Henry Kaiser, owner of the

In Vancouver, Washington.
Ray demanded that Negro work

further that they be segregated

he was endorsed in his position by

LYLCHERS AID HITLER
Working for Hitler and Hirohito
too, were the Mississippi lynchers
who, three times in single week,
used the axis weapon, racial blgo-
try, in a purely Southern manner
to brutally and violently snuff out
the lives of three human beings,
two of them 14-year-old boys.
Blinded by hateful racial
arrogance, these lynchers COM
pletely ignored the worldwide
repercussions of their savage
deeds. stupidity overlooked was
how they were dem0raliZing
more than IS per cent of all
the men i'm the United Nations
fighting forces, who are color
ed. Nothing either the Hitler
or Hirohito propaganda stOOges
did last week had as disastrous
an effect on our fighting men
as did these unpatriotic, Nazi-
like mob terrorismS.
The actions Of Mississippis
lynchers, South Africa's church
men and prejudiced employers and
lnions are utterly inconsistent
with the stated aims of this war
for democracy. They are based on
the old inperialistic and revived
axis belief in the existence of sin
ferior" and superior" races, a
fallicious belief that the United
Nations are solenlnly pledged to
destroy.
TIME FOR ACTION
Our leaders can no longer be
satisfied with merely saying that
they believe in the doctrine of the
Four Freedoms, Of full and demo-
cratic recognition Of human
equality. The time has come that
for our very safety, they must act
This problem created by bigoted
racial intolerances will never be
solved by the customary hush
hush method.
The solution calls for bold, all
out attack. Racial bigotry, preju-
dice and arrogance must be ruth
lessly blasted from our pathway
to a total and complete democratic
victory. The full and unrelenting
force OF government must be used
to naercilessly destroy these sabo-.
teurs OF victory. TO delay is to
postpone victory; to evade is to
invite defeat.

of a 24-room colored unit to the

The sum is an outright grant

days to accept or reject the offer.
Acceptance was contained in a

TO give democracy a full and
liberal Interpretation an
Interpretation that gives full
recognition to the brotherhood
of man and the real basic dem
ocratic principle Of human
equality.
This failure to give a liberal in
depreciation to all that democracy
stands for hangs like a milestone
around the neck Of not only
Americas attempt at an all-out
war effort, but we find it actually
blocking the full mobilization OF
all able-bodied men in the Union
of South Africa, a member OF the
United Nations.
OPPOSE ARMING OF
NATIVES
In this other U. S. A., half way
across the world, we see professec
Christians, members OF the DuCch
Reformed Church, violently oppos-
ing the mobilization OF natives III
combat units, even though the
threat of a japanese invasion Is
no Pigment of Imagination.
"The principle of arming ma
tives is contrary to the consti-
tuition and principles of the
Word of God,'' selemnly re-
solved these brethren, seeking
under a dubious mixture OF
Christian faith and racial ar
rogance to restrain the use of
black manpower to the subor-
dinate and mental tasks.
These South African Christians
(?) would send black men off tc
meet the hail of enemy fire armed
only with shovels and picks.
just like Americans, who stub
bornly cling to nildewed discrimi-
natory employment practices, they
fail to see that theyvare not hurt
ing the natives as much as they
are helping the enemies Of their
country. Neither these Africans
nor their American counterparts
yet grasp the full meaning of de-
mocracy.
MANPOWER WASTER
Disgusting is the fact that amid
all of the current discussion about
manpower shortages, too many
American employers are allowed to
continue their wasteful pre-war
white Christian only hiring policy.
Black men possessing skills
now SO sorely needed by the
nation under this undemocrat-
ic policy are forced to do un-
skilled manual labor, e they

delay in dealing with this mon
ster allows this stupid and UNI
necessary conflict between racial
groups to work for the benefit Of
our enemies.
The difficulty is that too many
white Americans look upon the ra-
cial problem with too narrowed a
viewpoint. They think of it in
terms of purely domestic issue.
Whatever we do here is nobody
else's business is their position.
Their thought closely resembles
that of our sleeping isolatlonists
before Pearl Harbor.
WORKING OVERTIME
FOR AXIS
They blindly fail to see how
American racial bigotry and AFRO
gance in this time of national per-
il, is working overtime for Hitler
and Hirohito. It is not only a
stumbling block within our own
country, it Yields q tremendously
lisheartenirg impact on the mil
lions of colored peoples all over
the world, who fortunately are en-
listed on our side in this fight to
the death.
Bigotry, prejudice, arrogance
stand now like grim sentinels in
the path of the United Nations

They sabotage the will of the ma
jority of the people who are an
xious that democracy unflinchingly
