PLAIN TALK:
by ELMER ANDERSON CARTER

In the last war in order to limit
the association of American col
cred soldiers with their white
romrades in arms, the American
High Command made Arrangements
to brig AIDE American coloied com
lat troops with the Frenst. And
that is the reason Why the 3e.'th,
3IOth and 3sist and Sind Infontry
regiments were attached to French
and that is the reason
why their combat record was so
much more htilliont than the eom
bat record of the 92nd division.
