He asserted that the Negro must
build a non partisan political bloc
to deal with the forces that res
pect only power.
"The National Associations Of
Manufacturers and the farmers
have built such blocs," he said.
Labor is building one now. There
is no hope for the Negro except he

Gen. Phillip B. Fleming. the admir-
istrator Of the governments feder-
al works program, before the Sales
Executives club here Tuesday,
know, said Mr.. Spaulding, that
he predicted there would be Is, )0b-
600 persons out of work in the Un:-
ted States after the war. He felt
that industries such as shipbuiId-
ing aircraft production and macn-
inc building alone would discharge
some 5000, 900 people.
HE felt that those industries
which are now manufacturing wa
products but which would turn to
replenishing peace time needs,
might take on a million workers,
but transportation would lose 1900
600. Perhaps, 5000 900 Gen. Elem
ing said, would retire from the lab
or market. These would include
women who would return again to
the home, but there would not he
nearly enough persons to absorb
the returning soldiers whom he g.
timated as being II, 000, 900, $500
600 of whom will be discharged as
soon as the war is over and $780,
900 more who will be kept on police
duty for awhile.
Gen. Fleming, we remember,
was formerly in charge Of WPA,
the organization which had such
long relief rolls all over the nation.
No n should be better able to
guage the impact and result on
employment of our returning sold
iers. The lessons of the recent de-
preston ought to be fresh in cur
minds and furnish an incentive for
US to try tt solidify our positions in
industry today, to create a reputa-
ton for efficiency as individuals 80
