The Negro Wants Work

ONE OF THE MOST PERSISTENT QUESTIONS now

And recent weeks has aroused such widespread
and sometimes bitter discussion in the South have the
efforts the part of the War Production Board to further
ntegrate the Negro workers of the South into the War
Production Program.
Becoming intensified during the recent meeting of the
Presidents Committee Fair Employment Practices in
Birmingham, Alabama, and the subsequent remarks of
Mr. Mark Ethridge the subject be said that the
discussion has reached point of elimination in the
remarks of Governor Dixon of Alabama in rejecting
government contract in which there appeared anti
discrimination clause
With the all important issue is the full utilization
OF the nations in meeting the production de-
mand needed for successful prosecution of the and
ultimate victory the Axis Powers ia discussions of
the question of fuller negraton of the Negro workers

segregation additionally interpreted hive been repeated

that with the Negro the question of the separation of the
races. lin all things purely Social, pointed out by
Booker T. Washington, and long thought by the Ne
groes of the South being acceptable to his white breth

So What the Negro of the South wants is simply WORK
The opportunity to get better with better out
of the millions of jobs being created to enable him
to do his share in the nations efforts by buying War
Bonds and Stamps and to better enable him to provide
food clothing and shelter for his family in the face OF
the mounting cost of living.
And in asking jobs and the opportunity to work

Troops in the South In immediate
contact with white troops at a time
when race feeling among the Ne

letter to Marshall said.
Senator Bankhead then suggest
ed that If Negro soldiers must be
trained in the South "as a result
of social or political pressure,
can't you place Southern Negro

Chang Makes Plea
For 10Pct. Of u, :.
Equipment Output
Chinese Army Would Give
100 Pct. Desired Results,
GeneruIissimo Declares

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 1.-General-
issimo Chang Kai-shek pledged
yesterday that given 40 per cent Of
the equipment put out in America,
the Chinese Army will give you 100
per cent Of the desired results"
Speaking from Chungking on the
Army Hour program carried by
the National Broadcasting Co.,
China's leader said, while morale
is important, 1t is not sufficient in
itself to win the fight for final vic
tory. 1t must be supplemented by
mechanized equipment. MechaniZed
equipment by itself cannot win.
Morale and equipment combined
spell final victory"
The Chinese commander in chief,
whose speech was translated by his
American educated wife, declared
that victory can readily be seen
when we consider how much the
American Volunteer Group Of the
Chinese Air Force has been able to
do with limited resources"
Declaring he wished ito point out
an insidious piece of enemy propa-
ganda to the effect that China
means for America to win the war
for her" Gen. Chang said:
China has always and will con-
tinue to fulfill its obligations. In
the past she stood by the common
cause. She does not hesitate now
nor will she hesitate in the future.
China has survived five years be-
cause she has continually adhered
to certain moral principles. We
know that further resistance is pos
sible, and our faith in America Is
unshaken. We know that we are
equally certain of ultimate success.
With one purpose, We shall fight
shoulder to shoulder to win free
doom and assure victory"
Gen. Chang said China was con-
vinced the principles of the Atlantic
charter were not empty diplomatic
phraseology."
I'm my mind" he said, these
principles should be applied not
only to America and Europe, but to
all peoples and races, so that free
dom, justice and equality shall reign
throughout the world"

To Fill I Billion
Gap in War Goal

WASHINGTON, May % (INS).
With tax proposals so far APP
proved falling more than $1,000
100000 short of treasury requests,
the House ways and means COM
mittee today again turned its at
tention to a general sales tax in an
effort TO reach the S8,700,000, 600
war revenue goal set by President
Roosevelt.
In an unusual night session. the
committee heard treasury tax ex-
perts reiterate their opposition TO
any form of general sales tax
either retail, wholesale or manu-
facturers.
The staff of experts, headed by
Randolph Paul, tax consultant
for Treasury Secretary Morgen-
THAI. outlined the difficulties Of
administration which would face
the treasury should such tax be
voted by the committee and APP
proved by Congress.
Representative Doughton Cd Of
North Carolina. chairman of the
House committee, said after the
meeting that the sales tax discus
tions would continue today
