wrongs and indignities we have
suffered. But we fight knowing that
this struggle will unite and edu-
cate our people-all the people
unite them and educate them for a
fuller and better democracy after
the war. Not for what America has
been to US, Charles, but what we,
the people, can make of America.
Our job in this crisis, Charles,
is clear before us. First-we must
break down our attitude of defeat
ism. Talk against it. We are men
we are human beings. DEMAND
to be treated as such. Do not cringe
and beg for your rights as citizens.
These are yours and mine. Second
organize a study club-join a
national organization like the Ma
tiOnal Negro Congress or the
N. A. A. C. P. Only in unity is
there strengthened such unity
and strength gains respect. Third
cooperate - with labor unions
and other organizations. We are
the people. The preservation of our
democracy lies in OUR hands. The
betterment and perfection Of our
democracy is our job after the war.
Above all, Charles, put first
things first-win the war, then win
the peace, for all the people.

Answers Charles
Beusley's Letter

Editor: I would like to answer
the letter of three weeks ago by
Charles Beasley which appeared in
this column. He asked a logical
question: What are we fighting
fOr?" In answering his own ques-
ton, negatively, he supplied some
of the reasons showing why we
Negroes have nothing for which to
fight. But of most tragic signifi-
canoe was the tone of utter deiec-
ton and beaten hOpelessness
throughout his letter. It is the de-
featist attitude with which far too
many of our young men view the
world crisis today.
We know well the story of our
mistreatment. All of it is in the
records. Yes, even the lynching re-
Gently in Missouri-the race riot
at Fort Bragg-and many more.
We know today as we did five
years ago that our great battle is
to win full democracy for II mil
lion black Americans.
But now the world is at war.
Now-times are different-war de-
stroys the patiently built work of
many years of peace. War also
brings great and revolutionary
changes. In short, our situation is
this: It is mandatory that we fight
and support our government in
winning the war. We do this
knowing we fight for imperfect
democracy-knowing full well the

One of the finest customs of
civilized man is to keep constantly

greener pastures. One of the most
convenient and appropriate ways to

of "1n Memoriam" in your news
paper.
We have a large variety Of ap-
propriate and beautiful verses for
such cards. Prices for insertion are
nominal. Call Midway sS4O. Miss

Re-Hurnessing Ourselves

Editor: If we were horses or
mules, re-harnessing wouldn't be a
difficult task. For all that would
be necessary to do, if we had
grown larger or smaller would be
either to let out the girdle a hole
or two or take it up. The style,
form, and pattern for these ami
mails remain the same. But for
people and most everything else
must undergo evolutionary changes.
Where there is no vision, the peo-
pie perish says the Bible. Also
one may add, where people fail to
adapt themselves or change their
habits they, too, perish.
For an instance, our politics
must be sOcialized SO that they will
serve all the people. Our religious
teachings must be that of the sal
walton Of man here and now and
