Up in Cambridge Mass, employees Of the Sen

These oren't just smart slogans They are sincere
expressions of the spirit with which most American
workmen are responding to the production crisis
Is is easy to sit comfortably the sidelines and
cheer. Puns and wise cracks sometimes ore the re-
course of those who can't produce But these and hum
dreds of equally opt cotchphroses have come from the
hearts Of men who, since June Of 1882 have helped
to multiply our war goods output almost Z times.

rate Of more than $4,000, 900 worth doy-twice

We are turning out artillery and onti-tonk guns

We can be proud of these figures They represent
manufacturing achievement such as notion in

Yet Donald Nelson, telling Of them, warns that
too much Boosting about production progress is pre-
mature The biggest port Of the job is still ahead"
That is because we started SO Iote SO slowly, SO

Americans Also Think With Their Blood

Few American whites realize
with what bitterness the Negro
tenth of the nation thinks about
it's relation to the war. 1t has be-
come rare indeed to find a Negro
who does not regard the democrat
ic purposes proclaimed in the ma
tional war aims as compound of
hypocrisy and deception. Nothing
that has happened so far, however,
hasdeepened the Negroes bitterness
as much as the dispute with the
Red Cross over Negro gifts of
blood for the block bank which Is
being built up for the armed fore
es. The refusal of the navy to
accept Negro recruits except as
kitchen menials, the segregation
policy of the army, the discrim-
nations practiced against Negro
workers in defense industries all

Have You a Lost Or

Policy?

THE NATIONAL INSURANCE
RESEARCH GIL, 1927
SMITH TOWER, SEATTLE, has
performed many useful services
for persons who have lapsed or
lost life insurance in their families.
The service consists of investiga-
ton of policies, which have been
dropped, to determine values in
them. Whether or not the insured
person is living or has passed on
makes n Difference in their eff
fort. In case there are no values
found to exist in the policies all
papers are returned with no
charge. In case values are deter
mined to be in the policies a rea-
sonable charg is made for the
service.
Insurance has been obtained by
the interested persons on insured
individuals long disappeared and
in policies long lost.
Over a period of several years
several thousand lapsed policy
holders have been benefited by
reliable servic by this concern.

these have been bad enough. But
the rejection of Negro offers of
blood proved the f:ral straw. For
weeks after this rejection became
known the Negro community
seethed with Indignation. Under
this pressure the Red Cross is
now trying to undo the harm al
ready done. It has announced that
from now on it will accept blood
gifts from Negro donors. But these
are to be segregated, and used on
ly for Negro troops. 1t is ad-
mitted that there Is no scientific
excuse for such policy; it is
simply concession to American

and Negroes know it. Think with
