Hold That Line!

Bravery is an every day re-
qcirement If battlelines are to be
held intact when mighty foes at
tack. Soldiers who are more con-
cerned about their convenience
and pleasure than they are about
their duty to stand firm, easily
become victimized by the relent-
less assaults directed against
them. A fighter who lacks bravery
will never "hold that line"
There is much being said in
this war about the necessity of
the home front. 1t remains for all
who stay at home to maintain the
home front. Rather, it remains
for different groups of the stay
at-home people to defend differ
ent sections of the home front. 1t
is for the able bodied men to i'm
plement those on the battle line
with whatever is needed to bring
the fight to a successful conclu-
sion. 1t is for women generally,
and for young women in particu-
lar, to inspire the men in our
fighting forces with a worthy
moral idealism.
Human nature being what it
is. and feminine sympathy and
feeling being what it is, high
, courage is sometimes demanded
of the women who maintain in
time of war the home front. They
need the courage to resist the
moral temptations that haphazard
ways of wartime living seem to
multiply. They need the courage
to guard their virtue intact and
to cling firmly to their ideals of
true womanhood, despite the lev
ity and even looseness that the
war spirit has spread abroad in
the land. 1t become the imperative
duty of young women in partic-
ular to hold that line" Their
own future welfare, as well as the
best interests of the boys who bid
them goodbye to fight in distant
lands, make it important that
they hold the line on the home
front - hold it even though it
may require courage that is akin
to heroism.
Because of war conditions ju-
venile delinquency is on the in
crease in many American cities.
And much of this delinquency is
among young girls who have not
the moral courage it takes for
them to resist young men in uni
form. Kate Sullivan, who heads
the Big Sisters Bureau of the Sar
Francisco Police Department, vol
unteers the shocking information
that many young girls consider II
their duty" to do whatever a de
parting soldier wants. With sucf
deplorable sense of duty in evil
dence, it is no surprise that ju
venile delinquency is zooming up
ward.
Perhasp the war is but bringing
to a head a condition that hai
been encouraged and fostered, a
least indirectly, by our system o
public education. If the young arr
not taught to revere God they ar
not going to pay much attention

FROM THE
WAREHOUSE OFFICE
BY Roger Robertson

Every now and then we look at
life from q serious side, and some
times We find out things about
our country that we never
dreamed about, or ever existed.
In Washington. d. c., last
month the Committee on fair en-
ployment practice, appointed to
handle the delicate problem of
color and race discrimination, is
complaining bitterly backstage,
that the white house was giving
the committee the round around.
The committee faces one of the
most difficult tasks of the war
trying to assure Negroes and other
race groups fair break at the
war jobs.
Chairman of the committee is
DR.. Malcolm MacLean, white, who
Is president of Negro College,
Hampton Institute.
Other committee members in
clude the presidents close friend
David Sarnoff, head of the Radio
Corporation of America, Mark
Ethridge, manager of the Louis
vile Courier-Journal; William
Green of the A. F. of L.; Phil
Murray of the c. I. O., Milton P.
Webster and Earl Dickerson.
About a month ago they began
holding hearings in Birmingham,
Ala, regarding complaints of dis
elimination against Negroes in
war jobs.
Witnesses were brought from
Mobile, New Orleans, Savannah.
and Chattanooga, under a proce-
dure adopted in other cities.
However, Alabama's Governor
Dixon, seconed by the Georgia's
Gene Talmadge, launched a bar
rage against the committee, espec-
tally against the fact that it's
chairman is the president of
Negro College - even though DIR.
MacLean is a caucasian.
The protest began to spread,
and when the committee announ-
ced hearing in Ell Paso, Texas on
discrimination against Spanish
/ American workers, Texas got as
excited as Birmingham.
BY this time deluge of pro-
test had been received at the
White House, and very quietly
the President transferred the
Fair Employment Practice Commit
tee from the w. P. B., where it
was semi-independent, to the
manpower commission.
Under the new set-up the COM
mittee will be directly under the
thumb of Paul McNutt.
Inside the committee, this is
interpreted as a move to throttle
activity, make it mere window
dressing. AS a result, some of the
Presidents best friends, including
the ire of David Sarnoff of the
Radio Corp; are sore, and
threaten to resign.
Perhaps all of these entangle-
ments will be Strengthened out,
when the hand writing shows on
the wall, but wait till that hap
pens? We are fighting now for
the rights of all people now, not
for just one group Of people like
they have over in nations across
the water, so WHY THE LINE
OF DEMARKATIoN? E?

These busy times I know tha'
you are among those that keep or
doing and doing good turns foi
all.
Here we are surely turned into
a real city. People are just go.
into every branch. We were quite
surprised to learn that the Spo.
kane Club had been obliged "a
take on a crew of women, color
ed at that and bus girls, waitress
ses, 4 elevator women and teach
ing them to fill all places. Some
of our society DANES are there,
working even as You and I did i'm
bygone days. 1t seems a long time
for changes, but they do come,
don't they?
Mrs. Frank Stokes, Pauline
Houston Freeman and several
others are in Defense plants, cleo
tricity, metal workers in para
chute departments. That's fine
isn't it? Some of us are just maxi
ing too much money. i wonder
If they are saving some for after
the war? This is my 3rd war, so
after two panics at their close,
I'm wondering if any of us older
people have even thought of the
future. But there maybe no after
math this time Ell? The war with
the Japs may have the say so.
What do you think? We have
hundreds of soldiers and they are
in Idaho also. The Booker Wash
ington Center seems to be the
meeting place for many, and 1
hear that they have god times. 1t
seems a pity that we have no
letter from here, but I guess that
1t is hopeless. We can't even get
the colored papers any more, for
the larger boys now have more
profitable work and the smaller
ones won't stick. I always took
them and uesd to eb on exchange
but now don't try altho I do miss
them a lot.
Our first snow storm today
quite wet and heavy Mr.. Maps
had planned to finish up his two
weeks vacation last day of the
Bird season today, but remained
home and I'm glad. He has an ice
locker full of game now, ducks
and G hines Pheasants and
doesn't need more. Best luck in
years for him. We had nice perch
the large ones l sailed down this
morning, and a Mallard duck
cooking for dinner Cant you just
smell it?) Come over and join us.
We have shared with many.
Our stores open at noon now,
close at 6 p. m, excetp Saturday.
No help, % have gone from the
Old National Bank. So many wo-
men now Mr.. Maps says 1t is
alright, but he was there also in
the 1st World War. Only few of
the old heads left. His rs years
up next time.
Guess our holiday will be quiet
but I hope happily for you. I
have six nephews in the Armed
Service, I don't know where sew
eral are. My very own favorite is

SENATE AND POLL TAX

Although the House has passed the Geyer-Pepper

the great victory should not backou the fact that the
toughest battle still lies ahead in the Senate Remem
Der the anti-lynchng bill likewise was passed by the
House only to be fbustered to death by senators from
the lynch states of the South The antipoll tax bill in
hoduced into the Senate by Senator Pepper has already
been reported adversely by the subcommittee of the SEN
ate Judiciary Committee and Senator Tom ConnaIly of
Texas and Senator Wall Doxey of Mississippi, two poll
tax members of the Judiciary Committee under the handy
plea of unconsttuonaly have succeeded in posponing
action the until October 10 when the full SEN
ate Judiciary Committee will meet action on the sub-com
mittee's report
These tactics make clear the strength and ingenuity
of the opposition which must be overcome in driving the
antipoll tax legislation through the Upper Chamber

chance to rally and concentrate their efforts kilograms
and resolutions should be sent by individuals, trade
IONS churches and every organization to members of the
Senate Judiciary Committee and especially to their
two Senator'S Insist that they vote out the Pepper anti
poll tax bill with favorable report that the legislation
be quickly enacted to restore democracy to ten mil
