Negro tenth Of the nation is think
ing on the war.
In his speech Wednesday Mr..
MacLeish denied that "Negro
Americans aren't sure they want
to fight this war at ALL" or that
they are in doubt as to what they
are fighting for.
We wish Mr.. MacLeish were
right. But we fear he's been in
dulging in wishful thinking. Wish
ing won't win the war. We won't
weld true unity by merely pro-
nouncing that unity is already here.
The real sentiment among Ne
groes, we think, is more accurate
ly gagged by the resolution adopt
ed last month at a conference of
Negro leaders, stating: eve be-
lieve the Negro is not wholeheart-
eddy and unreservedly all-out in
support of the present war effort. ="
All shades of opinion can be
found among the 100000 Negro
Americans. Our own conviction is
that the great majority are anti
Hitler, pro-Roosevelt, but luke
warm toward the war.
They are lukewarm because they
resent being treated as second
class citizens in the war effort.
They resent the numerous clausus
imposed on them in the army and
navy, and their total exclusion
from the Marine Corps. They re-
sent the Jim Crow treatment &C.
corded their sons and brothers in
army camps, especially in the
South. Here's part of letter that
came to our desk today:
"I have a son-in-law in camp in
Florida. He says the way they are
treated couldn't be any worse than
Germany. The colored boys in
southern camps if conditions aren't
better will begin to think they
don't care who wins"
In many ways Negroes are made
to feel that this is a white mans
war, not theirs. They saw the great
Red Cross first reject their blood
donations for wounded soldiers and
sailors, then, under pressure, ac-
cept them on a Jim-Crow basis.
They hear the urgent call for all
out war production, but find them
selves barred from many plants
where they know men are needed.
They are thrilled by the Presidents
sharp rap at discrimination in in
dustrial employment; they don't
understand why rampant discrimi-
nation Is tolerated in the Govern
ment's own war services. They feel,
many OF them, that in actual prac-
tice the nation follows the slogan:
"This is a white mans war-Ne-
groes keep out"
White Americans may be in
clined to overlook 'for the dura-
ton" the indignities heaped on our
dark-skinned citizenry since the
onset of the war emergency. This
inclination isn't shared by the Ne
gro masses. That's fact that must
be faced.
Nothing is gained by sticking
our heads in the sand. We won't
achieve unity by wishful thinking,
or by the beautifully expressed po-
etc mysticisms of MacLeish, how
ever well-intentioned. Concrete &C.
ton is needed, based on hard facts.
We've got to show-not in words
alone, but in deeds-that this isn't
an exclusive war, that all Ameri-
cans, including Negroes, have a

modern metnodS OF SuCn hearts
showed in most cases that the ac-
tual trouble was old rheumatic
heart disease, hardening of the
arteries or some condition not
connected with the exertion of
athletic competition.
Today with the tremendous ex.
ira strain put on the hearts of
new recruits with the exercises,
long marches and hardening pro-
cess for military maneuvers, the
concept requires some further def
milton.
Causes Of Strain
Acute heart strain undoubtedly
occurs. The causes are (D occu-
pational, (2) infectious. 90 pre-
viously existing heart disease, "a
age-over 40 there is less elias
ITCHY in the heart muscle and
large arteries, 90 nervous strain
or excitement, and most impor-
tant co. excessive exertion in lift
ing, pulling. straining, marching,
running, carrying heavy loads.
The symptoms are sudden on
set with pain or discomfort over
the heart, weakness, shortness of
breath and palpitation, and limi-
tation Of response on the part Of
the heart TO exercise tests, rapid
pulse, often enlargement of the
heart (dllitation) and pulse ir-
regularity. The basic cause is
probably oyerstretching of the
heart muscle. Many doctors do
not agree that there is any such
thing, but at least all the signs
disappear on rest and the quiet
ing of apprehensions.
Does acute strain go over into
chronic heart strain? That is what
we want TO know in connection
with school athletics and military
training. The heart of chronic
strain may be defined, for pur-
poses Of argument, as an enlarged
heart with a low reserve.
Result of Activity
There is no question that un-
usual activity causes enlargement
Of the heart. Soldiers hearts are
larger than civilians. Heavy la
borers have larger hearts. Wild
animals have larger hearts than
household pets-the wild rabbit
has heart almost three times as
heavy as a pen rabbit of the same
weight
But does this do any permanent
harm? Probably not Nor cause
any unpleasant symptoms. Farrell
studied % runners three days af-
ter they had reached New York
from Los Angeles. They cad av-
eraged IL miles for 81 consecutive
days, yet only one mans .sart
was larger than when they mad
started and he was ca years old
and had been running for 10 years.
The conclusion seems to be that
there is no such thing as chronic
heart strain and that under mill
tary supervision the soldiers life
puts no burdens on the heart.
