Navy Announcement Insult To Race"
inferior to the white race.
Racial Superiority

Racial Superiority
This doctrine of racial superio-r
ity propounded by Secretary Knox
in relation to the Negro in the
Navy is one of the major causes
of our present world debacle. Pri-
marily, this war arises out of the
exploitation of the labor and land
and natural resources of the peo-
pies of color in Africa, China, In
dia and the islands of the sea by
the white power nations who have
! set themselves up as the chosen
guardians of the world who are
privileged to sit upon the necks
of non-white people and rob them
of their wealth and insult their
souls to boot.
The United Nations will not win
this war until they recognize and
appreciate the Importance, value,
and equality of the colored races
in our international arrangement
and world economy.
1.-THE Negro is one of the minor
ity groups of America and must
naturally recognize that their hope
lies in the maintenance and per-
petuation of the democratic system
though limited as it is in the So
called democratic nations and
therefore must be concerned about
the victory of the arms of America
and her Allies, Great Britain,
China, and Russia, but white Anne
RIGA must understand that the
Negro is now determined to insist
upon his place in America, the
world and in this war effort, name
ly the Navy, Army Air Corps, and
U. S. Marines are equal and that
they resent the stigma of inferior
ity and the status of vassals which
secretary Knox has affixed to
them"

This is not q white mans war.
It is not though Germany started
II to establish itself as the master
race; though the colored peoples
are still exploited; though undem-
ocratic Americans would monopo-
lie the producing and the fight
ing: and though some Negroes see
it only in terms of their personal
advantage.
This is not a war, but revo.
luton. 1t is another of those earth
/ shaking changes like that of TOO
years ago when the English peo-
pie wrested from the king their
| personal and political freedom. For
the moment the course IF events is
obscured by the alliance between
white Germans soaking to estab-
lish super white supremacy, and
yellow Japanese equally bent on
freeing Asia from white influence.
The truth is an avalanche has
started, movement on SO vast q
scale that few see its scope. But
India and China, to say nothing of
our thirteen milliol in this coun-
try, make it plain that neither the
fighting for the peace afterward
can be kept white.
So long as men are ignorant
they can be herded ab3ut. Now
that invention has made commu-
nications quick and easy, the day
of ignorance Is past. The Ameri-
can farmer sets the price of his
eggs at his gate BIZ the figures
broadcast oversthe radio from the
city. In like manner the billion
colored people In the Orient know
that whites are warning. and that
their hour of deliverance Is at
hand. Fired by the same ambition
other men have, and driven by
their needs, they will share any
gains that come out of the war,
and to get them, they will take a
hand.
Since colored peoples will ulti-
mately be drawn into the fighting
following the pattern already set
by white nations, we should see
that their aid comes to our side.
Suppose to our present forces
could be added the billion nom
white people from whose lands we
get our quinine, our tin, our rubber
and thousand other of our needs!
Already experts are pointing out
that the money and trouble it
costs us to send one American
would equip a dozen Asiatics good
fighting men if given the inspira-
ton. Consider well that eff" We
can meet that requirement. The
colored peoples, ground down to
the lowest scale of living by COM
mercial practices, are not going to
take hand in order to continue
the prevailing conditions. Witness
their apathy to England's plight
as the Japanese overran Malaga
and Burma! The exact reverse Of
the attitude of the Filipinos when
these same japanese struck Lu-
zon!
The sign of the times is there
for America to read! AS the lead
er of the United Nations defense

Black Is Still an
Important Word

At all fashionable gatherings it
becomes increasingly apparent that
black is staging a triumphant come
back into the fashion picture. The
smartness and Importance of black
is strikingly evidenced in the stun
ming new black satin gowns featured
in prologue to the fall season.
The new black frocks that make
slim silhouettes their theme are ap-
pearing everywhere in fashionable
gatherings. They look smartest
adorned with a single, important
piece of jewelry and with giddily
colorful long gloves and an enchant-
ing hat to supply the prettily femi-
nine touch.
Then there are the entrancingly
''pretty-pretty' black sheers, many
of which take on endearing pink or
pale blue accents. Black shantung
and black linen suits are declared
by many to be the smartest town.

dressy afternoon wear there's moth
ing in the way of suit which out
classes those styled of black benga-
line. Women are also expressing a
desire for simple daytime frocks
made of black rayon jersey.

7 EFT no one think that specifca-
~ tons for conserving materials
in wartime have put restrictions on
attractiveness. On the contrary, the
new order of things is ushering in
fashion cycle frought with new
ness in chic and charm that is ex-
citingly interesting. Instead of find
ing them disappointing you'll find
that the new styles have exactly
what every woman is looking for
neat silhouette and fine basic design,
together with innumerable little
niceties of detail which are flatter-
ing and lovely and expressive of all
that is best in costume technique.
The manipulation of fabric so as
to use less yardage simply fasci-
mates with it's artfulness and re-
sourcefulness. Materials favored for
the new priority fashions" are
those which lend themselves best to
delightfully."- feminine, draped and
NODDED styling which achieves the ut
most in figure fattery. For this
purpose rayon crepes are proving
ideal for the entire dress or used in
combination with satin, faille or vel

together is fashion news of out
standing Importance for fall. In fact,
the new black-on-black vogue which
works black crepe or jersey with
satin or faille or touches of black
velvet is the fashion high spot of the
immediate moment.
Another new trend which reacts
to the good in response to the de-
mand for curtailment in the use of
metal fastenings is the amazingly
clever way in which dresses and
coats and blouses are made to close
with self-fabric ties, or wraparound
devices or with plastic buttons which

way to the nurses aid class, moth
er or the youngsters, no one should
skip blithely over this meal of the
day.
For years doctors and dieticians
have looked askance at those who
passed up a real up-and-at-them
breakfast because it doesn't give
the body a chance to start func-
tioning early in the day. If you're
fat, you need fruit-egg-toast-and-
beverage breakfasts to start your
metabolism working at top speed to
start tearing down of excess tissues.
If you're thin, then you need just
as much of breakfast with few
more trimmings, to start building
yourself. If you're normal, you still
need the hearty breakfast so you
can maintain your health and give
your body it's daily nutritional re-
quirements. And one of the best
recommendation for real break
fast is the good way it starts you
on your days work. None of that

features the slim long-torsoed sill

fitted under garments to achieve the
smoothly streamlined effect so essen

fattering sweetheart neck and knots
casually at the waistline above the
skirt draping, which is concentrated
at the front.
Tremendous play is being made on
the working of black satin with dull
surfaced rayon crepe. Yokes, in
sets and landings of the satin, as
well as big, soft bows, give pleas
ing variation to fall frocks of con-
trasting fabric.
Color contrast is another featured
theme. Designers are highlighting
striking effects in no uncertain
terms, using sleeves of one color
and bodice top of another with the
two colors appearing in the skirt.
Coat dresses have panels of con-
trasting color to match the color of
the plastic buttons.
