Mr.. Cecil Newman, Editor: I
preached a sermon to my congre-
cation few weeks ago on the sub
ject of "Sins of Omission; since
that time I have had frequent con-
fessions of guilt and clearing of
consciences. This letter to you
comes under the aforementioned
category; for I know that I have
omitted sending this letter to you,
for some time.
You have been producing such
worth while newspaper so long
that have rather taken it for
granted; and though I have men,
toned my appreciation to you per-
sonally and through the medium of
my pulpit, 1 feel that I owe you,
to say the least, the time spent in
a document that you may keep in
your files, if you deem it expedient.
When person does something to
displease US, we cry out loud and
long; but when he continues to de-
serve our praise and gratitude, we,
too often, expect him to "read our
mind"
AS champion of our people in
Minnesota for social and economic
justice you stand in the first rank.
Scarcely week passes that you do
not sound the battle cry in a war
for righteous cause. There is
hardly any enterprise of merit that
does not find you giving of your
time and talent, ofttimes at the
cost of great physical energy and
expenditure of time needed in the
promotion of your business. This
unselfish service to humanity is
worthy of more than passing no
tice, and should be warmly praised.
Experience has taught me that
those for whom one does the most
are the least appreciative. But the
great majority must realize your
invaluable contribution to our prog
ress. When our enemies know that
we have a voice which will cry
out against their injustices, they
will not work their evil without
some caution.
The editorials are in the fore
most rank of both white and col
ored press. By and large, think
they are in class by themselves,
though how you can find time to
write such pertinent editorials, as
busy as you are, is beyond my COM
prehension. Your editorial of this
week on "The Daily Press Breeds
Racial Discord" is classic and ought
to be in the hands of every straight
thinking white citizen.
May you continue your fearless
and courageous fight for justice.
More power to you. Praying Gods
blessing upon you, I am,
Yours in His Name,
Carlyle F. Stewart.

Dear Sir:
Editor: I take occasion to con-
graduate you for the stand which
you took, both in the news and
editorially, in your issue of March
%, on the daily press distortions of
the cases involving the two st. Paul
young Negro men last week. Your
sane statements help to throw
some needed light on the case.
The press reporting was deiber-
ately designed to whip up racial
antagonists, to intimidate the Ne
gro community which has been
courageously expressing it's OPP
position to jim-crowism in the
armed forces and its determination
to struggle for its own democracy
before it consent to engage in
someone else's war. This case was
and is being used to put stumbling
blocks in the way of the advancing
unity of the white and colored la
boring people who are realizing
that only by their common struggle
will they be able to defend their
common interests. It puts STUN
bling blocks in the way of the Ne
gro youth who are determined to
join hands with their young white
brothers to win full citizenship for
both, to win peace, jobs and educa-
ton and security for both. The
daily press hopes to halt the grow
ing militancy of Negro labor, cause
them to retreat from the out
stretched hand of the great body
of organized workers; hopes to
cause white labor to withdraw its
outstretched hand.
But, Negro and white, the work
ing people have come to understand
the divide and rule policy. They
demand that this case be judged on
its merits. Class-conscious white
workers who have learned to prize
united action with their Negro fell
low-workers have talked to me
about their resentment of the at
tempts to whip up racial hatred and
distrust, and have commented to me
with qualification about the stand
which your paper took. am sure
that you will be glad to learn that
many who cherish the unbreakable
unity Of the working class Of what

Not Long Ago
By Morris Gibbs.

By Morris Gibbs, Sr.
We are gradually drifting
Towards war now,
Events point toward this direction,
Can't escape US somehow.
We have tried to prevent
Actual combat anywhere,
But the strain is enormous
Since the Nazi don't care.
If we enter this conflict
Well be better prepared
Than we were in seventeen,
When Germany first the world
dared.
Roosevelt knows the Army's mis-
takes
Our boys weren't ready before,
They sacrificed their lives "to save
democracy"
This doesn't want to happen any
more.
The President has keen foresight,
Knows that this nation won't
fight
Like it did before, unprepared,
So he proposed legislation to
make it right.
1t was a Democratic President be-
fore,
Who put US in the first World
War,
Ironical as it may seem
The Democrats are again going
to roar.

People of all ages need calcium
and few today get a sufficient

The best and the cheapest source
of calcium is in dairy products.
The lower the income for food,
the greater the need for more Of
dairy products is the regular every
