are Negro soldiers and that they
are doing an efficient job. There
are two Negro signal construction
battalions in Normandy who have
done excellent work in rehabilita-
ting German communication lines
and, in the process, captured a
number of German prisoners.
There is an all-NegrO army
postal unit in France with the in
vading U. S. Armies, recent dis
patches reveal, that is operating
near the front lines with skill and
efficiency. S/Sgt. Henry o. Pres
ton, Vicksburg, Miss, is second in
command of the outfit which
facilitates the flow of mail to
front line battlers.
Negro field bakeries and laundry
units are also in the thick of the
bombings to keep the men sup
piled with the staff of life and
with changes of clothing. These
units are mobile ones which fol-
low the troops wherever they go.
An idea of the viciousness of
Nazis in regard to race is con-
veyed by their desertion of the
graves of Hannibal, the Negro
ancestor of PuShkin, RuSsia'S
greatest poet. Destroying the
monument erected around it, the
"Supermen" used the memorable
spot as a Iatrine. The place, a
spot of reverence to the Russians,
was heavily BOBBY trapped by the
fleeing Germans; but the willy
Russian soldiers discovered the
mines with their detectOrs and
removed them with no loss of
life.

week of the promotion of form

HAPPENINGS AT HOME:-Cita-

their deeds of valOr in the wake
of the disastrous explosion which
occurred there in July. Stating
that "the Negro personnel at

Port Chicago, performed braveiy

of the 18th Naval District, singled
out 16 persons as having displayed
CONSPICUOUS bravery at rescue work

is time for the people to KNOW
about it.
The American Merchant Marine
is not great solely because it has a
lot of ships.
1t is not great solely because of
the great job it is doing in this war.
1t is great because there was a
great shipping industry behind it,
and great shipping men behind that
industry.
THE American steamship indus
L tries and their leaders went
through, and fortunately survived,
long years of national indifference
and neglect before they were able to
have great merchant marine.
Those were years of discourage
ment and despair.
But such was the American faith
of these industries that they never
lost hope that the United States
would ultimately take its rightful
place in the maritime affairs of the
world.
And such was their pride in their
vital meaning to America that they
met the challenge of great war, and
had the skills and the genius for
management and operation upon
which victory depended.
The American maritime indus
tries have contributed hugely to the
successful and victorious conduct of
the war.
They have richly earned public
recognition and appreciation.
Victory Fleet Day" is an appro.
pirate occasion for giving public rec
ignition and appreciation.
Let it be observed with en-.
thusiasm.
Perhaps, If it is enthusiastically
observed, the American people will
always remember that victory in this
great war was made possible by
great merchant marine, and will not
ever again permit tkeir maritime
establishments to fall into decay.

THE War Shipping Administration
L has designated today as Victory
Fleet Day." and has asked it's OBJ
servance by the nation in tribute to
the American steamship companies
charged with management and oper-
alton of our wartime merchant fleet.
The story of the management and
operation of the American Merchant
Marine in this war, as President
Frank j. Taylor of the American
Merchant Marine Institute COM
ments in message printed elsewhere
on this page, is a little known
story"
The necessities of wartime CEN
sorship account for this in part.
The vast maritime enterprise de-
veloped by the United States since
the outbreak of war, and that is
playing an indispensable part in the
winning of the war, does not lend
itself readily to publicity or public
appreciation.
The actual numbers of ships uti-
liZed for transport to war theaters
was military information.
THE cargoes carried, the destina-
L tons, the routes followed-all of
these were things to be kept from
the enemy.
Of course the American people
have been well-aware that a ship
building program of gigantic proper
tions was going on, and it is gener-
ally recognized that the American
maritime establishment is now the
greatest in our history and the
greatest in all the world.
But the American people have
had to speculate about the manage
ment and operation Of this establish
ment, if they thought about it at all.
And the people SHOULD think
a great deal about it.

How Long Is the
Long Run?
By DR.. RUTH ALEXANDER
Noted Economist and Lecturer

THE other day the editor of magazine to which
i we contribute wrote us-"DOnt write any more
articles about freedom. People aren't interested
in H."
We hope this editor was just suffering from
the heat Otherwise the United States might Just as
well shut up shop and 60 about totalitarian while
the casualty lists are still low.
Nor does 1t reduce apprehension to say, with
a shrug-"Oh, everything will come out all right
in the long rum" The question remains-how long
is the long run?
The long run may be too late if it is long
enough.
Most of the peoples of the tragic totaltarian
states of Europe gave up their freedoms tempo
rarily and on behalf of emergencies. But the
emergencies continued to pile up and the freedoms
stayed lost.
FINALLY, came wharf.-the beginning and the
end of emergency and the end of freedom for
all those who wage it, whether for noble or gnobe
ends. To be sure, freedom is supposed to stage
a comeback as never before in the long rum So
the peoples, everywhere were told.
But the peoples of the totatarian states put
their trust in the long run. And the long run let
them down.
How about us?
And what about history?
History proves beyond question that freedom
is never attained by suppression of freedom. Yet
to commit crimes against liberty in the sacred
name of liberty is the stock-in-trade of dema-
gogues. Their apologists plead that emergency
measures viii disappear when emergency dis
appears.
But suppose the emergency at hand disap-
pears only have another take its place?
After all, according to the dictionary, an emer.
gency is merely "a sudden development calling
for quick decision
A ND if one has the POWER one can surely rig
n up "a sudden development calling for quick
decision That would give the emergency makers
more power than ever because they would have
to make the quick decisions. Whether these quick
decisions should prove wise decisions in the long
run is doubtful.
1t is taking long chance to bank on the long
run to return our liberties to us.
We play with fire when we play with the
delegation Of POWER. And fire does not burn
in the long run Fire burns right away quick
Even if the burns heal in the long run the scars
may remain.
no WE want our liberties Scared from skillful
- manipulation during a questionable emer-
gency? Dare we leave them, unattended, to heal
in the long run?
Would trust deadly disease, such as
cancer to heal in the long run?
Yet the deadly cancer of totalitaranism
creeps slowly and by imperceptble degrees upon
us. And go blithely on our way mounting the
cliche that everything will turn out all right in
the long run

YOUR patriotic interest in the American Mer-
chant Marine evidenced repeatedly over the
years and more recently through Harry Schacht's
inspirational message on National Maritime Day,
and your subsequent excellent editorials, prompts
me to remind you of victory fleet day." Sept 81
This year the War Shipping Administration
had dedicated this day to honor American steam
ship companies who are managing and operating
our great wartime merchant fleet.
Progress Of the war and recent easing of GEN.
sorship now permits telling in greater detail this
little known story of ship management and opera
ton.
May we enjoy your cooperation in helping to
bring this story to the attention of the American
public through the Hearst papers?

B Mai B nth Prepares
Chart 10 Fif Veterans
Into Suitable Jobs

A graphic guide designed to show
how soldiers can fit their Army
training into civilian jobs was made
public today by the B'nai Birth Vo-
cational Service Bureau.
The chart takes up the 124 Jobs
most common in the Army and then
indicates how the soldier can use the
skills acquired in those jobs with
little or no training, with some addi-
tional training, or with extensive
training
Army officials have said the ques-
ton most frequently asked by men
leaving the service is how they can
put their Army skills to work for
them in civilian life. The chart,
prepared by the Jewish service or
ganization, in cooperation with the
War Department and the War Man
power Commission, is designed to
answer that question.
An aerial gunner, for instance, is
told that with little or restraining
he may find civilian work storing
packing or transporting fragile or
explosive products or inspecting, as
sembling or repairing fire arms.
Can Repair Mechanical Units.
With some additional training, the
aerial gunner can repair and main
tain such mechanical units as gas
meters, water meters, registers or
vending machines.
With extensive training, the aerial

gunner can repair and maintain
such complex mechanical inits as
tabulating equipment, electric writ
ing machines and industrial gas
equipment.
The ambulance driver can do test
driving: work in a hospital or op-
crate concrete mix truck with
some additional training or repair
automotive equipment or vulcanize
tires with extensive training.
The mess sergeant can manage a
catering business with no more
training. A tank crewman can OPP
crate powered construction equip
ment or with extensive training,
operate notor-dr cranes.
The radar operator may have a
future in radio and a scout, with no
more training, may guide hunting
and fishing parties, trap predatory
animals or mark timber.
Cooks Can Mix Paints.
The Army cook can choose a fu-
ture in a hotel, restaurant or, with
more training, mix, heat or treat
paints, chemicals. explosives, dyes,
liquors, tanning solutions, ice cream
lime, etc"
The chart points out to the vet
eran that Notwithstanding the re-
lationship Of his Army-acquired
skills to civilian Jobs, he may not
be able to get such work in the COM
munity where he plans to live, he
may not want such work or he may
want to 60 back to his old civilian
job.
Veterans also are urged to seek
advice from vocational counselor
to make the best use of previous
training and experience, special in
terests and hobbies in and out Of
the Army.
