine heritage we
are asked to substitute a heartleSs

HITLER STOOGES
Our Quislings with their defeat
ism are preaching non-resistance
and ready acquiescence. Our Hit
Ter stooges are ''ready for the
question" of exchanging democ-
racy for Hitlerism with its racial
prosecutions and mass murders and
bloody purges and helliShneSS that
cannot be described. Lingburgh, our
hero and idol seems bent on max
ing the long and perilous leap
from fame to shame. He who was
standing upon the worlds topmost
pedestal of fame is about to crash
into the depths of shama. He is
surrounded with a group Of what
used to be hero-worshippers but
who are today merely "she-ro
worshippers:
One of the debacles of democracy
is when designing men can abuse
its larger privileges. There Is en-
tireIy too much anti-Americanis1n
parading today under the guise OF
democracy. If democracy means
giving comfort to the enemy then
I am for curtailing democracy. II
democracy means letting men hold
anti-American meetings designed
to thwart OUR defense programs
then I am ready to end that part
of democracy. Men like Wheeler
and Linbergh and John Lewis
have their rights under democracy:
but when those rights are calcu-
lated to destroy the morale Of our
nation, then it is time to call a
halt. A Quisling by any other
name is just as dangerous.

OUISLINGS

WHEN THE HORDES of Hitler
arrived in Norway they found
Quisling, a Nazi figurehead wait
ing to welcome them. 1t is useless
to try to describe the ignominy OF
q man who would turn his coun'
try over to a Hitler. No commen-
tary will write the full record OF
such treasons and traitors. Judas
sold his Master for 30 pieces OF
silver but these Quislings would
sell their native land for mess
Of Hitler's possage.
The most pressing problem OF
his country today is not its prob
lem but it's Quisling problem. For
many decades this country has
been welcoming immigrants from
Europe and most of these have de-
served the opportunity that they
found in this New World. But it
IS becoming more and more evident
hat these foreigners breed our
Ouislings which afflict us like the
>lagues of Egypt. There is no use

ling problem is getting serious.
