The Secretary of War, in his
comments to newspapers repre-

that there had been a slight delay
in the training of Negro pilots
because of the change Of characte-
of the plane designed for their

was the bomber originally planned
for the all-Negro Bombardmer1t
Group.
Grover c. Nash of Chicago has
been assigned to orient instructors
for navigation training. Nash is
senior instructor in the Airplane
Mechanics School. He is the only
civilian fight instructor at Lincoln
Air Base. In 1898 he was the
first and only Negro to fly the
United States Mail. He spent 10
months as instructor for the U. S.

hours to his credit in 80 different
types of planes.

Many enlisted men are already
in training at various special

the personnel for this group. Public
announcements recently made note
of the work being done along these
lines at Selfridge Field, Michigan,
and Keesler Field, Mississippi.

MUST GRID OWN ARMOR
The most important knowledge
to be gained by this senate vote,
however, is the fact that we cam
not depend solely on anyone. not
even those who pose as our friends,
to fight our battles for us. We
must grid our own arT1lor and
march against the foe.
We have been victims of too
much complacency and inertia.
We have been too content to
sit back and let others make
all Of the protests, to write all
of the letters to their sena-
tors, to organize the mass pres
sure groups that have become
so effective in this day of pres
sures. to assume leadership in
the fight for those things we
know to be right. We have
simply been too prone to mere-
w talk and not act. Now is the
time for more action, less talk.
How are we to act, with the
hands of SO many of us tied by
poll taxes and white primaries,
many might ask. The answer for
those in the poll tax states Is TO
make the financial sacrifice, get
registered en- masse. It's worth
it. Then join hands with labor
groups and progressives In the
South whose fight is SO much akin
to ours.
USE THIS POWER
For those who reside where the
franchise is free the answer is
to make full use of this power and
send to Congress men who have

i've Secretary of the League, points
out that adequate employment al
ter the war is the number one
9roblem confronting the Negroes
Of the country today. The organl-
zation has set up an industrial
laboratory in which the experiences
of hundreds of war Industries now
employing Negroes will be anaiy-

If the National Urban League, is
IN charge of the expanded program
Two f1eld secretaries have re-
Gently been added to the national
staff for the purpose of develop
ing the field work. One OF these,
Reginald A. johnson. has been
connected actively with the Nat
ional Urban League since 1880.
The other, Alphonse Heningburg,
has done his work in personnel
and educational administration.
All of the 4S affiliates Of the Lea
que, located in as man cities, are
actively participating in the ex-
banded program.
There are approximately $780,
600 Negro wage-earners In the
country today. Some 100000 of
these are engaged in war and es-
sential industries, while almost a
million are men ane women In
the armed forces. All of these will
be vitality affected by the demobi-
Iization of our armed forces, and
by the change over to q peace
time economy. IF these workers
are faced with wholesale unem-
ployment and enforced idleness af-
ter the war, the social PROGRAM Of
the entire Nation will be retarded.
Thus, the problem Of stabilized en-
ploynent is important not to the
Negro worker alone, but to the
entire country.

sition said, "a1l Of us will do with
out before we let you black people
share it equally with us"
WE GAIN KNOWLEDGE
BY their vote, however, Negro
citizens and colored people al
over the world gain knowledge. We
were informed that America, refus-
ing to put its own racial house ir
order, is very definitely not ready
to assume world leadership in di-
recting the destinies of other peo-
pies, the vast majority of whom
are colored.
We were told by their actions
that these gentlemen of the
senate consider the Four Free
dOms just so many words with
out meaning; that as long as
they can keep their seats by
the grace of the poll tax and
white primary, this doctrine
will never become real to the
100000 black Americans,
whose .sons freely risk their
lives in the hope that their flu
ture in the land Of opportunity
will not be as dark as has been
their past.
We learned too, at least those
few who did not yet realize 1t,
that our fight IS not sectional, nor
national, it is international il.
scope. It is inseparably bound UP
with the struggle of the Indians,
Africans and other of the worlds
peoples who are equal victims of
exploitation, injustice and discrim-
nation. Their fight is our fight,
our fight theirs.
DECISIONS IGNORED
Told us by the action Of the poll
takers, too, was the fact that we
need not expect to be granted the
elemental justice we seek merely
because we are good law-abiding
tax-paying, patient citizens. APP
peals for justice through the courts
is a slow and costly process. Toe
otter if q decision IN won, its
implications are merely ignored by
those who are determined that we
shall never enjoy equality.
Senator Georges explanation
that Nobody who had any
fear Of federal control Of edu-
cation i. the states could vote
for this bill IS amended" is
just SO much double talk. He
meant that he, and all Of the
other poll takers stood unalter-
ably opposed to granting equal
teachers salaries equality Of
