with Vice President Wallace and
with his aides as the parade con-
tinued. Mr.. Wallace stood bare
headed, but the President kept his
tall hat on except when he bowed
in greeting.
There was a break in the ranks
after the last of the Governors
cars passed Then the Marine Band
could be heard playing a march,
In the forefront of the next division
came the massed colors. Next
marched the West Point cadets fol-
lowed by a battalion from the Naval
Academy, each marching with the
precision for which they are ia
nous. Eyes left was the order
as the units reached the reviewing
stand.
Band Stirs Admiration.
A detachment from the United
States Guard Academy marched
with rifles and fixed bayonets.
The Third Cavalry mounted band
stirred admiration from the stands
and received waved greeting from
the President. Next came a grim
looking detachment of the same
regiment riding with machine guns
strapped to their saddles.
A provisional battalion of the 18th
Infantry marched under full arms
with fixed bayonets and wearing
trench hats With this contingent
marched the first peacetime sAec-
tive service detachment even seen at
an inaugural The President watched
this group with obvious interest.
The President smiled broadly as
the Navy Band played Anchors
AWeigh,' one of his favorite Selec-
tions.
Gen. Marshall, after riding to the
dlsbandlng point, took his place in
the reviewing stand to the right of
the President. AS the military units
passed, the chief of staff pointed out
certain features to the President,
who followed every detachment with
obvious interest.
Feminine Contingent Greeted.
The first feminine contingent in
the parade from the National
Youth Administration drew an en-
thusiastic greeting from the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Roosevelt grinned and waved
his hat at the w. P. A. units, garbed
in working clothes. There was a
laugh from the spectators when an
overalled colored contingent took
off their hats and waved back at
the President. The President was
pleased
A group of C. C. C. boys also got
big hand from the crowd and a
friendly gesture from the Chief
Executive
The street fairly shook when a de-
tachment of medium tanks rumbled
by. The tanks travelled at a fast
clip and the President leaned for
ward to watch them. Grim heavier
tanks followed They wasted no
time, but rushed past the reviewing
stand as if bound for battle.
The President and Gen. Marshall
talked earnestly as more examples
of the Army's mechanical might
passed in review, including an anti
aircraft detachment, an armored in
fantry unit and a hoWitzer battery.
Several times the Vice President
leaned over and Joined in the con-
versation.

DEFENSE BOND QUIZ

@. | cannot find the word Ode
fense' anywhere on the Defense Saw
ings Stamps l have bought. Are they
merely Postal Savings Stamps, or does
my money invested in these stamps go
into the Defense Program?

ase these Stamps goes indefinitely into
the Defense program. The Stamps
bear the words America on Guard"
which indicates that they are an int
grad part Of the Defense Program.

pose in putting Defense Savings

JOHN L. LEWIS

The blitzkreig against John /.
Lewis, growing out Of the strike Of
coal miners in the Captive mines,
reached an all-time ferocity. The news
papers ignored the fact that the ques-
ton involved was primarily, in prime
iple, the right to strike. Because this
was involved John L. Lewis, tenacious
~ held his course.
And John L. Lewis, the friend of
all workers, black as well as white,
viii win through in this instance as he
has done in so many others for all the
sons of toll.
One fact cannot be refuted: John
L. Lewis is the unfaltering friend Of
Negroes. And we wonder if that fact
has not had something to do with the
vicious attacks made upon him by the
Metropolitan dailies of the country.
Ninety percent of the Negro wor-
kers in the commonly accepted use Of
that term, and one hundred percent Of
them are hoping that only good may
come to John L.. Lewis whose religion
is HUMANITY and love of it, his
HIGH PRIEST.

HALLOWEEN

The festival of fun which bears
the name Of Halloween, annually
brings out four or five hundred young
sters of the Negro Community, who
parade UP and down North 24th Street
and demonstrate how noisy and harm
lessly gay they can be for a few hours
on such an evening.
Last Friday the elements inter
fered and the FUN FROLIC" was
transferred in doors where the merry
makers held their shows.
We know many white men and
women who come out this way to see
the show" on Halloween were disap-
pointed.
Come out next year, unless Hit
Ter forbids it. The war may be over by
that time, and a rip roaring jamboree
may be in order.
Remember, the mask Of fun you
see, hides many tragedies.

THE MODERNIZATION PLAN

The Douglas County Commiss-
toner's are WreSJlng WIN the So-called
mOaernlZatl0n plan OF bookkeeping eS-
peclally III relation to tax records. The
plan, IL seems does not nav legal auth
orlzaUlOn, but is desired by a large ele-
ment OF the larger tax payers, the Tax
Payers League, some OF Umana'S news
papers m oUher important interests.
During the last session of the Ne
braska legislature, an effort was made
to enact a law legalizing the modern
ization plan. The law was not passed.
The people of Douglas county have not
expressed themselves on the matter at
the ballot box.
The Treasurer of Douglas county
insists he is following the law; that the
modernization plan, if followed by him
would ~jeopardize his bondsmen and his
own liberty. The County Clerk and
the County Assessor take a similar
view.
Meanwhile, some of our newspa-
pers are demanding that the modern
ization plan be revived. And like a
ringmaster in a circus, it has the offic-
ials performing, except Otto Bauman,
who insists he intends to follow the law
that if the law is bad and stands in
the way Of human progress or the con-
v%enience of large property owners, it
should be repealed and an acceptable
law enacted. But as long as the law is
as it is, he must follow it.
Friday last the County Board
called in Mr.. Paul Garrotto, Chief Dep
uty County Attorney, and he advised
the board that he thought the modern
ization plan should be tried out with
in the law, with the cooperation Of
the county officials affected by the
plan, namely, the Treasurer, Assessor
and County Clerk.
Many persons in Douglas County
suspect that this modernization plan is
a prelude to the county Manager Plan,
and that that PLAN will take the gov
eminent out of the hands of the peo-
pie. This opinion is widely held and it
based upon observation of the work
ings of such plans elsewhere.
The common people are feeling
very deeply now that if they count as
cannon fodder, they should count as
citizens.

SABOTEURS PREFERRED
TO NEGROES

Admidst the hue and cry for Ma
tional United and an about effort for
defense, the monster of COLOR PRE-
JUDGE bulks large upon the scene.
A recent story from Baltimore, Nd,
describes the exploits Of the FBI. in
tracking down and arresting a young
mar of German descent whose special
ty wa sabotaging parts of bombing
planes in the Martin Bomber plant at
Baltimore. When arrested, the young
man explained that he was gripping
the planes because he did not want
them used to injure the German peo-
pie. In other words, the young man
was pro-German. When he was en-
ployed at the plant no questions were
asked: he was "white" and, therefore,
preferred to non-white Americans.
While the young pro-Nazi and
many like him were being employed,
Negroes, about whose loyalty to Amer
ica there could be no doubt, stood at
the gates Of the Martin Bomber plant,
begging for a chance to work. But the
management said no! Better a Nazi
bent on sabotage, than a loyal black
workman.
The incident at the Martin Bomb
er plant in Baltimore, is but one of hun
dreds throughout the land where trait
ors and wreckers are preferred to skill
ed black workers. Thus, it would seem
a majority Of the whites in America
would rather hand the country over to
Hitler than give the Negro a chance to
work.
All this, and we are not engaged
in a shooting war;. What will hap
pen when that time comes; when our
soldiers will be on the high seas and be-
yond them, needing vitality the prod
ucts of Jul factories. The precent
trickle of sabotage will then become a
deluge, and the leaders in government
and industry who have placed color
prejudice above NATIONAL SECUR-
ITY will rue the ruins of their folly.
The Negroes themselves must be
awake to this danger to their country,
because their interests and security
are identical with those Of the MA
TION. And, therefore, the men and
women who oppose including the Neg
roes in our about effort are the enem-
les of their country of civilization and
mankind.
They shout stop Hitler while they
employ Hitler agents in defense indus
tries whose duty it is to make such vic
tory impossible.

DREAMERS
(by Ruth TaylOr)

The present decade may be an
age of realism, and the time may call
for realistic thinking, as some men say.
But too often realism has meant stooo-
ing to the mire, reflecting only the ugly
rather than reaching upwards toward
the beauty of the stars. Realism has
it's value-but the great things Of life
have been done by the dreamers- by
those who looked ahead and then made
their dreams come true.
Thoreau once said: IF you have
built castles in the air, your work need
not be lost: that is where they should
be. Now put foundations under them"
This is the task confronting the
practical dreamers of today. They do
not deny the evil and ugliness abroad
in the world. They do, however, look
through and beyond and build, even if
only in visions, the world as it should
be-a place where all groups and indiv-
iduals can and will recognize each 9TH
er's rights as they recognize their own
obligations, where all peoples, regard
less Of race or creed or color, can work
together in a spirit Of cooperation, and
live together in mutual trust, friend
ship and brotherhood.
The dream of a world such as
this must be fulfilled. Firm foundat-
ions must be built for it, if the world is
to emerge from the chaos which now
envelopes it. We must begin to dream
now and to build now, for foundations
are not built all at once, but stone by
stone, slowly and l%aboriously. There
must be no defective material used,
nothing that will not stand the strain
and stress Of the winters gales.
The foundation must be absolute JUS
tice toward allEnot justice according
to mans deserts, but justice which af-
fords to every living soul the opport-
unity to build his life without fear, and
with freedom from want, to worship in
his own way, and to hold his head up
as a free man.
Such a task will require the self
less devotion on the part of all those
who honestly desire a permanent peace
based on international understanding.
In our common reliance on one another
in a time crisis, we r linked together
as never before. Not only is there a
national unity developing steadily,
but there is a unity of thought and pur-
pose among those whose interests in
flude the future as well as the present.
Now is the time for all dreamers to get
together and work to put a firm found
alton under their dreams for a better
world for all mankind.

MARSHAL JOSEPH JOFFRE.
~ who commanded the French
army from the outbreak OF the
war IN 1914 until 1917. was oriti-
ciIed IN many quarters after the
war for MS senerslShip and tar
tics. He was called "ths inpos-
ing rdifee behind which other
brains connived" and the man
who nearly brought France 70
ruin"
Jorre, who was honored phils-
telicaIly in the 1870 stamp above,
made no effort 10 defend himself.
He wrote q two-volunne book Of
memoirs but refused 10 permit
publication until his death.
When he died in 1881. the book
was released. Joffre critics were
silenced in large measure. for Il
was found that the marshal oper-
ated under tremendous hsndicspS.
The french army in 1914 was
still suffering from risor-mortis
caused by the disastrous war Of
1870. STAFF work was Noticeable
and the calculations OF the war
plans division proved poor.
Joffrs. who was e. AZ the out
break Of the war, IS best known
for his miraculous stand ~ the

advance and ssved Paris.
