FREEDOM NOW
WILLKIE
This WAR MUST MEAN THE
END OF ONE PEOPLE OVER
ANOTHER PEOPLE,

Wendell Wilkie. Presid e n I
Roosevelt's world emissary and
Republican presidential candidate,
said in China, after a conversation
with Generalissimo Chang KAT
Shek, I'VE believe this war must
mean an end to the empire of ma
ions over other nations" people
over other people. and we must
say so no, now after the war"
Continuing, Willkie emphasized
that he expected TO dedicate the
rest of my life urging that the
world be constructed after the
war on basis where all men can
be free and with convictions of
their own choosing"
WILKES pointed out that the
oppressed and exploited people of
the world doubted in varying de-
grees the readiness of the leading
democracies of the world to stand
up and be counted upont for the
freedom of others after the war
is over. This doubt kills their en-
thusiastic participation on our
side.".
Negro Americans viewed with
hope this powerful declaration
from the lips of thrs Republican
champion of peoples rights, in
that his attitude toward the rights
of the Negro, as expressed in his
astoundinly liberal speech before
the NAACP's National Convention
at Los Angeles this year. proved
his sincerity in championing the
cause of oppressed people.
The peoples of India, Africa
and China, representing approxi-
mately three-fourths Of the peo-
pies of the worlo, need enthus-
iasm for our fight for democracy
"and conviction that the flags
they fight under are in bright,
clean colors," Mr.. Willkie stated.

Why We Are at War

Censorship or no censorship,
there is likely TO be less viewing
with alarm from many Americans
over the way the British are
treating the people of India than
We have been hearing recently
over the falling of Gandhi and
Nehru and the shocking massacre
of midas patriots.
Over in England white Ameri-
can officers and soldiers have be-
gun insulting colored American
soldiers and also endeavoring to
persuade the English to treat Ne
gro soldiers as inferior beings.
unworthy of the same kind Of
treatment given white American
soldiers.
This has aroused the English
masses, who evidently feel that
Negro Americans who have come
over there to fight and die in the
defense of the British Isles are
entitled to every consideration
given any white soldier who is
there for the same purpose. The
English have gone so far in pro-
test against the impudence Amer
leans display in trying to tell Eng
lishmen the kind of manners they
must show toward Negro soldiers,
as to voice their disgust in the
House of Commons.
Thus, more and more, 1t be-
comes evident that in order to get
united for the prosecution of the
present war, som ething more can
did than the -Four Freedoms"
and the Atlantic Charter should
be given as our reason for fight
ing.
1t would simplify things very
much, we think, Just to say we
are in this war trying to keep the
Japs from dumping us OFF,"

Virginia, and the inventor of a
mechanical d device that has
brought him considerable recogni-
ton.
Turner is a "scaler" at the
branch plant of the Carnegie Illi-
nois Steel Corporation at Charles
ton, $100,O0O,O00 concern engag-
ed in war production work. He is
in charge of a mechanical chisel
that removed scale from steel
plates. The machine is operated
by compressed air. Turner invent
ed and perfected an attachment
that cools the point of the chisel,
hence preserving its temper and
greatly lengthening its life. It re-
duces labor by half and doubles
production.
Sketches of the device were
sent to the main office of the
company at Pittsburgh w her e
they were drawn to scale, sent
back to the Charleston plant and
the machine perfected. Seven of
them are now in operation at the
plant.
Turner in his youth worked
whenever he could find anything
to do. Eventually he secured a po-
sition as bellman in a Charleston
hotel. 'It was there that learn
ed to get along with people," he
said But I felt 1 ought to be
making progress, so 1 quit and got
job washing cars for a garage
because l was interested in me-
chanical things. There 1 learned
all I could about automobile me-
chanics and resigned to take a
more responsible job with another
garage"
when this country got into
the war I felt 1 ought to be doing
something to help until they
wanted me in the army. got in
at the plant of the Carnegie Illi-
nois Steel Corporation and they
let me work my way up. They
helped me when they found out |
was trying"
Turner started at the plant as
common laborer, made friends
with foremen, then executives and
finally the plant superintendent.
The officials perfitted him to
work out his inventio. Now he
has a certificate of merit that he
says he wouldn't take any amount
of money for. 1t was issued to
him In recognition of initiative
and patriotism, for a meritorious
contribution to the war produc-
tion drive" 1t was the first award
of kind presented at the plant.
Since opportunity is opening
up for the Negro in war plants
there is no limit to how far he
can progress within the bounds OF
his initiative, perseverance and
common sense. Joe Turner has
proved that.

secretary of the Detroit Housing
Commission, announced that the
200-unit project, built at a cost
of $1,000, 900, would be kept un-
tenanted until instructions had
been received from Washington.
FLIP-FLOP HANDLING
The project was planned orig
inally by the Federal govern
ment for Negro occupancy. Later
this decision was changed, for
white occupancy, and still later
the housing authorities turned it
back to Negroes.
White families insist that Ne
gro occupancy would cause de-
probation in property values.
The area, in Northeastern De-
