Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of
the President, wrote several weeks
ago and / quote: eff l were a Ne
gro," l think | would have mo-
ments of great bitterness. 1t would
be hard for me to sustain my faith
in democracy and to build up a
sense of good will toward men Of
the other races There now re-
mains much work to be done to
see that freedom becomes a fact
and not just a promise for my
people" This and much more spoke
the first lady.
Black President
Now let us go still further: If
this writer might be so bold as
to paraphase instead of Mrs. Roos-
evelt's, eff l were a Negro" let
US assume the preposterous in
regard to true identity too and
say, IF | were Mrs. R~oosevelt's
husband and in my third term as
President, Commander-in-C Chief of
the United States and author Of
the Four Freedoms of World War
III with a million colored soldiers
fighting, bleeding and dying too,
for democracy abroad" If | were
President Roosevelt, | would first
speak out and issue an executive
order to stop all discrimination and
segregation of American citizens
tax payers and war bond buyers
on the home front. / would enforce
the constitutional rights of 13,O00,-
900 colored people North and South
by o~utlawing, lynching and race
riots, abolishing the poll tax, reg
~istration and educational test Of
colored Americans citizenship,
thereby guaranteeing equal justice
to all, without racial distinction.
If l were PresidentI would not
keep silent and let my wife do all
the talking, especially when how
ever nice it sounds, no official help
is forth coming from the White
House and the administrations
Democratic Representatives and
Senators in Congress and the ex-
ecutive departments.
Fire Attorney General Biddle
If l were President l would fire
Attorney-General Biddle for trying
to sabotage the all out war effort in
the recent recommendation that
loyal, willing, available and patri-
otto colored workers be denied their
God given right to migrate to the
North to fill essential war jobs and
to escape peonage, starvation
wages, the Jim Crow system in
public places, trains, buses, street
cars, a vicious educational set-up
which expends $500 for a colored
child and $500 for a white child
IN a dozen southern states and pro-
viding not a single university open
to colored youth for the study of
law, medicine, engineering and eco
nomics and finance in southern
states.
If l were President l would get
rid of the three southern secre-
taries, especially the one who call
ed the colored leaders, who pro-
tested the legal lynching of the
S~cottsboro boys, "insolvent n-!"
and the other who kicked the in
nocent colored policeman in the
groins for trying to protect the
life of the nations chief execu-
tive. l would also relieve the No.
1 White House assistant from
South Carolina of any important
duties, recollecting that it was this
state that first shot down the
American flag and seeded from
the Union.
If | were President l would con-
slider it an act of simple justice
to provide representation on the

boards to one-tenth of the total

United China Reiefs 1913 poster, painted by the distinguished
artist, Martha Sawyers, as her contribution to the cause, carries the
legend "China-First to Fight" which is also the title of the 1943
United China Relief motion picture. Miss Sawyers was living in
Peping in 1887 and escaped from the city just as the Japanese came
in. In her poster painting she has sought to express all her admira-
lion for Chinas heroic resistance to the invader as she saw it with
her own eyes. United China Relief is now a participating agency Of
the National War Fund.

slider it a violation of my oath Of
office to appoint or continue to
tolerate a Secretary Of War, that
permitted commanding officers to
shoot innocent coIored soldiers sent
as under military order to deliver
their drunken bodies to their wife
and children or to permit other
officers or soldiers to kill, discrim-
mate and abuse other soldiers in
the uniform of Uncle Sam, solely
because of race and color.
Honor Colored Heroes
If l were President | would not
refuse to decorate brave colored
sailors or soldiers like Dorie Mil
Ter and Robert Brooks with the
Congressional Medal of Honor, nor
deny such honors to all colored
servicemen regardless of their he
role deeds.
If | were President 1 would not
keep silent when billions of federal
housing funds expended to build
homes for American men and wom-
en- were so administered as to bar
colored war workers and their
families. If / were President l
would not try to fool the people
with FEPC hearings and do moth
ing to bring to justice the railroad
unions and government officials
, prove guilty of openly aiding in
discrimination practices against
colored railroad workers nor would
we fail the unprotected and vic
timized colored fireman being kill
ed outright or suffering slow death
by unemployment. If | were Pres
ident | would not allow the Secre-
tary of the Navy to insult the
wives and daughters of a million
colored servicemen by denying them
admittance to the WAVES and re-
fusing colored sailors commissions
in the Navy.
Stop Abuses of Civil Service
If / were President would not
stand for a minute as Commander
in-Chief to see a court martial
sentence Sgt. Levy to Jail for try
ing to teach colored soldiers to
read and write. If l were Pres
ident | would instruct the Civil
Service Commission to use the
power granted in Congress to pre-
scribe the rules and regulations
to stop the present survey bent
on classifying the 100000 fed
eral employees on the basis of
race though this discriminatory
action is a specifically prohibited
by Law, l would appoint a colored
member of the Civil Service Com
mission to guard the integrity of
this vital federal agency as Mayor
La Guardia has done in New York
and Mayor Walker before him. II
| were President l would not send
prelates to barnstorm the battle
areas as New Deal propagandists
where colored soldiers are used
only as engineers and have to 20
in first to face the shot and shells.
Nor would / stand for the court
martial of a God fearing colored
officer like Chaplain Fuller, who
cries out against the mistreatment
of colored soldiers in the Pacific
area by white officers and soldiers.

E. NJ. M.-Will 1 finish school
this year. OF course 1 don't see
how I a finish, making bad
marks all the time. I desire to
read my answer in your column
next week.
Ans: It's a PFC" and a cpl"
who are at the bottom of your bad
marks. It's admirable for you to
keep the soldiers cheered up but
you're over doing it. Keep your
interest on a friendly basis as they
desire you to. A little book study
is what you need very badly at
this time. It's patriotic to study
hard SO that you can get out OF
school as soon as possible.

l fell in love with a young fellow
in 1912 which caused my husband
and l to separate and is until now.
Both my husband and my boy
friend are in the service. The boy
friend wants to marry me when all
is over and now my husband writ
es that he wants me to take him
back. What must / do?
Ans: Get these "giddy" notions
out of your head. You overwhelm
ed your boy friend for a while but
his ardor has cooled considerably.
He gave you love but he did not
mention marriage--..he only prom
ised it when he went in service.
Your husband is still the kind,
faithful man that you married and
he stands ready to assume his OBJ
legations to you and the children at
a moments notice. He needs the
assurance of your love now.
don't deny him this happiness.
