THE STRENGTH OF
FREEDOM
BY Ruth Taylor

The first time 1 heard that
phrase 1t came from the lips of
one of the truly great elder
statesmen of the Labor movement.
There was lifetime of experience
in his tone when he said, 1--WE
underestimate the strength of
freedom"
What he had learned in his
conditions of his fellow workers,
years of struggle to improve the
is the secret of the power of
democracy. 1t is the vital spark
of reserve power that makes US
sure of the ultimate victory in
this war against tyranny.
There is a hidden strength to
freedom. an innate power which
is invincible. Fearful souls speak
much of the might of the totali-
tartan nations. of the forces of
despotism. But all of these are
as nothing beside the strength of
freedom. Freedom has powers be-
side which the powers of armed
might crumble into their native
nothingness.
There is a balance or power in
freedom because it is applicable
to all without regard to class,
color or creed. without equal
right for all there Is no freedom
for any no liberty, just license
to Cypress for the favored few.
Freedom means the possession
of self initiative and the exercise
of the powers of elaboration. 1t
takes courage to be free, bcause
II demands the acceptance of du-
tbs as we'll as of rights.
A man who is free is strong
man. He is free from the chains
of hate or prejudice, from fear,
selfshness and despair. The man
who is free has learned to walk
alone, to think and decide for
himself. He does not lean on
others. He stands firm by himself.
We have underestimate the
strength of freedom. 1t is like the
education of a child. If a child
has been properly trained, he can
be trusted as an adult to make
correct decisions. Those who have
been trained to freedom have the
strength to use it wisely. This il
our salvation as a nation. This is
the cohesive quality of democracy

Five Negor soldiers were called

lowing their examinations they
were each given meal tickets good
for service at the Grill Cafe, 0I2

These draftees proceeded to the
cafe sa ordered by the Army Off
cials. Upon entering the Cafe and
stating their business, the waiter
who approached them said 81

have to go back in the Chicken

up their meal tickets. threw them
on the floor and walked out. /.
Two of them actuated by neces-
sity and a hungry look yielded
and accepted their meal. One of
the draftees relating the incident
said: eve are draftees IL is true.
Without any special qualifications
we followed the advice of Army
officials to await our call. We lit
tie thought after our examination,
we would be rebuffed by one
whose life might be saved by men
of color. We realized we were in
the army and subject to army or

tered the Grill Cafe and a waiter
who met us told us. 81 won't
feed you in here: you will have
to go back in the Chicken Coop"
a storm of passions shook our
minds, anger and shame. The fact
that we were in the Army did not
mean a surrender of our man

we tore up the tickets and threw
them, at his feet.

A SEATTLE WHITE WOMAN PIERCES THE
SOUL OF THE FLOWERY KINGDOM AND
SPEWS HER VENOM ON SUPERIOR

When I enrolled this summer
during the women's voluntary la.
Dor registration I did 1t not be-
cause l needed work, but because
I felt it my patriotic duty as a
citizen. Because of my education
at the Central College of Educa-
ton at Ellenburg and Baptist
Training School in Chicago and
thre years teaching experience as
kindergarten at the Chinese Bap-
fist School in San Francisco 1t
seemed my place would be in nur.
sery school work.
Last week l was called for an
interview by the U. S. Employment
Office. Because I met the quail
fications I was sent to the offices
of the WPA. Here on two differ
ent afternoons l was questioned by
three different persons. Finally l
was sent to be interviewed by
Mrs. Kiskadden at the Smith
Tower Annex. She admitted I met
all requirements, but so sorry
there wasn't any Chinese nursery
for me. She said: 'It just doesn't
work if you were put into white
nursery"
How can person tell whether
a thing works or not if it hasn't
been tried? During my practice
teaching days at college l had all
white pupils and never was there
any friction. This year l have been
doing nurses aid work at Harbor-
view and Orthopedic hospitals.
Never have had any friction with
the white children that I cared
for.
There's war going on for de-
mocracy. What's the use of it all
il democracy doesn't begin at
home?
Mrs. G. D. GRAVES, Seattle.
Never before have l written
letter to the paper. Now / must
express my opinion of the short
sightedness, narrow-mindednes
and utter lack of the first princi-
pies of democracy that was relat-
ed in "voice of the People" No
vember "a.
AS a teacher and a mother 1
can appreciate the value of expert
training in the early years of a
child's life. I have a son of nur-
Sc school age and If l could
send him to a nursery school
where he could be under the SUI
pervision of a person with the
training and experience of Mrs.
G. d. Graves, whose letter was
published. I should think I was
most fortunate. How better could
race prejudice be abolished than
by having our little ones find out
early in life that skin color and
facial conformations are no index
of character?
When our enemies say that we
don't mean it when we talk of
race equality it is just such Incl
