SHIFT OF FARMERS TO
BETTER SOIL is SOLUTION
WARTIME FARM LABOR

AS a possible solution to the pro-
blems of wartime farm labor and ru-
raj slums, Secretary Claude r. Vic
kard suggested in an address last
week before the National Catholic
Rural Life Conference at Peoria Ill.
that farm labor families, white and
colored olike be helped to move from
marginal soil to land that can be
worked more productinvely
Pointing out that fuller employment
of farm families whose small, un-
productive acreage does not give them
enough work to do is wartime ne
cessity, the Secretary said that NOV
ing to better land holds more promise

PREPARING FOR AFTER WAR
LAY-OFFS

How unemployment insurance ben
efits will help in the event of severe
unemployment at the close of the war
is pointed out by Milton o. Loysen
of the New York State Department of
Labor, in commenting on recent heavy
benefit payments made to unemployed
workers in New York City.
The New York City payments have
been made to over 100000 persons
forced out of jobs by war priority and
curtailment orders. The payments
have been a substantial help to con-
sumner purchasing and in maintaining
living standards in the difficult days
of transition from civilian to all-out

victory on this home front:
ID The Army should offer negro
soldiers better protection and more
respect, and should train more negro
officers. (2) The Navy should make
the enlistment of negroes a perma-
nent policy. (3) The government
should end discrimination in the ap-
pointment of federal employees, and
the powers of the Fair Employment
Practice Committee should be revised
and enlarged (4) Private employers,
after suitable preparation with their
present personnel, should make an eff
fort to fill their wartime vacancies
with qualified negro workers. 90 La
Dor unions should clean their own
house on the color question and not
wait for the government to straighten
out their affairs. CO. Workers should
see that their labor unions do not dis
criminate against negroes, and should
back up the employer when he seeks
to give negroes a fair deal. And CD
citizens should try to see that negroes
in their community have equal oppor-
tunities with white citizens. They
should also support the organizations
that are working on these problems
in the community.

war production.
With the experience of New York
in mind, Mr.. Loysen emphasized the
value of putting aside money now for
the payment of unemployment insur-
ance benefits later.
''The protection unemployment in
surance affords our entire economic
structure justifies the continued accu-
mutation of reserves during our war
effort" said Loysen. "Our unemploy-
ment insurance fund now totals more
than $350,000,000 and is prepared to
meet practically any emergency. After
the war is won, every community in
the state will certainly feel the shock
of reconversion to civilian production.
We must forestall the disastrous eco
nomic consequences of future mass
lay-offs. Now is the time to prepare
for those lay-offs.
Employers contributions to the
unemployment insurance fund are an
investment in economic and social sta
bility," concluded Mr. Loysen. "Under
the circumstances, employers should
consider their payments in the light
of patriotic duty; delinquent employ
ers are certainly not in step with the
rest of the nation. Fortunately, most
of our employers are cooperating 100
per cent"
Mr.. Loysen was speaking particu-
larly of New York state but his words
apply to every state having an unem-
ployment compensation system - and
that means all of the 48.

POLL TAX SABOTAGES
DEMOCRACY

America is four-fifths of the freest
country in the world. The other fifth
comprises the poll tax states of Ala
bama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas ano
Virginia In these states, for ten mil
lion voteless second-class citizens, rep
resentative government does not exist
and democratic rights are a mockery
Because Of that unfree fifth of the
nation, our fight for the four free
doms throughout the world is COM
promised and sabotaged.
The poll tax varies in different
states from a dollar to two dollars a
year. A dollar is not much if you've
got it. But the average sharecropper
hasn't got it. Moreover, in some states
the tax is cumulative. In Alabama, if
you are Al and haven't paid the poll
tax since you were 21, you must pay
$50 before you can vote That, for
many thousands, is like reaching for
the moon
Adopted originally and openly to
keep negroes from voting, today the
poll tax robs many more whites than
negroes of this basic right of citizen
ship. The poll tax is made to order
for machine vote buying. The "best
people" control local and state gov
ernments, block labor organization
and send to Congress men like How
ard w. Smith of Virginia where only
one-ffth of the adults can afford to
vote

A.F.L. HEAD URGES
ADDED EFFORT in
WAR PRODUCTION

Michigan City, Ind. (ILNS).-ln a
stirring address to the twenty-thlrd
convention of the United Garment
Workers of America, President Will
liam Green of the American Fedora
tion of Labor urged intensified efforts
by the workers of all allied nations to
keep a steady flow of materials and
munitions to the front lines. Four hum
dred delegates to the convention
cheered his speech.
GAS soldiers of production we must
not fail the men in the front lines,
Green said. "They must have the guns,
tanks and other materials to do their
Job, and we must assure them a steady
stream"
In one part of his address, Green
indicated that there was still wide
gulf between the A. F. of L. and CIO
and that recent efforts to bring peace
between them had not made much
progress.
Rebels Must Admit Error
In connection with the labor split
and peace prospects, he said:
"In 1885 there were those who de.
cided to start rebel rival movement
They worked upon class consciousness
and dissatisfaction and discarded the
principles of the A. F. of l.. We car
never forgive them until they admit
the error of their way and come bach
into the great house of labor.

And they have continued to travei IN

from the first that time would only
add to the breach. We have found we
cannot find the answer to the dlfhcui-
ties quickly and will be lucky if we
can ever do it.
"However. we should, as American
workers, do everything in our power
to bring about solidarity in labor, for
we can do more as one great organ
ization than we can if 100000 work
ers are divided"
Green ended by saying that the A.

tDACE equality has become war

hope of victory may turn upon it,
write Earl Brown and George r.
Leighton in newly issued Public At
fairs Committee pamphlet, "The Ne
gro and the War"
Propaganda from enemy sources
brings forcibly to mind the fact that
the negro is an American citizen but
that he has fewer rights than the
white citizen - that the negro is
drafted for army service, but is not
adequately protected when he seeks
recreation on his leaves and furloughs
- that the negro is urged to back the
fight to beat Hitler, yet is shut out
of many jobs in government and in
war industries.
A broadcast by the. japanese
through the Far East last January is
an example of enemy propaganda
based on the treatment of the negro
in America. In an endeavor to arouse
hostile feeling among the colored peo-
Piles of the Far East, the broadcast
spread the news of the brutal moi
murder in Sikeston, Mo-, of a negro
named Cleo Wright.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Some things are being done, the au-
thors of ''The Negro and the War"
point out The negroes won their right
to move into the Sojourner Truth
housing project in Detroit. G-men are
investigating lynchings. Negro troops
have better food, clothing, and sleep
ing quarters than in World War l.
Illiterate negro draftees from the
South are getting their first chance
to learn to read and write. A mixed
officers training school is being con-
Quoted successfully at Fort Benning
in Georgia. Many industrial plants
operate successfully in war production
with no discrimination.
But discrimination and prejudice
are still prevalent to an alarming de-
gree in many sections, and progress
to date has been on a small scale.

guilty." the authors write. Nowhere
in the government has there appeared
to be any clear and determined intent
to reverse the old policy" The Presi-

Alaska Defense Command Headquarters Oct. 21 (4o - The latest group of IIberator bOmberS which daily attacking the Japanese, attempting to rein force their garrison at KSka reported that the enemy positions unchanged the island. The Army nOunced that group, of several conducting the Armys raid-aday tests against the invaders, led by Captain Lynn R.

Moore's flight, like all since October 3rd met aerial oppo- sition, which dropping its 12 tons of bombs the and the main Kiska camp. A number of cargo ships already beached in that area and Jap positions at Gertrude Cove where reinforcement attempts are be- ing concentrated, are also unchanged
 The fiers reported that the raiders met cOntinu- ing antiarcraft fire, but most of the JapS scurried for sight of the American planes. >Strafng by raiders earlier this month taught them to find proec tion when U. s. Army fliers make visit. The pilots believe the Japs using bomb craters for she ters, sometimes putting up tents and such improvised protection.
 Fighter escorts for the American raiders recent ly have been reduced because the fighters which do go along find little to do Occasional they find ships trying to make getaway radio shacks upon which to turn their machine guns but lack of fighter oppos tion reduces their duties One group of four fighters recently around hill and were ready to return to their base when they spotted small war yes sel.

Navy Announces Loss Of Destroyers O'Brien and Meredith in SolomOns

Washington, Oct. 21 (P) The Navy announced to- night the loss of two de- stroyers, the O'Brien and the Meredith, in the still developing battle for Quad alcanal, but American air men damaged a Japanese destroyer and stopped a cruiser with a bomb hit. Aerial activity on Monday and Tuesday resulted in the destruction of two en- emy bombing planes, nine Zero fighters and a sea- plane. Three American planes were lost.
 A communique said it is believed that nearly all the personnel of the destroyer O'Brien were saved, and many from the Meredith were saved. Each carried a normal complement of 175 officers and men. The skipper of the Meredith was Commander H arry Ensob Hubbard while Lt.- Commander Thomas Bur- roWes commanded t h e O'Brien. There was no in- formation as to whether either were saved.
