Religious And Racial Hatred

CONSIDERABLE criticism is being directed against a
certain noted American aviator for statement which
he is alleged to have made IN recent public address
charging that the Jews cooperating with the British
and Wall Street in trying push the United States into
war Whether the statement be true or false 1t tends to
stir up racial and religious luminosity against the Jews.
This is unfortunate particularly at this time During the
national crisis everything possible should be done
to cultvae unity and good will among the various racial
religious and social elements which TO make up our
American democracy Whatever tends to create friction
and division among Americans should be vigorously dis
Outraged, especially 10y those in high places.
The Jews a people have suffered much of late un-
der the iron rule of European dictatorS Il would not
therefor be surprising if Jews here and in Europe
would re the United States the against
the dictao but his does necessarily apply equally to
all Jews. any than il applies TO Americans of any 9TH
racial or religious group
one of nations greatest tasks in the present pro-
gran of national defense is discourage prejudice
discrimination and intolerance among It's citizons II is
an awful thing entire racial group be stgmatized
and condemned for the sins OF few individuals We col
ored Americans know what such prejudice means for
suffer many OF the uluStlces suffered by the Jews
The Jewish year is being celebrated. AS
minority group to another say to our Jewish fell
ow Americans may this Toe OF the happet years
in your history. Il is sincere hope that this year
may bring the oppressed Jews the freedom
and deverance from tyranny.

The Negro Press is often overlooked in another field

Hunting
Hazards

Inquiries are coming 10 the BE-
partment OF Health regarding the
situation Of infantile paralysis and
encephalitis in the Canadian North
west These requests are being re-
Ceived from those who wish 10 trav-
el or to hunt in Winnipeg, Mani
toba. A recent communication from
the Department OF Public Health
and Public Welfare in Winnipeg.
states that both infantile paralysis
and encephalitis in this province
are on the decline.
Dr. Joseph G.. Molner. deputy
commissioner OF health. states that
encephalitis is spread largely by
mosquitoes and that with the early
frosts which come in Winnipeg,
this means OF communicating the
disease will he eliminated.
Hunters are being warned. how
ever. that tularemia Is serious dis
case in some parts Of the country.
II is spread by infected rabbits.
Hunters are urged 10 wear rubber
gloves when dressing animals and
to carefully dispose OF the entrails
Of such animals. Cooking destroys
the organisms which cause tula-
remia and the cases found in De-
troit come from districts outside Of
the city where there are no regu-
lations regarding the sales OF rab-

They wonder too II she can hear

Ideas Are
Weapons

American workers know their
businesses. They have ideas about
how production can be speeded and
improved. Because they're inter-
ested in their work. they figure out
new inventions, tools, devices.
'Industrialists and shop managers
have discovered this in recent
months. An idea for improvement
in the mechanism OF a huge drop
forge was recently offered TO a
foreman In Philadelphia ship
building plant by a Negro worker.
The idea was successfully incor-
porsted into the machine. Now
plans are being considered TO APP
ply the same idea to machines in
scores OF other plants.
Twenty-three new ideas. offered
by employees OF Bell Aircraft Cor
poratlon. early this year, have been
accepted and applied.
At the Curtiss- Wright plant. a
worker invented a rivet maker that
swallows heavy wire from big
spools and spouts rivets Ikea ma
chine gun. Another workers in
yention revolutionized the making
OF wing beams. reducing production

Most OF their stun is on the level
OF the old-fashioned fake patent
medicine. and Negroes are paying
out millions OF dollars for the mis-.
information they receive. These
pseudo-psychologists are often
merely exploiting Negroes and fat
tening their pockets at the expense
OF the gullible. Furthermore. they
arc taking advantage OF what is
often an honest desire TO know
something about human nature.
The reader OF this article may be
a believer in, for example, astroI-
cgy from observation in spite of
the statements presented here. He
may have certain convictions
which he obtained from emotional
situations. and it may be difficult
for him to ignore his old neural
patterns and adopt new set. The
answer is that. II one believes in
pseudo-psychological methods and
wishes TO get the truth OF the sit
nation, he should consult psychol-
Ogists who are associated with q
college faculty and learn their
opinions. II Is important to stress
that psychologists OF the faculty
should be consulted and not mere
ly faculty members because some
college professors OF chemistry.
physics, economics. and other non
psychological subjects do believe
In pseudo psychological methods.
The academic psychologists will
tell you something like this: Psy-
chology has nothing TO DO with

A NON-PARTISAN
NEWSPAPER
WE THE NEGRO
By WILLIAM L. SHERRILL
ASSOCIATE EDITOR

We MUST take full advantage OF
our strategic political position and
use the political strength which Is
ours IN the coming election. This
election will be a sharply contest
ed one. The Negro vote may APP
near TO some TO be a negligible
factor. hut II Is NOT. Those who
neglect II will discover that they
have neglected something that Is
extremely important. The throwing
OF the weight OF the Negro vote for
or against candidate may spell
victory or defeat. Let us. therefore.
east our ballot with thought and
purpose. The man for whom you
vote for Mayor. councilman or any
other city office may In another
decade he Governor. senator or
president. This makes II impor-
tant that we select the right man.
The ballot Is very precious
thing. Negroes who have the privi-
lege Of voting must not underesti-
mate its power. The must not neg
lect TO use II. They must become
conscious Of the high value white
candidates place upon It. We must

come opp0sItions Is much greater
than II might be on account of his
own inertia. All things come 10
those who wait. hut most cf the
time they come too late. The
trouble with our people Is that they
are the victims OF their own
"waIts." They have the await Of

combined. After all. one Of the
biggest differences between the con-
ditlons Of men comes from the
amount Of waits or weights that

poses. II Is one of the Instructive

some people are so strong in
their beliefs that they feel that ey-
cryhody else is wrong and biased.
Like the old priest in DR. Cronin's
hook THE Keys to the Highway"
they believe that one must do this
or be damned" They have no faith
in others who do not serve as they.
On the other hand. there are
those who see religion as happy
go-lucky affair. What Is done Is
all right with them. They believe
in free religion" They perhaps
base their actions on their own do
ings.

THE CHURCH DOES GO
WITH PROGRESS

But the amusing thing about II
Is that the church does 20 on. The
doors open just the same. Many
have struggles. hut those struggles
don't matter. Sometimes the paint
peels off the walls. and the organ
goes "Blooey." But, they keep right
on just the same
kinds. Ministers come 10 their pull
pits at the same time every Sunday
morning. and through the week. Al
though many may preach COM
promising gospel, they preach
just the same.
