Negroes-"the Negro minority''-to be
accorded full rights as American citizens.
Much of this agitation, or, perhaps, one
should say many of these pleas that
have gotten into print are worthy pleas,
thoroughly justifable, made by respon-
sible members of the Negro race them
selves the highest type of Americans, or
by non-Negro Americans who have at
heart the best interests of their fellow
citizens. Such Americans have asked
and are asking that the American
Negro be given his fair share to do in
our war effort and, having done that
share, that he be accorded, when the
war has been won by the United Ma
tions, better chance to prove him.
self an integral part of a majority of
loyal, united, American citizens. In
other words. in these critical times, it
is being urged that the American Negro
be given and helped toward the &C.
ceptance of more responsibilities of
good citizenship because he has the
splendid luck to be an American.
Then there are those out-and-out agi-
tators in print who demand, accompany
ing such demands with all sorts of dire
threats of racial wars to come, that the
American Negro be given with no further
delay his rights" Nothing is ever said
by such persons of the American Negros
responsibilities. That he is one of IAN
oppressed minority" is stressed over and
over again. In fact, his minority status
seems to be the very thing that entities
him to both privileges and even conces-
slons because he has the misfortune to
have been born in America. Actually,
Whatever mlnorities can truthfully be
said to exist in this country are COM
posed OF just such misguided agitators
as these who fill the columns of both the
so-called white and the Negro press with
their vltriolic comments and, too, of
those unfortunates, both Negro and
white, among us who deliberately fout
law and order. 1t is such minorities
tnat, In one way or another, intelligent
Negro and white Americans hope in time
to re-educate.
But aside from those who ignorantly
or, for Axis pay, infiame racial prejudice
and those of any racial background wbo
make crime their career, there are no
mlnorit1es in these United States. We
are one people-apd he who does the
American Negro truly great service
would begin by ceasing to speak of him
as belonging to minority group. The
term simply does not apply to any good
citizens of a democracy such as ours
Let's delete it, in that sense. from orr
national vocabulary.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Traceweu.

Other woodpeckers have a small dart
on the end of the tongue, with which
they catch ants and the like. The yell
low-bellied sapsucker Is not good insect
eater. 1t is said that he is the only
member of his clan whose food consists
OF more vegetable than insect matter.
The yellow-bellied sapsucker, the red
breasted sapsucker and Williamson's
sapsucker all have some yellow on their
breasts. The red-breasted has red
head, completely red whereas the red in
the yellow-bellied sapsucker is alter
nately striped with white and black,
making very handsome bird. William
sons sapsucker, which freouents the
West, has no red on its head, which Is
black, striped with white The only red
1t has is directly beneath its bill.
r. II X
The danger from the yellow-bellied
form is that he will be mistaken for an
other species, and permitted to hang
around.
Watch should be kept for him as early
as February.
We believe that the best thing to do
is to chase him away.
Take good look at him, study him for
time, but do not permit him to remain.
as the chances for tree damage are too
great.
He will have just as good time on
some tree In nearby forest.
II u
The yellow-bellied is one of the prize
drummers of all birdland.
When he braces his feet and tail, leans
back, and then begins to drum, his head
and neck go so fast that they cannot be
seen.
When you hear a particularly rapid
drumming in the woods, you may feel
pretty sure that you have come across a
yellow-bellied sapsucker.
The eggs, from four to seven, are laid
in dead or decaying tree, since the
bird does not wish to spend time in drill
ing out fresh tree. 1t is a question
whether he could do it, in the first place,
and probably he has enough sense to
realize it.
Often he seems to peck out the bark
in squares at least half an inch across.
This is not the case, however; what the
bird has done is to peck out small holes
SO close together that they make a
square.
The damage comes because often the
total of the destroyed area is more than
that of good bark left in the same To-
cality.
While the sapsucker is working, he is
ready at all times to chase away any
other one of his own kind trying to make
landing. At such time he makes a
peculiar squealing note, which has the
desired effect on the intruder Evi-
IDENTIFY, in sapsucker language, it says,

TAILS CHURCH, Va.

Dear Sir
"I am much concerned over the two or
three dogwood trees near my home in
which are located birdhouses, rustic and
coconut shell type. only recently no.
ticed they are dead or dying, while
others which support no birdhouses
appear to be alive, having borne blossoms
and leaves as usual.
incidentally, pieces of suet have been
tied to each of these trees off and on all
winter. Could it be that the woodpeckers
have had any part in killing these dog
woods? Your suggestions would be
gratefully received
Sincerely yours, o. c."
The yellow-bellied sapsucker is prob
ably the culprit.
This rather large bird is fond of suet,
and will come where it is to be found.
Once present, he may turn his atten-
ton to the tree on which the suet con-
tainer is placed.
We do not believe that birdhouses
would harm any tree. 1t might be
good idea, however, just on general
principles to change their position every
few years.
The sapsucker is a fine creature, but
he Is to be viewed with some alarm by all
persons who are particularly fond OF
trees.
There has been some dispute about
how much damage he does. From our
experience, this sapsucker is not a bird
guest to welcome.
One February we noticed long, wet
streaks on the trunk of favorite maple.
Investigating, we found that sap
sucker had been at work on some of the
boughs
We not only saw the holes he had
drilled, but later saw him busily at work
He was magnificent bird, and we did
not at that time suspect him of doing
any damage.
Later all the branches he had touched
were found dead.
The tree did not ultimately suffer,
but certainly 1t might have. Authorities
are still in dispute about how much dam
age the yellow-bellied sapsucker does,
but there is no use in taking chances.
This woodpecker is much more likely
to do damage than any of his cousins
At little distance he is often mistaken
for some of the harmless ones.
His ways of drilling, however, are
much more likely to cause real harm,
since he literally girdles tree.
He is after the soft cambium.
The damage he does may be consider
able. This has been particularly true
In some Of the Southern States.
The yellow-bellied sapsucker has a
small brush on the end of his tongue,
and with this he brushes out the holes
he drills.

In Foirness to an Ally
By Maj. George Fielding Eliot.
From the New Yorld Herald Tribune.

SAoaA sAe 1teW 1oEio herald Tribune,
There is an Immediately practical argu-
ment behind the movement for the re-
peal of the Chinese exclusion acts. those
invidiously discriminatory laws which
we still apply to our great Far Eastern
Allies. They constitute one of the best
remaining propaganda weapons in the
hands of the Japanese, who ceaselessly
use them to convince the Chinese that
we look down upon them as interiors
and that they should place no faith in
our lofty protestations; it is an effective
weapon and the enemy should be de-
prived Of it. But far more impressive is
the less selfish argument of reason, fair
ness and common courtesy to the people
who have so long sustained our battle.
These laws, which prohibit Chinese from
entering the United States and deny the
possibility Of acquiring citizenship to all
those not born here, are as anachronistic
as the extraterritorial treaty rights which
we recently surrendered with such happy
effect.

CORY that earning power has risen

CORY that earning power has risen
fastest.
In the case Of such groups as un-
organized white collar workers and
persons living on fixed incomes, the
pressure Of rising living costs is be-
coming extremely burdensome, and
their case for relief stands on an
entirely different basis than that OF
the organized groups for which Mr..
Murray Is a spokesman. So far as
purchasing power is concerned, those
in this latter category have improved
their relative position since this
country went to war. On the basis
of the facts, rather than generalities,
they have no valid reason to demand
anything. Perhaps that is why the
facts are so seldom permitted to in
trude themselves into the picture.
