Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1943-04-30

This suggestion by such a distin-
guished figure in the world of mu-
sic as Menuhin deserves the serious
consideration Of the War Depart
ment. And if it is favorably acted
upon will be in our humble opinion
one of the most effective means of
raising the morale of American SOL
diers.
Certainly the presence in Eng
land or Africa of a great Negro
artist such as Marian Anderson or
Roland Hayes or Dorothy Maynor
will do much to give the Negro SOL
der that sense Of pride and loyalty
which repeated humiliation, the in
evitable consequence of discrimina-
ton and segregation, tends to rob
him of. The presence of artists such
as these would have a salutary eff
feet on Americas white soldiers,
too, many of whom have never
heard of or seen a great white con-
cert artist let alone a Negro. Europe
has always been kindly disposed
toward Negro musicians and our
English allies would unquestionably
give them an enthusiastic reception.
Every military or naval officer
knows the value of high state of
morale in the troops under his COM
mand. Superiority of arms and
equipment does not necessarily in
sure victory. The history of war
fare is replete with instances where
an army outnumbered and out
gunned has by the sheer force of
spirit overcome its enemy. That
spirit, the unconquerable will to
win, can only be inculcated in the
soldier when he is moved by the
profound conviction that the cause
for which he fights is more i'm
portant than anything else includ-
ing life. No secret weapon no mat
ter how powerful can take the place
Of morale. Without it even the
largest army has a fatal weakness,
with it the smallest army has i'm
measurable strength.
