COngratulates Mother
on Sons Training

The following letter was receives
this week by Mrs. Leila A. Smith
500 W. Central Ave., st. Paul
mother Of o. Donald Smith, S nc
stationed at the U. S. Naval Train
ing School, Hampton Institute
Hampton, Va.
My dear Mrs. Smith:
Your son has maintained an
average of ninety or better for
the past four weeks, and conse-
quently has been on the honor
roll for that period.
The work covered by stu
dents in the sixteen-week pc
riod is quite intensive and in
practical work is equivalent to
two years in an ordinary col
lege. Our standards are very
high, and competition, while
friendly, is keen. You can see,
therefore, the significance of
a student appearing on the
honor roll for four consecu-
tive weeks.
We believe that the progress
made by your son is due large
ly to the training and guild
ance under your supervision
through the years, hence, we
feel that congratulations are in
order to you both.
Very sincerely yours,
Edwin 81. Downes,
eut.-Comdr., DIV (G),
USNR.,
Commanding Officer,

the manner in which Negroes are
treated. In addition, the Detroit
conference hopes to consider and
perfect plans by which the interest
and cause Of Negroes will be rep
resented at the Peace Table in the
postwar period.
At no period in our American
history has it been more urgently
vital and imperative than now that
effective and long-range planning
be made on behalf of Negro Amer
leans and their future status. For
no matter how seriously certain
writers and speakers may contend
that jim-crowism, segregation and
other racial wrongs should be left
to the South for solution, the ines
capable fact is that the color ques-
ton ceases to be sectional matter
and that by the very pressure of
the times, it becomes in scope, a
national and international concern.
And in the words of one recent
writer, "How free is a man who
cannot go where other men go, or
work where other men work, be-
cause he is of a different color?"
That is the question a great many
Negroes are asking, and will con-
tinue to ask.
There can be no honest blinking
the fact that in the North, now
almost as in the South, that anti
discrimination laws, dis guised
though they may be, operate
against the Negro effectively as
they do in the South. So that the
Detroit Conference is not only
faced with problems more involved
than ever in our history, but like
wise, is challenged to prosecute
wise and long-range plans by which
these colored Americans can share
more equitably in their government.
We believe that the conscience of
America will come to a fuller and
more just realization of this vision
and challenge of the Four Free
doms.-Atlanta World.

An incredible amount of hog

Germany will learn that dicta-
torship doesn't pay. We hope other

Social Problems VS.. Army
The army keeps ducking behind
it's old argument that it cannot
solve social problems. All right.
Then it ought not create social
problems. If it feels it cannot make
the white southerners change their
ways, then it ought not expect the
northern Negroes to change their
way. Why should they?-Roy VIII
kins.
Why Britain?
Why chastise Britain for saying
India is not yet ready to rule her
self Independently? Don't forget
that we (the U. S. granted the
Philippines complete freedom and
independence"-but to go into effect
several years later.-S. w. Cor
lington.

JAMAICA NEGROES VS..
NATIVES
The government brought several
thousand Jamaica, B. W. l., Ne
groes over here to work as farm
laborers. But it was careful to ex-
plain that these people were not
accustomed to racial discrimination
and must be handled accordingly.
But for its own Negroes, the gov
eminent, through the War depart
ment, says not a word. Everyone
knows that Negroes reared, edu-
Gated and trained in New York
State resent bitterly and violently
the treatment handed out by Mis-
sissippi and Georgia whites. There
is no way on earth for the War de-
partment to make them like it.
There is no law which says they
have to stand it indefinitely. These
men from Harlem know that men
are just men and that whiteness
does not make a man superior.
That may be the thought in Mis-
sissippi, but not in Manhattan. We
know better.
This situation brings up the old
question of why the War depart
ment sends northern Negro troops
to be trained in the South. If the
department is determined to follow
this policy, then it would seem that
it is obligated to insist that its
soldiers be treated as soldiers and
not as slaves-Roy Wilkins.

I'VE shall push forward until the Battle Of the
South Pacific becomes the Battle OF Japan" Ad-
nirat William F. Hatsey Jr said recently.
Admiral Ernest J. King, commander in chief OF
The U S. Fleet, has declared that America is fol-
lowing definite plan Of operations in the Pacific.
General Douglas Macarthur has pledged that
his troops will return TO the Philippines.
Allied sea, air and land forces under General
Macarthur at the present time are Engaged in
pincer movement on the Japs' bastion at Rabau.
New Britain Island, from New Guinea and from the
northern SoIomons.
From these statements and the Solomon ec-
+ion military observers see Indication OF an Al
lied plan to use Rabau as a stepping stone for an
attack on Japan from the south or drive westward
TO the Philippines and thence north to Japan.
RabauI and Truk are regarded as the two most
important bases in the enemys defense barrier east
Of The Philippines. On them rests Japan's donina-
+ion Of that area.
With Rabou in Allied hands, our forces would
be within 800 miles Of Truk, Japan's great naval
base and The next jump north From Truk the am
phibious road TO Tokyo could be by way Of Guam,
the Mariana Islands and the Bonin Islands.
Such drive north from RabauI to Tokyo. OBJ
servers believe, would call for auxiliary actions TO
The east TO knock out the Japanese positions on Po-
nape Wake. the MarshaIs and the Gibertlslands.
This would open more direct supply route to Ra-
bauI.
IA Using RobaUl as major supply point, west
ward approach TO Japan by way OF Pafau, the Philip
pines and Formosa is to be considered in view of
General MacArthur's pledge TO The Philippines. An
attack by This route would isolate oil the Japanese
holdings in French ndo-China, Burma, Malaya and

Brewster Urges Top
Post for Macarthur

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. IA plea that
Gen. Douglas Macarthur be put in
full command of military opera
tions in the South Pacific was
made last night by Senator Brew
ster, Republican, of Maine, on the
National Broadcasting Co. March
Of Time" program.
Senator Brewster, who recently re-
turned from a visit to Gen. Mac
Arthur'S headquarters. said that
while we were in the Pacific, opera
tlons were proceeding simultane-
ously in New Guinea and New
Georgia Island-but under separate
commands. At Lac and Salamaua
on New Guinea. masterful co-ordi-
nation of Allied ground sea and
power was displayed in an offensive
personally supervised by Gen. Mac
Arthur and 1t. Gen. George C.
kenney. Losses were at minimum.
Meanwhile at Munda on New
Georgia where Macarthur was not
in direct control, three major mill
tary commanders were required in
three weeks-such changes cannot
help but mean greater sacrifice"
Senator Brewster said: "One can
not help wishing that Macarthur
had the same authority and respon-
sibility on New Georgia that he
exercises in New Guinea. My only
plea is to place actual military op-
erations there under one man

The Allied announcement said
Italian army, air and naval forces
already had been engaged ac-
lively against what it termed "the
common enemy, Germany" but
| there was no immediate indication
whether there would be a formal

the Nazis.
The Importance attached to the
dramatic conference between Ba-

the British battleship Nelson in
Malta Harbor. where there still is
abundant and graphic evidence of
the devastation once wrought by
Italian as we'll as German bomDers,

the top-ranking members of Gen.

Cooperation Emphasized.
Those attending included Gen. Sir

Marshal Sir Arthur w. Tedder, the
Mediterranean air commander;
Harold Macmillan, British Minister

United States Minister to North
Africa, and Maj. Gen. Walter Bedell
Smith, Eisenhower chief of staff.
The official statement on the
conference emphasized military CO.
operation against Germany, but the
1 presence of Mr.. Murphy and Mr.
Macmillan suggested that the sud-
den emergence of Italy as a fight
ing cobelligerent of the United
Nations also was discussed.
