Dear Sir:
Somehow I feel as though too
little has been said about the role
Of the Negro people in this war.
Our lading Negro newspapers for
some reason or other have evaded
the war issue. Yet it is true that
the Negro people want the United
states to win this war.
Even though we Ire engaged in
a war the Negro people, the larg-
est minority group within the coun
try, must carry on a struggle for
the right to work in the defense
industries. A group Of people
whose loyalty to the country has
never been questioned, whose
fighting ability ranks with the
best Of the American people, is
segregated into certain units. We
as Negro people must carry on our
fight to change these things, bat
we must never for one moment
forget that we are engaged in a
life and death struggle with The
enemy.
A question we SHOULD be asking
ourselves at this time is, what good
are these jobs we are winning now
going to do us if We should lose
this war?
We are facing the most critical
times in the history Of our coun-
try. We hear that this is a war to
preserve democracy, Yet we do not
have true democracy in Jul own
country. we must realize how
ever, that if we are ever to attain
real democracy in the United
States we must carry on a milit-
ant struggle and we must sacrifice
even our lives if need be.
But we must never for one in
slant lose sight of the fact that
we can only carry on this fight SO
long as we are a free people. And
to insure u remaining a free
people it is our major task at this
time to do everything in our pow
ed to help win this war.
Let us stop for one moment and
think just what our plight would
be should the forces of fascism
win this war.
Let us become conscious Of the
fact that all Of these forces with
in our country that are trying to
keep us out of defense jobs, that
are attempting to keep US from
the democratic rights guaranteed
us under the Constitution, are the
forces of fascism within the Unit
ed States.
So we as Negro people are con-
fronted with a fight on two fronts:
the main front being to help de-
feat our enemy abroad, our second
front being to fight our enemies
here at home.
If We are to carry our battles
to a successful conclusion, I say
LET'S ORGANIZE NOW
Yours very truly,
GEORGE T. EDWARDS.

D VOTES TO NOTIFY HIM HIS
STAND Is DIFFERENT
FROM THAT OF ASSOC
IATION' AFTER DEAN
REFUSES TO BACK DOWN
NEW YORK April % (ANP)-
After practically firing Dean VIII
liam Pickens, director Of branches
J now on leave to the U. 5. Treasury
department, for statements which
the NAACP board of directors
considered advocating segregation
the board at it's meeting Monday
voted merely to notify Pickens
that the article in question lis con-
trary to the repeated stands taken
by the association" Reading of a
prepared statement by the dean in
which he refused to back down
from his original stand preceded
the voting.
The statements which stirred up
the trouble Were Contained in a col
umn released early this year W
the Associated Negro Press under
the title Fort Huachua and the
99th Pursuit Squadron" in which
the dean declared that "the army
is planning to win the war in spite
of segregation or of those who or
pose Segregation, and praised
both the army post and the Goth
as efforts that will make a dent
in segregation" He also assert
ed that Segregation based on skin
color or eye color is damned non
sense Of Course"
Following publication in the
New York Amsterdam News, Wal
ter White, NAACP executive sec
rotary, wrote Pickens a letter tell
ing him that on Feb. 8 the board
stated it felt he could not be re-
appointed to the executive staff
and gave him permission to APP
pear at a future meeting and pres
ent his side of the case.
Because of Picken's prominence
nationally and the general realiz-
alton Of his contributions to tho
success Of the NAACP and racial
advancement in general, a storm
of protest arose when the boarI's
action became known. Letters
and kilograms Of protest poured

He certainly had learned the
Frenchified way.
But even after that grand vic
tory trouble still followed Jones.
Landais was relieved of Alliance
but he hung about the wharves
stirring up trouble. And the
great French officers were more
jealous than ever. But there
were more honors for Jones and
the ladies all after him. But
he wasn't happy. His crew were
in Brest trying to get their prize
money and all the French were
trying TO grab II for themselves.
Jones was fed up. He wanted
to go home.
Then one evening at a dinner
by the Russian ambassador Baron
Simolin they were talking of the
marvellous navy Catherine the
Great had, and Of the great Gem
eral Potemkin who was the EN-
press lover.
But while this was going on
there came into the grandroom
the one woman who could ever
make Jones forget Dorothea who
had married Patrick Henry.
