sentative of the Negro Employ
ment and training branch of the
War Manpower Commission adj
dressed a regular meeting Of the
Labor Committee against discrim-
ination on August 4th at Build

Highly complimentary Of the
work and aims of the Labor Com

the government alone, cannot solve
the problem of discrimination
against minority peoples. But the
government can and will contri-
butte powerfully when organiza-
lions of the people themselves have
taken up the struggle on a mass
plane and created a base for ac-

sity of all people, both Negro and
white, to carry on the fight against
discrimination through their trade

CONTINUED from Page Two)
I disagree with you, inasmuch as
I saw Tuesday evenings perform
ance, and certainly do not recall
her singing any songs that per-
tanned to coon animals.
I call myself a true American,
I am white and was born in this
democratic country, believe in its
constitutional laws, and further
more, its aims to keep democracy
in this country. A big war is go
ing on, and America is in it, try
ing to preserve those ideals. Our
beloved white sons, brothers and
dads are out on the battle fields
doing just that. Along side of
them, fighting just as hard and
maybe harder, are a fine bunch
of Negroes, who also want to keep
that ideal. What are you doing be-
hind a big desk? I'll tell you. You
work for one of the best democra-
tic papers in the country, yet you
cannot adhere to their policies. If
you believe in democracy, why do
you belittle the efforts of an enter
tainer, who is trying to make peo-
pie forget peoples worries and
troubles? I speak of Mrs. Hines.
Her performance was grand, and
showed that she was of first class.
Her husband, Earl Hines, leads one
of the best bands in the country.
He is trying to do his part, just
like his wife. They are Negroes.
Don't you think they should re-
ceive some credit? Brickbats are
okay, but after all, they do have
their place.
So, Mr.. Critic, in this case you
ought to criticize yourself, for you
have certainly acted very undemo-
cratically. What you ought to do,
but you won't, is to extend to Mr..
Hines, both in person and publicly
in your column, a well-meaning
apology. I think so, don't you?
