"a WHITE MANS COUNTRY"

Out in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania few days ago, a
Negro was tailed and turned to the FBl for saying
This is white mans country and white mans Govern
mcnt and white mans war; The only naccuracy OF the
mans statement il. This is white mans war; The Ne
gro has been taught every since his advent to this soil that
this white mans country, and at no time during
peace tine did the white lax in his advertisement 20
give the Negro q chance To forget The advertisement
has been kept up thru the highest political leaders to the
lowest backward elements Of during war times
advertising has been reluctantly given with the exception
Of Tennessee Bosses who have never reened in keeping
the NEGROES Informed that this il white mans country
With that kind Of advertisement, it is no more than
natural for the Negro to forget just who he abored
ard toiled to buid country for. So, why was it crime
why could it be termed treason fer man to utter
something That he has been taught all his life? The white
man has been sincere in his statements else he
could hold to doctrine thru out generations unless
he felt there was something in that doctrine Now, The
Negro is guilty Of treason because he repeated what he
has been taught by the white man. The white man could
be wrong ID his belief that this is white mans conurf
but nothing has been given to to reute his sincerity
Of his teaching 80 therefore are forced to accept it,
But. not agree that This is white mans war this
is eyerbodys war This ~ as much Of the Negroes
it Is the white mans Tor. it matters little to whom
the country and the government belongs this Is the Negroes
home ard his hoDe threatened by enemies and he must
and wiz join with others to protect the only home he can
lay any claim on Who owns the principle is Of little i'm
portance thru here everything the Negro is in eo
pardy and he is not going to place further jeopardy his
possessions debating whose country this whose
eminent This is his and he knows it, and he is go
ing to act accordingly and settle what issues arise
later. YOU cen bet your boots on that!

WHAT IS THE ANSWER?

Even though because of the present crisis there is
ever increasing national unity, still there remains in this
country minority groups who minortes not through
any desire of their but because the majority so cond
them.
But aie we right to call this failure of democracy?

only real solution .he problem is as ii on all such ques
tons, education.
The majority must be educated to the minority as
individuals 70 Judge them men by their actions and ac
complishmens The minority must be educated to improve
lis ndivre status, not to be touchy, nor to draw apart
into highly sensitive, clannish groups.
Justice not charity is what wanted Unbnged by the

absolute fairness to ALL upon equal sharing Of the rights
and duties upon meeting ground of a common response

Dissemination and prejudice cannot be maintained by

false theology can relationships be made to endure The

Teach fendness kindness and forbeaance to children and
you will have friendly adults.
We must begin with them, and then work individually
and collectively for justice and goodwill among all racial
groups, at home and abroad This is task for ALL, not

Mr.. White viii Discuss The
Movies
According to press reports, Mr.
Walter White, executive secretary
Of the n. A. A. c. p, will, along
with certain otter matters, take
up with movie executives the ste
reotype treatment Of colored peo-
pie in pictures while out on the
West coast.
This is certainly good news to
this department, which (if our mod
esty will be forgiven has repeat
edly urged the N. A. A. {. p. and
Negro newspapermen to consider
the ways Of the movies as they
affect the representation and define
at on Of coloied Americans.
1t is good news, and the ncws is
overdue: for as this department
has pointed out previously, the
treatment of Americans Of color IN
the movies is hardly a less vicious
form Of lynching than that set
down so wildly m Mr.. Whites
heavily documented books on lynch
law in the United States.
Mention is made here Of Mr..
Whites mission. not merely be-
cause this department has urged
some such attention to the movies.
but rather to suggest that colorod
citizens be on guard to support Mr..
White in the stand he is sure to
take on this matter.
As far as this department is con-
concerned, it has iro doubts what

still wonders why in heavens
name can't some other type be
presented on the screen n those
sumptiuous movie palaces millions
Of Negroes have helped to build,
and to which they go daily to be
insulted.
We hope Mr.. White is out there
On the West Coast to look into
this.

MO COUNTRY can expect to in

NO COUNTRY can expect to in

pense of a lower standard OF liv-
ing, and suppression o.. cultural
advancement by its minority groups
Therefore, it would seem that one
Of tie great needs, of the Negro in
this country is an organ Eat onal
structure capable of fostering his
economic status to degree of self
suifieieney. There are many places
in defense industry denied Negroes
because Of his chance for economic
advancement.
We face an employment problem
that has relegated our economic
condition to a hand to mouth eX~
istence. And such being the case,
our cultural advance in proportion
to population has suffered almost
complete stagnation. White peo-
PIE are quick to pc Mt out individual
eases Of advancement by memHafs
Of our race, but are blind to the
real needs of the under privileged
masses. An example Of how we are
kept the suppressed minority We
are, is the necessity by our local
teachers to enter suit for an equal
ization of salar es. In every IN
stance where there has been recog-
uized by the white man, the posi-
bIlity of economic advancement by
the Negro, he has been met by
some form of trickery.
The elnmeleon-like attitude of
the government in dealing with the
Detro housing problem resulted
in the usurpation of its power of
a bunch of hoodlums. Things have
reached pitiable state when gov
policy can be dictated by
such rabble.
There is no need for any race
problem in this country If govern
