TOO LATE
BY AMBROSE

Just two words that speak volumes in relation to todays war. Let
us quote General Macarthur, 1.-THE history of failure in war can almost
be summed up in two words TOO LATE Too late in uniting all
possible forces for resistance. Too late in standing with ones friends"
, 1943-03-31


to be too late in consolidating for
complete victory by not doing our
part in destroying the propaganda
against the working people? Let
each of us work toward the open
ing of a Western Front e
that our papers carry the facts on
the war program instead OF slam
ming Labor"
Every loyal American wants to
see the war end soon. They know
that those who are fortunate to be
able to serve in the branches of
u Armed Forces share the same
wish. They want to come home
and take up life as before. We
have all heard of our Allies who
have been fighting some three
years and who have not seen their
families since they left, and we
may be assured that they some
times wonder when and where
it will all end Let us on the Home
Front get in and pitch! Our Allies
costs are u costs! Their peril is
our peril!
We know that the most reae-
tionary circles of monopoly cap
ital do not regard victory as the
desirable outcome of the war,
which bears out the question of
victory which is not just a techni-
cal conclusion to military opera
tons. It relates to political ques-
tons affecting all and which in
turn is affected by them.
Peoples War" is not just a
label. It has a historical and sig
nificant bearing toward victory on
which our national survival de-
ponds. We are not just interested
in the war and its outcome as the
label of this war might lead some
wayward people to believe -. for
a time but because this war
is not like ones want for empires,
etc; we are interested in the
methods and forces involved. We
are convinced that you cannot let
down the people, the people of all
the United Nations, without losing
the war!
Our history has shown us that
superior ornaments is a poor sub
stitute for an inferior policy. To
gain victory, we must FIGHT for
it with courageous action based on
a vigorous offensive policy incor-
porated in a global strategy and
with n determination in mind at
all times TO WIN THRU AT
ALL COSTS!
America is still one of the lead
ing arsenals for Democracy. Pro-
duction on the Home Front is an
inseparable part Of the Battle
Front. Production of tools of war
must be as closely guarded as our
military strategy. Production must
not lag because of saboteurs and
disrupters from within. The unity
of Americas industrial worker
with every other citizen IN every
walk of life Is essential.
The industrial worker needs the
support and confidence of all the
people. Labor's hard-won social
gains need not be sacrificed in the
name of Democracy. Continued
social gains and improvements viii
assure greater and greater produe-
ton and contribute to the morale
of Americas industrial worker.
American labor il contributing
to the Victory over fascisn in
every phase of this warl Labor
Is making this all-out contribution

What?

individual, make whatever you want
in this little corner.
l have heard men say who worked
during the first Worlds war that they
at times would make $25.00, $4,000
and $4,000 per week and when the
depression came they did not make
anything. They had thrown away
their earnings and they moaned and
groaned saying what they would do
if times ever got good again.
Most of US now are running here
and yonder looking for this big place
and that big place. Why not let
down your bucket whers you arc and
make good with what you have? It
seems ss if we as n group have for
got the church. We are leaving God
cut of our business, however, we
should remember the l27th Psalm
Except the Lord build the house, they
labor in vain that build it: except the
Lord keep the city, the wstchman
waketh but in vain"
Most people are making big money
now and plenty of it. After the

AFTER THE WAR THEN WHAT?

After the war is over and we find
ourselves back to normalcy what will
be the status of the colored man
What preparation are we as group
and individuals making for the fu-
ture? At the end of this war we as
an individual group are going to have
to adjust ourselves to new world
and conditions. Things are not going
70 be. the same. Conditions are not
going to be the same. Men and wo-
men, irrespective of race, color or
creed are not going to be the same.
Are we as individuals, are we rs a
race, making preparation for the fu-
ture? This is serious question
over which we should candidly .sedi-
tate.
Money is the cheapest thing on the
market at present. Everybody can
make money now. Most everybody
has some money. What are you doing
with it? Some of us no doubt have
rented place in which to live
we have reared our children in some
one else's house. Are we to make
ourselves contented in living on rent

Or shall we make good of the oppor
tunities that now confront us and fol
low other men and women with fore
thought by buying little home Of
our own No real man should be sat
lsfied to marry woman and rear
family on another mans farm or in
rented house all his life.
Why not try to have something you
can call your own? Why not have
something that you can do on your
own little farm? The time now de-
mands that all of US be up and doing.
All of us cannot be the same; all of
Us cannot do the same and yet, all of
ns should do our best to do something
worthwhile.
Why not shine in your own little
