The CIO And The Negro

49,
The Clio And The Negro
THE CONGRESS for Industrial
Organization, known as the
clio, has given the Negro the best
opportunity he has had to solve
some OF the problems that have
vexed the minds OF our thinkers
for decades and to counterfeit some
OF the bad propaganda that has
been disseminated against the Ne
gro for centuries.
II used to be held by best minds
OF our group that the wealthy class
OF white people were the Negro's
best friends; that 1t was the poor
whites who were the most preju-
diced and gave the most trouble.
who constituted the mobs that
lynched and beat Negroes aud
showed fragrant and violent man.
festations OF their racial prejudice.
On the other hand these best minds
pointed out that the rich white peo-
pie gave us jobs and contributed to
our schools and churches and that
they were refined and educated and
did not participate in acts OF vio-
lence against the Negro. could
never share this superficial view
point. For II one pauses to analyze
the whole social and economic or
ganization of this country and the
imperialistic nations Of the world
for that matter, vt becomes crystal
clear that the true enemy OF the
Negro is not the white working
man, but the powerful. rich ele-
ment who controls the press, radio,
schools, pulpit. motion pictures and
all the major agencies of\propa-
ganda which influence and shape
the minds OF the common people.
II steady stream of propaganda
would flow from these agencies in
behalf of the Negro, we would wit
ness a tremendous change In the
attitude OF the white worker to-
ward the Negro almost overnight:
because there Is nothing biological
or natural about race prejudice.
But this rich element is not ready
TO do this yet. II serves their eco
nomic interests TO keep race preju-
dice alive and afiame. II they can
keep the workers divided and hat
ing each other, they can slow W
or prevent organization and keep
down the living standards OF both
the black and white worker. In
strike situations they have always
pitted one race against the ether
TO the detriment OF both. Even In
their philanthropy they have al
ways fostered the theory OF sep
aratism.
But with the advent and growth
OF the Clio and its broad policy OF
organizing all workers together t.
| respective OF race or color. great
opportunity has been given botn
the white and black worker 10 un-
derstand each other better and 10
develop mutual respect and conf
dence between them.
However, with the opportunity

SMALL POTATOES"
 McKEOUCH

Congressman Raymond s. Mo- Keough, fighting for the Senate seat of c. Wayland Brooks from Illinois, has forged a potent weapon for himself out of attacks on him by his opposition.
 For weeks The Chicago Tribune, which supports Charlie McCar- thy Brooks, has referred to the Congressman as Raymond s. Small Potatoes" McKeough.
 So McKeough has accepted this label, announced that Small Pota- toes' symbolizes his devotion to the cause of the little fellow. As a result Small Potato Clubs have been organized throughout Illinois Members wear buttons shaped like a potato and pay $l for them - which is helping finance the Me Keough campaign. The new slogan has captured the imagination of Illinois voters and politicians say MeKeough has a real chance ot beating Brooks.

The report shows how dearly the Commandos paid for few bad breaks in carrying out the opera ton. The main misfortune was the fact that the Germans of the attack before it reached the beaches-a fact resulting either from Nazi es- pionage or from the chance meeting of the invasion fleet with an escorted German tanker in the channel
 As the report from Ottawa points out this placed the Germans the alert in their formidable forti- fcations, and exposed the Allied raiders to intense fire even before they reached the beach slight delay also meant the difference between landing around Dieppe in the dusk before dawn and having to storm the beaches in broad daylight This diff ference alone perhaps accounted for a goodly part of the 3350 casualties and captures suffered by the Canadians
 These losses tragic indeed but it is much better that the initial experiment at invasion of the French coast was on small scale The lesson to be learned by the various armchair strategsts" who have been demanding a second front "at any cost" is that continental invasion not venture to be rushed into without the utmost care in planning.
 At this distance, it would appear that the Allied command might have done better had the German gun supplements been reduced by dive-bombine attack before the troops essayed a landing This would have sacrificed the element of surprise which proved to be lacking anyhow. But this is second guessing, and if such conclusions obvious at this distance, we may be very sure that they evident to the military men the scene.
 When it comes, the Allied invasion of Europe probably will be preceded by pulverzing air attack which will deny to the Nazs second opportunity to sit in the safety of their Qualifications and shoot the attacking troops like many pigeons the beaches.

Madness as a War Weapon
tNeW York TimeS)

As information about the fighting habits of the Japanese accumulates, in this country can begin to understand what the Chinese have been up against and New Guinea tell of lone Japanese refusing quar- ter; of Japanese killing their wounded to keep them from falling into the hands of the enemy. Former Ambassador Grew warns us that the Japa- soldier lis clever and dangerous enemy, one who will compel to use all the intelligence and all the strength of which capable in order to bring about his defeat"
 This is one side of Japanese character, and It is not wholly discreditable Another side, familiar since the sack of Nankng, brought home by the treatment of European prisoners in recent months, Kiangs, the Chinese Southeastern Provinces which have recently been largely reconquered by the Chung king armies. There, says a Chinese correspondent, the invaders made of rich flourishing country a human hell, gruesome graveyard where the only living thing for miles a skeleon-like dog, who fled in terror before our approach" They did this in their retreat They killed civilians in the towns and pursued them into the hills to kill of them there. The stink of death hung over the whole countryside.
 The kind of madness may make man formidable in battle and also a pitiless butcher of the unarmed and weak. From this kind of mad ness the Japanese are suffering. It down to denial of the value of any individual life ones own or anothers Its only inconsistency is that in Japan in Germany, the madness is carefully in- cucated in the multitude by rulers who take the utmost pains to save their own precious skins.

He was the original mana ger of the Arctic Circle Explora- tion Company operating near Can- dle a number of years ago nd later became interested in Nome Mines, Incorporated.

RUSSIANS REBUFFED

EXAMPLE NO. 2: The Kellogg Company (which though a member of Universal Oil Products to some extent competes with it did not sell the cracking plant to Japan. But one year later, on January IA, l94l, it received a signed letter from Russian representatives in the United States ordering S35 ,000, 900 of aviation gasoline plants.
 These were to be transported to Russia and set up in safe" areas, Apparently the Russians already figured they would be attacked by Hitler and feared loss of their Cau- casian oil.
 Before closing the deal, however Frank Johnson, vice president of Kellogg went to Washington and consulted with the State Depart ment He came back with this ad- vice:
 The State Department doesn't want the Russians to know it is blocking the deal, but it says we cannot sell the plants. They want

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do rot compel"
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8

l l 1OfOODAI oN1 ODEIO
 Benefic aspects appear to dom- mate today. It is fortunate planetary government for all whC bear heavy responsibilities. Tn { President and his closest associates should benefit.
 HEART AND HOME: Neighbor- hood social events will become pop ular as dimouts add to the hazards of evening transportation. Interest in new books will supplant devo- tion to bridge and again poetry will be read and discussed. Cook ing will become a much cultivated art to which necessary economies will add interest. Simple diet will replace former feasts. By the end of this month events will bring close to American hearts the full meaning of war.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: With Sa- turn and Uranus influence in the house of finance, changes in busi- ness methods may be expected. Re- strictions will be necessary in cer- tain lines of manufacturing and for a long period the American free-for-all competition and choice of enterprise will be affected by Government limitations. Despite real handicaps to many lines of trade. prosperity will continue and plenty of money will continue in circulation. Investment in Govern ment bonds will be encouraged by means of drastic regulations.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: By means of the draft many men hitherto on deferred lists will be added to the armed forces. Criticism of the broad scope of the mobilization of our manpower will be encouraged by fifth column agencies. Warning is given that within the ranks and among uniforms worn by officers there will be discontent that is carefully fomented. True patriotism now will be of paramount impor- tance, for the stars certainly pres- age exigencies that must be met by supreme sacrifice
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS By the end of this month even the least serious American will have reason to devote energies to war needs. Desperate situations will confront United Nations forces on certain fronts as Hitler speeds the race to beat the obstacles tn a { winter brings. Alaska and Iceland come under planetary influences of greatest significance Cold weather will come earlier than usual ir many parts of Russia where brave defenders of their country will sus- tain severe experiences.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of i'm. proved income and added benefits Caution should guide in all finan. cial transactions.
 Children born on this day prob. ably will be studious and thought. ful. They may be intensely ambi. tious and willing to win success al lany cost.

representatives in New York that the deal was off, and that their S20000 would be returned
 No, you keep the money, we have a contract was the Jap re- ply We know you want to Keep gasoline secrets from us," the Jap continued, but look"
 He took out a thick booklet marked Imperial Japanese Navy" and showed on page 1O6 the know how" or carefully guarded trade secrets for making aviation gaso- line belonging to the Kellogg Com pany, Shell and Universal Oil Pro ducts.
 Where did you get this?" asked the amazed Cooke.
 We pay $700000 to Universal Oil Products Company in Japan" was the reply.
 Note. Universal Oil Products Company is patent pool owned by Standard Oil of New Jersey, Stan- dard Oil of Indiana, the Texas Company and M w. Kellogg Com pany, the same group which also negotiated the synthetic rubber deal with the Nazis and which now is the chief beneficiary of the Jesse Jones contracts for synthetic rubber factories.

us to say we're too busy with other work"
 This was what Kellogg represen- tatives told the Russians but the latter were skeptical. They spent an hour quizzing the Kellogg peo- pie, trying to find out if it wasn't the State Department which really had blocked the deal.
 So today you can understand why the Russians are still suspici- ! ous.
 i Note. Bernard Baruch criticised the fact that Jesse Jones never se- cured Russia's secret formula for synthetic rubber, even though the Russians offered it. But Baruch didn't disclose the reason for Jones failure, namely that the Russians asked for the 'know-how' on cracking aviation gasoline in re- turn for their rubber information and the big oil companies dickered over the royalties.

 BEE FEEDING
 Tn order to determine the number of pounds of sugar to be allowed for any period for feeding bees multiply the number of colo nies of bees to be fed during the calendar year by 10 and multiply the product by the quotient obtained after dividing the number of weeks during which the bees fed with in the period for which the application is made by the total number of weeks such bees fed during the full calendar year and that the bees fed during five weeks of the year. two of which in the period for which the application is made, the pro- visiOnal allowance will be determined fol- lows: 50xl0x2-3 equals 200"
