Police Brutality
Known TO People

The brutality OF japanese po-
lice, both military and civil. has
become we'll established. Almost
every year in Parliament the rep
resentatives of the people IN the
Lower House expose amazing
third-degree methods applied 10
Japenese citizens.
A japanese policeman has no
numbered badge and no immedl-
ate means of Identification other
than a name card. Foreigners. as
a result, are reluctant TO accept
the authority of this introduction
and consider most policemen as
inposterS. particularly those IN
plain clothes.
Many times in my contacts
with them l have asked japanese
police officials why they do not
have badges with numbers, as is
the custom in other countries.
This, I suggested put the officer
on better behavior, as he could be
readily identified and reported for
any misconduct or overambitiouS
and extra legal activities. Especl-
ally. this would be effective IN
bribery eases.

WASHINGTON, D. C.~The ter
rible seriousness of this World war
No. 2 has brought with it many
new anxieties, hopes, fears, and,
Increasingly, many new duties
and responsibilities, These, added
to the normal exactions OF every
day life, have served further to
complicate the already turbulent
completely OF American existence
The Negro element, along with
other groups, has faced these new
impacts with resolute courage and
determination. 1t has not shirked,
or faltered; instead it has requested
and continually demanded larger
and larger shares Of participation
in every effort to serve the cause
OF civilization and the preservation
Of the principles and ideals Of our
government.
The Cross Road Of Destiny
It has sensed an undenied fact:
our country is at the cross-rosd
Of destiny, and the outcome is as
meaningful TO them as 10 any other
citizen Of the nation.
The future OF the government is
as dear to the Negro element as
to any other. The members there
Of have faith and confidence in
that future which they earnestly
hope and pray will definitely con-
Germ itself with the general well
fare of all the people of our land.
While extending the boundaries
Of democratic practice to other
nations of the world our govern
ment is being inexorably committed
10 programs which call for greater
recognition OF the dignity OF man
hood, and a freer acceptance OF the
Inclusion OF all our people in the
privileges, opportunities, and the
worthily-won rewards OF our coun-
try.
A Defect In Our Democracy
1t was recognition of funda-
mental defect in our present de-
mocracy that led 10 Republican
National committee at its recent
meeting to squarely face an issue
OF pressing importance, affecting
the present life of Negro citizens
in the United States. 1t declared:

For years now many Of the larger
cities have concentrated on a Com
munity Fund drive from which to
meet the expenses of the larger num-
Der of drives for this, that and the
other objects and that range towns are
talking a "War Chest" drive to get
funds to take care of demands made
during these times when much is
needed to carry on. While a war
chest would be a fine thing, in talking
it over with some of the principal
donators expected to put up for every
thing that comes along, they ex-
pressed the opinion that big drive
would only reach the same few for a
much larger amount, while the indi-
yidual drive for worthy objects will
get something out of those who would
not enter into a war chest movement
The business and professional man has
no steady income and he would be
expected to raise the chest funds IN
this case, the same as now. 1t has
come to the point when some group
desires to make a showing to their
credit, they pass the hat among the

Remember Pearl Harbor

Now that Earl Browder is out Of
Jail, she is preparing to take his
place in the great war effort to weld
unbreakable national unity under the
Commander in Chief for victory in
the war;" Fourteen months ago, just
before Browder started serving
four-year sentence for passport fraud,
he and his fellow Communists were
doing everything possible to sabotage
the American rearmament program.
From a White House statement ex-
planning that President Roosevelt's
communication of PROVIDERS sentence it
is learned that it will have ten
dency to promote national unity and
allay any feeling that may exist in
some minds that sentence was imposed
as a penalty because of his political
views. The Cleveland Plain Dealer
ventures the opinion that PROVIDERS
release will not have the slightest
effect on the promotion of national
unity but is more likely to result In
spreading the belief that influential
members of the administration are
sympathetic to Communism. The
Plain Dealer also says: "Now that he
is out of prison, the best contribution
Browder could make to the war effort
would be to keep his mouth shut and
stay out of sight"

UNIVERSAL SERVICE.

For more than twenty years the
American Legion has advocated uni
versal CONSUMPTION of men and indus
try for universal service in the de-
Tense of the country. Bills have been
up before congress several times and
always have been sidetracked. Since
the war started, there have been
those who criticized the Legion and
it has been claimed that they laid
down in the matter. Mike Murray,
Legion national committeeman from
Minnesota says:
Universal service seems to be the
victim of the run-around. I found that
out at Indianapolis on May first. ]
had a preview of it at Milwaukee last
September.
"We are being told that there are
bills in congress which cover the sub
ject as we have known it. I contend
that they do not I contended this
at Indianapolis several of the
past national commanders, who had
much to do with it during their ad-
ministrations, have agreed.
"We fought for universal service
over the years to take the profit out
of war; to make blood as precious as
property; to prevent racketeering
sabotage and treason.
always we were told that We never
could get our act across during the
days of peace, because both industry
and labor opposed it. We were told
however, by astute members of con-
gress that during war we would have
a good chance.
"Now I realize that we have taken
it on the chin on this subject for 9
long time But that is no reason why
we should be punch drunk. We should
not accept what might be called safe
or harmless substitutes.
"That is what we are getting now
In presenting this article to clarity
the general situation I have no desire
TO get into controversy with anyone
I do think, however, the boys who
are going out to defend the American
system ought to have our best efforts
not only in the grim BUSINESS of win
ming the war, but also to preserve thi:
society for them when they return
home.
"We are now being fed a few
sugar-coated pills on universal serv-
ice. There may be some measures ur
which are worth while but not g
single measure that is now before the
congress prescribes the general es-
sentials of universal service"
