The South does not know it yet,
apparently, but this war is not like
other wars. 1t has been stated over
and over again that up to now we
are losing the war. We have a good
chance to lose it finally unless we
realize that every ounce of man
power, every possible weapon,
every tiny bit of psychology must
be modified and thrown into the
battle. We can't win with one-tenth
of our manpower immobilized by
traditional prejudices and brutal
terror dished out by southern con-
stables determined to treat Negro
soldiers as they do Main street

moved.-In the N. Y. Amsterdam

Brown, it is charged, not only beat
Reco when he aEghted from the
bus, but shot him twice in the car
in which they were taking him to
the police station.
This story is the usual one from
Dixie. The only unusual aspect of
it is that the Department of JUS
tice has filed against the officers.
Still more unusual is the statement
of Mr.. Biddle that his department
had been requested to act by the
War department itself.
Treatment in Dixie Calling
1t is no exaggeration to say that
of all the dirt being heaped upon
the Negro during this war for ode
mocracy" the part that gals Negro
Americans most is the way our
boys in uniform are being treated
by white civilians and civilian po-
lice in the southern states. Negroes
know that war is not a ping pong
game. They know that one has to
take a lot of things in war time
that one would not stand for in
peace time. They know that sacri-
fees are necessary. They will take
the bitter with the sweet. BUT,
they don't think they should have
to take any EXTRA bitterness.
They reason thus: a soldier is
soldier, whether he is white or
black. Negro soldiers are willing to
take anything white soldiers take,
but they don't think they ought to
have to take more than a white SOL
der takes. The United States uni.
form is the same whether worn by
a white boy or black boy. Both
have agreed, if necessary, to lay
down their lives for their country.
The black boy does not see why he
should have to be slapped around,
dubbed, shot and killed by "crack-
er" cops just because he is black.
If the War department could
once get this fact through its brass
hat bureaus and take action, posi-
lively and definitely, to see that
ALL soldiers are given the same
treatment by civilian authorities,
then three-fourths of the "head-
aches" it has been having over Ne
groes in the army would disappear.
Moreover, the great Negro popula-
ton would feel more like fighting
for the Four Freedoms.
Need More "FOrtitude"
All this program takes is a little
"guts." The army officials have
hidden behind the excuse that they
cannot be expected to solve the race
problem, that they have a war to
fight. Well, no one is asking them
to solve the race problem. We are
demanding that they protect their
men in uniform from abuse and kill
ings by civilians. We want some
Negro soldiers saved to fight the
Nazis and the Japs. In addition, we
want those Negro soldiers who
happen to escape the clubs and
guns of the Dixie die-hards to be
in some frame of mind to be able
to fight. And lastly, fighting a war
is more than shooting guns at the
enemy. You've got to have men who
feel like shooting and you've got
to have a population behind those
