Well may the writer's of Negro
history rejoice, for this is verify
their heydey. Not in recorded his
tory has there been a time when
the Negro rose to greater or grand
er heights of moral grandeur. Ne
groes are helping to write one of
the most dramatic chapters in the
history of the world.
The Negroes fight is in reality
the flight of faith" for whereas
the white man is fighting for what
he has enjoyed and what he now
enjoys, the Negro is fighting for
what he hopes to enjoy. More then
is his credit! He is giving the
world its greatest lesson in super
patriotism. He is therefore laying
the foundation for greater things
in the postwar world.
The doors on which he has
knocked in vain so long must open
by and by and thousand things
are conspiring to this desired end.
There is the divinity that shapes
human ends that will not be de-
MED. The divinity that laid the
foundation of the Negroes physical
emancipation during the ice age is
still at work in nature and society
and cannot be foiled by the design
ing forces of a hundred hells. These
Negroes fighting in the armed
forces of this nation are showing
this world something it has not
seen before, namely, loyalty and
patriotism at their best.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
OFFICERS
This article is inspired by two
recent conversations with soldiers
on leave. One spoke of his fine
superior officer for whom he would
gladly fight even unto death. This
officer made him feel like a man
and treated him as such with all
due respect to his personality and
manhood. Strangely enough, he
said this officer hailed from Vir-
ginia, a Virginian by birth.
The other soldier told of his
fine superior officer who hailed
from New York state, being a
native New Yorker. Here we
have two brave Negro soldiers
with white superior officers
whose fine treatment had made
them feel like giving their all
for their nation.
These men are the kind to COM

PLAIN
TALK
BY ELMER CARTER

Francis E. Rivers in the City
of New York has more signifi-
canoe than is apparent at first
glance. For it was not enough
for Francis E. Rivers to be a
brilliant lawyer and that no one
will deny; it was not enough that
he possess a high sense of honor
and integrity and that he surely
does; it was not enough that he
had the respect of citizens of both
races because of his unimpeachable
character and that he has.
But with all these qualifications
Francis E. Rivers could not have
been elected against a so fOrmid-
able opponent as Joseph Higgins
by the cOlOred vote alone even if it
had all been cast for him, and
strange to say it wasn't. To win he
had to have the support of thou
sands and thousands of white vOt-
ers who had to be able to rise above
the consideration of color and race
and to support the man whom the
great bar associations of the City
of New York had pronounced the
best qualified.
The result of the election is a
vindication of the judgment of Gov
ernor Dewey, not only in his selec-
ton but in his appraisal of public
reaction to the appointment.
No more practical lesson could
be administered to those Negroes
who have been intent on a program
designed to create a purely black
electorate as they are intent on
creating purely black Harlem.
For if the Negro is ever to attain
high political office, it must be by
the combined vote of both cOlOred
and white citizens for the Negro
population alone can only guaran-
tee election in districts predOmi-
nantly Negro if then. And for the
most part the Offices dependent on
mere district support are the small
er political offices, unless through
gerrymandering a solid Negro
senatorial or congressional district
is created.
I realize that by this method
(gerTymandering) the Negro cleo
torate has often been effectively
deprived of proper representation
although there is no inherent guar
antee that a colored man in office
will always act to the best inter-
ests of his people. All things being
equal, however, a colored man
should be more sensitive to the
needs and aspirations and handi-
caps of his race than the average
white man who runs for office in
predominantly Negro area. And I
suppose that until racial and color
considerations are minimized this
will be true.
But the strategy of Negro politi-
cal leadership should be not to Gre
ate and perpetuate the racial bloc,
but rather to attain power and rep
resentatiOn through alliances and
coalitions with other groups which
can benefit by the support of the
Negro electorate as the Negro can
benefit by their support.
This is the lesson in the election
of Francis E. Rivers and 1 hope
the election of Benjamin Davis, an
able, courageous, sincere champion
of all the under-privileged, both
black and white. The vote for Davis
was gratifying Il have not ana
lyzed it in the Negro districts). But
from the reports it appears that
the Negro electorate is achieving
political acumen and is not being
stampeded by party labels and slo-
gans.
