Editor: The struggle of the col

treatment in the national defense
program is another aspect of the
races continuous battle for full
citizenship rights in America.
Of all the shabby dealings of
America, none is more shameful
or more indefensible than her re-
fusal to give colored people, who
represent one-tenth of the popula-
ton, fair deal in the armed forces
and in national defense work.
Every American will agree that
national unity is essential to the
success of our program for ma
tiOnal defense. No one denies this
fact. No one doubts that it is all
important.
For a year now, 80 per cent of
America has been moving forward

wilderment and encouragement,

Editor: In your issue of April
10 Mr.. Jonas Schwartz writes in
reference to naming of persons who
presumably speak for the Negro
in important meetings. 1t is like
wise my opinion that they should
be made public, whether such per-
sons champion the popular side or
otherwise. If they be sincere in
their belief they should be willing
to sponsor their thoughts, and be
not ashamed. 1t would be to their
credit if the future course of events
proved them right. But whether
the words of their mouths be popu-
lar or unpopular, right or wrong,
