What | Would Like
To See This Year
by WIIlF'RED H. KERR

| Co-Chairman of the Natl Citi-
2ens' Committee for Winfred
Lynn
Exclusive to Calvin's News
Service
In 1914 ! would like to see the
Negro soldier become an Ameri-
can soldier. 1t is not generally
recognized that in the United
States, there are two armies, the
United States Army and the Unit
ed States Army, Colored. This
second army has existed since the
CiVi! War and in the opinion OF
the commanding authorities it is
necessary to the defense of the
country.
This military opinion is shared
by the Administration As Com
manderin-Chief of our armed
forces, President Roosevelt has
the power to abolish segregation
in the armed forces. On October
3, 1910, two weeks after A. Phil
ip Randolph. Walter White and
| r. Arnold Hill had called on him
to discuss the question, Mr..
Roosevelt issued a carefully word
ed release in which 1t was stat
ed thar This policy (military
segregation has proven salts
factory over "a long period of
years and 49,. It is the opinion of
the War Department that no eX-
periments should be tried with
, he organizations lset-up Of these
units at this critical time" In
view Of this record, i, seems to
me to be foolish TO rely exclusive
| ly upon "petltioning the Presi-
dent as means of abolishing
segregation in the armed forces
| One other concrete and worth
while thing must he done.
We must help Winfred Lynn in
his court fight to make real the
democratic principles of the 1910
Draft Act. Section 304a of this
Act states that In the selection
and training Of men under this
Act, and in the Interpretation
and execution OF the provisions Of
this Act, there shall be no dis
elimination OF race or color. "
Lynn has brought writ OF ha-
beas corpus against the authori-
ties for illegally inducing him
into the Army on a Jimcro quota.
An appeal from the dismissal of

OF to ask for tolerance but to deserve respect.

not to ask for tolerance but to deserve respect
That may like putting the cart before the horse
- but it isn't really, The best way to get rights for any
minority group is to prove that there members of that
group fully ready to accept and perform the responsibilities
that always accompany rights You can't inside other
peoples minds to change their preudces but you show
conscientious work and by your spirit of cooperation
how unfounded and how unfair their preudces are
Most people want to be fair. They just started out
with the wrong picture in mind The thing to do is not
ask for tolerance or charity but to give them new
picture Some will be too blind to = but there will
respect for himself is lifting his brother into the light where
