Axis Tells Brazilians, u. S.
Negroes Still In Slavery

iii where one fourth of the 45,000.-
600 inhabitants are Negroes. The
Axis is spreading accounts of ra-
cial violence in North America.
It circulates word-of-mouth re-
ports Of lynchings and violence
against Negro soldiers, to illus
trate its contention that while the
Brazilian Negro enjoys complete
freedom, his fellow Negro in the
U. 8. is still a slave and the abo-
lition of slavery after the Civil
War was only formal act.
Brazilians are told that Pan
Americanism would mean slavery
for the black race in that country.
It is reported that a large num-
Der of Negroes in Brazil have, as
a result, gone over to the Fascist
"Acao Integralista."
In the Far East, too, Japanese
have been using the same tech
nique to destroy confidence in the
British and Americans.

Governor Langlie is having a
tough time finding a director for
the department of social security.
It isn't that he doesn't want some
one to take over the job, for it is
known that he has offered the post
to three or four men who have
declined the honor with thanks.
The kind of men the governor
wants for this job can't afford to
take it, and the men who have
sought the position are the kind
of men the governor can't afford
to have in his official family. If
the office were elective, as GER

White Mans War?
Reprint from Time Magazine

In Philadelphia, Negro Harry
Carpenter was held for treason
when he told a Negro Army SER
geant, This is a white mans war
and it's no damn good"
Negroes have fought ably in
every u. S. war since the Revolu-
ton. In the Civil War, the Union
had 10000 black soldiers under
arms. But when the first Negro
leader, Frederick Bailey Douglass,
asked why they were paid less
than white soldiers, President Lin
coin temporized. Negroes should
be glad they could serve at all,
said Mr.. Lincoln. They had more
to fight for than any white man.
Since World War I, the Negroes
status as a U. s. fighting man
has gone backward. Of the 1,078,-
331 Negroes registered for the
draft in World War I, more than
$40 were drafted (less than 27%
of the white men registered were
taken). Some 100000 Negroes
served as soldiers-101o of the
whole army. The $4,000 Negro
troops the Army expects to have
at the end of 1912 will come to
$50 of the u. s. armed froces in
World War II.
Some of the best u. S. soldiers
in 1917-18 were black troops. The
famed 18th Infantry (now the seth
Coast Artillery from Harlem stay
ed longer under fire (191 days)
than any other regiment, yielded
no prisoners, gave up no ground,
suffered casualties of 4016. Negro
veterans still grin deightedy when
they recall the Battle of Henry
Johnson" in which a pint-sized
onetime Red Cap from Albany, N
Y. killed, wounded and routed a
part yof rs Germans singlehanded
Barred Gates. In spite of the
shortage of skilled labor, black
citizens are unwelcomed in many
war industries. AS the war boom
got going last year, President Asa
Philip Randolph of the Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters plan
ned to forestall discrimination ir
