Japan's Big Error

California and the west has
been the abode of the Japanese
in this country. Colored and
japanese haven't been in con-
tact as much as have white and
japanese. If the present Japan
csc effort to unite Asia fails, 1t
will be because the Japanese
have been too aloof and have
been poor mixers" with other
80 cAlled "eoIoredp races, espec-
tally the Chinese. In her zeal to
immitate the every Characters
tic of the white race, Japan adj
opted self same racial-superior-
ity policies that wrecked Italy
and which will wreck Hitler and
which, I trust, will eventually
wreck the Cracker coalition"
Efforts of any nation to rule
from platform of racial SUI
periorities in Asia, is just as bad
as the same policy in Europe,
Africa, or the Americans. Who
ever employs this stupid policy
must fail in the end.

A.P Randolph

No minority group can sur
yive and GO progressively for
ward where there is no law and
order. Violence and bloodshed is
not the road to community
peace, cooperation and advance
ment. Violence begets violence,
bloodshed begets bloodshed and
always the minority groups are
the chief victims.
Although this is a period OF
tension, it is we'll for us frankly
and fearessly to face the fact
that the outbreak of disorder
in Harlem is merely a symptom
of deep chronic disease Of
racial segregation, discrimina-
ton and injustice to colored
people. The remedy is not loot
ing stores and abusing and at
lacking white citizens or con-
demning colored citizens as
vicious and reckless vandals, but
it les n sound and constructive
racial cooperation.
1T is unfortunate that the
policeman shot the colored
soldier which served as a fuse
to light an already existing
magazine which was ready for
explosion. If it had not been the
shooting of the soldier, it might
have been something else. The
important thing is that tn eco
nomic and social dynamite is
here and it is a result of long
series of social, economic and
political injustices heaped upon
colored people"

GREATEST BASEBALL PITCHER HERE AUG z

Kansas City Monarchs will make

Paige comes here from an ex-

turned out to see the famous
star in action.
Standing #. and weighing
1870 pounds, the great Satchel
has pitched in 125 games per
season for the past seven year.
He plays 10 months of the year
and from all indications, he's
improving with age. This year,
since returning from Puerto Rico
where he played last winter,
Paige has twirled in Kansas
City, Denver, Cincinnati, YAM
kee Stadium, Comiskey Park,
with the world champion Mon
archS.
Paige still relies on his fast
ball, which he considers his best
pitch. His fast ball is really fast
and his curTe ball is of the
sweeping type.
