knew they couldn't keep up with

And that's just what happened"
How well this strategy sue

POSTWAR JOBS

Some extremely interesting and
significant things are being said
about the problem of postwar
employment which should be
carefully considered.
The end of the war will mean
a cessation of war orders and the
forced closing of numerous
plants, and that means unempioy-
ment, at least until some plants
are retooled
Soldiers and sailors are only
going to be gradually discharged,
it is said. while women and
youths will be promptly dis
charged; but even this will not
stave off unemployment.
What plans are Negro leaders
making to cope with this prob
lem which will be especially
tough for Negroes?
Can Negroes do anything con-
structive about this? If so,
ought we not busy ourselves
about it now while the war is on
and wages are plentiful?-Pitts-
burgh Courier.

HATRED?

America reads with a thrill the
deeds of heroism her sons are
performing overseas. With par
donable pride she pats the back
of the pilot who has brought
down 10 zeros. With affection,
she singles out for honor the
Guadalcanal machine gunner who
held a whole corps of Japs at
bay. But her JOY turns to acid,
her pride is humbled to the dust,
her thrill leaves her nerveless
and languishing. when one of her
soldiers speaks words like these:
Il Hate the Japs
1t is hard not to hate when
beastiality and cruelty stare a
man in the face. Does the Pole
look on with calm when his sis
ter, loved and chaste, is defiled
before his very eyes? Surely the
Czech mothers heart must writhe
when her children are slaugh-
tered like cattle. The soul of
the starving Greek must seeth
within him as he prowls around
garbage cans seeking dinner"
for his family. Could any Amer
lean soldier be unmoved as he
watches the buddies he has
learned to love, moved down like
stalks of wheat?
Such scenes rouse passion; but
must they sire hate? Must Uncle
Sans heroes follow those who
think with their hearts as they
depreciate the distinction of
"hate the sin but love the sim
ner." Hate is a base, ignoble
motive. 1t puts CLINT in the
eye, yes, and it sets the teeth on
edge; but it never drives to real
heroism. 1t eheapens the stand
ard of glorious patriotism that
American soldiers follow at the
front. Desire of freedom, love
of peace, defense of the vital
rights of men-these are the en-
blems Americas fighting men
must, and do, look up to. Hate
only drags them down to the
level of those they are fighting.
These lofty ideals, buried deep in
their hearts, lift their struggles
above the mere bloody passion to
the dignity of crusade. Their
warfare becomes a concentrated
thing.-Ephpheta.
