Cd the kind of postwar world
they favor building and the extent
of international cooperation they
are willing for America to give,
and CO the Negro question.
Actually, despite all efforts OF
racial isolationists to picture it as
a purely local issue, the Negro
question is indeed part and par
eel of the larger international and
postwar problem. They are as
inseparable as night from day.
MUST PAY PRICE
Desperately in need of votes,
the grand old party coherentS
must decide whether or not they
are willing to pay the price de-
manded to win that great mass
of progressively thinking voters
who make up the balance of pow
err, into the Republican column.
Frankly, recent actions of
the party followers, do not
indicate that they are. They
have failed thus far to grasp
the urgent need for Americas
unlimited cooperation with the
rest Of the world, If genuine
peace and world order instead
of short-lived armed truce
is to prevail after the war.
No more striking example OF
this could be cited than the hos
tility old line part adherents held
toward Wendell Willke, whose

NOT INTERESTED?
Certainly, these congressman sdld

the friendship and influencing the
voting of Negro constituents, who
helped send them to Washington.
1t is no secret that thest.
voters, too, are lost to thet
Republicans unless in shaping.

they come out with fortnight

guarantees of equality to all.
The Republicans need votes.
High-sounding but meaningless
platitudes,, -whiteism and I'M
holy alliances with dyed-in-the-
wool racial reactionaries is GER
tainly no way to get them from
the thousands of black voters in
the pivotal states. If they want to
win these votes they had better
move fast at their convention to
get the party from the control Of
its present behind the-scenes free

to the common people.
Not to do so. will mean that the
Republicans will have missed the

proffered candidacy was SO de-
cisively rejected. And those who
welded the power behind the
throne to remove Mr.. Willkie, are
still exercising their power behind
the throne to replace him with a
man who is committed TO promises,
has made no pledges, has outlined
no program of action.
MCCORMICK STILL IN
The fact that Wendell Willkie,
who typified the kind Of world
thinking that would spell genuine
peace was virtually ruled out OF
the party, while Col. Robert H..
Mccormick, whose notorious 1so-
lationist views have bordered on
treason, is allowed to remain, does
not argue so well for the peace
America would foist upon the world
under a Republican regime.
Clearly the Republicans at
Chicago, if they are to be saw
ed on this first of the two ma
Tor issues, must have COM
pIete and unexpected change
of heart, if they are to gather
into their fold the voters who
admired and shared the views
of Mr.. Willkie.
Next in Importance to this mass
group of progressive thinking Anne
ricans is the rapidly expanded Ne
gro vote, which now holds the
balance of power in eight pivotal
states. Those states, alone, con-
troll sufficient electoral votes to
decide the winner.
NO BID MADE
Here again, the party has COM
pletely failed to grasp golden OPP
portunity to make itself the Sc
lection of these voters And all
indications show there has been
no real effort to make a bid for
this Importantly decisive group OF
voters.
These voters have not for
gotten how Republican CON-
gressmen forming an unhOiy
alliance with Dixie reaction
aries, made a working team
to defeat just about every
measure which might have
benefited the common people
and inadvertently the majority
of the Negro population.
Remembered Is how these Re-
publicans ganged up on the school
aid bill, on the soldjer-vote bill.

He is Chaplain (Captain) James
L. Jones, of 27l1 Thomas Avenue
Dallas, Texas, graduate of Wiley
College at Marshall, Texas (B
A., 1889 and Drew Theological
Seminary, Madison, New Jersey.
The Silver Star was approved for
presentation to the heroic chap
pain on April Is, 1914.
GETS PURPLE HEART
Chaplain Jones, 80, recently re-
turned to the United States aboard
the Army Transportation Corps
hospital ship Thistle after nerve
wracking months Of living on the
"Bull'S-eye" as the Fifth Army
affectionately called their isolated
beachhead. He also was awarded
the Purple Heart on March 8, 1874.
"Crouching forward along the
edge of plateau, I was approach
ing two of my wounded men when
a Screaming Mimi'-a favorite ar
tillery shell of the Germans
struck close by explained Chap
lain Jones. "The burst threw me
over the plateau's edge, and I
stopped rolling about thirty yards
down in the bottom of the draw.
Il was carried back to a hospital
under range of enemy guns and
told that I'd be resting a long
time" he said
FIRST UNDER FIRE
A Methodist minister who enter
ed the service on November 10,
1912, Chaplain Jones PERSISTED in
remaining with his men in the
most dangerous areas, for he felt
that he could be of greater COM
fort and consolation to them there.
His organization, combat quar-
termaster unit, was one of the first
under German fire on the Bulls
eye." He served at Camp Rucker,
Alabama, and Camp Atterbury, In
diana, before going overseas.
Askede how he received the
news of the major Allied Forces
contact with the men at Anzio.
Chaplain Jones smiled and said:
ITO me, the joining of those fore
es meant that my boys were re-
lieved of that terrific and constant
pounding of shells and bombs. 1t
made me extremely happy"
In the words of the citation,
"the inspiration afforded by his
unselfiSh devotion and personal
sacrifice is in keeping with the
highest traditions of military SER
vice of the United States"
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1944-07-01

The morning they quit camp
was like a holiday. Everybody
was happy, a kind of happiness
difficult to describe. Those stay
ing behind helped these going
away to pack.
The boys were issued new
clothes. When they came out
they didr't resemble the sweaty
dirty bunch that ran down the
Beach and attacked enemy POSI-
tions. Back there they had grown
boards and didn't take baths Of
ten. Now they were splc and
span, shoes shined, hair cut, and
