Murray, who was welcomed by
Howard Pres. Mordecai johnson,
stressed the fact that CLIO offers
full equality to all workers in its
ranks, regardless of creed, color
or nationality" and declared fatty
that mo labor organization, espe-
cially in the mass production in
dustries, al hope to survive if it
practices discrimination"
Full appreciation of this basic
CLIO policy was expressed by Pres.
johnson, who said in introducing
Pres. Murray to more than 1000
Howard students, graduates and
faculty members: I'm recent years
there has risen a great movement
of labor solidarity-the CLIO. From
the beginning it has shown interest
in Negro workers, has gained their
confidence and solidarity because
of interest, and has taken them
into its leadership"
, 1943-03-17

1T is in the interest of the white
workers to stop all discrimination"
Murray said, because the white
worker cannot hope to improve his
conditions while the Negro worker
has sub-standard wages.

ped to help win the war and win
the peace than the labor movement,
and no other group can derive
greater benefits than those por-

The Brighter Side

OF ALL the peoples Of the
- other nations of the world.
Americans probably know and
understand the Italians best.
This is because the Italians
have lived among us for genera
tions. have been our neighbors
and our friends in large cities
and small towns--Italians of
foreign birth and millions OF
their descendants OF American
birth. who are apt to be more
American in one generation
than the offshoots OF any other
alien roots.
Thus few Americans have
been able 10 work up any great
hatred of the mass Of the Italian
people in the old country in this
war. They have hated Musso-
lini. whom they first derided as
a clown. with considerable vigor.
and they have hated all he stood
for, but not his people. Ameri-
cans have felt that the Italians
were deluded and misled and
that they never had any heart
in the military buster Of the
Fascist leader and certainly not
in making war against Ameri-
cans.
ATheir lack OF heart in MuSso-
his cause is indicated by the
Wretched showing Of the Italian
troops in the battle lines in
Greece. in North Africa, in
Sicily and elsewhere. Their con-
slant beating is not compatible
with the courage characteristic
OF the race in bygone wars. In
our own armies. we have a large
number of Soldiers Of pure
Italian ancestry and they are

Americans Know
Italian People

and women Of Italian ancestry
among the leaders in business.
In politics. and socially, in nearly
every city of the land and in
this way they have been fore
most in every war effort against
the land Of their forebears.
THE Italians OF the United
i States. as OF 1910. represent
the largest contingent of for
elgn-born within our borders.
IT would be difficult TO accu-
rately estimate the total num-
Der OF their descendants, be-
cause they have intermarried
with others of foreign ancestry
more freely than almost any
other nationality. hence the
Italian blood widely flows
throughout our population. II

ably make Americans more

misguided people Of Italy than
we have ever before been 10 a

CINGIVITIS is an inhamma-

il so true that a local disease

that are strictly local or due 10

The gingivai tissue is a most

soreness and sponginess of the
gums may be forerunner Of

this form of prevention is the

lead to indications for treat
ment which would stop the
process and hold off the pyor-

Of LOCAL causes the most
" frequent is the deposit of

mouth, and the culprit here is
all too often tobacco. OF course,
the real cause Of deposit of call
