1907 Americans Despite
Abuse
Seattle, Washington.

Seattle, Washington.
December Fl, 1871.
Editor: Please put this in your
paper. After reading in your paper
of the five Minneapolis men who
wanted to enlist in the country's
armed forces and were refused be-
cause they were Negroes, l, as a
1000 American born white man, it
is to me, I don't know what to
think. They scream over the radio
all must do their share. Naturally
the colored people, who are really
more patriotic to America if l do
say so, than any other race. That
no one can deny. Who was the first
man to fall in the Revolutionary
War defending his country? If you
don't know, it was Crispus Attacks,
a colored man. During the Civil
War they fought and during the
Spanish American War, tn ey
fought and in the first World War
they fought. They are mistreated
and that we can't deny, but with
all the abuse that has been heaped
upon them, they still are 1000
Americans. They are not allowed
to vote under the Geyer Poll Tax.
They are barred from most eating
places, but still when they see
their country, the U. S. A., they
still love it and will and have died
for it. 1 am in position to see
what is going on out here. I have
watched the Boeing Airplane fac
tories, the Todd Shipyards, the
Government Shipyards at Bremen
ton, across from Seattle, and
around Seattle and few colored
people also work there.
The first time a stitch was put
in a human heart, it was done by
a colored man; the first stitcher
for shoes was invented by colored
man and, of course, we have all
heard of Doctor Carver, one of the
second greatest men outside of
Luther Burbank in their line.
Now what 1 can't understand is
this. All races come here from OPP
pressed countries and came to
America without a seat in their
pants and after being here and are
successful they want the same law
enacted here on colored people as
they themselves ran away from in
their country. We see in the paper
and hear on the radios that all
must do their part. All right then,
the Negro people get patriotic and
want and try and will do their
part. But how are they to do it,
if not given the chance? The only
race today in the United States

Accord on SfabiIizing
Food Cost Reached by
Wickard and 0.P. A.
Steps to Assure Abundant
Supplies for All Pledged
In Joint Statement
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Nations farmers heard
straight from headquarters to-
day that the war boom in the
market for their products has
gone about as far as the Agricul-
ture Department and the Office
of Price Administration will per-
nit.
Leon Henderson, the price ad-
ministrator. and Secretary of Agri-
culture Wickard disclosed yesterday
they were in complete agreement
that the cost OF living should be
stabilized.
The Agriculture Department will
do its part by using Government
owned stocks of grains and cotton
ito supplement private stocks and
by keeping feed prices at levels
which will encourage production of
meat and livestock products.
The price administrator will re-
ciprocate by bearing down on the
prices of things farmers buy.
The joint statement did not dis
close how high they planned to let
farm prices go, bat Secretary Wick
ard, provided a clue Saturday when
he told theSenate Agriculture Com
mittee he thought around parity"
would be about right.
Parity is a price which would give
farm products the same purchasing
power as they had in a stipulated
previous period-for most crops, the
years 1909-l4.
Farm prices averaged 102 per
cent OF parity as of January IS, the
Agriculture Department reported.
Some were much higher, some much
lower.
Under the recently enacted price,
control bill the Secretary of Agri-
culture was given veto power over
farm price ceilings fixed by the price
administrator President Roosevelt
was critical of the clause, but signed
the bill into law and yesterday
formally nominated Mr.. Henderson
as administrator.
Thomas Offers Suggestion.
Some farm State lawmakers were
outspoken in their objections to
holding farm prices below ITO per
cent Of parity. Senator Thomas,
Democrat, of Oklahoma, suggested
that the farm bloc undertake to
whittle down future Agriculture
Department appropriations, specif-
ically for subsidy payments, and
thus force reduction in the de-
partment's personnel.
A statement by Mr.. Henderson
and Secretary Wickard explaining
their stand, said in part:

tion, and the Department of Agri-
culture intends to see that every

The farm legislation and the
farm production goals for 1942 have
now placed floors under the farm
prices of all major products at
levels sufficient to protect farmers in
carrying out a great increase in
production. 'ss
The o. P. A. will use its power to
see that prices Of the things that
farmers buy are held down, 50 that
farm production will not be re-
stricted by unnecessarily high pro-
duction costs.
"A high level Of production will
not in all cases be sufficient. Where
prices get out of line, the o. P. A.,
with the advice and assistance of
the department, will establish maxi
mum prices.

protection is afforded all the way

Martin Will Retain
6. 0. p. Chairmanship
During Campaign
Decision Quiets Reports
Of FoctionuI Bottle
For Party Control
By the Associa ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
Representative Martin, Repub-
lican, of Massachusetts, quieted
reports Of an International
struggle for control of his party's
machinery by announcing today
that he intends to retain his post
as Republican national chairman
until after the November con-
gressional elections.
Representative Martin said some
months ago he hoped to step down
as party chieftain early this year in
order to devote all his time to his
duties as House minority leader.
Il have decided to stay on as
chairman. at least through the
November elections" he told re-
porters. II think I owe 1t to the
party to stay at least the rest of the
year."
Representative Martins four year
term as chairman normally would
end at the next Republican Ma
tional Convention. Some infiu-
entail Republicans said his decision
to stay on the job probably would
sidetrack what promised to become
a hot fight for control of the party
machinery.
Hunted for Successor.
Acting on the assumption that
Mr.. Martin wanted to be relieved OF
his duties as national chairman,
some supporters Of Wendell L. Will
ke, the 1910 presidential nominee.
were said to have been casting about
recently for a possible successor.
These Republicans were represent
ed as none too pleased with Mr.. Mar
tins recent appointment of Clarence
B. Kelland. the author. as publicity
director for the National Committee.
feeling that some longtime sup
porter of Mr.. Willkie should have
been rewarded.
Representative Martin said he
planned to call national committee
members together in Chicago,
shortly after April IA Illinois pri-
mary. for a discussion of congress
sional campaign plans. Thirty-four
senatorial seats, including nine held
by Republicans. and all ABS House
seats are at stake in the November
voting.
Won't Make Forecast.
Increasingly chary of predictions.
Representative Martin said he was
not prepared to forecast the out
come Of any of these races. The
only thing he could say, he added,
was that the Republicans would
give a good account of themselves.
On the Democatic front. Edward
j. Flynn, the national chairman.

that he felt that no misfortune
except a major military defeat could
befall this country to the extent in
