low-Amerleans.
The first stages Of this tickor-
ing with Mr., Henderson came short
ly after he was appointed hy the
President and confirmed hB the
Senate as Price ear for America
for the duration of his war. At
that time Mr.. Brown inquired as
to lis plan for wide participation

the program. 1t took a mass meet
ing, held here some few Sundays
ago, followed by appropriate pub
licisy and resolutions Of protest
to the President and the Congress

Underneath all Of these fac
tors in this equation there lies a
grave ques ion; Why Must we,
American Negroes, file petitions

country we helped to build and
make progressive?
Unless and until this question
can be answered intelligently tN

AN ILLOGICAL EXCUSE, BUT BETTER THAN

Negro editors and leaders are accused Of taking an
advantage of an emergency and preaching subVersVe
doctrine today, when they show evidence of Americas
short comngs and unfair treatments of the minority
group, and plead for fair play.
Just how the Negro be accused Of taking an ad-
vantage Of an emergency by asking for fair play in Amer
for all its citizens subjects, would be the better word
and less resentment, for in certain sections Of
America it is crime to refer to Negroes citizens? If
fair play had been practiced in America chances
would not be facing emergency; chances that
Hitler would have never obtained the idea that
tain people should rule others and spreaded his terror
to prove it, If fair play could be displayed in America
today without mythical tolerance and all subjects could
actually be referred to and treated citizens would
have national unity and dsapprove Hers theory that
nracticed by the kkks in short order and again
flag could land of Democracy and the whole
of America could join in and sing the National Anthem
in full without the Negro stopping at the line of Where
our fathers died"
The Negro is subversve when he talks of unfair
treatment accorded him it is claimed by many Just how
the Negro be subvesve when he tells the truth of his
conditions and the unAmerican principles pracced
him? If subversiveness is in Order would it be more
subverse practice American activities than it would
be to repeat them after they have been practiced?
This looks like illogical to keep from cor
recng evils The Negro thus far has proven he is more
interested in America than most, and is using every
method plausible peaceabe get the powers that be
to correct these evils before enemies of America take
the truth and draw all outlying support away from her
that at present is on the verge of cooperating
These problems that cannot be solved by illogical
excuses Our problems in America must be corrected for

ing unfriendly schemes for holding

There is no need for this filth.
There are many eontributory
factors that have lei to this con
dition:
!. Lax enforcement of the law.
2. Minors in establishments sell
ING beer and wines.
3, Late hours being kept by
teen-age girls, unchaperoned.
4, Truaney children in shows,
and joints all day long and
during school hours.
Statutory otfenses are commit
ted with impunity. Contributory
delinquency is common. Very few
eases are prosecuted. Prostitu-
ton also is taking its toll in d.
seased youth, Something must be
done to curb this trend of our
youth towards complete degener-
acy.
Grown-ups are equally as guilty
Of all the otfenses mentioned be-
fore. They are setting an ex-
ample ef iniquity that is being
mimieked by the younger genera

people who have retained their
