| ALONG The
RAJ L
By Homer C. Butler

Among the numerous other
questions evolving the "What's
Wrong" with my Race and my
self". Here are two Of them that
is really got me stumped plenty!
! Actually just how big are we
when large numbers within our
own group adhere to such idols. As
caste, wealth, and education be-
cause of the oppressive effective
ness each and every one of them
have on the same race of their
heritage no matter what the tint
Of the skin maybe, dress, wealth
or educational qualifications are. :.
I'VE just aren't to be accepted col
lectively by the dominant groups
in America, North or South. And
we may as we'll come from behind
the mulberry BUSH and be real
istic to accept the only course left
to us; That course is prideful unity
irrespective to what spasmodlc
spheres those few Of our group
unbecomingly retains.
Second question is: Why is it
in the face Of all our opposltions
in every direction we turn that we
can see faults and mend them!
There are small what is known
as independent groups Of Negroes
surprisingly in the lahrr movement
serving no other than eggs in the
progressive | a b movements
among Negroes. The same state
ment as have stated before is
true relative to churches, schools,
colleges and businesses where the
Negro is always the worker in the
American life's picture, yet the
most prone to internal dissension
all phases of his life. All Of us
are giving our all to America in
her war effort against the damn
able Axis nations, and we want
complete victory for America, our
home land. But there is still a
great victory to he won for Negro
man and womanhood rights, right
here at home, which in all reality
means double Victory is to be
won.
Half of the other which isn't
ever mentioned, only casually by
the white press Of America is to
be obtained by Negroes themselves
Too long have fe waited for mer-
cies from Heaven to suffice our
each and every need, without do
ing something about the whole
thing ourselves. Should the war
end tomorrow "God help all Ne
groes in such a delirium, certainly
with such small degrees of prest-
ige. finance or political strength.

pond in the ocean Blue.

Negro Soldiers in the very pro-
cess of induction being forced to
be fed by hand -outs in back alleys
as swine in slime are fed, while
their white comrades walk in, sit
comfortably at prepared tables and
dine sumptuously; as, the virtue
and honor Of Negro womanhood be
ing ruthlessly impugned by the
criminal rapings of white officers
Of the law in whom are entrusted
the equal protection of ALL citi-
zens.
The Negro citizen and soldier
therefore must fight together here
on and forever for the "Preserva-
ton of Democracy" But in the
preservation of Democracy our
o-called "Way Of Life" must for
ever end.

Yankee Doodle And The
Tightheads

IlSHtHtduS
Yankee Doodle took a terrible
beating at the hands of the tight
heads in the Senate the other day
when forty-one Senators, sparkled
by the Yankee batting poll takers
from the South, voted that the
majority will should not be exer-
cised to bring a measure to a vote
over the protests of a loud and
vicious minority. 1t is, one pre-
sumes, the opinion of the tight
heads in the Senate that great
victory for God and country has
been won. But if Grandma EN-
mas old saying is right, and | he
lieve it is, that "God don't love
ugly" then God is displeascd with
the victory" of the poll takers
and the country had best look to
it's institutions and the fix they
are in.
Senator Charles McNary o +
Oregon, the Republican leader and
vice presidential candidate two
years ago, after appearing to he
for passage of the anti--poll tax
measure for some while, is report
ed as saying it would be bad poll
tics for the Republicans to let this
measure pass and the Democrats
get credit for it, and so voted
against cloture which would have
brought the hill to vote. If this
is true, and it is reported as true
by the important press associa-
tions, it adds nothing to the stat
IRE of the Republican leaders and
shows McNary up as a crum OF
the first order.
But we were speaking of the
severe drubhing Yankee Doodle
took. What is downright shock
ing about the whole sorry bust
ness of the filibuster and the vote
against cloture is the insufferah)e,
cheek and gall of men and women
claiming to be the top representa-
tives of American representative
government while INDUCING in
one of the shabbiest attacks on the
principle Of representative demo-
cracy this generation has seen. e.
Where, Oh, where has the spirit of
Yankee Doodle fled? Is there no
decent regards for the spirit of
American democracy left in Wash
ington?
OF course, every decent Ameri-
can knows that Connally, Bilbo,
Doxey, Ellender and the other
clowns of the "white trash bloc
are VIGOROUSLY insincere political
pluguglies. But this knowledge
is just the precise reason why they
should not have been allowed to
get away with their insulting the
spirit of Yankee Doodle The
spectacle Of the anti-Negro, anti
democratic pinheads Of the South
and their misguided parliamentar-
ians of the North and West "mak-
ing with the motion" Of being re-

Use Of Wood Saves Steel.
BY using wood the Navy saves
thousands of tons of strategic steel
for the war effort and by pressure
treating the timbers with hre-proof-
ing chemicals it guards against the
hazard Of fires, incendiary bombing
or sabotage.
Recognizing the importance Of
fire-resistant lumber in the war
effort, the Government recently
outlined standards for fire-proofed
wood based on research by the For
est Products Laboratory, CONNER
cial wood-preserving concerns, and
lumber manufacturing companies.
THE best fire retardants," ac-
cording to F. w. Gottschalk, tech

industry, ARE those which prevent
fire by chemical reaction.

touched by flame, and the chemicals
