What and Why National

By CARL A. HANSBERRY, Pres.

The National Negro Progress Association
is the sponsoring organization for the Ma
tionaI Negro Economic Foundation. 1t ha:
set out to do for Negro business what the
Rockefeller and the RosenwaId Foundation:
have done for Negro Literary Education.
The National Negro Progress Association
is engaged now in raising $1,000, DOC

constitute the actual directing agency for
the Negro's commercial and industrial de-
veIopment Every business man in the
United States can attest the urgent need
Of such organizations.
Negro business has been handicapped
for two main reasons: ~ Lack Of train
ing, experience and guidance, W lack OF
sympathetic financial institutions from
which Negro business men might seek
financial aid. For those two ills National
Negro Progress Association and National
Negro Economic Foundation seek to supply
the answer.
The organization is not endeaVoring to
cure all Of the ills suffered by the colored
people in America It is combining itself to
curing that condition that has rendered
large scale ownership and operation by
Negroes Of commercial and industrial en-
terprises practically impossible.
The Foundation seeks to reverse that
situation to the end that it will be quite
ordinary TO see the Negro owned and oP-

wiI|kie Says Race
Prejudice Going

LOS ANGELES, July 20 CUP) -
Wendell l.. Willkie said last night
that the war was reducing race
prejudice in the United States.
He told the 23rd annual meeting
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
that the defense of democracy made
some of its failures at home "glar-
ingly apparent.
We have practiced within our
boundaries something that amounts
to racial imperialism" Willkie said,
but I am glad to note that that
atmosphere is gradually changing.
We are learning that the test of a
people is their aim and not their
color. Even Hitler's high racial wall
has been preached by the recogni-
ton of a common purpose in those
honorary Aryans,' the japanese.

1000 Prisoners

last Tuesday, a communique an
nounced today.
Reinforced by a steady flow of
British and American tanks, the
Imperial forces had made further
gains on all three sectors of the
front and yesterday, impeded by
Sandstorms, they maintained all
their positions on the dominant
ridges of the northern and central
areas and in the southern dust bowl.
In one of the heaviest raids of
the campaign, fighter -bombers and
light -bombers, escorted by fighters,
fought their way through the swirl
ing dust clouds yesterday to raid an
enemy occupied airdrome west of
the battle line, to destroy or damage
many grounded planes and shoot
down five enemy planes which we're
about to land.
TANKS DESTROYED
Other planes scored direct hits on
six enemy tanks in a raid in the
southern area and started fires.
Heavy bombers, which may have
included American Army Air Corps
planes, made a daylight attack on
the Axis base at Tobruk, a commu-
nique of the middle eastern COM
mand and the Royal Air Force said.
One Allied plane was missing from
all operations.
In the north, the Australians have
consolidated newly won positions on
the Makhkhad ridge about four
and one-half miles from the coast
between Ell Alamein and the Hill
of Jesus, the Tel Ell Elsa.
INDIANS AoVANCE
In the center Indian troops hold
ing RuWeisat ridge, made a sudden
advance in aduSk attack, gained new
ground and held it against an enemy
counter attack supported by a few
tanks
The Germans have attacked the
RuWeiSat ridge, extending from east
to west about 10 miles south of E.
Alamein, repeatedly in the last few
days in their main counter blows
trying to gain a foothold at the
western end.
AT the extreme southern end OF
the line, where the front approaches
the Qattara salt bog depression
the Imperials made further progress
They were pressing the enemy
elements which for several days
had been withdrawing slowly tc
shorten the Axis line.
TOBRUK DAMAGED
Reports from pilots indicated
heavy damage had been done by
Allied planes. including American
Army Air C/s heavy bombers, tc
the enemy supply base at Tobruk
on the Libya coast.
AT least three enemy supply ships
have been hit in recent raids and
blazing oil from damaged tankers
started fires which spread over the
harbor. 1t was asserted that in a
raid Friday night Allied planes start
ed fires which appeared to merge
into one big chain Of flames and
big explosions Naval planes bombed
Matruh, on the Egyptian coast, and
started big fires including one in a
gasoline dump.
