White Mans War
(The Crisis)


There seems to be some attempt
to fasten upon the American Ne
gro the responsibility for calling
the present struggle "a white
mans war" It won't work Not as
long as radio commentators con-
tinue to call Japanese yellow bel
lies" Not as long as Roy Howard
of the Scripps-Howard papers
writes from Honolulu: "and for
the entire white race of the Far
East" Not as long as a radio
speaker says, 1--WE shall see what
they (the Japanese) can do in a
white mans country (Australia)
against a white mans army"
Incidentally, the War depart
ment has announced that Amer
lean Negro troops already have
landed in Australia.
The typically provincial Amer
leans from Cross Roads, u. S. A,
may not as yet realize it, but the
most tragic turn his war could
take would be for it to become
known as a "white mans war"
The chief responsibility for sanity
rests upon whites, not upon Ne
groes.

ago Bethany foretold the marvels
of science and foretold how ca
pitalism would develop, not only
in Europe but in our own Amer
lea. He foretold the general use
of the radio and television many
years ago.
During his youth Bellamy be-
came so absorbed in the happen
ings of the future that he predic-
ted many things fifty Years ago
which are reaching their culmin-
ating point in these days. He pro
phecied that in the year 1000 the

Quoted for the benefit of the CT
tizenry as a whole rather than for
any certain individual group of
individuals.
Mr.. Bellamy predicted that our
present monetary system would be
abolished and that system of
barter and exchange would be
set up such as is INDUCED in by
Germany with certain other coun-
tries. We know that already this
custom does exist and there is
an exchange of manufactured pro-
ducts for food produce and cotton
for rubber along with various
other Commodities.

The Negro & The Navy
New York Timesl.

Secretary knox's announcement
that Negroes are henceforth to be
enlisted in naval and marine COM
bat units, ara that they may ex-
pect to be promoted according o
merit to noncommissioned ranks
is good as far as it goes. The I'M
happy undertone In the new policy
is its admission that the Navy has
heretofore made racial distinc-
tons, for which no warrant can
be found In the Constitution, the
statutes, or the democratic tradi-
lions of the United Staes. We all
know the practical reason given
for the previous, and to some ex-
tent still existing, discrimination.
This is that life on shipboard is
intimate and that friction between
while sailors and Negro sailors
might hurt discipline. It may be
a good reason and it may not. We
believe there are numerous Amer
lean seamen, of white and Of Ne
gro slave led the attack on British
ism would rise above prejudice.
There has never been in recent
years any good reason why some
units of the fleet should not be
manned and differed by colored
sailors. The Negro has come far
enough to furnish all the training
and experience necessary. He has
always had the fighting qualities.
A fugitive Negro slave led the at
tack on British soldiers that re-
suited in the Boston massacre. Ne
groes fought with distinction in the
Revolutionary War, the War Of
1872, the Civil War the Spanish
War and the First World War.
If this nation Is faithful to its
democratic principles they will
have the opportunity to fight in
this war by sea as by land and to
be ranked according to their worth
as individuals.
