News Out of India

Foreign news dispatches tell us that the Madras Government in India has suspended the Prohibit tion Act. It was enacted in ]939, and it prohibited the sale and con sumption of intoxicating liquors in four important provinces.
 No, we didn't gloat with glee be cause we have job with a distili- cry, but we dug-in to find out why the Madras Government suspended the Act, and got the answer. Pro hibition in Madras created steady increase in illegal distillation, ac- companied by many of the we'll i known offenses. Penalties did not curb violations. The Government also discovered that badly needed war funds went elsewhere instead of into it's coffers. So, on January |, 1944, legal liquor shops were re- opened in the four districts where, since 1889, Prohibition did not prohibit.
 We believe that the average man and woman really views the subject as not being question of wet and dry, but rather as a question of legal and illegal liquor. And, surely, if one is not entirely satisfied with the experience in the United States, one can gather lot of corrobora- tive evidence from other countries, namely, Russia, Sweden, Norway and Finland. And then add the Canadian Provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan. All these have experimented with Pro- hibition and all of them have found the experiment "ignoble.'
 Color, race, creed, and geography don't seem to make much differ ence. We ought to learn something from that and profit from our learn ing. Some sage once said, There are three kinds of men, the wise, the paI't-wise and the unwise. The unwise man never learns anything; the part wise man learns from his own experiences; the wise man learns from the experiences of others"

ARMY. AIR CORPS

During the past several months many more men of the Army Air Corps have visited our club than previously. It's been a very enjoy able personal experience to get to know this fine group of men. And it's been good to feel that the USO has contributed at least something to their richly-deserved and hard earned furloughs.
 Some of these fellows have been here before, but the big majority have been enjoying their first fur loughs in many months. Though a few have come in from the north, almost all are stationed in the far-Aleutians.
 By now it's hardly news that flying conditions out there are ex- tremely hazardous. Our friends never seem to complain-but they realize they are lucky to be alive after months of operations from those og-enshrouded islands. One group of recent visitors to the club have completed more than 20 mis- sions over enemy territory. Need less to say, they've had their share of close callsl
 Some o1 the men have seen ac- tion in other battle areas, too. We've felt especially privileged lately to play host, for example, to one lad who wears the Air Corps Medal and who has experi- enced more than 400 hours of combat flying over England, Africa, Italy and France, and against the Japanese.
 Each time we say goodby we have our fingers crossed. It doesn't always work. One Saturday even- ing last summer we met very friendly sergeant, urged him to at tend the USO dance that night. He accepted, seemed to have fine time, was well liked by all who met him. The following Monday he was back in action. By the end of the week he was brought down at sea by enemy fire. Before rescuers Icould reach the floating plane, he and his mates had frozen to death.
 Some fellows are almost unbe- lievably fortunate. One night in April we sat at the club with two Air Corps men, drinking coffee and talking until early morning. Good by and good luck!p of course, was our farewell to them. Just this week we've learned from one of this pair that the other had the BEST of good luck-and had needed it, too Recall we were reminded, "hcw comfortable you and sSmitty and I were sitting over there on that big divan that night?" We remembered Well, not long after ward Smitty was up at about Ill., 900 feet when one of the engines exploded. He was blown out right through the side of the plane. He fell a long way. Somehow he man. Eaged to get his chute open--and !. as a matter of fact he really wasn't much the worse for the ex-

THE ELECTION

Despite the failure of all of the most promising
Negro candidates and the loss of the Senate seat
in the third district the primary election returns
did give us some measure of qualification. The re-
pudiation of Prosecutor Bowling by the ctizenry,
white and black, indicates quite clearly that De-
troiters are in new mood and are sick and tired
of race-baters in politics. The attempt to make
Mr.. Bowling a martyr to the cause of good govern
ment and victim Of organized, vicious mnori-
ties" is, of course unadulterated nonsense Mr.. Dow
ling has been his own worst enemy and we believe
the vote in the primary reflected the majority opn
ion of the general citzenry
The election returns, however, should give us
for real concern in another important particu-
Iar. 1t Is obvious That great part of our political
strength is being dissipated by the lack of unity
among the political personalities in the community.
The loss Of the Senate seat which held by Sena
tor Diggs be attributed in part to our failure
to unite forces and reach some sensible agree
ment by which success could be assured While we
do not believe that voting solely racial lines is
desirable, we do know that Negro representation in
government is necessary because of the peculiar
position of our group in the society.
The ambitions of little men must not be per-
mited to destroy what few opportunities for power
and influence are open to US. Petty ealousies and
The Michigan chronicle. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1936-current, 1944-07-22

useless rvalres serve only those who want to keep
Negroes divided in order to rule them Our poiti-
cal leadership particularly among the Democrats,
has been hopelessly mudded by personality differ
ences which resulted in the loss of the Third Sena-
toria seat last Tuesday. This seat might have been
saved if the rival personalities had been willing to
reach some sort of agreement based on the best
interests Of the group and the practical chances
of victory.
In politics as in most other fields disunity among
our leaders weakens everyone and damages n e
cause of the entire group. We cannot overlook the
important fact that the ballot is instrument given
to us by our democracy with which we advance
the best interests of people and the ideals Of
the republic. Those who work in the political arena
should seek to organize our voting strength in such
way that our group welfare rather than the well
fare of any one individual is given priority Our
voting strength will count for nothing until poit
ca leaders learn to think first in terms of the gen.
eral welfare and last in terms of their ambitions
