Mother. Why didn't you prepare
him. You thought he was too
young? Why?
The younger he finds out, the
harder he will be when he grows
up. You don't want him to be
hard? Why? If he hasn't made
a shell for himself how can he
guard against a repetition of to-
day? Could you watch that same
shamed hurt look in his eyes day
after day? You couldn't.
Well, what are you going to tell
him? Is that shame and defeat in
your eyes, too? Why? Oh, you
have tried to make it easier for

shed? How could baby's eyes
have that look of defeated shame?
Why did he have to be ashamed?
He's the only black child in his
class.
His mother sent him out into a
strange world unprepared and
alien, an outcast, but why?
His mother told him about love
and faith and taught him prayers
of love for everybody? Why
hadn't she told him that love is
all right and faith is fine, but you
didn't tell him that being a Negro
made any difference. You didn't
tell him he was Negro. He can
tell by your eyes that you knew.

No, mother, you accepted this
thing. You knew in the beginning
that you couldn't win. So gather
your little gingerbread boy close to
your heart. He understands that,
and promise him that you will fight
side by side with the millions of
Negro and white working people
of America who are struggling to
make a better world, a good world
in which all Gods children will live
in free and happy brotherhood.

The third big German offensive
on the eastern front was said by
Berlin to be pressing deep into the
Ukraine and to have thrust ad-
vance units forward to the Black
Sea coast at several unspecified
points. The Russians admittedly
were fighting strongly as their
main forces gave ground.
The Nazi thrust to the sea pre-
sumably was east of Odessa, the
big port which the Germans have
been trying to encircle and isolate
by plunging south of Kiev and down
the Bug.Dnieper river front.
If the gains claimed by the Ger
mans can be quickly consolidated
and followed up, the Russians
would be deprived of a huge por-
ton of the Ukraine bread basket,
probably as far east as the Dnieper
river bend" This would mean an

Moscow heard reports that the
Germans had been thrust back on

Germans claimed to have taken in
July. Intensive aerial operations
