WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FORT
What are fighting for? Those who would subver
thoughts individuals and defeat nation,
lay great every flaw in our democracy-in the
country, jim every evidence of discrimination preju
dice and lack of brotherhood They LET first de-
mand and fight for rights at home before fight for
the rights of others overseas"
This is speclous argument. 1t sounds we'll but It Just
doesn't make sense--for this is not polite We
not fighting in superior altrustic fashion to other
people setting forth noble crusade with banners flying
and the laws OF carefully drawn up in tournament
form.
We fighting for lives-whether we be
black white, rich poor worker employer, Protes
tant Catholic or Jew We fighting in defense of
homes and families matter whether those homes be
great estates shareeroppers cabins trim city houses
walk up flats in Harlem.
If we lose this war; won't Just have less. Well have
nothlrg-nothing that call Our possess
ions, however meager they may be- will be confiscated
WHAT money lifetime of scrimping may have enabled
to put aside will be forfeited to the state If any OF the
master races underlngs want home, will have
to leave it on the minutes notice without removing any
thing. Education for children will be at an end Even
in occupied France children to he apprentced instead
of schooed the order stating that they will henceforh
have need of education that only workers wanted
Free observance of religion will be forbidden Our own
lives will be lives of drudgery, hardship prvation with
the only ray of hope that of speedy death.
What are we fighting for? We fighting for our
selves For the right TO continue to say think to
pain without fear of secret police; stand up for our
rights to struggle on upward to that children get
better chance than We or fathers before u.s. had
to live more prosperousy to work to make democracy
more vital force in lives to put its principles into
action; to prove the worth of freedom.
These are the things for which fight. Let no man
mistake 1t or attempt to mislead u.s. We fight for our.

DlSCRACEFuL 70 THE RACE

News comes from Chicago that eighty Negroes have
been discovered plotting against the American way of life
1t is disgrace the loyalty Of the Negro race to have
to face such publicity at this any other time. The race
has thru with flying colors Of loyalty and honor thus
far, and to have among midst group of Negroes
who have under the American constitution forged farther
in the ways Of civilization than the dark skinned people
they tamoring to with even admitting that
the freedom accorded Negroes hasn't been perfec plot
against government is dsgracefu But any
not deny that America is not the best bet today for
any who loves freedom Members of the group who
were uncovered in the Chicago city, claim following Of
100000 Negroes who wiling and have pledged al
legiancc to support Japan in her attack against America
This is the most ambiguous statement that has been made
pertaining to the Negro for time and there is
doubt that IT was made from halucnatons.
Not being authority TO speak for the race but we
do believe that these eighty people who were rounded up
in Chicago represent the cran of the Negro race and the
