To Editor of Northwest
Enterprise:

The acid test of democracy in
the United States is our treatment
of the Negro. This week, Roland
Hayes, one of the worlds greatest
tenors, was refused accommodation
at Seattle's two leading hotels"
except on condition that he take
his meals in his rooms, be seen
as little as possible in the lobby
and entertain all Negro friends
only in his room. He stayed in a
private home. He believes racial
discrimination is increasing in the
United States. Chalk up another
bad mark against war!
Undoubtedly there is increasing
resentment among Negroes be-
cause of determinations. 1t has
been pointed out by Negroes that
one effective way to prevent this
war from developing into a race
war would be to treat Negroes
both in the army and in defense
industries with democratic justice.

American citizens are becoming

Keep Them Climbing!
Says Merry Newton

Keep Them Climping" writes
Miss Merry F. Newton, a teacher
at Piney Woods, upon hearing of
the advances Negroes have made
in industry through the efforts of
the N. A. A. c. P. and other or
CARNATIONS. The local NAACP
Branch is just one of A such
Branches throughout the country
with headquarters in New York
which is making a fight for the
rights of Negroes who have given
their lives freely for American
liberty since the Revolutionary
War. Negroes have proved their
loyalty to America since the days
of Crispus Attacks, the first Am
erican to give his life in the Rev.
dictionary War, and he was Ne
gro.
Miss Newton is the daughter of
Mrs. Rachel Newton of this city.
She hopes to arrive in Seattle for
the summer vacation before the
current membership campaign
ends, for she is a staunch support
ter of the NAACP. Her encour-
aging statement has given added
inspiration to the membership
campaign committee, headed" by
Mrs. Vivienne L. Penick.

When Miner answered the
NAACP's appeal of February 1s
for the adjustment of the quota
system because it shuts out a
large number of colored youth
who want to join the air arm, he
said that facilities for training
Negroes will be expanded as rap
idly as possible and quotas will
be increased as soon as facilities
become available. mo word about
whether or not colored cadets
would be accepted at all training
bases where facilities are already
available was said.
The NAACP told the AAF that
"Colored people are keenly inter-
ested in the actual number of pi-
lots being trained. They ARE be-
ginning to ask how many of their
men will receive training as bonn
bardiers or in reconnaissance work.

Remember The Men
In The Service

Such an appeal was made by
Miss Gertrude Jackson, hostess at
Fort Lewis, to committee from
the Volunteer Social Workers
group Sunday afternoon. Many Of
these boys, Miss Jackson stated,
are from some of the best fam
lilies in the country and Negro cit
liens in general are not doing their
share to entertain them. 'The only
efforts which have been made SO
far, have been made through the
efforts of Miss Idell Vertner and
the Y. w. c. A. and while she Ia
doing all that she can, much more
is needed" The Alpha Kappa AL
pha Sorority entertained the Ne
gro officers recently, but they
were not stationed at Fort Lewis.
There are 1000 Negro men at
Fort Lewis, Miss Jackson said, and
about 300 of them are but 10 and
20 years of age. when we come
to Seattle, said one of these young
men, I'VE haven't a place to sit
down." Such an appeal should not
go unheeded, and the committee
from the Volunteer Social Workers
have assumed the task Of arous-
ing public action in favor Of the
Men in Service. The Committee,
in turn, appeals to the public to
take one or more of these young
men into their homes for dinner,
soon, but especially at Easter
Time, and thus add bit of cheer
to their life at camp. 1t Is hoped
that the public will act promptly
for it is never known when a
Company will be ordered to move.
IF family cannot provide a din
ner, they may give box of candy,
or cookies, or current magazines.
The committee acting as a chan
mel of clearance for Miss Jackson
is headed by Mrs. L. B. Young,
assisted by Mrs. G. Lightfoot,
Miss Sarai Greene, Mrs. F. H.
Bowman, Mrs. Roscoe Smith, Mrs.
Nathan Robinson, and Mrs. Law
renee Paiya. Any family who will
have one or more of the men to
dinner, please notify any member
of the committee, or call Mrs.
Robinson at East 1882.

What Does Hitler Want
BY Ruth Taylor


Are we interested in knowing
how We may please Herr Hitler ?
In knowing what he wants us tc
do? AS a people, Intentionally OF
not, we manage to do most OF
these things.
He is pleased with any evidence
OF disunity. Each time we separ-
ate into groups, and stand upon
the rights of any particular group
we are pleasing Hitler. For it was
by the aid of such groupings that
he separated the people of the
nations he has conquered and en-.
shaved.
He is pleased when we are com.
placent. A complacent people Is q
lazy people, slow to action, rocking
away too comfortably to notice
the tornado until it is upon them
We pleose Hitler with our over.
confidence, with our feeling that
we can't be conquered.
He is pleased when we are Gym
ically critical of those whom we
ourselves have chosen to represent
US Hitler knows that the best
way to slow up action is to make
a leader take off time to explain.
We halt the wheels of progress
when We pause to find fault or
complain.
He is pleased when we stop to
bargain. Those who won't join in
the war effort until they have
"theirs"-whether theirs" be pro-
fits, wages, preferential treatment.
or special advantages-are perfect
followers of Hitler millstones
around the neck of the nation
stumbling blocks in its path.
He is pleased when we allow
hatreds to sway us, when we per-
nit old resentments, fancied
wrongs, unbiased prejudices to do
inmate our actions, setting class
against class, race against race,
creed against creed. Hitler knows
how this saps nations strength.
He Is pleased when we lack
faith-when we allow the under
current of distrust to bog down
our spirits. when we lose sight
of the high goal before us. Hitler
knows that a nation whose ideal
Is undermined by doubt is half
conquered.
These are the ways in which
we can please Herr Hitler. But,
is this what we want to do?
