To Our Readers

DUE TO wartime re-
strictiOns on shipping, the
size Of this weeks paper
had to be of a necessity
reduced. The paper used
by our press comes from
Canada and the shortage
OF shipping has delayed the
arrival of the 16-page

been ordered.
Because of this drastic
reduction in size we have
been forced to reduce

McNutt Against

OF Induction
He Is Advised
To Give FEPC
Same Consideration

WASHINGTON (ANP)-Draf
more Negroes for the army, regard
less of past rulings and considera-
tons OF percentages, is the plea of
Paul V. McNutt, who sees in this
step the elimination Of Necessity
for drafting whites in other CLASH
fications. McNutt has pointed out
that the percentage system has
kept more Negroes out of the army
than any other method. BY elimi-
mating this method of calling draf-
tees for the army and by taking Ne
groes in all branches Of the ser
vices army, navy, marine corps,
without regard for the percentage
quota. an easement on the numbe4.

Ient nor elaborate on it wher
made to his press conference Mon
day, however, his statement was
clear enough to be understood.
War department. officials had no
casnr1sfl't to MIKE on the eljn1i,za-
ton of Their. percentage calling
system.
While MeNilrt is willing to see
that Negroes are called into the
army regardless of the number or
percentage he has done nothing
about the FEPC in which Negroes
themselves are intensely inter-
ested
Calling Negroes for the army by
quota has left a large pool of Ne
groes with IA classifications,
McNutt says. On the other hand,
a large number Of whites has been ;
called into the army exhausting
completely the IA classification
Earlier in the war it was possible
for whites to enlist in all branches
of the service. Negroes were de-
denied this privilege. AS a result,
white men were alrsady draining

Negroes were permitted to joi.-
up.

were being called to the colors, they

Notes From a
Broddcaster's Diary

Is the government farm-conscious?
1t is. l am going to risk a gentle
i]ndiscretion and quote a suggestion
from a high government source to
broadcasters. 1t is part of an ap-
peal to encourage enlistment in u
merchant marine that must have
one hundred thousand skilled work.
ers for the shipyards in 1912; must
have 120. 600 experienced seamen.
Here is the suggestion:
Take care to specify that the
Merchant Marine does not want men
engaged in farming or war produc-
ton work. They do their share now.
Any change would bring more harm
than good. 1t does, however, want
the young, the strong. the adven-
turous for seagoing jobs, and the
skilled capable workers for the ship
yards ="
And the government wants the
skilled farmer to stay on the farm
where he is: Food will win the war
and write the peace.

The Whole Truth

The Nazi regime is not usually
credited with doing much to encour-
age truth. Hitler himself spends
many paragraphs in "Mein Kampf'
telling about the importance Of be-
ing a good liar. But, strange as it
may seem, according to a tale that
is whispered behind the closed doors
Of state department offices, the
Nazis have struck a blow for verify.
Here is the tale which may never
appear in the official communicates
of our ministry of foreign relations.
When Germany declared war on
the United States last December,
after Pearl Harbor, there were still
several hundred Americans, men
and women, living in Paris. Many
of them had lived there for 20 years,
getting their American passports re-
newed periodically. Some of the
ladies, it seems. took advantage Of
these periodical renewals to lop a
couple of years off their age now
and again.
And who would grudge the ladies'
a few years stolen from the calen-
dar, especially in Paris? But the
gentle prevarication bounced back
with a vengeance. For when the
Nazis announced that women under
60 would be informed in concentra-
ton camps, while older women
would be allowed to remain al lib
erty, a certain number of American
women suddenly discovered that the
age shown on their passport was
erroneous. They hurried to the
Swiss consulate, which had charge
Of American interests, and swore
out afndavits to the effect that they
were not, say, As, but g..
Not all of these belated amend
ments were accepted by the Nazi
oficials-gallant for once. The con-
sequence is that the rigors of the
Nazi internment camps are now be-
ing suffered by women who, if they
had been less coquettish about their
years, would now be free.
