Trihe Vague :

AhaS '"SNS'
Still, most Of EN- realized that
the chat had been a trife vague in
spots. There were a few supple
mentary questions they wanted to
ask, to clarity 'emselves in their
own minds. President Roosevelt
was willing to be Intercepted. A
press conference was called. in his
White House oval study, for the
very afternoon following the chat
and proclamation-not above Is
hours following 'em, with news
kids still hollering the correspond
ents' versions Of 'em on the street
outside.
And DID F. D. DEBATE those ver-
sions?
One reportorial assumption had
been that he Immediately would
ask repeal, or at least radical mod
ihcation, of our neutrality law. He
said he isn't contemplating any
such thing at present" II was
supposed he'd call for conveys right
now. Conveys, ''in the old sense are
outmoded," he explained. The full
emergency doesn't signify any,
thing to the average citizen with
out executive orders relative to de-
tails. mo such orders are in pros
pect now" said the president. Are
radio stations to be governmentally
taken over, as rumored ? The White
House tenant said he'd heard Of no
such plan.
As we filed out OF the conference
room heard one Of the chaps re-
mark to another, Suppose you
write down that freside chat at 100
per cent. Underneath that you
write down this conference at 100,
and subtract. What's the answer ?"

What makes the correspondents
sore is the fact that they went out
on a limb to tell the world what
the presidents chat really meant,
but when II came to a showdown
he wouldn't verify EN-. And the
sequence Of events was so rapid
that their editors and readers
haven't had time to forget their
initial guessing. 1t makes EN- look

The generally accepted theory Is
that State Secretary Cordell Hull

Negroes For Defense
By Scottie Brown

If the Negro is to get ahead
there is no time like the present to
do so. This is the psychological
time for the Negro race to step
forth and demand their place in
the American Way of Life.
The far sighted Negroes of the
South and East had foreseen this
opportunity coming to them and
they are prepared. They demanded
that they have schools whereby
the youth could be trained and
their only fair demands were full
filled.
We in the West, because of too
much freedom, have Jagged behind,
Indifferent of the changing times.
We have played the fool too long
and now when the rainbow is in
sight, we have nothing to offer.
We do not have the proper educa-
ton and cannot force our way in
to National Defense. 1t is true
that many, many inexperienced
white men obtain work, but all
know, to do the same job the Ne
gro must have at least two or
three times the ability of the
white man. The white employer
pulls all kinds of "teck' to keep
from employing Negroes in any
capacity. Regardless of this we
prove to the world that we can
over these barriers and handicaps
to our rightful place.
Since the declaration by Presi-
denit Roosevelt, banning discrim-
ination in National Defense, Ne
groes have now a chance to work.
This proclamation issued by the
President comes only after years
of nard and untiring efforts on
the part of the Negro organiza-
tions. We must take full advan-
tage of this opening that has been
made.
The Progressive Colored Youths
is sponsoring survey to find out
just how many men and women
we have who can fill or wish jobs
in the National Defense Program.
Through this survey we will be
able to take before the employer
list of our skilled and semi-skill-
ed trades men and women.
The members of the P. c. Y. will
appreciate the cooperation of the
Negro community in making this
survey complete. We ask every
Negro man, woman and child who
has any experience in any kind of
trade to write the P. G. A. and a
members will be sent out to inter-
view the party. If these persons
have no experience in any particu-
lar line of work, but wish to en-
ter a certain trade, write to the
P. C. Y. in care of the Y. w. c. A..
! 1O2-21st Avenue North.
We cannot promise jobs but we
will do everything in our power to
open the doors of employment to
the Negroes of Seattle who want
work. This can be done only with
the help of every man, woman and
| child in Seattle, united in one big
effort to gain our end.

A Reaffirmation
BY Ruth Taylor

On this Fourth of July, the one
hundred and sixty-fifth anniver-
sary of the signing of the Declar-
alton of independence, it is fitting
that we pause and take stock of
what this cornerstone of our
American way of life really means.
The Declaration of Independence
was much more than a proclama-
ton emancipating the thirteen col
onies from the mother country. 1t
was the first statement of new
philosophy of freedom, and long
range program by which and
through which to establish gov
eminent of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people.
A hundred and fifty-five years
after the signing of the Mayflower
Compact by the band of weary
seekers after religious freedom,
the Declaration of Independence
declared for political freedom and
stated Governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the
governed" This they put into eff
feet in more of lesser degree-but
it took lightweight more years be-
fore the Emancipation Proclama-
ton ratified the claim, 1--WE hold
these truths to be self-evident;
that all men are created equal;
that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable
rights; that among these are life,
liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness"
Today seventy-seven years
years after the Emancipation Pro-
clamation, and one hundred and
sixty-five years after the Declara-
ton of independence, we are called
upon to take the last step-"In
support of this Declaration, with a
firm reliance on the protection of
Divine Providence, we mutually
pledge to each other our Lives, our
Fortunes and our Sacred Honour"
The price of freedom has always
been high. But it's price is never
too high, for those who have
known what enslavement meant.
We will be called upon to give up
much, in money, in time, and in
many of the things we have come
to look upon as essential. The toll
in patience, courage and long suf-
fering will be great-but the sac
rifices will be mutual sacrifices,
demanding from all for all. The
only real weapon against the reg
imentation and enslavement of to-
talitarianism is the solidarity of
unified action, when each indivi-
dual works as a free man for the
good of his fellow citizens.
The Declaration of Independence
has given us more than any other
country has ever possessed in the
way of freedom for all-and it will
continue to do so if, with a firm
reliance on the protection of Di-
vine Providence, we mutually
pledge our concerted action to pro-
tect and defend with every ounce
of power the democratic way of
life for which it stands.
