Ideal Defensive Position.
Borneo, rich in oil and rubber and
large enough to mother huge air and
submarine force, had to be our main out
post in the Pacific before any talk of a
defense in the Pacific. A strategic line
from Borneo to Midway and Alaska was
the only ideal defensive position. We
could have been assured that our large
1913 forces would not be hampered by
fears of attack on the West Coast, fears
of japanese assault on Siberia or India
or fears that our ally China would be
crushed.
But no competent military man can
see how we can send our strongest power
against the Nazis while the Pacifc-or
rather the South Pacific-is controlled
by the Japanese. Egypt might we'll yield
spectacular success and we all hope it
will. We may accomplish other goals
in Africa and, here again, we hope for
the best. But triumph for the Japs
would overshadow these Allied victories.
We have paid heavy price in men
and materiel for our gains in the Solo,
mons and this price should be well re-
membered. Great is the cost Of dis
lodging the Japanese from any given
area. From past lessons We know what
it would cost us to win back the Solomons
later.

Indian Front

India became the scene of the renewed
American air activity as the season OF
heavy rains and storms, which have made
arial operations extremely difficult, came
to an end.
This activity, it is suspected, may be
preliminary to an effort to recapture
Burma, taken by the japanese late last
winter. 1t promises to be difficult and
costly job. The only good avenue OF ap-
proach according to informed British
sources, would be across an essentially
roadless, high mountain range from
Assam 1t is probable, however, that new
means of communication have been
opened.
There now will be about seven months
of favorable weather. In their con-
quest of Burma the enemy were aided
greatly by fifth column activities. Now
the tables are turned and United Ma
tons sympathizers are making difficult
the hold of the conquerors.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, April L.
War is changing the appearance
of this vacation resort from a haven
of peacetime luxury into a ready
made camp where thousands OF
soldiers will be taught to battle
Americas enemies.
Many Of the more than 300 hotels
here will continue to serve the gen.
eral public, but Maj. Gen. Walter
r. Weaver stated off1cially that the
Army intends leasing sufficient IA
cilities for 10000 troops.
The men will be taught technical
subjects in an Air Corps replace

non-fying officers of air units at
an officers training center. Ap-
proximately 1000 will be graduated
daily.
Saving In Construction Time.
Camp Miami Beach" will be un-
like any other active Army camp
anywhere in the world. Gen. Weaver
pointed out that by taking over
selected facilities the Army will
obtain this camp" with minimum
saving of three months construc-
ton time, $6,000,000 of the tax
payers money and valuable ma
terials needed elsewhere
Some of the most important
oceanfront hotels have been or will
be leased. Here uniformed men
may lounge in of hours on the
broad beach, swim in the Atlantic,
or go deep sea fishing in the blue
Gulf Stream.
The soldiers will sleep three to
room. Much of the expensive
draperies, rugs and heavily uphol-
stored furniture will be hauled to
storage as too ornate for Army men.
Lobbies, dining rooms and game
rooms will be assembly halls and
classrooms.
Restaurants to Be Leased.

courses, but they won't carry clubs

The men will eat Army style at

Weaver. They're going to be
toughened up by qualified physical

Despite two successive short wal

Agricultural Department said today
This is because the surplus exist

The department said that present

Of 4,636, 100000 produced in 1888.

The department expects the

over Of old wheat Is estimated at
about $4,000 900 bushels. This
country normally uses about 675,-
100000 bushels a year for all pur-
poses.
The crop in Europe this year is
expected by the department to be
about the same as last years below

of labor and military operations
have hindered farming operations

ALONG The
K A L
BY Homer c. Butler

There recently came from the
pen of one of my favorite Negro
rmr's' writing in one Of the
most influential and widely read
Afro American publications an
article on the conduct and disposi-
ton of our group in the presence
of the opposite race, which, is
ever pointing a finger Of criticism
and scorn at the Negro race in
stead of placing the blame indi
vidually ON the perpetrator of a
crime or on an individual for mis-
conduct.
The generalities of this brilliant
Negro commentator centers around
cur conduct in the presence of the
opposite race, particularly in pub
lie conveyances and in or on new
ly created jobs. Personally l
know of no other place that Ne
groes are any more demonstrative
or where he displays any more
boisterousness more un-wittingly
and here let me say that think
that he does this merely to "show
off" to the detriment of the en-
tire race.
There are two individuals that
I would like to mention here that
exemplifies the type of Negro cul
ture that should be initiated by
all Negroes; namely DR.. M. La
fayette Harris, president of Phil
ander-Smith College of Little
Rock, Ark, and Miss Rutledge
student at Talladega.
| DR.. Harris was formerly a Din
ming car employee of the Michi-
gan Central Railroad and has risen
from such humble position to the
/
Presidency of one of Americas
leading colleges. We find this
progressive young man still close
to the earth as representative OF
the Masses of Negroes.
Miss Rutledge a quiet reserved
unassuming person is the daugh-
ter of Mo. Pac. shop employee
states that she selected Talladega
College because of its lack of a
caste atmosphere. She is proud
# the fact that her dad is an en-
ployee of the railroad and all that
they have accomplished is the re-
suit of such employment. She can
exchange verbal punches with any
and all and yet retain her quiet
dignity.
There is found in the two above
mentioned persons the qualities
that should be emulated by any
and all of my people in public
places and on conveyances.
