Chicago, Ill, "A new day for
Negro journalism is in the max
ing, That was signaled in the
two-day meeting of the Negro
Newspaper Publishers Association
here last Friday and Saturday.
Reorganization of the Negro
Associated Press is bound to bring
a better eoyerage, and, to increase
the number of services, and add
new features. ! am predicting that
cartoons, syndieated features,
war correspondents, Washington
accredited correspondents, and re-
gional offices will grow out Of
this. Atlanta or Birmingham is
il line for one of the regional OF
fees.
An approach of this kind will, in
the case of cartoons and features,
give Negro artists and noyelists, a
new needed GU let. That is one of
the most encouraging things to be
seen in the new AMP proposal.
It's my learning that the elected
advisory or executive committee
of AMP will become the advisory
committee of Archibald MacLeish
of the Office of Facts and Figur-
es.. That Is vital progressive
step. No group is in better posi-
ton tian newspapermen to advise
on morale propaganda directed to
wards the Negro.
National Negro Newspaper, the
brain child of Moss Hendrix If
Atlanta, Ga, can be made the
medium of advertising Negro
journalism. Gains made by the
Negro press can be pictured Con-
sheraton of improvement could
be suggested during this special
observance. Negro journalism at
ter all is a product that must be
advertised and merchandized. Not
often is this phase stressed, OF
better, net enough.
Trained journalists, or prepared
workers in every department Of the
newspaper must be secured. Meth
er newspaper nor schools, in the
large, have been doing much about
this. Except, let me say, in isol-
ated cases. Few Of the tax-sup-
ported technical, professional, and
trade schools are opened to Ne
gro people. Yet some criticize
the shortcomings" of the mill
tant Negro newspapers.
| rather like the opinion of
Editor Franklin Of the Call who
points out that leaders made by
Negro people, especially the Ne
gro press, too often do nothing,
even when the opportunity is
theirs, to support the Negro press,
| know of men today who have
had tie use of columns in Negro
papers, when others were unavail-
able to them, who now allow their
names to be used by those preach
ing the status quo, a doctrine
which says ''hold the Negro to
the handles" It's brand Of
"black isolationism." That is their
perfect right. But that status
queers are slyly advocating sup
preston of the Negro press, dis
crediting of pro-advancement Ne
gro leadership, and breaking down

Courageous leaders
Washington, June ll-President
Roosevelt has been faced with
many problems Of foreign and do
nestle origin, since the disaster
Gus attack on Pearl Harh0r by
Japan exactly six months age
last Sunday.
or these numerous issues to re-
qaire his attention and speedy
settlement quite a few have oriGi-
mated from the loyal forces Of the
American Negro, Bet in most in
stances, Mr.. Roosevelt has taken
resolute action ON our bedeyied
problems when presented by cour-
ageous leaders,
The NEST recent example of
the Presidents fairness can be
reported with respect to the
matter of getting Negroes plae-
ed on the Office of Price Ad
ministration's 10000 local war
rice and rationing boards.
II was Edgar G. Brown, Ma
tional Negro Council Director,
after n series of behind-the
scenes struggles with Price Ad-
ministrator Leon Henderson,
went to the President for results
in the highly important issue
of Negro participation in the
rationing program.
In a letter to Mr.. Brown, the
Chief Executive announced his
intervention in the proposition
and informed the National Ne
gro Council Director that d.
receives had been sent to the
Oflire Of Price Administrators
to recognize the Negro in every
phase Of that program.
The response of the Admins :?
TRAITOR to the Presidential decree
was quite speedy. For as we GO
to press we note that under the
revised procedure the names Of
several Negroes have been made
phblic for positions on these boards
That this will be an all-inclsive
and nationwide policy can be
measured by the weight of Mr..
Roosevelt's authority over his APP
pointees and the ploicies which
they design for tic people.
Appointments to the local rat
ioning boards, as far as we are
liable to learn, are not completed
and simply represent the areas
of the District of Columbia. Other
selections for positions in this
work can be expected any day.
This signal victory for Mr.
Brown, although one ont of several
can be regarded as a growing re-
spect for our leaders, who are
willing to study the issues of to-
day and launch fight to win
The gains we have made in orr
great struggles in America to fully
participate in its overall affairs,
must not impel us to cease OF pro-
test meetings and formulating

ments, you intend to deprive the nation of the right to decide for it. self freely its definite regime, or if without authorization of parliament you try to draw France into war against our allies--which you your self declared honor borbids', we, by this letter, protest In advance in the name of national sovereignty"
 The letter said Petain had been misled if he believed France would follow him blindly.
 "It tolerates," it said, because 1t cannot do anything else.,"
 The French are ready to accept any sacrifice to repair the national disaster" it continued. "They will accept any necessary discipline, but they will keep their faith in the institutions of liberty.
 Tt is impossible for liberty to die in the country of Its birth from where 1t spread all over the world
 "The great and imminent danger is that liberty cannot be recon quered without those convulsions which, in truth, 1t is your duty to avoid.
 All the time talking union, you have never ceased excluding French men from the French community. You have molested many. You have mutilated municipal assemblies which are the heirs of secular and communal traditions.
 You have wiped out general councils which reflected the wisdom of our provinces and you have sub- stituted men of your own choice.
 "Your pretention now to deprive us of titles which do not depend on you but upon our suffrage cannot reflect our total devotion to France or our attachment to democracy, which we refuse to disavow.

 JEANNENEY." l"

 often as their western. The Japanese were smarting under the loss of prestige in the Solomons and both the American and British publics have reached 8 point of cautious optimism after months of disap- pointing news where the promise of decisive action, even if coupled with mo matter what the sacrifice" i" can only strengthen their deter imitation to take the fight to the enemy.
 They Have Heard Them
 Full use of the dovetailed state ments has been made by American and British propaganda by now, and, regardless of the grave penal ties involved, they will have been heard by millions of persons in Italy, Germany, and the occupied areas.
 In all of these places, whatever Axis propaganda may represent, the United Nations leaders enjoy enor- nous respect and credibility. And these millions of persons will have heard phrases which hitherto were reserved for the exclusive use of Der Fuehrer-the cold threat of force to be launched in a sudden paralyzing blow when, where, and how 1t pleased the aggressor. How often has Hitler used the exact words:
 "SThe blow will fall when, where, and how 1t pleases us!'
 And how often after one of those dramatic meetings between Hitler and Mussolini has, nervous world been told, as it has this time, that complete agreement on military problems has been reached" and that decisions have been taken"
 There is no intention whatever to suggest imitation of methods, for such methods, after all, are funda- mental in politics or in warfare.
 The main point is that the United Nations leaders have taken the psychological initiative away from the dictators. They could never have done it without the military strength to back 1t up and the de- termination to use 1t. That deter imitation may have been inspired by the conviction that Russia's plight, with the added threat of Japanese attack, makes it impera- tive that the decisive blow be struck in the west, and struck soon, first by all out air attacks followed by invasion. But the disclosure that it was coming has furnished an effec- tive prelude.

rates, to raise the same amount.
 Many changes affecting reveue have been made since the tax bill left the House, and no official es- inmates exist of the potential yield of the Senate's current ver- sion.
 Annual Revenue
 Unofficially, however, 1t is esti- mated that the $6,270, ,000,0 900 an- nual revenue total approved by the House has been increased to about $7,670, ,000, ,000 in actual taxes by Sen- ate committee changes, together with provisions for raising about $1, $50 100000 annually in revenue which would be repaid to taxpayers during or after the war. That would mean a bill swelling federal re- ce!pts by about $9,520, ,000,000 to ag- gregate nearly 2S,0O0, 900, 900.
 The Victory" tax, If finally adopted as George proposed 1t, would mean a five per cent levy on all in- dividual incomes in excess of $624 year. Tn the case of wage and sal- ary earners 1t would be deducted from pay envelopes each payday and turned over to the treasury.
 Members of the armed forces, do- mestic and farm laborers would settle with the Treasury themselves at the end of the year.
 The proposal also involves mov- ing ahead the date of filing tax returns two months, from March 15 to Jan. 15, and would apply to di- vidends, interest, rents and royalties. annuities, net profits from business and income from partnerships as well as wages and salaries.
 Rebate Provision
 The 'Victory" tax features a re- bate provision under which the tax payer would receive, after the war, g portion of the tax back. The three types of postwar credit would be allowed:
 For single persons, 25 per cent of the amount of the Victory" tax, with an outside limit of $500.
 2. For married persons, 40 per cent of the amount of the victory" tax, with an outside limit of $1.- 900.
 3. For each dependent, two per- cent, with an outside limit of $10O.
 Up to these limits, taxpayers could credit against the Victory" tax payments of life insurance premiums outstanding as of January l, 1922; payment of debts contracted prior to that date; or purchase of war bonds. If the credit were not used in any of these ways, the taxpayer would receive non-interest bear- ing, non-negotiable bond which he could cash in after the war.

 Nevertheless the Germans were reported to have persisted in a de- mand that the foreign ships ee handed over ct once, on the ground that Germany is the occupying au. tfority in the countries involved. Presumably the Germans were wills Ing to walt q while for the French ships.

Germany followed a day during which American Boston bombers, escorted by fighter planes, smashed at the important French harbors of Cherbourg and Le Havre. The raids were carried out by two separate formations. Two fighters were miss ing.
 Two German bombers were de- stroyed over England last night. Heavy anti-aircraft fire met Luft- waffe raiders scattering flares, bombs, and leaflets over East An- glia and southern England areas during the night. GA broadcast by the official German news agency heard in London said the target of the raids had been important in- stallations in central and eastern England"
 The London radio in it's Dutch- language broadcast last night quoted Swiss reports that the United States would soon smash at Germany with 10000 bombers, cross-flring the raiderse over Ger many from bases in both Russia and England.
 The reports came from the Balser National zeitung, which said the Allied air force now constitutes "an exceptionally dificult opponent for Germany"
