They Did, Not Sing
BY Stanley Jones

was talking with the very able
principal of a vocational school
Cor Negroes. He said that he was
worried about his people in this
National crisis. He cited the fol-
lowed incident as the basis of his
worry: II was in a movie theatre
when America was thrown on
the screen. Everybody arose to
sing it. The white people sang
with fervor, but 1 noted the silence
of the Negroes = they did not
sing" What underlay that 81
lence? Apparently the silence
meant that they would let the
whites sing my courty tits of thee
sweet land Of Liberty" for they
could sing it; to them it was my
Country" to them it was Sweet
land of Liberty" But not to the
Negroes. They are on the edges
OF this land of liberty, segregated
and Disseminated against at al
most every point. That inner re-
sentiment ly beneath that silence.
I have heard the Negroes sing
their own National Anthem" and
when they do they make the hea-
vens ring. One verse goes this
way:
God of our weary years
God of our silent tears.
Thou who has led us thus far on
the way,
Thou who has by they might
Led us into the light,
Keep our feet forever in the path
we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places
Our God where we met thee,
Lest drunk with win Of the world
we forget thee,
Swallowed beneath thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land.
They can sing that, for it tells
of struggle for liberty, not yet
found.
Living in a white mans world
We who live in a white mans

master trades. There have been
some startling cases of this dis
elimination against proposed Ne
gro workers by some of the trade
unions. This is especially true of
the South and West.
Any group willing to fight and
If necessary die for their country

not believe that you would find

Pelts and Property Rights

According to the code of the
bandit nations, the pelt of a squir-
rel in tree belongs to any hunter
who has the gun and the skill to
shoot it. But under the stabilized
civilization Of Britain and America
the pelt belongs to the one who
personally or through his ancest-
crs or agents has acquired the
LAND on which the tree shelteffng
the squirrel is growing. Under the
better world we expect when the
hunter and the land owner get
through fighting over who shall
have the pelt, it is predicted that
the furry skin will belong to the
squirrel.

world in world built for us, can
not quite imagine what it means
to live on the edges of that world.
A Negro about to leave the fellow
ship of our Ashram at Blue Ridge
said: For the first time in my
life 1 have lived in society Of
equal privilege without any strain.
Here I have been free, but am
about to step out of this society
Ito a world where I will have to
watch my step, lest I bump
against those invisible wallis" The
white man for the most part, is
utterly unconscious of the exist
ence of any such walls: it is his
world. But the Negro dare not
be unconscious of them: He has
to watch his step or get hurt. A
white man in South Africa said
to me naively, IT don't find So
cjety barrier to my Christian
living. 1 don't feel it thwarts me-"
I replied: ASK the Negro brother
beside you there how he feels
about it. This world is made for
you and not for him." The white
nan was unconscious of those
walls: it was his world. But the
iron had entered the soul of the
black man. Said a Negro teacher
in college in South Africa to me:
'"The only hope can see is that
Europe is arming. They will blow
themselves and their civilization
to pieces, and then our chance will
come" 1t was bitter word, out
of the depths of bitter soul. But
nut yourself in his place before you
blame him. I am quite sure we
would never have been as patient
as they have been.
Why Negroes Are Bitter
Three hundred and forty million
collars are beinb spent in govern
ment contracts in plant at Bal
timore. They are importang labor
from the outside. No Negroes are
being used, can you blame them
if they grow bitter? How can you
expect them to die in defense of
their country when they are ex-
cluded from defense programs :?
DR.. Mordecai Johnson, head of
Howard Unisity, says: my peo-
pie are more discouraged now than
they have been since they were
emancipated from slavery" No
wonder they are discouraged.

The decision in effect elects NAL
lery to the supreme bench.
All eight judges of the court
agreed that Ewing had no right TO
run in November because the law
says that the person receiving the
highest vote and the person get
ting next highest shall run.
Ewing ran third.
After he took first place in the
primary vote. Justice John F. Main,
who did not participate in the
hearing. advised Mrs. Reeves he
declined the nomination. The
supreme court today split four to
four that Main was without legal
right TO decline TO run in Novem-
Der. Had it split five to three.
Mains name would have been with
Msllery's in the coming election
despite his personal wishes
Ewing contended Msllery could
not run alone because he did not
receive a clear majority Of the

only 66,752. The supreme court
dismissed this with the ruling that
Ewing did not get highest or next
