The full text Of the greet
ing reads:
1T is with qualification
that | extend greetings to
the NAACP on the occasion
of its Thirty-Third Annual
Conference in Los Angeles.
Il note with satisfaction
that the theme Of your sig
nificant gathering reads
Victory Is Vital to Minori-
ties This theme might be
reversed and given to the
Nation as a slogan. For to-
day. as never before in our
history, 'Minorities Are Vi
tai to Victory
I'VE are, in a sense, a ma
tion Of Minorities. BY race,
by religion, color or ances-
try, each constituent group
is a minority when viewed
in relation to our total pop
ulation. But it is the essence
Of our democracy that QUE
very differences have weld
ed us into a Nation. And
the democratic way OF life
within that Nation can be
defended successfully only
with the help and support
Of all groups within its bor-
ders.
Your striking t h G m 4
Victory Is Vital to Mino. i
ties does more than answer
our enemies---both domestic
and foreign---Who seek to
accentuate our differences
in order to divide our
strength. AS Chief Execu-
tive of this whole American
Nation, | assure you that
your Government will ac-
cent its responsibility to
you.

MISSISSIPPI EDI-

NOW PAYING FOR

JACKSON, Miss, July
(ANP)-By neglecting to

my rejecting thousands o f
colored selectees because Of
! lise~acy W hile white
youths are being drafted,
an editorial in the Jackson
Daily News, edited by Col.
Frederick Sullens, pointed
out last week.
Under the title, Unfair
to Negroes, the editorial
said:
"A recent address by
Hon. H. v. Watkins, pio-
neer educational lie a d er,
and Jackson most useful
citizen contained some un-
pleasant revelations con-
corning the unadequacy of
the NeGre sch0ol system In
Kinds county and rank In
justice to the Negro race in
the oppor ito n m e mt $ of
school funds.
1T was unpleasant, bui
it should not have been in
terpreted as meaning thai
Kinds county is alone in
this respect. The same or
similar conditions prevail
generally over the state,
and in some counties are in
finitely worse than in Kinds
county.
"Take for illustration our
neighboring county Of Ma
olson. Last census in that
county $ h Q W d a t o t q |
white population of 1850
and a total Negro popula-
tion of 28,127. In spite of
this large Negro population
there is not a single four
year high school in the
county, outside the city Of
Canton. The census report
| also reveals that there were

is nur suspicious conclusion that it finally arrived by mail from Ketoh- ikan
 Almost before the dust settled from the first bomb on Dutch Har- Dor. London announced to the world by radio that the incident had talk en place. 4 little later Moscow kindly came along to confirm the report and, thirdly. a D. s. station at San Francisco broadcast to the world the salient points of the re- port.
 Papers published in Seattle about that time have arrived in Alaska On recent boats with pictures, and com plete accounts of the incident. A fine picture Of Dutch Harbor decor ates the first page of one of them while the back page is given entire ly to an even fore detailed pictorial display of the Unalaska naval base and surroundings.
 Don't look for any such thing in Alaska papers because Alaskans are in total "blackout". The dissemin- ation Of information in Alaska dealing with such things is out AL aska newspapers are barred from telling Alaska what the rest of the world knows. As reported last week. copy Of the Seattle Times recent ly arrived here looking like old lace after the censor had gotten through using his scissors. Yet that paper was sold on the streets of Seattle, and sent broadcast through out the Northwest with it's informa- ton. However. obviously it wasn't fit matter for Alaskans Common information that London. Tokyo. Berlin and our own United States has long hashed over as old stuff is not privileged in the north
 Possibly mentally, we aren't up to it but we still can't resist asking WHY, even on chance of being ex-. cluded as an undesirable character
 We ask Byron Price, old AP man, now head of censorship, WHY cant Alaskans have the same infor-I nation available in the States?
 We ask Generals Dewitt and Buekner WHY are Alaska newspa- pers not permitted to disseminated the same information papers in the States are permitted to give their readers?
 How can Seattle paper carry a. picture of Dutch Harbor on it's front page and send that paper throughout Alaska when Alaska newspapers are barred from using anything in the way of pictures orI other information about our defenseI efforts or bases?
 We may be reading the answersI to these questions in a nice, snug guard house with a sentry on watch outside, and not able to present them to you, but. dammit, we still want to know WHY?

ALAsKA's TOTAL "BLAcKOUT"

We don't believe the U. s. Army high command has any notion that the people of Alaska are attempt ing to resist the war effort. We don't believe General Dewitt of the Ninth Corps Area, with control oY- er the Pacific Coast including Al- aska. has any such leanings. We don't believe Gen. Simon B. Buck ner. IT,. head of the Alaska De. tense Command, with power of life and death over Alaskans, has any Idea of making a concentration camp out of the Territory to safe guard against AlasKans. We think they are all trying to win the war; and we know they VIII along with the rest of the Americans and Allied nations.
 We do, however, want to call their attention to the fact that Ale askans, as good Americans, would like to be in on 1t.
 We in the Territory have been trying, SO help us. We bought and are buying bonds, We have rallied to the support of the war effort in every way that it has been present. ed to us. Our various communities were among the first to be on their toes with Civilian Defense. We ap- preciate our task is more difficult because we are in a war zone of op- erations and we are glad to take it, come what may. We don't mind bIackouts as military necessity and all of us will do our utmost to see that they are executed as ordered Our inquiry is only this;
 Why total blackout? Why be the only Americans in the dark?
 As everyone in the world knows with the possible exception of a few Alaskans, bombs fell on Dutch Har- bor last week. The Sentinel, faith ful to it's trust of 40 years in pre- senting the news to Alaskans, re- ported the incident last Friday. Of ficially, we stood a chance of mak-- ing the clink by doing so, because it wasn't official news in many places in Alaska, including Wran- gell, until 11:30 a. n. June 8. The Dutch Harbor incident, as you re- call, occurred on June 3. Our offic- ial information, which had been faithfully filed by the Associated Press early on June 3, arrived at the hour stated five days later via the Alaska Communication System. We don't officially know it, but 1t
