| Those Americans who deny en-
| ployment to other Americans on
the grounds of difference in color,
| in religion, or in race are playing
our enemy's game. They are
stumbling blocks III the path OF
victory The democratic way calls
for safeguarding every mans right
to gainful employment in a job
of his own free choice, as well as
to shelter, clothing and the salts
faction of elementary human
needs. There should be no differ
entail in earnings based on race.
A mans income should correspond
to his contribution to the welfare
and culture Of society.
(6) The Right to Private Prop
crty.
az The Right to a Home and
Freedom Of Movement.
The ghetto, restricting racial
groups to tight island in sea of
surrounding humanity is the Hit
Ter way. 1t has no place in Ameri-
ca. It is the tool of the exp1oiters.
And those who practice this resi-
dental discrimination are enemies
of America.
(S) Freedom of Legislation.
Every adult citizen, no matter
what his color or race, should
have the right. TO pass OH those
who will pass the laws to govern
him. This Is the most fundamental
of all human rights. Taxation
without representation was abl1or-
rent to those who founded Ameri-
ca. 1t is no less SO to those upon
whom it is practiced in America
today.
90 The Rights and Duties Of a
Citizen.
(10) The Rights Of the Individ-
ual Within Nation.
The comments beneath these
ten points of human rights are the
writer's. Certainly no one who be-
lieves in America, who Swears al
legiance to the Constitution could
find himself at odds with this
declaration.
It embraces the very thing we
are fighting abroad to establish as
a universal principle. Why anyone
would object to black Americans
pressing for its establishment
here is difficult to understand. But
why those who contend with 50
much emphasis that they are our
best friends would wish us to
halt our second front fight is not
only puzzling, it is downright irri-.
tating. It puts strain on our in
depreciation OF the word. friend"

NEW YORK-(S N S)-Arother
false rumor concerning the well
fare of Negro soldiers has been
scotched by the War Department,
according to an announcement by
the national office of the NAACP.
Reports that trt.nSpol carrying
six thousand Negro soldiers had
been sunk off the coast of Australia
were widespread throughout the
midwest, and caused the Associa-
ton to ask the War Department If
there was any truth in the rumors
General George C. Marshall,
Army chief of staff, stated in re-
ply: 1.-THE story itself appears to be
quite without foundation as to the
facts; and l need hardly add that
the charge that some thousands of
soldiers were Intentionally and un-.
necessarily exposed to danger is
preposterous.

of the public to check every rtlmol
or story of this sort to find its

NEW YORK. SNS)-- "All of

man H. Davis, chairman of the

The NAACP had vigorously de-
manded to know if reports that
jim-croW recreation centers would
be set up in England were true.
The Red Cross stated that "the
Army itself has units composed
entirely of Negroes" and added
that for the convenience of these
units the Red Cross is establish

of this club will also be extended

The NAACP answered Davis
stating, in effect, that that was all
very well, but because of its ex-
perience it urged the Red Cross to
be on constant guard against any
semblance of discrimination.

we merely defeat our enemies on
the battlefield, and then lose the
theological struggle. Both are the
one and the same.
This was pointedly borne home
in the phamplet, Poland Fights, .
being distributed by the American
Friends of Polish Democracy. The
profound declaration OF human
rights written by group of Polish
writer's, artists and political lead
ers. living in exile, might well be
adopted by those of us who clear
ly see how closely connected is the
battle ON the home front with that
being waged abroad.
WOULD BE IN VAIN
The one thing, from all appear
ances "our best friends" fail to
see in demanding that we remain
silent is that if, after this war,
the life of man, any group of
men, is still ruled by the laws Of
force and violence, all of the
United Nations efforts, all their
peoples sacrifices and suffering
will have been in vain.
The ten points outlined by the
Polish group of exiles as the basic,
fundamental human rights. en-
brace in full the simple demands
being made by forwards thinking
Negro citizens in America.
They are:
ID The Right to Live. Equality
Before the Law.
The double standard of justice
has no place in q democracy; it
is q tool of our enemies. All men,
regardless of sex, race, color, ORR
gin, nationality, religion, or con-
victions, should be equal before
the law. Those who contend that
this exists in America today fool
no one but themselves.
(2) Freedom of Thought.
60 Personal Freedom.
al Universal Education.
The contention of black Ameri-
cans that they should be given
equal educational opportunity
though abhorrent to some Ameri-
cans, is here recognized as fun
daInental human right. Those who
set up an educational program
calling for the expenditure of $35
per pupil for one race and So for
another, flagra11tly violate that
right.

DANGER OF BEING KILLED
NEW YORK-(SNS)- The an
ti-poll tax amendment to the sol
dierS vote" bill which was passed
by 1920 vote in the u. S. Senate,
is now in danger of being killed
in the conference committee be-
tween members of the House and
the Senate, the NAACP stated this
week.
The NAACP last week urged all
senators to insist on passage of the
amendment, commended the 80
try11n hnI unfnd for the
measure, and telegraphed those
who had voted against it, IF
white and Negro soldiers and sail
ors are willing to risk their lives
in the service of their country
should the payment of poll tax
prevent them from exercising their
constitutional right to vote?"
The amendment, which is attach
ed to a bill to allow soldiers ano
sailos to cast absentee ballots in
primary and general elections, pro-
videS that service men would not
be required to pay a poll tax tC
vote in primaries. The measure
goes to the conference committee
of the House and the Senate foI
discussion and revision before it is
referred to the House for q vote
