COME WEEKS ago felt called upon TO write a Sc
ries OF articles entitled Forcing the Issue"
There came from New York letter from an unknown
writer, but who was seeking light after very
rious manner. He raised the question OF how the
Indians were organizing resistance to England in
this crisis and wanted TO know just why the Negro
should not do the thing. Here. he thought
the golden opportunity TO bring this nation to IT.
eelf by going on a slt-down strike until all
wrongs had been righted and all grievances
dressed.
Because the writer seemed more DESTROYS OF solv-
ing an intellectual problem than merely heckng
Between The Lines" took time out and wrote him
a long letter trying to clarity the principles invOlv
ed in forcing the issue The fact that attention is
being focused on Gandhi and his recent utterances
that threaten England's strangehod on India, we
feel It germane to our high mission to divert the
minds OF readers 10 the indian situation and jux
tapose the Negroes.
There certain fundamental differences between
the Indian and Negro situations which must be
sdered when we urge that Negroes follow the lead
that the Indians are taking. In the first place Ne
Rroes In this country are minority group. whereas
the Indians majority group. Force is possible
where there is majority. But where there is mi
nority. force has dangerous possibilities which few
minority groups in history have utilized.
II 4OO,000000 Indians were to rise up against
England 10 the death. England would tire of killing
millions and millions OF non-resistng folk The
And in the end by sheer numbers the Indians stand
the better chance of surviving II the few thousand
Englishmen In India were poor and restricted. they
would not have a ghost OF show in general up
rising. The point here is the technique and tactics
OF minority groups Is far different from those en-
ployed by majority groups Physical force has vast
possibilities in majority group but scarcely any in
a minority group.

4 MOVEMENT has been launched by influential white
n Souherners to organize so-called league for safe
guarding white supremacy, and the movement is aimed
against Negroes The sponsors of the project alarmed
the fact that under the Fair Employment Practice
law and similar New Deal for the protection and
social security of American workers. Negro workers
automatically given fair share of benefits along with
their white feowworker In the eyes of the ruling class
of white Souherner this trend toward industrial justice
too much racial equality and they feel that is
threat to white supremacy. This anti-Negro movement.
mind you is not being initiated by the poor whites whom
propagandists would have believe worst
mics, but by of the most prominent and influential
white politicians of the South. Some of the men whose
linked with the movement, include Governor
Frank Dixon. of Alabama Governor Eugene Tamadge of
Georgia; Attorney Horace Wilkinson, Birmingham, Ala
bama and many others
Governor Talmadge and Governor Dixon are quoted
in releases saying Outside interests nterfer
ing with the Souths policy of segregatng the Negro At
torney Wilkinson in recent address in Birmingham told
white Southerners that IF there Is room in the United
States for National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People there is also the need for organization
TO protect white supremacy and he further stated that
f white do to be dragged down the level
of Negroes. it is time for whites to organize against it,
white supremacy in country is threatened, it is
not threatened by Negroes but by the Germans and Jap
anese. They are the arch enemies against whom the
have organize Hitler has ideas of racial super
ority too but ms idea is that Of super race to conquer
and enave all other peoples Perhaps the Japanese have
somewhat similar dreams Of racial supremacy.
In the face Of these life or death issues it is difficult to
comprehend how any intelligent patriotic Americans can
ord to allow their personal racial vanity and color pref
dice toimperil our national security.
Negro labor in the South has been exploited and un-
lerpad for generations Now that the laws of Fair En-
ployment Practice gives them chance to improve their
dragged down Racial superiority is involved 1t an
issue Of social security and equality of opportunity.

(For AMP

The second reason why Negroes well might hest
tate before adopting the problem OF the indians re-
sides In the fact, that the Indians raciay homo
geneous whereas the Negroes are heterogeneous as
racial unit The great diversity OF color in the Negro
race makes II almost impossible TO unite the race on
any robust program OF racial redemption. The va
rous colors within the Negro race makes not much
difference In what Negroes think OF one another.
est OF miracles were II otherwise.
IL the 100000 Negroes OF the United States
were OF one blood and color II would be much easier
for us to advance cause against the dreadful
odds that confront We have in this regard a
problem that does not afflict the Indians. Much OF
the intra-racal Jealousy that serves too often as
milestone about the neck OF the race has its incep-
ton in the color diversity OF the Negro rsce. How
ever deplorabe, as fact. this may be. we must face
IL when urge that Negroes follow the Indians who
threaten England in one OF her critical hours.
There is third reason The Indians ind-
genous TO India In way the eNgro is not indigenous
TO America. Anthropology cannot think India without
the Indians but il think America without the Ne
the Indians indigenous. The world therefore
would bestow upon the Indians a sympathy II would
never accord the Negroes, If they went on sit-down
strike or Instituted a non-resistance program
means OF attaining their end
Because OF its millions and its unity Of blood and
color and its indigenous claims upon its people. the
RISK that Indians run in delivering their land to a
foreign conqueror is much less than that the Ne
groes wound run in a similar situation. The Indians
can oyerwhelm the invading Germans but Negroes
cannot overwhelm the Germans the sea mo-
their sympathizers here at home
The final reason cannot follow the lead OF the
Indians is we have Black Gandhi TO lead us. Our
Negro leaders too long on big talk and too short
on sacrifice. Where find Negro leader who
will miss even one square meal for his race? Where
can we find even one who prefers the lon cloth TO
broadcioth? Ye stall-fed leaders" answer mel!

Housing OF
Negro Workers
By REV. HORACE A. WHITE

THE HOUSING situation among
i Negro defense workers is de-
plorable. Much more deplorable
than the public realizes. AS re-
suit. families have been broken I'D.
The children have been scattered
among neighbors and relatives.
which brings about a very serious
problem OF juvenile delinquency.
Something must be done II We are
not to undermine the morale of our
people by the deplorable domestic
situation. On record with the De-
troit Housing commission are num-
erous instances OF people who are
living in one room-a family OF
three or four sleeping in one bed.
Numbers OF families have nut their
children out in the neighborhooc
scattered from one end OF the town
10 the other.
All OF these families are working
in our defense industries. This
whole situation is presenting one OF
the toughest moral problems the
Detroit community has had in a
long time. This condition is con-
tributing 10 juvenile delinquency
among Negro young people. and IN
creasing to an alarming rate. II
times OF war. juvenile delinquency
increases. when we face the situa
ton of breaking I'D families and
farming children out to other fam
lilies. we accentuate the problem.
There is little need for us 10 go
on talking about building democ-
racy for the world. except we can
have it work in terms of the lives
Of the people at home. As one tries
TO deal with these problems OF
housing. one is seemingly faced
with a fairly hopeless task. 1t Is
time for the general public TO be-
come aware OF this situation and
begin to demand in the name OF our
own safety and protection that
something be done about il.
Housing for our war workers
both black and white. Is necessary
now without any delay. II we expect
TO hold our society in tact. Our So
cial service agencies, our whole
housing program must begin TO co.
operate in order that people NAV
be housed with their families. Four
children and two adults sleeping
in one bed certainly makes for de-
struction OF the family unit. Some
thing must be done about II.
