It is the Senator's belief that
the legislation revising Juvenile

On the needs of Demobilized

that Michigan has already enact

Both Sides
Have It
By Elizabeth Meier
I'm Afro-American)

How many Americans can ex-
anime their hearts and truthfully
say that they themselves are not
prejudiced, especially against
white people? When you have
experienced discrimination for
so long, and seldom see any prog
ress made towards equal oppor-
tunities, it becomes extremely diff
ficult to believe that some white
people can really be trusted as true
friends.
But we can only reach a har-
monious way of living when col
ored as well as white Americans
rid themselves of prejudice. For
even as it is eating like a cancer
at white mans soul, so it is
destroying the colored mans soul.
1t may be much more difficult
to pluck out prejudice caused
by the deep wounds of longtime

discrimination than one based on
mistaken idea of Superiority"
But only when all prejudice has
been removed can we come to the
close understanding necessary for
the building of this better world
our boys are fighting for.

that prestige There is no reason why tneir
estimate of it's value should not be the yard
stick of it's value to u.s. Rome was for them
an argument that German troops were superior
to Allied troops
The German defeat below Rome, Mr. Harsch
points out, lowers the morale OF every Ger
man soldier anywhere in Europe 1T also
gives every Allied soldier that ounce OF extra
confidence which comes from knowing that a
crack German army has just taken thorough
drubbing on another 'front.'
But these are not the only advantages to
the Allies in Italy. With the fall of Rome they
will acquire airfelds which are the biggest and
best on the peninsula. Rome, being $50 miles
nearer Germany than Foggia, for example,
where Allied Air Forces are now based, these
new bases will enable Allied planes to pene-
trate $50 miles further into Germany. Rome
also is Italy's chief transportation and COM
muncations center. And, an advantage not to
be overlooked, Rome is also Italys political
center.
In surrounding these, when they move out
for Rome the Germans will have suffered a
loss, equal in effect upon the whole in
Europe with the loss of prestige" surrender OF
the city will involve.
