THERE is A DIFFERENCE
w FACT AND FANCY

Too often writer's and speakers
who should make use of facts give
fancy primary with the result that
many are misled by them and commit
needless and costly errors as they pass
what they have received, on to others.
They write articles about things
and persons and publish them; with
out ever seeking the facts. Many tim
es they reject the truth after it is pre-
sented. They make a noise" and be-
lieve that they are contributing worth
while things to the community. They
dream great dreams, which have no
relation to reality and are impossible
of fulfillment on any national theory.
Perhaps, they will some day learn the
difference between fact and fancy.

"PEACE IN u TIME"

After Prime Minister Chamber
lain held his historic meeting with Ad-
olph Hitler about two years ago, he ex-
claimed, we have achieved PEACE
IN OUR TIME.
He little knew that his noble wish
and sublime sentiment would shortly
be pressed into dust by marching feet
and roaring tanks. Mr.. Chamberlain
lived long enough to witness the first
stages of the world holocost. Not long
afterward, he died, disillusioned and
broken hearted, because he could not
achieve "PEACE IN OUR TIME.
Maybe, members of the British
Empire and all other men and women
who love liberty and freedom, will
make Chamberlain's wish a reality.

United States Of America, we are sup
posed to have democracies; that is,
governments which exist by and thru
the consent of the governed. Sixty
percent Of the inhabitants Of the Brit
ish Empire are denied all electoral
participation in it's government; seven
ty-five percent of the population Of
China has no part in it, and in the Uni
ted States of America more than twen-
ty percent Of the population, by one de-
vice or another, cannot fully particip-
ate in government.
In our own land recently, we have
been reminded Of THE FOUR FREE
DOMS: "FREEDOM OF SPEECH and
EXPRESSION, FREEDOM OF WOR-
SHIP, FREEDOM FROM WANT and
FREEDOM FROM FEAR. There
might have been added to these THE
RIGHT TO WORK AND THE
CHANCE TO RISE, now denied to
Americans Of Color.
The tendency and development in
TIE United States toward National So
cialism, if continued, will destroy AL
personal liberty and make the realiz-
alton of the "Four Freedoms" for ever
impossible.
1t is important therefore, for all
Of us to re-examine this question in the
light of experience and practical states
manship and reality. We have the
means and the opportunity to prevent
the passing of individual liberty thru
the process of u representative dem
ocracy. Will we do it?

"HILL BILLY" TALMADGE OF GA.

"Hill Billy" Talmadge, governor
of Georgia, is now the object of the
wrath Of the students Of the Univers-
ity Of Georgia, who burned him in cf-
figy as a result Of the dismissal of
Dean Walter Cooking Of the Georgia
State Teachers College. All of which
indicates that education will in time
liquidate such political and social mon
strosities as Governor Talmadge.
Meanwhile, he gives aid and comfort to
Hitler of Germany whose conduct in
this respect is IN a par with his own.
Fortunately, every important
daily paper in Georgia has condemned
Talmadge. All of them express regret
that at this period of the history of
the State, such b-ackwardness as Tai
madge manifests could be possible.
Georgia was the first state in the coun-
try to establish a University; many Of
her sons in the early years Of the Re-
public rendered excellent service to the
nation. The humiliation, therefore Of
the enlightened elements Of Georgia,
may well be imagined.
Such are the fruits Of ignorance,
which + essential ~by-products of race
and color prejudice.

PRIORITIES FOR RETAILING

The National Association Of Food
Chains recently sent a letter to high
OPM officials which involves an issue
OF tremendous Importance to all kinds
OF retailers, independent as we'll as the
chain, and to the consumers of Amer
lea.
"The food industry faces a critic
al problem" the letter declares. "The
need for replacement, maintenance and
repair equipment an supplies is urgent
Difficulty and delays in obtaining
needed materials and supplies must be
overcome soon if a breakdown in the
orderly distribution Of food is to be
avoided.
Food distributors essentially OPP
crate on limited buying capital, buy

sary.

THE TOWARD
NATIONAL SOCIALISM

National Socialism during the
past twenty years has made it's great
est gains. 1t now is predominant in
Germany, Russia and Italy and is fast
becoming SO in the United States. In
the countries first named it is all pow
erful; it has suppressed all LIBERTY
OF PERSON, property, business and
press, and even Of religion as we know
it in America.
In Japan there exists an absolute
monarchy; in Germany, Russia and
Italy, absolutism through dictators;
and in the United States we have a
growing tendency toward GOVERN
MENT CONTROL of what was once a
SYSTEM OF FREE ENTERPRISE.
II the growth of government control of
business and labor continues at it's
present rate for three more years, Ma
tional Socialism will have gained the
ascendency yer democracy in the Uni
ted States. And we will have much in
common with Germany, Russia and
Italy and Japan. We will then have
but little to argue about, save the
spoils Of WAR.
It seems to us that these basic
facts explain quite clearly the wide
spread sentiment in the country a.
gainst our pretended opposition to
SOCIAL IDEOLOGIES in other lands
than ours.

ANNA LOUISE STRONG
(Author: "My Native Land")
" William Henry Huff for ANDY

(Author: "My Native Landry
(by William Henry Huff for AMP,
With fearless pen and fertile brain
She gave the world a mighty book;
my Native Land, hear me again,
Should be in every readers nook.
1t tells in graphic style, the truth
That which makes men and nations
free;
1t should be read by every youth
Who thinks in terms of liberty.

That book has stirred the ~slaver's

stores re: Refrigeration equipment,
electric lift trucks, small motors, cork
insulation, electric wiring, butcher pa
per, bags, scales, slicing machines. 1t
will be evident that equipment and
supplies of this nature are essential TO
orderly distribution.
The retail industry is fully awake
to the demands Of the defense program
and knows that strict ~priorities are n
avoidable if a gigantic military estab-
lishment is to be swiftly built. At the
same time, the welfare of 100000 DOC
American consumers demands that re-
tail merchandising, in all it's forms, be
given the supplies which are necessary
to efficient operation. Certainly, the
retailers needs can be met without
slowing or imperiling defense. This is
a problem of immediate moment. It
must be solved if a potentially serious
breakdown in the intricate retail dis
tribution system is to be avoided.

WHAT rs EDUCATION?
(by Ruth Taylor)

What is education? 1t is the e.
quipping with tools Of the eager mind.
The brain may be alert and active, but
it is education that gives it the abil-
ity to dig out the facts, separate the
wheat from the chaff, formulate a plan
and drive ahead and carry it through.
1t is education that shapes for living.
It is the driving power of the machine.
Education brings responsibility.
We can forgive ignorance, but not in
dolence, lack of knowledge, but not the
misuse Of training. One reason the
feeling against the Germans runs high
er than that against any other group is
because better was hoped from them.
Excuses that might have been offered
for backward countries could. not be
accepted from or for them.
We need to return to the lessons
taught in the old copy books. Honesty
is the best policy" Kind hearts are
more ~coronets." "a stitch in time saw
es nine" And SO on. In trying to
show consideration for the children Of
today, we have given them everything
except the basic knowledge that ev-
erything has to be earned, and that
you can't draft-dodge life.
The children of today must he
prepared for self-government. They
must be taught self-control, the habit
Of work and of calm judgement, so
that they will not be swayed by dem
agogues preaching prejudice, first in
the form Of an alibi for failure, and
second in a crusade of avaricious hat
red.
There has been much discussion
about the teachers in whose hands ed
ucation lies. Words have flown hot
and fast. Opposing groups have
shrieked red or "reactionary" at
each other. We want no fanatical tea
cheers for our young-either red or re
dictionary. We do want teachers who
teach youth not WHAT to think but
HOW to think. We want teachers who
can awaken the will to learn without
which we are automatons, fit fodder
for a dictator.
The best defense we can have in
these United States is a physically
strong, healthy minded, well educated,
intelligently coordinated ~citizenry. The
only way to achieve that end is by be-
ginning to train them when they are
children. We must educate for living.

THIS PUZZLES ME

10y LangStOn Hughes for AMP
They think we're simple children;
Watermelon in the sun,
Shooting dice and shouting,
Always having fun.
They think we're simple children,
Grown up never be-
But other simple children
Seem simpler than we
Other simple children
Play with bombs for toys,
Kill and slaughter every day,
Make a frightful noise,
Strew the world with misery,
Stain the earth with blood,
Stay and main each other
And evidently think it good
For when we dark-skinned children
Try to search for right and light
These other simple children
Think it isn't right
Unless it's white.
Talmadge down in Georgia,
Dies in Washington
Seems to feel that all we need
Is melon in the sun.
They think we're simple children
Simpler than they
But why they think it is a puzzle
When you see the world today.
Hannibal Of Carthage, one Of the
greatest Military Captains Of the past
was a Negro as we know them here in
America.

Tragedy OF Greece

One would, if one could, keep
silence with bowed and uncovered
head before the tragedy and valor
of Greece. There are no words
worthy of this little people, seven
million strong, living in rough
and arid land, who broke the arm
les of Italy and withstood for a
splendid moment the tanks, the
airplanes, the artillery and the
overwhelming numbers of Nazi
Germany.
Nor are words any longer i'm
portant. Britain sent the Greeks
planes, filters and, at the last, an
army as brave as her own. We
sent our best wishes and some few
dollars for the wounded and sick.
We cannot send them anything
that will save them now. The little
was, as it has been during nearly
two years of fatal war, too late.
The barbarians come again,
worthless for any trade but war,
incompetent in any act but de-
struction. They are unfit to even
tread the dust where Socrates,
Plato and Aristotle walked, where
Sophocles and Euripides exalted
the human soul, where Phidias
carved beauty into marble, where
Demosthenes cried out for free
dom, where men listened in Won
der to the surge and thunder of
the Odyssey" Nevertheless they
are there.
Self reproach cannot help us
now, any more than praise can
help or hurt the Greeks. AS we
were told at a strange public
meeting in this city we did not
begin this war. We did not want
it. We merely rejected, over long
and weary years, almost all re-
sponsibility for a new world or
ganization which might have pre-
vented it. We merely drew into
our shelters and spoke-as some
of us still speak-of isolation.
Isolation! There is isolation in
cemeteries and in dead cities, not
in this living, tortured world.

Comment two-What about the

Something to crab about . .
Last Tuesday the Veterans of
Foreign Wars girls drill team left

for Bellingham in what was re-
ferred to by some as a bus. Pack
ed in without breathing space,
they hardly looked like a group
starting off on a pleasant journey.
The "bus" resembled a chicken
coop on wheels with a motor stuck
on it. 1t was hardly the thing to
travel 135 miles in. 1t was hardly
the thing to travel five miles in.
Not only was it obviously uncom-
Portable, but it was over-crowded.
Any transportation vehicle over
crowded constitutes a danger, not
only to its occupants, but to other
motorists as we'll. It seems as
though as prominent an organiza-

more adequate means for trans

We must not blame God. Sad
but true, the majority of this ma
ton made the great mistake of
pinning their faith to this social
ed Democracy, and now we find
ourselves amidst a wilderness of
paganism. Many of us blame God,
but you must remember the pro-
mise to destroy all those who for
get God. Our creator hath not fail
ed us, it is man that has failed us.
The idol gods of gold and silver,
flesh and blood that man has
faithfully served all these years,

not save them. What is to be done
to make a trip to Calvary, and
kneeling beneath the blood stained
Cross, acknowledge our every sin

his life that we might live. Now to
you, the noble Youth of the Negro
Race, and to all the Youth of all
Races, your writer advises that
you put your trust in God. He
alone can win battles. Do not be
deceived, you cannot save Demo-
cracy, nor can Democracy save
you. Trust God only. Go forth in
the power of His might, and al
ways know that He, the master of
earth and skies, doeth all things
well.'Do your bit, whatever it may
be. 1t is our task to help our
Creator; To make this Earth what
He would have it be.
This is courage: to remain
Brave and patient under pain;
| Cool and calm and firm to stay
In the presence of dismay;
Not to finch when foes attack,
Even though you're beaten back;
Still to cling to what is right,
When the wrong possesses might.
