EARL RRoWDER FREED

In releasing Earl Browder President Roosevelt again
exhibits the two most outstanding qualities of his leader
ship, courage and craftsmanship. Nobody can charge
him with having been weakened at any time during his
entire public career when he summoned to de-
eide in matters involving members of his political
party where action according to duty might endanger his
political life. The sentence of Mr.. Browder
muted the fourteen months already served of the four
year term which was imposed upon him for obtaining
passport by false statements. The White House said
'The President believes that the principle of obed-
law has been sufficiently indicated by the punish
ent already suffered by Browder and that the commuta
ton of his sentence which brings about his release at this
time Just shortly before he will become eligible for
parole, will have tendency to promote national unity
and aay any feeling which may exist minds that
the unusually long sentence in PROVIDERS was by
way of penalty imposed upon him becaue of his political
views"
The President does not hesitate to refer to Earl Brow
ders sentence as Unusually long, and millions of other
Americans have felt the way about it. The truth is
that public reaction to the unusual penalty had become
and widespread seriously to disrupt ma
tona unity. The release of Mr. Browder is not to be
construed as favor to him to adherents of his pot
cal faith The President clearly vsuazed that the free
ing of Browder would have ga tendency to promote ma
tiona unity" Now unity about which are hearing
much these days. is not just maudlin sentiment Under
democratic form of government, in piping times of
peace, united people strong people, rresistby adj
vancing fuller democracy When the nation is under
attack by foreign foe unity becomes powerful wea-
pom The enemy knows that and by every pos
sble he tries weaken and destroy the unity of the
people he seeks to conquer Our farsghted President
has taken another precaution to the enemies

"On the evening of April 80,
a train operated by the Louis
Vile and Nashville Railway
Company stopped at Mont
gomery, Alabama, and nine
colored soldiers stationed at a
camp in this vicinity boarded
t. train. They were coming
North for a well-deserved fur
Tough. They boarded the train
at about GAS in the evening.
"The following morning, May
list, the train stopped at Bowl
ing Green, Kentucky, at about
0 a m. A large group of white
soldiers got off the train at
Bowling Green and went into
tie station for breakfast. The
nine colored soldiers who were
on this train entered the same
station and asked to be served.
they were willing to eat sand
WicheS and coffee; willing even
to stand in line without sitting
down with the other soldiers.
THEY WE'RE REFUSED SEW

"They got on the train to re-
sumo their journey. At moo \
time, the call for lunch was
made in every car except the
car in which the nine colored
soldiers were seated. They new
er were given the opportunity
to eat lunch. All that day, they
rode without food.
From 6:45 p m on April 80
until 4:45 p m on May /, when
they arrived at Cincinnati,
these boys had gone hungry.
These boys were coming home
to Pittsburgh and Philadelphia,
wearing the uniform of the
Army of the United States.
"In England today, the Sys-
tenn of rigid class barriers
which has been established
through centuries Of unintelli-

down under the impact of war.
1t is high time that the re-

colored citizens as fellow hui
man beings was broken dowa.
Colored soldiers and white
soldiers are fighting in the

must see to it that they have

not working for the United

WE FIGHT SLAVERY
By RUTH TAYLOR
For Charles SteLzLe, Inc.

W O5ettI C6O DEGCzLG, MC,
Shorn Of all high-sounding
phrases, the war in which we
are now engaged is a war
against slavery.
In their propaganda the to-
talitarian nations stress every
act OF discrimination on the
part Of the United Nations.
They infer that their own mo-
tiveS are to bring freedom to
the oppressed, yet--at the same
time, and out of the corners
Of their mouths, they prod
their own people to back
breaking tasks with their plans
to enslaye the rest of the
world for the benefit of the
German "overlorda" or "Har-
renvolk."
Japan, so sympathetic in its
propaganda with the hardsilips
of the black man, says to the
Japanese that all the world is
Asia, and it all belongs or
should belong to Japan. Ger
many, in the midst Of strife,
trains its youth for political
leadership, teaching them that
Germany is the rightful ruler
of the world, that they are the
chosen people, the anointed of
God, that all other races are
inferior,
We fight slavery today. If
we lose we will all be slaves,
black and white alike. It will
be slavery which will not
only chain the body, but which
will stultify the soul. There
will be no fSpirituals" to raise
us from the misery of bondage.
All religions, save the blasphe-
my of National Socialism, will
be not merely barred but ban
ned from our lives. Even in
slavery though, the whites will
have the greater advantage. TO
them viii be vouch-safed the
mercy Of a fairly speedy death.
The blacks, however, according
to Hitler's plans, are to be care
fully guarded and preserved.
They are to. be the bearers of
burdens, the hewers of wood
asd the drawers Of water to the
neo-Aryans for eternity.
We fight slavery: The Axis
wants to turn back the clock to
the Dark Ages, for the Nazi
plan of Germanic domination
depends for its existence upon
a world of slaves, too terrified
to revolt against treir brutal
masters.
We fight slavery. Let us not
be led astray by enemy propa-
ganda designed to disrupt and
divide. We must not follow the
false gods of ephemeral free
dom. We must remember the
records of those who seek to
fiatter us now. We must re-
membe the fate of Ethiopia. We
must remember the massacres
in the days Of German East
Africa.
We fight slavery-and as we
fight let us so work and pray
that victory when it comes will
complete and all forms of
man-imposed slavery will be
be banished from the earth
forever. This is the goal to be
sought. This is the goal toward
which this country has made
faster progress than anywhere
on earth. This is striving. This
Is the goal which it will at
tain with the help of all of us.

by DIR. W. Alexander Cox

Our solonS would have us
believe they are saving us poor
unfortunates form the inexor-
able rich capitalists. On the
contrary they are playing the
game of robbing Peter to pay
Paul, with the public interest.
Down South one of the great
est capitalistic utilities in the
world, a government project, is
in full operation. 1t is q pow
er and light project which
supplies power and light at.
about half of what we pay for
it. 1t is operated by the mon
ey which we pay in taxes.
1t is the Muscles Shoals,
wilson's Dam, and now Ten
nessee Valley Authority, or
iva. 1t has already cost the
government a half billion dol
lars. It has had an annual ap-
preparation of twenty-five
millions. During these siren
uous times it has asked that
the appropriation be increased
to thirty millions. On that is
sue iva was exposed to mer-
CHESS excavations in the Sen
ate.
It was brought out that the
chairman is a government ap-
pointee. He has an army of
under officials and clerks. He,
has more than a thousand pas
senger automobiles at his dis
posal, at a cost of half a mil
lion annually. His travel ex-
penses exceed two million an
nually. He has absolute autil-
GRITTY. He gives no accounting
for the moneys expended. This
is only one of the many alpha
betical government capitalistic
utility systems managed under
government appointment,
Rigid war measures are nee
essary. The government needs
everything we possess for the
war effort. We must become
war conscious to understand
the danger. After we have won
the war and the ammunition
plants are reconstructed fer
private industry, manufacture
of the commodities of which
we are now deprived will pro-
vide employment for the SOL
diers we return from the war.
When the bill for the Worn-
ems Auxiliary Army Corps was
before the Senate, Senator
Barbour, N. J. offered an
amendment to ban color pref
udice. The amendment was re-

amendment was supported by
Senators McNary, Or, Johnson.
