moment that the unique injustices
suffered by the Negro today can be

much faith in the conscience of
America ever to believe that this
question of race relations is impos-

Il think the national government
should go back on it and itself as
sumo responsibility for leadership
in developing mutual respect and
cooperation between peoples of di-
verse races and religion. This duty
is owed to all America and not only
to its Negro citizens. Obviously, the
full citizenship of every American
suffers whenever American justice
is denied to any of our people.
THE custom of hiring Negro
workers last and of letting them
go first because of the color of
their skin and without regard to
their diligency or abilities is an
evil practice which strikes funda-
mentally at our goal of equal oppor-
tunity. This denial of justice and

ported to have been found in Heck

Formerly active in the AFL,
Johnson became a pioneer in the or
ganization of the CIO, starting with
the Steel Workers organizing COM
mittee in 1886. Later, he went into
the Chicago stockyards to push the
efforts of the CIO Packing House
Workers organizing committee and
became one of the foremost leaders
in in that union. A disciple of John
L. Lewis, Johnson tried to bring the
Packing House Workers into Lewis
union when Lewis withdrew from
the CIO, but failed.
Johnson became Lewis payroll
er and was active in the Catchall
District so, organizing campaigns in
a number of states. Shelton, a for
mer packing house union organizer
in the Swift plant in Sioux City, Ia,
went along with Johnson when he
pulled out of the CIO. Prior to their
recent differences, Johnson and
Shelton were friends. Shelton charg-

peatedly pledged it's performance.
Il consider this commitment most
important. 1t removes artificial
barriers to full employment, and
hence is imperitive. If we are to un-
dercut the prejudice, the bitter
ness, the discrimination and the
segregation to which our colored
American citizens have been SUBJ
jected we must have an America
in which there are jobs and oppor-
tunity for everyone, no matter
what his color, his creed or his ma
tional origin.
1--WE must make race prejudice
and religious prejudice unprofit-
able" Dewey added. "My admins
tration will have only one prejudice,
it will be prejudiced against intol-
erance.
"The platform on which l stand
has concerned itself not only with
an agency to abolish racial injustice
from employment but considers
other vital issues involved in race
relations. The platform of the Re-
publican party also condemns
without reservation the injection
into American life of racial and re-
ligious prejudice. Further, in full
recognition of the harsh conditions
from which many our Negroes in
the Armed forces suffer, this plat
form demands an immediate in
quiry to get at the facts of mis-
treatment, segregation and discrim-
ination practiced upon Negroes in
our armed forces, and the adop-
ton of corrective measures. The
platform further opposes the pay
ment of any poll tax as a condition
of voting in federal elections and
calls for it's abolition.
Finally, this party pronounce
ment declares in favor of early en-
actment of laws against lynching.
This is my party's stand on these
issues. 1t is my stand, and it is my
public pledge that these promises
will be fulfilled.
Il firmly believe that the accom-
plishment of these measures will
enable all Americans of every race,
creed and color and national origin
to go forward to a full life, with
equality and opportunity for every
one," he prophesied. 81 hope these
expressions make clear my stand

So if 1t is advocated that Germany be
divided into five states, is it meant that

Governments and Oil

Since oil is so vital to war max
ing. since no aggressor can get very
far without it. there is much to be
said for the limited partnership just
established between the United
States Government and three pri-
vate American companies with con-
cessions in Saudi Arabia and Ku-
wait. At least. there is much to be
said for it to the extent that it
sets aside a huge, long-term petro-
leum reserve for our armed forces
and provides that the companies
involved will make no sales to any
other country if, in the opinion of
the State Department, such sales
would run counter to our foreign
policy and initiate against collec-
tive security by helping the possible
Hitlers and Tojos of the future.
Once that Is said, however, there
is some reason to question whether
such an agreement putting the
Government into the foreign oil
business-will prove quite as sound
in operation as its objectives ap-
pear to be. At any rate. more than
q few experts on the subject are
inclined to look upon the arrange
ment as something likely not only
to have an unwelcome effect on pri-
vate enterprise, but also, to lead to

Slstant Secretary of the Navy, which
was an appolntive and not an elective
offlce. And there have been others.
To mention another conspicuous one
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New YORK.
Gov. Dewey is just about Mr. Lodges
age now. He was elected Governor in
1912, at the same time Senator Lodge
was reelected. Unlike Senator Lodge
or Gov. Stassen of Minnesota. who is
81 wears old, Mr.. Dewey did not resign
TO go into the armed service
Undoubtedly his reasons like those of
MI. Roosevelt, were adequate and there
Is no room for criticism Anyhow, GER
talnly, neither the voters of New York
nor OF the country have held it against
either of them. Mr.. Deweys success in
the 1912 election was repeated in l943
when his presidential prospects were
concededly bound up in the cause of the
Republican candidate for Lieutenant
Governor. whom he had personally
sponsored.
And certainly. in the case Of Mr..
Roosevelt, the fact that though only 35
years old and then in perfect physical
condition he held on to an ununiformed
and important Government job instead
OF seeking active military service not
only did not hurt him politically. but has
never even been thought of as a criti-
cism by his opponents. Quite obvious
ly, neither he nor Mr. Dewey has ever
felt his lack of military record liability.
All OF which goes to show that Senator
Lodge could have remained comfortably
in the Senate without adverse comment
or political risk
That he, recently reelected and with
five more years to serve. should have
taken the other course is the more to
his credit. 1t proves, for one thing, that.
lacking conceit, he does not consider
himself an indispensable man. 1t proves,
for another, that he has pretty high
personal standard of conduct-and lives
up to it

after that to receive congratulations
from his colleagues and friends BY the
time they got the news he had gone
Prior to his return to active Army
status, Senator Lodge had a commission
as major in the Reserve Corps, and in
1912 served abroad with an American
tank unit attached to the British 9th
Army in its Libyan campaign. Late in
1912 he returned to the United States
and was reelected Senator from Massa-
chusetts. There would have been no
room for criticism had Senator Lodge,
abiding by the Presidents recent ruling
that members of Congress may not also
serve in the Army, chosen TO stay in
the Senate. At least one member Of
the House, compelled to make that
choice between the Army and his seat,
elected to keep the seat
There is in fact, very high precedent
for Government officials who under
such circumstances and at service age,
chose to stay out of uniform rather than
60 in. For example, there is the case
of President Roosevelt himself. When
we entered the last war Mr.. Roosevelt

and Anzio is not great; therefore the
supply of the present beachhead is
more or less at the mercy of the
weather, and is further limited by the
available number of landing craft. In
order to have assured supply for a
large army, port where seagoing
ships can come alongside docks and
discharge cargo is indispensable.
Keeping this in mind. the statement
of a British military spokesman Is per-
haps not without significance. He
urges that We should keep this landing
operation in its true perspective-as
aiding the progress of the other Allied
armies in Italy. Note that he says
1.-The other armies That is the re-
mainder of the 5th Army on the Casino
front, and the 9Th Army on the Adri-
attic side Of the mountains.
The 9Th Army has been quiet for a
long time-among other things, 1t has
a new commander-and it has suffered
from atrocious weather. But it does
have behind it the excellent seaports
of Bari and Taranto, through which 1t
can receive reinforcements and supplies
in quantities limited only by the avail
ability of shipping to bring them there.
1t would seem entirely possible that the
9Th Army may play a considerable part
in the next phase of the italian CAM
paign. II 1t were to be reinforced
strongly and could advance to the
Rome-Pescara road, it would at once
threaten the whole of the German
armies on the west OF the Apennines.

whose early dispatches suggested that
precious opportunities were being
wasted because mobile columns were
not being sent dashing ahead into Rome
or at least to the railway functions
south OF the city, now says more soberly
that 1t is clear that any troops sent out
for such purpose would have been
lost. In the successful accomplishment
Of the landing. it was inevitable that
many of those taking part should have
been impatient with dig in and con-
solidate" policy; but perhaps it will pay
better in the end.
The Germans will, very certainly, try
again. They probably will do so as
soon as few more troops have filtered
down from the north through the pre-
carious routes at which our bombers
are still striking whenever weather per-
mits. But there seems to be reason for
confidence that the beachhead will hold
If SO, then shall we see it heavily REIN

and other facilities, is essential to sup

to come from the United States.
While the transportation problem no
longer Is as acute as it was early in
the war when the Nazi submarines
were sinking thousands of tons of ship
ping every month, the bulk of our oil
tankers and merchantmen still are
needed for the European theater. Mil
lions OF fighting men in England, Italy
and North Africa have to be supplied
from the United States. Moreover,
shipments of lease-lend goods to Russia
and other countries must continue In

have been available to carry supplies

Netherlands Indies with the same speed
as we are winning the Marshalls.
Hundreds Of thousands of Japs are
stationed in the large islands which
form the main barrier to Toxic. They
have important air and naval bases
which they can use successfully against
the Allies

Japanese will not be long delayed.
