TO SPEED UP INDUCTIONs

WASHINGTON = CAMP - An-
swering all questions as to the
slowness of sending Negroes into
the army, it is believed the war
department plans to increase the
quotas of Negroes for the last six
months of the year. This period
will see the induction of the larg-
est number of Negroes yet taken
into the army. Lack of facilities
was given as the primary cause for
the failure to bring them into the
service, however, this condition
has been remedied,

thus throwing an obstruction into
the nations about war production
program. And they are hamstring-
ing the war effort deliberately by
| destroying the morale of one
tenth of the nations citizens.
No matter how loyal citi-
zen might be, question is
quickly raised in his mind when
doors, through which others
are admitted, are constantly
being slammed in his face. He
begins to wonder if his country
| really wants his services, his
money, the sacrifice of his
blood.
The best example of how discrim-
ination serves to destroy the
morale of its victims was shown
the other day when the writer had
occasion to visit a Fulton County
Ga, Selective Service Board. There
were several Negroes and white
men there to get information
about their draft status. All knew
that sooner or later they would
be called upon to fight for their
country. All would share equally in
the risk of their lives for the
cause OF freedom. All should have
received equal and unbiased treat
ment.
TOLD TO STAND
But, an employee of the board,
apparently had not been told Just
what we are fighting this war for.
At his direction the white men
were called into the office, given
seats. The Negroes were rudely
told to stand waiting in the CORR
dor.
That single act, more than
anything a foreign agent could
have done, served to dampen
the patriotic ardOr of these
black men. That act, multi
piled by thousands of others
to which black Americans are
subjected daily, does more than
anything else to smash the
Negroes fervent hope that out
Of this war must come long
awaited social justice.
1t is on those Americans who
persist in practicing rank, racial
discrimination that the charge of
subversive activity must be hung.
1t is they who block the war effort
and stir up resentment in the
hearts of additionally loyal black
men. They are the saboteurs who

1t has been true in every war. It
is the natural conclusion reached
by those who suffer from a guilty
conscience.
MOST MISTREATED
The conclusion, they believe. is
reached by logical argument. Who
is the most mistreated group in
America? they probably ask them
selves. The Negro. Who receives
less benefits from the American way
of life than any other group O.
citizens? The Negro. Whose econo-
mic status is lower than anybody
elses because of the last hired.
first fired formula? The answer
is still the Negro.
So, they conclude, who would,
before anybody else, love to
see some changes made? And
their consciences, not any sub
versive acts of Negroes. fur
niSh the answer. The Negro.
Nowhere is this belief that Ne
groeS bear watching so widespread
as it is in the Deep South. It is
doubtless hangover from pre-
Emancipation days when the great
fear of the plantation owners was
a revolt Of the slaves, ending in
massacre of their owners.
SOUTHERNERS' FEAR
And too, white Southerners.
though they may not admit it, feel
that Negroes, SO long the victims
of cruel political and economic ex-
ploitation, actually have nothing
that would inspire them to fight
