Most observers here, feel that the
position taken by the New York
Times is a distinct departure from
the run Of -the-mill attitude gen.
orally expressed by the white
press.
It's Importance, among other
things, is the fact that this great
newspaper is the representative
organ in the country, and for it TO
demand a place for the Negro on
the National Defense Program is
going a long way in forming the
popular mind regarding the race
and its place in American life. Al
ready. the Times itself has made
strides in this direction by the
occasional use of material written
by Negroes
However, the more alert indi-
viduals feel that the Times should
not only give lip-service to democ-
racy but with its great influence
lead the way by employing Ne
