building materials he has been I'M
able to remove from the airport
site one complete house and several
truckloads of pine logs and miscel-

Mr.. Fisher said he bought salvage

WAR BONDS - WAR JOBS

Two events of great significance to all of US
will take place this coming Sunday IN Detroit. A
committee headed by Senator Diggs is calling mass
meeting of our jobless citzenry in public effort
to challenge these industraists who hold billions Of
dollars of war contracts and who pursuing an
employment policy of prejudice as usual" Wash
ington has warned the nation that business as
usual" must go, and we insist that prejudice as
usual" must end in order that this nation might be
preserved. Imagine American boys dying at the front
for lack of better and equipment and our trained
workers here at home begging for chance to sup
ply their need.
Another committee headed by Charles Mahoney
is cooperating with Frank Isbey and his workers
in staging mammoth war bond rally at Olympia
where celebrated Negroes will do their part for
Uncle SAM Besides being the soundest investment
of which we know United States war bonds are pro-
viding the government with the cash to keep our
country free. 1t is our unquestioned duty to buy
these war bonds to the very limit of our ability We
are proud that so many of our business firms and
small merchants have already invested heavily IN
these bonds. We are confident that next Sunday
under the impetus of the special program at Olympia,
every one of US who possibly can will demonstrate
their faith in this democracy by record purchase
of these bonds.
We cannot refrain from pointing out, however,
that if the committee which is interested in securing
Jobs for idle workers is successful the drive for the
increased purchase of war bonds will meet with
greater reward. We must tell the world that preju
diced employers sabotaging the war effort and
limiting the participation of our people in this great
struggle for freedom Nevertheless, those of us who
can must purchase these war bonds which help
provide the money for these new war contracts and
demonstrate thereby that we, more than ever, de-
serve greater job opportunities.

RED-BAITING

However much we may agree or disagree with
the social philosophy of Russia and the Communist
ideoogy it seems to us the crueest effrontery for
great publisher like John S. Knight of the Detroit
Free Press to devote his talents to redbaiting at
time when the fate of America depends directly upon
the will and stamina of the Soviet Republic. Millions
of Russians are dying upon the battefieds of Europe
in order to stop the Nazi menace to our own way
of life and SNUG little profteer has the nerve to
attack President Roosevelt for committing the sem
tence of Earl Browder.
Mr.. Knights left-handed slap at the Reds places
him in the company of Westbrook Pegler, Gerald K.
Smith and other intellectual degenerates who do not
have the honesty to tell the world that they have
been telling lies about Russia for the last 20 years.
Russia has earned her right for respect in one of
the greatest tests nation has ever known, and it
is high time few pg-heads in swivel chairs would
admit it.
Mr.. Knight editoriazed Sunday thus Most Of
us have no desire to pick up any Soviet fleas by
crawling into the same bed with the providers" We
believed that this unwarranted abuse is unworthy of
an honest publisher who constantly pirates about his
love for America. We hope that Mr.. Knight will
never have any occasion to pick up any Naz fleas
by crawling into bed with Hitler.

ROBERT HAYDEN

The place of art in our daily life has long been
subject of controversy in our land which has won
abroad the reputation of being nation of machines
without soul. In time of war the place of art
would appear more precarious than ever. But we
believe that that is surface judgment 1t is often
the artist who opens the eyes of the multitude to a
true appreciation of the ends for which wars are
waged The issues of internal strife are often made
clear by work of art and many who will not follow
long line of argument may catch through the eyes
of the artists great truth. Art may also inspire
and implement the will of the people who understand.
We are proud that we have among u.s. artists
who are able to bring greater meaning to our strug-
giles and can interpret for us issues and strengthen
our will. Last week one of Detroits most notable
