the results of $50 years of
shameful disloyalty and discrim-
nation and death that has been
meted out to the American Ne
gro, the worlds most loyal sub
Lord, we shudder to think what
jects.
Let's Not Blame God
God, our creator warned all
mankind that to have peace and
harmony in family or nation, we
must of a necessity, LOVE OUR
NEIGHBORS AS OURSELVES,
AND DO UNTO OTHERS AS WE
WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO
US. Our capitalistic system as
administered, has no place for
this most important command
from the Father and Saviour of
all mankind. We have allowed
this deadly monster greed to find
Judgement in our many hearts,
and today we are paying the
awful price, for having allowed
this hideous enemy to all man
kind, grow and prosper in the
hearts and seats, of our world
leaders, in Church and State. To-
day this same full grown mon
ster, arrayed in the garments of
a saint, holding the Cross of
Christ before him. drunk with
power given him by leaders of
State and Church, parades the
world and demands accounting
of these leaders for the part they
have taken in abetting his cruel
and unjust practice on all man
kind.
The Accounting
This same monster Greed, now
stands before the Pope at Rome,
who is said to be the head of
Christ's Church on earth, and |
asks the question, Why Did YOU
Bless the Armed Forces of Your
Country to go Forth, and Stay |
Your Black Brother? He stands |
before the President of the U. S.
and asks him the Question, WHY |
DID YOU SEAL YOUR LIPS
WHEN YOUR OFFICE AS
OF AMERICA WAS
FLOODED WITH PRAYERS
AND PETITIONS FROM ALL
ORGANIZATIONS IN
TO USE YOUR Elk
ECUTIVE POWER TO HAVE
THE ANTI-LYNCH LAW PASS
ED? This same monster is de-
of the rulers of Eng
and and France WHY THEY
FAILED TO HELP SELASSIE
SAVE ETHIOPIA, WHEN TAKEN
ADVANTAGE OF BY ITALY?
Well, We see daily the disastrous
We are so disappointed,
n our unfair dealings with our
,rothers, that the God that every
oul has within it, is destroying
II that is mortal and sinful, and
demanding a Righteous Govern
nent. Our greed for material
yealth and political power, has
rought disorder of every kind

of our Country. Will

Union now amounts to $202,-
500, all of which were pur-
chased out of the surplus
funds of the Credit Union. Pur-
chase of the bonds during the
present bond drive is nothing out
of the ordinary for this organiza-
ton which has purchased $4,000
worth of bonds during the past
two months.
Large Membership
Composed of 29OO members and
possessing assets amounting to
$31S,500, the large amount of war
bonds purchased by the Spicer
Credit Union is far in excess of
anything asked for by the federal
government. Moreover, the Credit
Union has sold 100000 series E
defense bonds in cash purchases
to Spicer employees.
The payroll deduction plan used
widely in the Spicer plant BY en-
ayees in purchasing bonds was

Chest
Many
Agencies

With the approach of the annual
fall campaign of the Greater To-
ledo Community War Chest, CIO
members, as well as all residents
of the Toledo area, are interested
in the vast and far-reaching work
of the Chest.
The Community War Chest has
combined with the National War
Fund, Inc, to make fewer cam
paigns necessary and to organize
the ALLEGATION of funds with no
drives duplicating the work of
others.
The NWF benefits agencies on
the military front, the home front
and the United Nations front. Most
Toledoans are familiar with the
agencies and work done by Chest
funds on the home front. The other
two groups include II agencies
that are affiliated with NWF.
These are the USO, United Sea-
mems Service, British War Relief
Society, United China Relief, Queen
Wilhelmina Fund, Greek War Re-
li'f Association, Polish War Relief,
Russian War Relief, United Yugo-
slav Relief Fund, United Czecho-
slav Relief Fund, War Prisoners
Aid, L. S. Committee for Care of
European Children, French Relief
Fund, Norwegian Relief, Belgian
War Relief Society, Refugee Re-
lief Trustees and Friends of Lux
embourg.
The work of these agencies
covers many aspects of relief work.
Part of the work carried on aids
our armed forces and their auxil-
iaries. The USO and United Sea-
mems Service provide recreational
and morale building facilities.
Material needs and education and
recreational programs for war
prisoners are carried on by the re-
lief societies and by War Prisoners
Aid.
Other agencies carry on work in
the fields of relief of occupied
countries, assistance to unoccupied
areas, aid to refugees and commu-
nifty services for civilians at home.

Network 70
Exclude CEO
And All.

WASHINGTON, Sept. II fFP)
President Mark Woods of the
Blue Network Sept. 10 told the
Federal Communication Commits
sion that he would sell time to the
Ford Co. to sponsor Commentator
w. J. Cameron on the air, but he
would not sell time to the CIO on
a similar program.
He was questioned by Chairman
James L. Fly, and Commissioner
Clifford ]. Durr as the FEC
opened a hearing to determine
whether the proposed transfer of
the Blue Network to Ed Noble,
owner of WMCA and head of the
Lifesaver Corp, is in the interest
Of the public welfare.
Asked about good will or insti-
tutional programs, he said he
thought it a good idea for COM
panies to tell what they were doing
to win the war if they didn't men,
ton their products. But let the
CIO or AFL tell what they're
doing to win the war? No, sir, not
Woods. He told Fly he wouldn't
because they have a special phil
osophy to present.
AT one point Fly reminded the
witness that "labor doesn't want
handouts" it wants the same
rights that others have to buy time
on the air.
Hearings were continued to Sept.
20, when ClO Publicity Director
Len DeCaux is scheduled to testi-
fly. The CIo petitioned FEC to
intervene in the hearing, asking
that machinery be provided for
appeal or relief from discrimin-
atory actions of network owners.

tions, which, the union paper points
out, were voluntarily lifted by the
unions for the wars duration.
