Of course, fatigue is the first sign

BY CHESTER MATHEWS

There are four distinct races,
white, black, brown and yellow.
As | See It there is only one that
can't be called colored. Through
ouo the south you will find in
transportation vehicles signs that
designate the places set aside for
the use Of colored passengers.
Some read "for colored passengers
only" whereas others advise us to
seat from the rear to the front.
These signs are in keeping with
the "Jim Grow" law. The eng
NAUTICAL part Of the subject at hand
is that the law is only enforced
upon one class of the three color
ed groups. We note examples
every day Of the complete accept
ance on an equal basis of certain
colored aliens. A very noxious
group at that too. 1t isn't that
we feel resentful Of the courtesi-
es accorded these other racial
groups its the irony of the fact
that even though | AM AN
AMERICAN | have to suffer the
embarrassment of receiving less
humane treatment than they. Is
i, that We are less acceptable be-
cause our forefathers had the mis-
fortune of being brought here as
slaves? TIE loyalty of those

Editors Speak:

But in our seeking We must make
clear that we are not bargaining.
We demand our due by the same,
token that we give our country
its due.
Some of us may not see that
America deserves our total support
in its war preparations just as
some prejudiced whites do not see
that we should have full partici-
patton in democracy. But the
thinkers of both races must not
let the unthinking plunge the
nation into unhappy division within,
especially since the need is for
complete understanding and CO.
operation. America fights for de-
mocracy, Democracy is the way
to rights and opportunities we
seek. Clearly we should do our
best for America.
But, argue the direct actionists
among us, America does not share
democracy with US, let's use this
moment to apply pressure. We
agree, provided our motive is clear
We can ask America to open up
to Negroes all rights and benefits
now, because Q) it is the law;
% sharing democracy with Ne
groes will inspire them and make
them able 10 do more in return;
go praeticing democracy here and
now will lift from whites the bur
den Of double standard Of public
conduct with the resulting in their
war effort; ca 100 percent demo-
cracy praeticed here across race
and religious lines will be con-
elusive proof to colored peoples
everywhere around the globe that
their interest lies with our side
and not with the enemy.
America offers it's Negro citi-
zens too much for them to remem-
Der only its shortcomings. No
where else in the world do colored
people live, work, vote, have free
speech like we have them here.
Nowhere else has the chief exc.
cutive asked equal employment
for colored workers. If complainers
say he does nothing when we are
rot employed, they overlook the
fact that he does nothing when
all concerned are white, because
both law and custom employers
choose their own employees.
Nowhere else than here would

time and again for fair play and
justice, and proved she meant il
by treating Negroes exactly as
she does everybody else. Nowhere
else are there an E. Stanley Jones

(By Chester A. Franklin, editor Of

We Negroes should be 100 per-
cent loyal to America in this war.
Sentiment, interest and reason
counsel that course. We, like the
rest of the world, are confused by
the catastrophe changes that have
come. But We can distinguish be
tween good and evil. we "know
