messengers were sent to peddle British brotherhood
in India The democratic world was simply up to its
neck in the milk of human kindness for those who
hated the Axis. What happened?
With every single step forward on the road to
victory, the blazing light of brotherhood got pro-
gressively DINNER and the forward march Of our
arms was accompanied by the gradual retreat of
our idealism. Churchill celebrated the invasion of
North Africa by announcing to the world that he
didn't take his present Job in order to "iquidate"
the British Empire. Our State Department began
to play with Vichyites On the home front, the adj
mnstraon began to appease the poll takers. Ghandi
and Nehru left to curse their luck in jail. The
miracles of the Red army began to trouble the soul
of Mr.. Hearst and today Stain seems to be causing
as much trouble in Washington as in Berlin.
Negro-white relations in America are worse to-
day than they have been in decades because the ma
tive fascists determined that Negroes shall make
no gains in this war. The controlling bloc in Con-
gress has declared war on the social gains of the
last decade and every concession made to organized
labor or to the Negro people is bitterly fought Pres
dent Roosevelt has often found himself like the gen.
era without army. The administration is retreat
ing before the threats of the souherners to bolt
the party.
These signs of the times are warning to US
that this war Of liberation can become tragic
mockery unless we meet the challenge of those who
are determined to maintain the status quo. We
not put faith in some magic turn of events fol-
lowing the fall of Hitler. We must fight for funda
mental changes of government policy toward Negroes
and not be msled by such trifes as the naming of
Liberty ship for some hero Unless we win these
fundamental changes during this period, the few
signs of Negro progress we see today will appear to
historian as sheer window dressing
One of the basic changes which must be won
is the abolition Of segregation which is the whip Of
the slave master. The United States government
cannot sanction and enforce segregation in the
armed forces and in civilian life and at the same
time be true to the aims of this war to the ideals
of this democracy The color bar which divides the
American people cannot be maintained in the years
to come without increasing violence and racial ten
sion. Segregation has already crippled the war
effort and prolonged this struggle against the Axis
No two races in history have ever lived together as
Separate and equap and as long as the spirit of
freedom beats in the human breast, they never will
We can make this war of liberation by pressing
the fight for the abolition of the color bar here and
now, and unless we ourselves advance this cause
of democracy, it is silly to expect the miracles of
which the star-gazers speak,
