DISPLAY OF IGNORANCE
His argument that the concerted campaign by
the Negro press to obtain democracy in the Americas
rapidly growing forces to battle for democracy has
gone naught is a remarkable display of total ig
norance
For those who keep abreast of the times by read
ing Negro newspapers, it is not necessary to reclte
any of the progressive results of the campaign for
defense equality-in the army, in the navy, In job
and vocational educational opportunities.
True have but scratched the surface but con-
crete results have been obtained nevertheless The
appointments of Negro advisers in the Seectlve SerV
ice setup, to the War Department, the promotion OF
Col O. Davis to the brigadier- -generalship the set
ting up of Negro army air school, the proportlonate
calling up OF Negro draftees, the calling up OF ll9
Negro army reserve doctors and nurses but few
of this campaigns results
THE TARGETS AHEAD
The fight ahead must choose as its targets the
arrogant attitude of the navy toward black Anlerl"
cans the deliberate discrimination by big manutaC-
turers working on defense contracts against black
skilled workers. the decision of the War Department
not to use Negro doctors and nurses in the general
base hospitals being constructed and the refusal thus
far of the War Department to open training schools
for Negro officers. The achievement of any one OF
these detectives would be victory of no mean sig
nifcance but all must surely be won before America

fast losing faith in this way of life
The greatest victory we of the Negro press have
is the bringing around to the large num-
ber of liberal white newspapers, who have at last

there can be no democracy in a nation which .oro.
scribes discriminates and legisates against large
portion of the citizens of that nation.
Prime example of this is the great Richmond
Times-Dispatch which has come out flat-footedy on
the proposition that this discrimination against Ne
gro skilled workers is not only undemocratc, but I'M
patriotic we'll large number of other white Vir
ginia newspapers has fallen in line with this argu
A SHOT IN THE ARM
The Northern Virginia Daily adds this strong
shot in the to the cause so loudly espoused by
Negro editors:
"The Richmond Times Dispatch charged recent
ly that discrimination being practiced against
skilled Negro workers in defense industries and urg
ed that this policy be abandoned both in the interest
of national defense, which is now hampered by
shortage of skilled labor and also out of justice to
the Negro workers themselves Full national de-
fense it argued cannot be achieved long large
body of skilled workers is prevented by arbitrary
rulings and subtle prejudces from putting its capa-
bilitieS to maximum
I'VE think the Time-Dispatch's argument rests
a sound basis. ordinary common sense would
to dictate that make the fullest use OF Our
resources of skilled labor and where it is most
needed regardless of whether it is white black, blue
or brown
aside from the defense aspects of the large
scale exclusion of the Negro from the skilled traces
most thoughtful people realize that Negroes suffer
many injustices because of their historical bacK-
ground and minority status Vocationally they have
largely been denied access to the mechanical trades
This has forced them to be content with common Ia
Dor employment to aspire tc the professions thus
dividing the race into two widely separated groups
This has served to deprive Negroes of the stabzlng
influence of great middle class, whose sound Judg-
ment charts the course of racial progress.

Johnson told them.
National morale is a composite
of the condition of morale OF

to be healthy, each group must
have a sense of belonging to the
Nation, as a self-respecting basis
without any of the badges of diff
