II - cNluSuL L4IdL LueIe Is u LOLdl
lack of consistency between
NAACP policy and practice.
1t has been largely through the
influence of the NAACP that spe-
cific appointments of consultants on
Negro affairs have been made in
various government departments.
William HASTE himself was their
man, both as a federal Judge in the
Virgin Islands "a clear case of spe-
cial treatment) and as special as
sistant to Secretary of War Slim
son. 1t was one of the NAACP's
best known men who insisted that
the national Office of USO employ a
Negro eonsultant on Negro affairs.
After taking such specific meas
ures in these matters, it is hard to
understand the NAACP's attitude
on the McWilliams' proposal. There
seems little harm in openly sane
tioning what it has secretly abetted.
Must Be Set Up for Special
Treatment
And the Negro must be set up
for special treatment, for in a very
real sense it is special treatment he
wants. He is a source of sickness
in a sick body polite. He is like
the lung in a tuberculosis body,
though, also like the lung, his af-
Fiction is not of his own making.
(The point that his affiction is not
of his own making should be en-
phasized.)
But just as the physician, while
treating the whole body gives spe-
cial attention to the lung, so he who
would cure our sick democracy must
give special attention to the Ne
gro. This is what England must
do for India in order to cure the
vast sickness in the British Com
monwealth of Nations. It is what
the Allies are doing in regards to
Italy. It is what must be done for
Germany to wipe out the recurrent
plague of Europe.
The argument, also advanced by
the NAACP, that the setting up
Of government office to deal with
Negro affairs would make Negroes
the mere wards Of the government
seems to beg the question. It as
sumes that the sick member of the
body polite will never get well.
Or perhaps a definition of terms is
needed. In the strictest sense, any
people is the ward of its govern
ment. Wars have been fought be-
cause of the governments obliga-
ton to protect its nationals.
Sense of Obligation
And what the Negro wants ex-
actly is that the government recog-
nize a sense of obligation to him
and to extend its wardship to him
on terms of equality with all other
people. The Negro has been trying
in haphazard ways to get this ex-
tension of wardship. Now the pro-
posal is TO channelize these hap
hazard activities and energies; and
the proposal seems good.
As Carey McWilliams has
pointed out, the setting up of a
racial minority for special treat
ment is no new thing in this coun-
try. Two precedents have been es-
tablished. One of them, Recon-
struction, failed dismally, but the
failure was in men and method
rather than idea. The second prece-
dent, and the one upon which Nc
Williams dwells, was and is an i'm
portant success for the idea, in
spite of sometimes sorry men and
deplorable methods.

full Of chicanery and blood, but the

In spite of the opposition of arcuate Negro faction
to Carey McWams proposal that there be set up the
government office of Negro affairs the suggestion still
seems good. The NAACP decried it fiercely The whole
theoretical policy of the NAACP is against any commitment
that to set the Negro apart for special treatment

Office of Indian affairs has done its
work extremely well under great
difficulties. And it must be re-
membered that for a time the office
of Indian affairs functioned for
three races-Indian, Negro, white
among the five civilized nations.
Some Success Certain
An Office Of Negro affairs would
no doubt encounter greater diff
culties because the problems are
greater and because too many
years have elapsed during which
nothing has been done. Properly
established, however, it would al
most certainly have some success,
and even a little success would be a
great benefit. Though, like the
office of Indian affairs, the office
Of Negro affairs could be estab-
hshed under a department already
existing, it should be no mere ap-
pendage. Nor should it be a refuge
for strutting bureaucrats.
It should represent a sincere, CO.
ordinated effort to make democracy
work for the country's most i'm
portant minority. It would be in
calculably more effective than the
experts in Negro affairs who func-
ton independently Though it is said
that Jonathan Daniels, a white
North Carolinian, controls them
all) in scattered government de-
partments. It would cost a lot of
money perhaps, but it would cost
considerably less than the $30,0OO,-
900 year that $50, 900 Indians now
cost.
The functions of such an office
would be administrative and, in so
far as it would propose and shape
legislation, legislative. 1t would
coordinate activities in behalf of
the Negro. It would fact-fnd, opin-
ion-fnd, will-fnd. 1t would serve
as a clearing house for those race
problems in the field of public gov
eminent that have gone unsolved
because sheer human inertia solves
nothing.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1943-11-12
Men of Finest Tact

1t would help to interpret one
people to another, and it would help
to shape the will of the democratic
whole. Properly stated, it would
go a long way toward taking a
major kink out of American de-
mocracy. It would require men of
the finest tact in a situation so I'M
used to diplomatic delicacy. It
could not afford the mistake of I'M
derestimating the possibilities of
democratic principles democratical-
ly applied.
Perhaps it could not go in one I'M
interrupted stride. Perhaps it
would have to make some COM
promises and set up some inter-
mediate goals, but it would move
always land faster than we are
now in the direction of the ideal.

Sponsors of legislation which

hope today of early passage after
yesterdays crushing defeat in the

Adoption of a Republican-su sup

WITH THE FIFTH ARMY IN

Treasury Morgenthau Travelled
through forward areas of the italian
front with 1t. Gen. Mark w. Clark
today and had high praise for Brit
lsh and American soldiers and for
AMG's work in restoring the city of
Naples.
Il am much struck by the young
British and American soldiers" he
said. Their faces seemed so alert
and they were so evidently in the
pink OF condition that they seem to
be ready for anything"
The Secretary noted that wateS
service was being restored in Ma
piles.
I can assure Gen. Clark that the
lighting forces have nothing to worry
about the people at home" he added.
They are solemnly behind the war
and they'll provide every dollar and
every piece of material-and that
means a good many dollars and lots
OF material-necesSary to bring
about complete victory"
Zeal and Enthusiasm.
/ My trip to the front has been
one OF the greatest experiences of
my life. I am filled with new zeal
and enthusiasm and I am going
home to tackle the fourth war loan
in the aggressive spirit of Gen
Clark'S 5th Army"
The Secretary voiced horror over
the Sufferings of the Italians and
declared THE people in America
should get down on their knees and
thank God that such things are not
happening there We haven't really
begun to make sacrifices ins the
United States yet In contrast with
what I've seen today our little an

evidence of the ruthlessneSs of the
German enemy-their murder of
innocent civilians, the peaceful farm
buildings and crops they've de-
stroyed, the homes they have ruined
The people at home should see these

Praises Cooperation.
He said the 5th Army was a
smooth-running machine with the
finest kind of cooperation between
Americans and British.
The closer I got to the front the
more impressive was the discip-
line" he added.
Mr.. Morgenthau was the witness
of three battlefield promotions made
by Gen. Clark.
