when taken by assault"
Officers RESPONSIBLE,


In view of this, Mr.. Czarnomski
makes this suggestion: The total
number of German officers is about
250,0OO They and they alone should
be made responsible for the hideous
mass of suffering inflicted on Europe.
The German military commanders,
in spite of their plain responsibility
for the proper treatment of civilians,
are actively directing outrages, and,
in the case of reprisal shootings of
hostages, for example, the general
officers conmanding-as, for in
stance, Gen. Won Stulpnagel in
France, Gen. Won Falkenhorst in
Norway, etc.-are actually signing
the death warrants.
He suggests, therefore, that unless
the officers of the armed forces OF
Germany, within a specified time
make themselves responsible for the
safety of the lives and property OF
civilians in the occupied countries OF
Europe, the Allied nations shall ap-
point an international tribunal, en-
powered to condemn all officers o1
the German armed forces from the
rank of cadet to that of field mar
shall, to penal servitude, sentence
to which no term is set; and that
Immediately after the unconditiona,
surrender of Germany, the United
Nations shall arrest these officers
and remove them to forced labor
camps in such overseas countries as
Evening star., 1943-04-05

may be convenient for internment.
He also proposes that all the
monies and all movable and i'm
movable property of the convicted
officers shall be confiscated, seized
and disposed of for purposes of in
Identifying the widows and orphans
of the victims of German terror in
the occupied countries.
This proposal seems to fall in
with Stains vigorous insistence that
we cannot destroy whole people
Mr.. Czarnomski would make the
officer class, as class, a vicarious
sacrifice for the people they have
misled. Such a just and reasonable
discrimination would drive wedge

as applied to Negroes in industry
may come back with cyclonic speed
when the present emergency is end
ed. The Negro boy and girl who
has followed a carefully planned
school program will be in a much
better position to obtain paying
job in the post war period.
The responsibility for making
the decision to go back to school
cannot be left to the children. 1t
is primarily the parents response
bility. We all know that the
$500. $500 or $4,000 a week
addition to the family income which
a child may now be bringing in is
hard to refuse. The child himself
may see no reason in denying him
self a weekly income which he may
not be able to earn even with an
education. 1t should be clear to
every parent that present wages
will not continue; that many plants
will be closed down; that millions
will be out of work and those who
remain will undoubtedly have to
take cuts in wages. The adolescent
boy and girl will be the first to go.

Letters to the
Editor
Urges Youth on
Necessity to Go
Back to School

Editor: The United States Chill
dren's Bureau reports that at least
four million children between the
ages of fourteen and seventeen
years are at work this summer in
stores, factories and on farms. The
Children's Bureau is urging all in
terested organizations, agencies
and persons to support Back to
School" program so that these chill
dren will not make an unwise
choice and remain on jobs.
If it has done nothing else, the
war boom in industry has clearly
shown the value of education and
training. To date the government
and industries, through govern
ment aid, have taken the lead in
making this training possible. 1t
goes without saying that this will
not always be the case any more
than there will always be more
jobs than people to do them. Fur
thermore, the training and educa-
ton that industry and the gov
eminent are giving will not, in
many cases, be disable in industries
during the post war period.
This campaign to get children
back to school should have a spe-
cial appeal to Negroes. The old
axiom "last hired and first fired"

Card of Thanks

Our entire family wishes to thank
every one of our friends for the
lovely cards and flowers received
during our recent bereavement at
the death of our dear sister, Mrs.
Lille Adams, in Chicago, August
II. We especially thank Mrs. Pearl
Buckner, Mrs. Belle Benton and
Mrs. Roberta Tyler for their love-
ly sympathy card and flowers. We
are also very grateful to our pas
tor, Rev. Clarence T. R. Nelson, for
the message of coincidence and to
the many friends who sent cards
and called on US, including Mr.. and
Mrs. Jack Clack of MINNEAPOLIS
and many others whom we haven't
the space to name.
Thanks to all and may the Lord
bless you all.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN ON LABOR

Lincoln, the apostle of the Republican Party had this
to say of Labor which think is worthy of repetition
here "Inasmuch most good things are produced by
labor it follows that all such things ought to belong to
those whose labor has produced them But it has hap
pened in all ages of the world that have abored
and Others without labor have enjoyed large proportion
of the fruits This is wrong and should not continue
To to each aborer the whole product of his labor

eminent" Abraham Lincoln

of the Negro during the postwar
years. / would like to see a COM
mittee with white and Negro repre-
sentatives with such able scholars
as Franklin Mailer, Abram Harris,
Charles S. Johnson, Rafael O'Hara
Lanier, Robert S. Weaver, repre-
senting the Negro, assemble the
facts as to the Negroes position
in industry now, the total number
employed in purely war industries,
according to skills, the number
enrolled in labor organizations
where seniority rules are enforced
and the tendencies now present in
labor industry. The committee
then, after a study of the postwar
plans of various industries, and
federal and state and municipal
agencies would be able to have a
scientific basis for postwar plan
ming and could thereby save ire
mendous amount of time and
money and waste motion.
We suffer a lot from leadership
making waste motions, shadow box
ing, jockeying for position and
preening for publicity. Industry is
making postwar plans, the govern
ment is making postwar plans,
every state and city is making post
war plans. What are we doing /?
There will be plenty of people to
tell us what happened after it has
happened. But before any intelli-
gent program can be launched we
ought to have some knowledge of
the facts, in front.

Aunts In Pants

One thing | like about the WACS,
They haven't had to put on Stacks,
Among the mirrors salient facts,
Pants don't make Bucks out of Macks.
IT'S queer the girl with large caboose,
The tighter Stacks will always choose,
While skinny femmes need scant excuse
To drape themselves in trousers loose.
Stacks no doubt are unitarian
To factory girls, brown or aryan,
But the combination slack and corset,
No woman's mag would dare endorse it.
Some raise the claim that Stacks do much
For skinny limbs, bow-legs and such,
But there's no pair of pants on earth
That minimize a woman's girth.
One must admit long, ancient dresses
We're useless, inconvenient messes,
But grandma would have had some tussle
Getting Stacks above her hustle.
A brooches craze is no new sensation,
1t hanks way back to the Creation,
For one of Adams greatest peeves
Was Eva's slack suit made of leaves.

munition factories, roplane
plants, restaurants, department
stores, and governmental offices are
going to be discharged. Hundreds
and thousands of whites will also be
discharged, but we will go first.
Each hour the time grows nearer.
Hitler can't win. How long he will
attempt to postpone his inevitable
doom no one can accurately say,
but it won't be long now. And with
the approach of Hitler's collapse
the American Negro will face the
greatest crisis in his history.
There is convincing evidence that
after the war that part of the
South which is reactionary is going
to attempt to put the Negro in
his place for keeps, and that a
prodigious effort will be made by
certain elements in the South to
enforce and extend legalized segre-
cation. Millions of returned white
soldiers are expected to provide the
means of intimidation of the Negro
and to supply the extra legal
methods so often utilized in that
section of the country. The evil
dence is just as convincing that
attempts will be made by certain
groups in the North to eliminate
the Negro from whatever skilled
or semi-skilled status he has at
tanned during the war, and that
throughout the nation there are
groups within the labor movement
and without, determined to relegate
the Negro back to where he started
from.
The times demand racial states
manship of the highest order; de-
mand more than the ability to
squawk loud and long. Anybody
can squawk. 1t doesn't take extra
ordinary intelligence to tell Negroes
that they are catching hell. The
Negro in the factory, in the steel
mill, in the shipyards, in the Army
and Navy knows it better than
those who attempt to tell him about
it-knows it from bitter experience
day by day.
The most impressive effort which
appears at the present time, and
the only one that appears to have
any real conception of it's task is
in the South where Negro leader
ship has recently joined with white
leadership as a result of the Dur
ham and Atlanta conferences. The
strategy of the South and that of
the North will have ultimately the
same ends although it's methods
and its technique may differ. Such
movements as the Keep Your Job"
campaign are laudable, but it is
unfortunate that the planning COM
mittee does not have more members
who are identified with, and have
the respect of great masses of
Negroes. Such a committee should
have included the Negro labor
leaders, North and South, and GER
tainly the leaders of great fraternal
organizations-men like Finley
Wilson who exercises widespread
influence on thousands of Negro
workers.

mittee which will chart the course

watch takes, it must be backed by
bases s-b bases located and stocked
with modern weapons keyed to the
uses and requirements of air power.
THE PAST: For 12O years the United
States laid plans that might be
termed quartersphere defense. We
were pledged under the Monroe
Doctrine to defend Latin America
from outside aggression, but there
was no evident plan to carry out
this task if the doctrine were seri-
ously challenged.
In our prewar setup, Cavite, near
Manila, and Guantanamo, Cuba,
were little more than refueling de-
pots and minor repair ports for the
Fleet. Dutch Harbor, Alaska, was an
important Navy patrol headquar-
ters backed by air forces at Kodiak,
Alaska. Now Kodiak and Dutch Har-
Dor supply an air-attack base in the
Western Aleutians from which we
hammer the Japanese on Kiska.
The prewar Pacific base program
hinged on Pearl Harbor as the CEN
ter of a line running south from
Dutch Harbor and Kodiak to the
Hawaiians and east to the Panama
Canal. Pearl Harhor was connected
Evening star., 1943-04-09

Atlantic: Our Atlantic patrols will
involve close cooperation with Brit
ain, although we shall be able and
probably will desire to exercise a
larger hand in that ocean than prior
to 1889. The importance of air
commerce gives the United States
vital interest in protection and
maintenance alike of the northern
route to Europe via Newfoundland,
Greenland, and Iceland, and in the
southern route through Trinidad,
Brazil and on to Africa.
This plan raises no concern re-
garding the northern routes which
terminate in Great Britain, but does
meet with strong impact on the
question of Africa. 1t creates the
question whether we should not
seek American air and naval facili-
ties in the vicinity of Dakar, Gam
bia, or Freetown, or at least estab-
lish facilities in Liberia. Here is
terminus that tests the Mahan
theory.
Europe: The immediate postwar
problem of policing Germany, Italy,
and Japan, and their satellite coun-
tries will be carried out by theforces
which conquer them and by the
commanders of those forces, it is
anticipated, but beyond that emer-
gency period there is the problem
of the long watch to see that the
trouble makers keep the peace.
The European policing operation
involves large calculations in air
and ground forces plus probably
heavy supply requirements to be
shipped by surface vessels from the
United States until Europe again
has rehabilitated its food supplies.
To sea control of the Mediter-
ranean, which will continue to be
exercised by the bases at Gibraltar,
Malta, and Alexandria, has been
added the element of air security.
The logical center for concentra-
ton of bomber and fighting airplanes
perhaps for troops to be flown by
glider to any troubled spot in South
ern Europe - is Tunisia, which at
Bizerte sticks like fist up into the
Western Mediterranean. Military
students see the further need for
air bases probably at Crete and, if
an arrangement could be made with
Turkey, near Ankara.
Britain will stand as guardian
Evening star., 1943-04-09

can nations and whether they will
be made elsewhere is a question
which has been left in abeyance
until the war is over.
The third method - access to
bases owned by friendly nations
is the one on which we are relying
most heavily during the war. Some
OF these are outposts built or ex-
panded with our money. We have
them, on reciprocal basis, with
Brazil and Iceland, and by friendly
arrangement with various smaller
Latin American countries, such as
Guatemala. For practical purposes,
our bases and those of Great Brit
ain and most of her dominions are
pooled. This is one evidence of the
firmest and most far-fung collabo-
ration ever achieved by two major
military allies.
The main trend of thought in our
government is toward extending
this wartime practice of pooling in
to the postwar world and amplify-
ing it to embrace the other United
Nations. This would not mean that
the British Fleet would base on Nor
folk or San Diego or Hawaii, any
more than that the United States
Fleet would normally base on Scapa
Flow. 1t would mean, however, the
mutualizing of key bases essential
to world policing such as Singapore
and Gibraltar and Dakar or Free
town. The same test of mutual need
and mutual value could be applied
to various military air bases, such
as those we will need in French
North Africa for the protection of
the Western Hemisphere, as we'll as
to those needed for close control of
the defeated aggressors and the po-
licing of the world generally.
After their recent experiences,
many of the relatively weak nations
are likely to feel more secure if they
grant base rights to major friendly
powers. Likewise, the great powers
can be expected to mutualize bases
to the extent that they trust each
other. If the determination to COL
laborate in preserving the peace
permeates the victors, and espe-
cially the "big FOUR" the legal and
technical arrangements for the COM
mon use of various bases will be
solved easily. If this determination
is missing, the negotiations may
sow the seeds of the next war. The
arrangements made for the use of
bases will be the surest test of the
character of the peace.
Evening star., 1943-04-09

we have the right to use in peace
time the far-flung commercial air
ports discussed in this department
in the past.
IhE FUTURE: What is the outline of
base requirements to protect the
United States?
Pacific: We shall no longer, in
the postwar world, let security de-
pend on a tenuous line westward
across the Pacific which ends at the
Philippines. Such a defense is con-
sidered no defense at all and it
would leave us impotent, as it did
before, to be of assistance to China
or to watch Japan.
The rough plans in outline indi-
cate chain of strong bases, with air
and ground forces and sea patrol,
from Pearl Harbor to the southern
doorstep of Japan. With Midway
and Wake Islands as stepping
stones, Guam will be turned into
fortress, as the Navy has desired
for many years. Palau Island will
become the intermediate stop be-
tween Guam and the Philippines,
where our treaty rights with that
island country permit full develop
ment of facilities.
Linking the Philippines and Jap
an, there could be a series of works
ranging through the Island of For
mosa and the Ryukyu Archipelago
right into Nagasaki, an excellent
spot in Japan from which to assure
control over that country.
The North Pacific will find US far
stronger than ever before, probably
with Kiska developed as a way sta
ton on the road to Kamchatka,
Russian territory and, we assume,
friendly territory. For the future, as
tar as one can see, the Russian forces
at Vladivostok will face Japan from
the west. The Pacific shore of Asia
also will find strong United Nations
forces at the key points of Singa-
pore and Hong Kong.
With Japan thus insulated, it will
be matter of future estimate as to
the forces required to assure the
security of the Netherlands Indies,
security formerly based on the
false premise that Britain's great
naval establishment at Singapore
could do this trick in conjunction
with American naval forces in the
Pacific.
