NEW YORK-(S N S)-The war
aims acceptable to Negroes We're
outlined by Lester B. Granger,
Executive Secretary of the National
Urban League, in the July issue Of
SURVEY GRAPHIC. His statement
was part of symposium on war
aims which was welded together
and published in an article en-
tiled Answers For a Soldier
The sole ISSUE stated Granger,
sis, shall we have an opportunity
as free men and women to work
out our destiny, resolve misunder-
standing and hatredS, and help to
build a society based upon the
ideal of human comradeship?" To
his end, Negroes must give their
every effort to make such future
possible. It means helping to de-
feat the Axis powers as represent
ed in their armies afield and their
agents here in this country.
at means the service of Negroes
in all phase of war, even under
conditions difficult for self
respecting citizens to bear. The
challenge justifies our working with
curious combination of reaction
aries, imperialistS, communiStS-in
fact any one who wants to see
Nazism destroyed. 1t makes it pos
sible for us to enlist even in a Jim
Grow army or navy; it buoys us Up
under the treacherous attacks of
Negro-hating congressman, lynch
mobs in Sikeston, Alexandria or
Detroit, and anti-Negro employ

Mr.. Granger declared: "Colored
Americans are not interested i'll
'avenging Pearl Harbor' even
though some of our race lost their
lives in that disaster. We have no
desire to defend American prestige
in the Far East, for this prestige
has been based on the theory of
white supremacy that has debased
Americans at home and abroad and
nullified the Negro's citizenship in
many sections of this country. we
feel no burning urge to go 'all out
for victory that will simply per-
petuate the American way of life
as it has been maintained in our
lifetime. To us, the wars real aims
should include nCne of these OBJ
iectives but rather should call for
their elimination"

TurDentine and rOSin, called naval
stores, are strategic materials for
a naIion at war. Ir addition to
various vital military uses, they
are needed in the manufacture of
scores of items for civilian use
Among the mcst important are
paint, paper. linoleum, roofing
varnish, printing ink, shoe polish,
soap, synthetic camphor, adhesives
plastics. rharmaceuticals, matches
and perfumes.
CRIrPERS ALI. COLORED
Last year, according to the
Bureau of Agricultural Chemistry
and Engineering which issues sta
ii -tical reports on the state of the
industry, 285,0O0 barrels of gum
t,,rpentine and $4,000 barrels Of
gum rosin were produced. This year
The nation needs 100000 barrels
of gum turpentine and 100000
barrels of gum rosin, or a So par
cent increase.
Naval stores production for 1942
cot underway about February Is
when clippers hung cups and made
their first streak on southern pines
to start the flow of gum. The skill
full clippers, largely cOlcred, will
continue turpentining longleaf and
slash pines until November when
the harvesting season ends.
Negro labcrers are engaged il
every pha-e of the industry frcrl
harvesting and distilling to loading
ships at the principal ports for
exporting naval stores, and many
Negro lard owner; have tu1pentine
farms. Of these n few work their
farms themselves, while the others
lease theirs to large companies
However, with Farm Security Ad-
ministration making leans 70 small
produces to buy equipment, more
farmers are beginning to work
their own turpentine crops. In q
counties of southeastern Georgia
500 white and colored FSA borrow
ers expect an income of S180,000
from naval stores this year.
WORK EXTRA DAY
With the labor supply reduced
and production requirements up
more than so percent, both Negro
farmers and laborers in the tur-
pentine belt are girding them
selves to meet wartime needs.
Some laborers have asked thai
their allotment of faces" be ir
creased and they are now working
an extra day each week. To assist
in increasing the output of these
vital materials, the Department
has liberalized the naval stores

"Today in the midst Of and be-

that Joseph Few, president OF the
Sun company, in putting Negroes
into a separate unit, divides the war
into parts, and implies that the
Negro is unable to work harmonl-
ously with other people.
It was again stressed that when
time comes for a reduction in per-
sonnel, the jim-crow unit could
very easily be the first to go.
Finally, the NAACP stated, "The
Sun company, by its acts, is define
ating a pattern which is dangerous
to the American way Of life"

Col. Blimps, immortalized by the
cartoonist Low, who with unShaken
complacency, want to see the world
in the precise order it was, as one
would re-arrange a formal living

profiteers who want to get all four

The Sun company, located at
Chester, Pa, is hiring a large crew
of Negro workers in a shipyard
which will be separate from the
rest of the Sun enterprises.
The NAACP maintained that the

it sets up trade barriers beyond

national inquiry into the manner
in which public employment OF

cants since the U. S. Government
last December replaced state ed
ministration of these offices with
direct Federal management
through the U. S. Bureau OF En-
ployment Security.
In a letter addressed to John j.
Corson, Director of the Bureau,
Lester B. Granger, executive Sec
! retary of the National Urban
League. summarized reports Of in
adequate service presented by the
Leagues fo~ty-six affiliates IN
cities throughout the country.
Granger urged he Bureaus dlrec-
tor to tske prompt remedial steps.
NEGROES NOT SERVED
He declared. "I have no hesita-
ton in stating that as the OOES
is now being administered in
many states, it would be absolutely
impossible for Negroes to protect
their rights as workers in war in
dustry."
Recognizing Corsons own con-
Germ for correcting unwise policies
Granger urged that USES heads
meet representatives of the Lea
que and other interested organl-
zations to locate and adjust weak
nesses in the Service. The Urban
League executive referred to "the
dangers that face Negro workers
unless the Employment Service
takes effective steps. There is ur-
gent danger III many states, as the
wholesale recruitment of labo,
for industry and agriculture get
underway, that Negroes will be
! referred to agricultural work re-
gardless of their better preparation
for other types of production"
LIST DANGER POINTS
Other danger points listed in
cluded: unsatisfactory physical &C
commodations for Negro applicants
in some southern cities: refusal
by state directors in many states
North and South to appoint quail
fled Negro personnel to Service
statfs; handling discriminatory
orders in open violation of tbs
Presidents Executive Order; fail
ure of employment officials to in
form their staffs of the Executive
Order provisions, and ways by
which it should be carried out.
Since filing of the Urban League
memorandum, several steps have
been taken looking into the con-
dition reported therein. In 4
number of states, Service heads
have consulted with representatives
of Negro organizations to obtain al
evaluation of the Employment Ser
viceSs policies regarding Negro jot
applicants.
Such evaluations, the Nationa
Urban League points out, canno
be made properly unless Negro

representatives their experience

Loving Recently, 1 met a very
eligible man. He has a good job,
a good personality and is we'll re-
educated. The main fault I can
find is that he is a little stout. The
first date we had, 1 allowed him to
kiss me good night. He can't KISS.
I don't believe he has ever been
out with a girl before. II he would
learn to kiss and would reduce
little, 1 could go for him in a
big way. Do you think he Is
worth my efforts?
Ans: If it is a romantic lover
you want, no, he isn't worth
your efforts. His intentions are
honorable altho he doesn't
have the art of love making
that more experienced men
have. You may be sure of one
thing no grand passion" will
survive on an empty stomach.
Better base your love affair OF
something more substantial than
romantic, fancy and a DASH
ing romeo. If you can't accept
this man fUc what he is, the
way he looks, and his inability
to kiss divinely," best that you
waste no time on the fellow.
