When everybody danced the

When people read Scott Fitz-

the dancers just a phase of a post

HE KNOWS WOMEN

Today some 20 years later, A

That is why the women'S prison

are also being taught simple
school subjects. When they are
free they should be able TO make

"he League is devoting its whole
organizational strength to serve

This calls for increased activity
in a number of fields = war en-
ployment and housing of Negroes,

with federal and state agencies,
recruiting of Negro men and wo-
men for service in war industry,
civilian defense, and other essen
tial activities. The leagues war
time responsibilities have increas-
ed faster than our budget. We
are forced to put first things first

they will do the most good. OPP

ing some of it sfunds to other

Tennessee johnson" is a pic
ture whihc purports to tell the
story of President Andrew John
son, the traitorous successor of
Abraham Lincoln, who sought to
do business with the slavecracy
just as M-G-M's Republican pals
would like to do business with
Adolph Hitler and the 10000
German millionaires who operate
the fascist state today. In the
film Johnson is a great hero.
It's release is a serious blow to
the national unity needed for vic
tory. The picture saps the spirit
ual strength of our nation in its
moment of greatest crisis. The
very period from which Americans
can draw their elearest inspiration
for a war against human slavery
is distorted by M-G-M into a
weakened apology for appease-

WE ALL COME UP
FROM SLAVERY
BY RUTH TAYLOR

A very wies man, when asked
how he acquired his great under
standing and friendship toward
all peoles, said I'VE all come up
from slavery" He did not need to
say more, for in those few words
he expressed the brotherhood of
the bonds of common suffering.
Too often we strain so hard to
see the distant rose-touched peaks
ahead that we forget the distance
We have already travelled. We
resent the trail-blazers who are
nearer the peaks, forgetting the
even greater distance through
which they have struggled. We
remember the bondage from
which WE come, and forget the
shackles which hampered others.
We have ALL come up from
slavery, whether it be from the
chains of the Negro, the economic
enslavement of the worker, the
educational enslavement of the
peasant, the shackles of serfdom,
the ghetto of the Jews, or the le-
gal enslavement of women. There
Is not on of us who has not had
to travel the narrow road of slav-
cry somewhere in the past.
We all come up from SLAV-
cry. This is not a plea for the
retention of things as they are. 1t
is not even a plea for patience. 1t
is an appeal for understanding,
for a realization that we all have
had to travel the same long road,
even If centuries divide our paths;
that we are all aspiring to the
same peaks of freedom = not as
groups, but as individuals; and
that here under the faith that is
the foundation OF our republic,
under the ideal that is democracy,
we have the best opportunity in
the world to climb to the heights
to which we all aspire.
We all come UP from slavery.
But we must come up, and not
merely away. We must climb, and,
according to the dictionary, that
means to ascend by personal eff
fort. Others can hold out help
ing hand, as the trail blazers
made clear the path, but we have
to climb for ourselves and by our
selves.
We are in a war against slav-
cry. We know the V that is the
