CHICKENS COME HOME
TO ROOST

Many years ago Booker T..
Washington made the statement
in one of his speeches that, sit
is impossible to keep a man
down in a ditch without getting
down there with him." No truer
example of ones chickens COM
ing home to roost" can be found
than in the situation now con-
fronting the South. For years
Negroes were denied the public
health facilities of the states and
local communities, as a result the
rate of death and disease among
Negroes was much higher than
among whites. These same Ne
groes were called upon to fill the
role of domestic workers, nurses
to children, and cooks. 1t was
here that the shortsighted policy
of the Southern whites acted as
a boomerang in that their arbi-
trary denial to a class of people
of the necessary public health
clinics was in fact a denial to
themselves.
This situation also manifests
itself in the very populous states
where large numbers of Negroes
have been found physically unfit
for selective service and the To-
cal boards have had to call al
most one-third more white troops
up in order to fulfill their quotas.
Whenever any employer or his
agent refuses to consider a man
who is proven to be qualified for
particular position in his plant,
he is not only denying the Amer
lean people the commodity man
ufactured by him, but committing
direct act of sabotage against
the American Army by slowing
down the receipt of that article
by the men overseas, whether it
be an airplane, gun, tank, ammu-
nitionfi or a pair of shoes. When
ever a union refuses to admit Ne
groes on a par with white work.
ers, the output of that plant is
curtailed as effectively as though
the bombers of Goering had
flown over and put a portion of
that plant out of business.

time to insist on equal rights,

/ NAACP LEADS FIGHT
AGAINST J C AUXILIARIEs
There is absolutely no need
for a national service act in this
country as long as management
and certain unions continue to
gang up on the skills and sery-
ices of the Negro people. In
this particular fight the NAACP
has, through its legal department
filed suits in several sections of
this country against these dis
eliminating unions in which we
hope to get permanent injunc-
tions prohibiting this undemo-
cratic practice of segregation,
discrimination and exclusion. At
the present time a suit is being
conducted in Providence, r. l.,
against the International Broth
erhood of Boilermakers, who have
set up a Jim Crow Auxiliary for
Negroes. I took part in the first
part of this suit and heard VIM
]. Buckley. an International vice
president of the Boilermakers,
testify from the witness stand
under questioning by Thurgood
Marshall, that any other race of
people except the Negro could
join the subordinate lodges of
the Boilermakers Union. 1t is
our hope that in working togeth
er with the local branches of the
NAACP, we can establish legal
presidents that will forever stifle
this foolish practice of discrim-
ination on the job.
1t profits us nothing to protest
over the brutal treatment ae-
corded American prisoners of
war in Japanese prison camps
when American soldiers are re-
peatedly insulted, beaten and in
far too many instances killed by
civilian white people throughout
the Southern States. Just re-
Gently a bus driver shot and
killed a Negro soldier in Alexan-
dria, La, simply because he was
slow in moving into a Jim Crow
seat. Every time an act of this
kind happens, radio Tokyo and
Lord Haw Haw are provided with
an excellent propaganda script
against our Allies. Neither can
we profit by speaking about good
will with Latin America when
states like Texas, New Mexico,
and Arizona maintain separate
schools for Mexicans and refuse
them food in public places un-
less taken outside in a paper
bag American dollars cannot
buy the respect of these people
in the face of such indignities,
nor can all the good will tours
thought up by the government
stave off a definite dose of bad
will if we do not set the demo-
cratic pattern for the rest of the
world by disearding our double |
standards of civil rights, and I'M

SIMPLE JUSTICE
Let us make crystal clear from
the outset, we are not on the
defense, but definitely on the Of
Tense. Let us make it also clear
that we are not trying to use
the war selfishly to gain adYan-
tages for ourselves. Our enemies
and our fair-weather friends are
attempting to put us on the de-
fensive by such charges. To them
we reply that the Negro today
is seeking nothing he has not
been asking since and before the
Civil War-namely, simply JUS
tice. He continues to ask full
citizenship with all its RESPONSE
oiiIIles' do well as lIS privileges.
He asks these not alone for him
self, but for all disadvantaged
peoples of the earth. He wants
the white people of the earth to
have every right and opportunity
because the Negro knows from
long and bitter experience that
no man is free completely for a
very long while as long as any
other man is kept down because
he is Jew or Gentle, Protestant
or Catholic, white or black, la
boring man or employer, native
or foreign born.

Latest March Of Time
Underground Report"
Shows Berlin Today

This months issue of The March
of Time brings to the screen a
dramatic and exclusive story, Gun

how the people of Germany and
their conquered victims are living
while they await the final outcome
of the invasion. 1t m Sunday,
Monday, Tuesday, to the Royal
theatre here.
Compiled from Nazi films just
captured in Europe, as well as
film footage struggled out by the
Underground, this latest MOT gives
It vivid and revealing picture of the
new Nazi plan of suicidal resistance
inside Hitler's inner European for
tress. Seen too are the activities
of the Underground as they drill,
awaiting their chance to take part
in the march on Germany. Other
scenes show how the Nazis' propa-
ganda has poisoned Europe's youth.
Highlights of the film are new

ers . Goebbels, as he surveys
the ruins of Berlin, Goering confer
ring with his general staff, Hitler
plotting a last-ditch stand to a
stalemate that will leave Germany
with most of her loot intact.
There are scenes showing the
magnitude of Nazi preparations for
the invasion-big guns moving up,
immense Notifications being con-
structed along the coast, torpedo
tubes built to fire from the shore,
amor
Shown, too, are the efforts of the
Nazis to impress the conquered

with the virile beauty and vigor o.
the master race-the entertain
ments, the sports, the lure of high
pay in Germany for workers who
will help keep the German war ma
chine going.
A unique feature of the film are
the actual scenes of the Under
ground, drilling, sabotaging install
lations, building their hideaways in
the snow-covered mountains. There
are even scenes showing the French
Quislings, Laval and Petain, in con-
ference-the first time these two
have been shown together on the
screen.
The exclusive and remarkable
scenes which go to make up "Un-
