ON GODS SIDE
For Charles SteIzIe, Inc.
BY RUTH TAYLOR

For Charles SteIzIe, Inc.
1t is interesting to note that
one of the deepest, thoughts
and finest slogans to rise out
of this World War was given
to the Nation by a Negro.
When Joe Louis said, so sim
cerely and simply, Were go
ing to do our part, and we'll
win because we're on Gods
SIDE" he voiced for Americans
everywhere, the faith that will
remove mountains and will
achieve the ultimate Victory.
Not for us the vainglorious
cry of aggressors throughout
the ageS-"The gods fight on
our side" Not for us the Ger
manic arrogance which seeks
to make God gooSe-Step as a
member of their armed forces.
That is the broad path of
self-will which leadeth to de-
Struction. For rs, instead, the
narrow upward climb under
the banners of Him who is all
goodness. We do not precede
we follow God.
What does that mean? It
means that we must place our
selves unreservedly in His
hands, endeavoring to conduct
ourselves according to what we
know to be His Will.
We are not children. We
know the difference between
right and wrong. We kno<
that cruelty, oppression, theft,
murder, are sinS-no matter
against whom they be COM
mitted. We know that we
must fight for what is right,
that what is upon us is no
longer an attack upon the
stranger in our midSt-but an
organized revolution against
the truths of justice, mercy,
kindness and liberty; that
this is a fight in which all who
acknowledge the sovereignty of
God-be they rich or poor,
black or white, worker or en-
ployer, young or old, man,
woman or child-have a task
to perform. We are all called
to fight on the side of God.
'Put on the whole armor of
God" said st. Paul. For we
wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against principali-
ties, against powers, against
spiritual wickedness in nigh
places. Wherefore, take unto
you the whole armor of God
that ye may be able to with
stand in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand"
We Go not seek new powers,
new lands, new privileges as
the rewards of this war. Wei
ask simply for justice toward
all, that all men, no matter
what their class, or race, or
nationality, or creed, may be
free to live and to earn a liv-
ing without discrimination and
without fear. We fight on
Gods side, that His Kingdom
may reign on earth.

WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON BUREAU
80 the Editor of The Guardian:
Am extension of the service
by the RAaAcP to the race has
5mss been put into effect-the
establishment in the national
capital of a bureau to battle
every day TO protect the rights
&C colored people during this
most crucial period of the
worlds history. These head
quarters are located at 100
Massachusetts, Avenue. A cor
dial invitation is extended to an
friends of the NAACP to visit us
whenever in Washington.
Washington today is the CEN
ter of activity not only of the
United States but, in a large
measure, the place where decis-
ions affecting the future of the
entire world are being made.
The time, money and energy put
into activities outside of Wash
ington will not have their maxi
mum effect unless there is at
the national capital intelligent.
persistent, day-to-day follow up
work by an agency which
through the years has earned
the respect of those in author
ity.
The NAACP has only a very
small part of the minimum cost
OF $4,000 a year to pay for the
maintenance Of this bureau
We ask through the medium of
your columns, generously con-
tributed by you, that those who
are far-visioned enough to see
the Importance of a Washing
ton bureau contribute such
sans as they can afford towards
SIS naainSenance. Cheques and
money orders should be made
payable to Mary White Owing
ton, Treasurer, and sent to the
NAACP at SO Fifth Avenue, New
York.

Secretary.

Down in Dixie they view the
var as pfovidential and with
grave consequences. Here are
some quotations from speech
made before the Bar Associa-
ton in South Carolina.

Be a Good Soldier! Letter From Father on Duty in South Pacific Reflects
 Morale of
 Troops.

Somewhere in the South Pa cific is a staff sergeant with a medical unit of the United States Army who writes to his 7-year old son, Jackie, living in South Boston, a letter such as one might expect from a Daddy" to his boy separated by many thou sand miles. Her 1t is:
 Dear Jackie:-
 How is my favorite son this morning? Your mother tells me that you are a very good boy and that you are learning to read very well. I like to hear things like that, because then I know that you are not causing mother to worry about you. You can tell the boys at school that your dad has been in Australia and is now winning the war in New Gale donia, which is an island off the coast of Australia. I haven't been able to get a Japanese helmet as yet, but will keep my bolo knife as a souvenir for you, also my Frank Buck" hat.
 hope you are buying War Sav- mug Stamps, as we need all the ships and tanks and guns that we can get. Each little boy should do his share with his pen- nies but of course he should keep a little for Ice cream, too. I would like to be going to the movies with you today, we used to have fun going to the show on Sunday and then coming home to dinner. I will have a lot of funny stories to tell you when I see you again.
 Please tell mother that daddy wishes her a lot of happiness on Mothers Day and that he would like to be with the family at home. I sent mother a letter last week and said for her to get you present, to do until I can get home. So, hoping you will try to do as mother says and be good little soldier, I remain,
 Yours as ever, DAD."

PROPOSE CHANGES
 IN COURT SETUP
Judge Wynne Advocates Governor Naming City
 Judges for 4 Years

Abolition of summer recesseS and set return days are among changes advocated in the state court sys- tenn by Superior Court Judge Ken meth Wynne and former U. s. Atty. George Cohen. Writing for the current issue of the Connecticut Bar Journal, Judge Wynne con- demns the practice of adjournment in June until September. He speaks of the numerous problems that are constantly arising in every day life and states it Is illogical to treat the courts like academies and make them idle during the. summer months.
 Atty. Cohen in advocating aboli- tion of specific return days points to the satisfactory practice used in federal courts. In superior court return day is the first Tuesday of the month, excepting July and Aug ust when the courts are closed. He speaks in particular of hardship the practice creates in divorce cases which are required to rest on the court docket for three months be- fore hearings. In the absence of any summer return days, he points out, petitioners in July must wait until the September return day with the additional required three month waiting period great delay results in disposition of the cases.
 Among other changes proposed by Judge Wynne is appointment of municipal court judges by the gov- ernor for four year terms. Objec- ton is voiced against the present practice which creates long political discussions and uses up considerable amount of the General AssemblyS time.

steel shoes for their tiaoroughbreds becanse of pFiorities on the metal.
 Beardsiee reports that it isn't SO much of problem. however, for at Thistle Down, as at most tracks. there is enough to sec the season through.
 Promised Enough Steel
 AS fer next year, Beardslee said a Pittsburgh mill told him he could have 300 pounds of steel when he needed 1t. You see, each shoe weighs only from 3 to 3 l-2 ounceg. and the steel we use isn't enough to be missed" he said.
 "Bes1deg." he added, "the gov- ernment can see that racing is beneflting the war program. The government is getting revenue. and the army and navy relief funds are getting couple of million dollars"
 The bangtails, therefore, needn't worry-at least not for a while -- about having to gallop about in their bare feet, even though Hitler has lowered their standards of liv- ing.
