more; he has been actually guilty of treason, so why is it
more confidence is placed in him than in the Negro, when
the Negroes record of loyalty has never carried a blemish-
ed mark?
The Negro isn't showing any ~disloyalty, when he asks
to be deferred. Treason never enters his mind, He has no
love for any other country save his own, He is not yet ready
to ioopardize his future in the hands of others. America is
his home, aud to him, it is dear, and he can boast with
trntl fulness, that there is no one in America today that has
any better record of loyalty than he.
1t is reasonable to admit, that when he asks to be de-
ferred, he is not as determined as he would like to he, And
were the white man to place himself for five minutes in the
category of the Negro. he could clearly understand why the
Negro is not as determined as he once was. Not a week
passes that doesn't bring the Negro news of brutal treat
ment accorded his brothers in kahki, and nothing is done
about it. He knows the parts of the services that are opened
to him are tie toughest spots with very little concern, and
the War Department has proven to him, that irrespective
to his knowledge and determination, he will only be tolerat-
ed to a certain extent, and whatever danger he is placed in,
he can anticipate no protection from them whilej in America.
Therefore, nothing can be anticipated from the Negro save
staying ont of services as long as ne possibly can.
If the determination of the Negro is wanted displayed,
remove the barriers in the Naval service, remove the res
friction in the Air Corps, remove restriction in the Armed
services, open up the Marines without restrictions, open
Americas Defense industries and prove to him that he has
the protection, while in the service, of every other American
soldier. Then you will see SOME ACTION ON THE PART
OF THE NEGRO.

"AGlTATORS AND RADICALS"

Whenever a Negro tells the truth. and it is a disann,ov-
al 10 the White mans way of thinking, the Negro is termed
as radical and if the Negro lies to meet the white mans
approval, he IS termed as a smart Negro" and not in any
manner to satirize. And when the Negro starts , movement
10 better the Negroes conditions, and pleads for fair pIav and
justice ne Is termed as an 'agitator.' But as long as the
negroes content themselves in a community. and accent
without any form of dissatisfaction what the white people
aeal out ~ them, they are considered the best n rs
IN the world" and the white people never let their praise for
them die. N !"
Proof of this can be found, by reading the Arkansas
Gazette, issue of April 9Th, under the heading: "Tbe Ser
want OF me People" Recent agitation of some Little Rock
Negroes tnat a Negro be appointed to the Little Rock po-
nee department and assigned to patrol West 9th Street.
meets with 70 favor from veterans of the department. They
declare that the lawlesS element of the Negroes world not
toserate peIng arrested by a member of their own race and
tnat 10 assign a conscientious, fearless Negro officer TO pa-
troll West 9th Street would be equivalent to signing his
death warrant ~ 81" 10
It is agitation" for Negroes to seek something that is
~rightfully due them.
It's very thoughtful on the part of the veteran officers
OIL our ponce department, to disapprove the idea for the nro.
tecuoh OF our lives. But, it would be more appreciative if
'hey would conceal their objections and let us worry abont
our salety. III ISM any more for a Negro to die from gunshot
wounds with a Negro on the business end than if IS for y
whlte man to be on that end. Unless. it saves expenEtnres

so we will favor, despite the increased ieopardv of or.

What Others Say:
CAN AMERICA FORGET COLOR?

Color prejudice is doing as much to handicap and slow
down our nations about effort, as the activities of enemy
pfopagandist and saboteurs. This color prejudice is keeping
Negroes out of thousands of defense Jobs, where their la
Dor and skill are needed. Negro soldiers in many instances
are submitted to ~indignities that tend to lower their morale.
These conditions do not make for national unity,
We are engaged in a life or death struggle against pow
erful and crafty enemies. Nothing short OF about war effort
will suffice if we are to win, we must "black out color pre-
judicc and combine all our human and material resources in
the struggle for victory.
Out in the State of Washington. the L. S. Government
has just completed the building of the Grand Couee Dam.
This mighty dam, which has the capacity for producing
more electrical energy than any other unit in the nation, will
furnish power for producing aluminium for war use; also
for irrigating large areas of farming acres, and turning the
wheels of many vital defense industries. Negro workers
played an important role in the construction Ct the river
bed, and operated intricate machines for mixing and laying
the tons of cement with which the dam is constructed, and
they stuck TO the job fer eight years,
BY a strange coincidence, just as the Grand Coulee
Dam reaches completion at this critical period, news comes
from Wala Walla, in the same State of Washington, that
the Negro soldiers of the. path lis, Infantry stationed IN
that city, have received orders from their superior officers.
prohibiting them from seeking or accepting service at some
twenty-five white business establishments there.
These Negro soldiers were sent to Walla Walla to help
protect the people of that city from attack by japanese, yet.
they Ind themselves Disseminated against on account of
eoior, THIS certainly does not help their morale.
Color prejudice is a weak link III our national armour

! RUTH TAYLOR SAYS:
WHAT is FREEDOM?
Gi1GnISGHllI0ll M q III Gi1illirGll

Freedom-the word meets us every time we twist the
radio dials, or pick up "A newspaper. When we watched other
nations lose their freedom, we talked of how much it meant
to us But it took the shots fired at Pearl Harbor, the loss of
Singapore and Java, to teach us that freedom was more than
life itself.
But what is this freedom which is our dearest posses
sion?
Freedom is to speak and think without restriction and
without fear.
in the fellowship of cooperative effort for the good of
all.
Freedom is to be tolerant, to grant to others the rights
and consideration we want for ourselves.
Freedom is to have the right to work, and to change our
work or place Of working as We deem best.
Freedom is the sovereignty Of man against the domi-
nation Of the State.
Freedom is the right to choose our own government IN
a fair and open electlon-not in an auction of men.
Freedom is rule by reason, not rule by force.
Freedom is to have reliance and trust in the pledged
word, the control of men through that intangible
thing called honor, which lifts a man to his rightful
stature.
Freedom is to worship God according to the dictates Of
our own conscience, not according to the image of a
power-mad dictator.
Freedom is a belief in the individual and in his ability
to SO conduct himself that his neighbor may not suf-
fer from any act or neglect of his.
Freedom is to seek the truth, not to be swayed by the
prejudice and hatred preached by a demagogue.
Freedom Is to dream OF an ideal and to work for it's
fulfillment on this earth.
This Is freedOm-the freedom for which our f%orefathers
fought and died, the freedom for which they worked to make
this country out of a virgin wilderness. 1t is our most pre-
clcls mherltance-tc preserve it we are fighting and we will
fight until the final victory is won and the world is freed
from the Anti-Christ of totaitarianism!

go" because they dared to use their
judgment in making decisions in
interracial matters.
If Piekens actually compromised
in his statements. he would most
certainly have a precedent in the
many matters compromised by the
NAACP itself. The fight for the
equalization of teachers salaries
is n point in question, Were the
NAACP uncompromising it would
not only fight for equal salaries
but it would oppose segregated
schools, which it is not making an
issue, We all know that any pro-
gram that disregards the section
al mores is doomed to failure. 1t
is just as unscientific for the Ne
gro to disregard the white mans
notion of things as for Sfe white
man to disregard the Negroes.
However, nobly inclined the Ma
ACP may be, it must admit that
segregation cannot be removed by
fiat even of the government. Like
a vast moral Dardenelles. the anti
lynehing fight has to date come to
nought, because certain things can
not be forced; and if this is true
of the NAACP, how much more is
it with its individual supporters
throughout the nation. Ii is not go
ing to be a fine thing for Ne
groes to resort to purgism,
The purge that liauidates a Will
liam Piekens is highly question
able, and strikes us as indefensi-
Bile, We are not going to get very
far by trying to fool ourselves that
We are going to have all or none.'
The Negro has come a long way
by taking wha. he could get until
he could get what he wanted. The
Negroes who face this ugly fact
are just useful in this fight as the
Negroes who refuses to face what
he does not like. Russia and Ger
many and Italy have had their
purges. There is no room among
Negroes for purgism. Let Negro
leadership concentrate in annihilat-
ing Nazism, not one another.

pURGlSM AMONG Negroes:
The Pattcrson-White Contro-
versy-The tilt between DR.. Pat
terson of Tuskegce and Walter
White of the NAACP has some re
grettable possibilities. The cause
of Negro advancement is not going
to be helped by any spirit Of in
tolerance. 1t is not going to help
our cause to cry aloud against in
tolerance in one breath. and in the
next, invoke il TO carry our point.
Many of US support the NAACP
not because of our belief in its
omniscence; but because of its
~motigations. Blu! even the NAACP
must realize tina. there are other
points Of view on vital matters
than It's own.
So long Booker T. Washington
and Dubois were opposed in the
thinking Of the whites and even in
the thinking of Negroes themsclv-
es. The followers Of Dubois were
known as radicals while those Of
Washington were known as conser-
natives. The pity was, each school
believed itself right and the other
wrong, whereas the lapse Of forty
years proves that both were right.
Both schools were after the same
thing, and that was the further
emancipation Of the Negro; and
their only difference was their
modus operandi. Differences are
not always a matter Of right and
wrong. As Ella Wheeler Wilcox
once said,
81 know as my years grow
older,
And mine eyes have clearer
light,
That in each rank wrong,
somewhere
There turks the seed Of right"
The philosophical postulates up

way to relativism which negates
the previous extreme position,
Things now do not have to be

on lis way out. My interest in the
matter has been provoked because
Of the underlying implication that
a mans behavior in a given situa-
ton must conform always to a Civ
en- pattern. Sociology holds that
there is no such thing as ian IN
compromising position and the
creature who claims to occupy
such position is a moral mon,tro-
sity.
The southern white man, no less
than the southern Negro, has
compromised his position in that
he has allowed the Negro to rise
in the south, that was committed
to holding him down. The Negro of
the south is neither down nor out
due to the fact that the southern
white mar compromised. A COM
promise that is a real eomprom-
Use, is always a gain. This we
muss keep in mind when we would
censure the southern Negroes for
their way of meeting certain in
t~er-raeial situation The only rca-
son any Negro ever lived in the
south and departed alive was due
to his ability to compromise.
DR., Patterson has a situation to
meet and meets it as seem best
to himself. He wanted a separate
training corps for Negro airmen,
not because he especially prefer
red it; but because he thought this
better than none at all. Negroes
Of the south, like Negroes Of the
North-and Of the world-have ae-
cepted segregation in practice but
not in Theory. To deny the south
ern Negro the right and the pre-
negative to handle situations &C
cording to his own judgment is
a degree Of intolerance the Negro
cannot afford to attain. There is
nothing about she northern Negro
nor the success he has had in COM
batting segregation, to assure us
that he is more efficient or more
effective in his opposition to the
inroads Of prejudice. 1t is not re-
assuring to the friends of the Ma
ACP to see DR., Patterson attack
