Uncovering The Khan

IN THEIR RADIO broadcast from Washington D c., last
1 Sunday, Drew Pearson and Robert Allen nationally
known announced that FBI agents had dis
covered Khan influences work in the Sojourner Truth
housing controversy in Detroit This information coming
from these commentators who in such close touch with
vital national has the ring of authenticity
and TO doveta with certain local happenings in
connection with the project
We do know, for example that agents from the FEEDER
al Bureau of investigation making probe here. 1t is
also known that large fiery burned outside So
journer Truth project weeks also that the figure
of Negro burned in efgy in the neighborhood in
effort to terrfy and ntimidae Negroes.
Another suggestion of Khan activity in opposing Ne
gro occupancy of the project revealed by the fact that
certain white clergymen have been exceptionally Jealous
in writing letters fellow ministers seeking their support
in keeping Negroes out of the project This smacks Of
Khan technique cergymen of this type have played
stellar role Khan activities from the rebirth of the
Plantation Atlanta after the first World War up to the
present time.
II also be borne in mind that Khan influence is
making itself felt in many local Industrial plants where
defense orders being filed and the result is unfavor-
able Negro workers. Some of the these plants
distant from the Sojourner Truth homes for Negro de-
tense workers
Whatever the influence that is causing the stirring up
~ in opposing the occupancy of Soourner Truth homes
by Negroes. that influence should be eliminated 1t is
hurting the nation BY causing disuny among Americans
of different color. and this is giving comfort to
mon enemies.
The Naz and Japanese taking advantage of this
issue TO spread harmful propaganda all South Ameri
and the Far East where millions of the darker peoples
live. The Sojourner Truth controversy is longer local
issue Il is international in its repercussions.

Negro Youth And National Defense
BY EMMETT STUART

To-day, we are engaged In a war

American who is patriotic should
prepare for the defense OF his coun-
try. There Is no such thing as II
haven't anything TO do There are
opportunities for all who wish TO
do their part
America needs skilled labor.
When | say labor, mean the
majority of the people who are
bread winners. They do not wish to
be ruled by dictators or tyrants,
who hide behind the pretence OF
UNFOLDING their rights. Youth must
mobilize and make uee OF their
mental and physical power. At pre-
sent, we are being suppressed by
those who do not want to realize
that the passing OF the age OF SUI
perstition and darkness is slowly
becoming a reality.
This Is all the more reason for
the Negro TO fight for what the race
has dreamed OF for the past seven
ty-seven years--that is, voice in
public affairs, leaders who have
the good OF the people at heart.
and finally. equal rights.
So. Youth. LEI us cooperate and

What Is An Amerlcanl
An American is one who was
either born an American or Is a
naturalized citizen. But let US see
what an American should be IN
whether or not he is
just one who loves baseball. hot
dogs and other typical American
sports or products. A real Ameri-
can is something more than mem
Der OF certain race or religion. He
is one who is tolerent of the rights
Of others and who believes in the
Constitution Of the United States,
which guarantees to all Ameri-
can citizens the right 10 life
liberty and the pursuits OF happi-
ness. He believes in this Consti-
tuition which among other things
prohibits racial discrimination and
injustice on account OF color.
Under these circumstances could
any person he called true Ameri-
can who wilfully discriminates and
openly molests other citizens to the
extent that they are forced 10 use
physical strength to protect them
selves. Such intolerance on the part
c. any so-called American Is on-
posed to the spirit for which
Americanism and democracy stand
The Negro Is doing his very best
TO live in peace with his fellow
Americans, although many OF them
are unjust and intolerant toward
the race. Unless these bigots and
anti-Negro agitators are restrained
they will eventually undermine the
foundation of our Government
True American democracy must be
firmly established as light for the
rest OF the world 10 follow.
