Il
ing race in crime stories, since the
colored man is the only person thus
tagged.
PEGLER: They misrepresent the
background facts of all disturb
ances so as to make it appear that
some white man was respon-
sible. -.
PV: Who was responsible for the
race riots which have dotted the
country in recent months, if not
white people? Who invaded the
Negro section of Beaumont, Texas?
Pix taken of the Detroit riOting
invariably show whites beating Ne
groes, and in Negro neighbOrhOOds.
PEGLER: Negro Commu-
nists and fellow travellers always
receive recognition as racial lead
ers.
PV: False. Negroes to date have
been slow to embrace Communism.
Membership rolls of the CP will
prove that Negro membership is
no more than for any other racial
group, prOpOrtiOnately.
PEGLER: Mr.. Field prints in
fammatory rumors. -.
PV: PM, Chicago Sun, Parade
(Field publications. are the fairest
in the entire journalistic field, in
Guiding Pegler's list of syndicate
papers. No papers are more COM
pletely for the man in the street
than the Field publications. PM is
far above the W.T. that it isn't even
funny.
PEGLER: The standard daily
press has handled these very
delicate prob lens with great
tact. -.
PV: Daily press neatly lodges
exposing race discrimination in this
country. Who read anything about
Alton Levy in the WORLD-TEL-
LY? Who has read in the TIMES
a single word about jimcro in the
U. S. Army? The Negro press airs
these inequalities, refusing to
sweep dirt under the nearest bed
and then think that out of sight is
out of mind. Pegler and his daily
press are not even fair to them
selves, much less their journalistic
code of decency, if any JOHN

PEGLER BLASTED FOR HIS
ATTACK ON NEGRO PRESS
(BY John Lewis Clarke in PEOPLES Voice)

Writing in last weeks N. Y.
World Telegram and syndi-
cate newspapers (11-15-43),
the acerbic Westbrook Pegler
turned a sour look upon Com
munists, the Negro press and
Marshall Field" Briefly, Pegler
found the three guilty without trial,
of fomenting racial discord. As
usual, Mr.. Pegler was wrong. This
piece could stop here, period. Any
thing said from here on in becomes
anti-climax. But, just for the hell
of it, let's take Br'er Pegler apart:
Quoting from his column Fair
Enough, we find Pegler is per-
turbed over Attorney General Bid
dies speech deploring racial dis
unity and prejudice. Pegler thinks
though, that the sources of this
dangerous agitation" are the three
groupings named above, "all of
whom exploit for their own pur-
poses the frictions between whites
and Negroes, Gentiles and Jews"
PV REBUTTAL: The COmmu-
nists and Mr.. Field are able to de-
fend themselves. For the Negro
press, PV insists fatty that there
is no desire to exploit" racial dis
unity. The Negro press has al
ways stood firmly for a complete
cessation of racial prejudices, with
clear understanding that in so
doing it was cutting its own throat,
for the Negro press exists purely
because cOlOred people are discrim.
mated against, and cannot get a
fair hearing in the white press.
PEGLER: It happens that all
three of these frictioneers are at
tached or devoted to the New Deal
Party.
PV: Untrue. In 1910, several
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1943-12-03

Negro papers supported Willlie in
preference to Roosevelt. The Ne
gro press likes the New Deal for
its fairness to minorities but is not
too enthusiastic about the New
Deals southern bloc.
PEGLER: The Communists ,
constantly put forward the most
exasperating individuals to be
found in either group (Negroes and
Jews) 80.
PV: Exasperating? The Com
munists party has put forward"
such cOlOred men as Angelo Hern-
don, who was prosecuted in Geor-
gia courts for being a Communist;
James Ford, a believer in demo-
cratic rights; Ben Davis, who
fought jimcrO in Atlanta courts.
where a Negro attorney should dare
no more than to handle a police
case.
PEGLER: There is no element
comparable to the Negro press in
the promotion of race conscious
ness. -.
PV: A damned lie. IF there were
no Negro press, cOlOred people
would never be permitted to for
get their racial identity, as long
as the World-TeIegram INDUCES in
"crime waves" in Harlem when
none exists, when every hour Of
the day every cOlOred person in
America is made to remember that
he is cOlored, by being treated as
half-citizen by whites.
PEGLER. they (the Negro
press) constantly remind the Ne.
gro that he is a Negro, while call
ing on the white press to forgo all
such distinctions.
PV: Again untrue. The white
press has been asked to stop label.

Opportunity Is Here
D. ]. Allen Suys


Editor: In my opinion there is
not a set program to follow in Sc
curing jobs now or after the war,
the want ad columns and various
other employment agencies offer the
solution.
Much is being said about future
economic status of our group. The
golden opportunity is here, each
day new fields are being opened for
Negroes in the way of better jobs
and promotions, now is the time to
firmly entrench ourselves in these
new fields and hold on. True
enough some of these new jobs can
be termed as duration jobs, but it
is up to the individual to prove his
worth in convincing way by max
ing him or her self indispensable
to the employer. Ability, depend
ability and conduct are the major
factors that will be necessary to
hold out in the future.
We must concede the fact that
our only commodity on the eco
nomic market is our labor, and we
must place high valuation on this
commodity, if we expect to remain
on the wanted list.
Our employers not only check us
for efficiency, much depends on
our conduct and relations with
other employees, in some instances,
resentment among employees in
these newly required jobs has
reared its ugly head, and your re-
action will determine whether we
are suitable employees, who can
work side by side with others in
harmony.
Friendly courtesy, good will, and
the proper attitude will go a long
way in making your job secure.
Our future employment depends
on how we are able to adjust our
selves to conditions on these new
jobs.
Opportunity is here, let us not
fail to recognize it. Let us dig in
and firmly hold these new jobs.
What we do on the job now, no
doubt, will have direct bearing on
what the future will hold for our
sons and daughters after the war.

Gods Country

I've always held faith divine,
America, if any land, belongs to God,
And what is Gods is surely mine,
From sun or star to lowly clod.
When men proclaim this country theirs,
By right of personal creed or race,
They heap more woes upon my cares,
And write deep burrows in Gods face
I've always held faith supreme,
America will never grow so latent,
Her sons shall copyright the dream
Of liberty when Heaven holds the patent.
hold this Nations fruits belong
To all upon no crooked bough but straight
According to the toll, the art and song
That each invests to make his country great.
I've always held faith divine,
America is Gods proving ground for right,
And what is Gods is surely mine,
Without my having to be white!

Selected Stocks Up
Slightly, but Many
Lack Support
BY VICTOR EUBANK.

NEW YORK, July 10.-Invasion
Of Sicily gave selected peace stocks
moderate lift in today's market,
but many leaders in other groups
failed to extend the recovery of the
previous session.
The feeling in the financial sector
was that the latest Allied thrust,
while cheering, had been more or
less expected. The result, market
wise, was that commitments were
lightened here and there, specially
In the war shares, pending outcome
of likely further United Nations
blasts in the Mediterranean and
elsewhere. Chances of shortening

support for issues that stand to ben

since November 4. 1899. The thought
here was that, while investment de-
mand still was strong and idle funds
growing more plentiful, technical
conditions might cause a sizable re-
lapse in the event of bearish inter-
national developments.
The list was slightly mixed at the
start. Rails took rest and air.
