the crisis for the crisis did not begin with the war, and
will not terminate when the war is over.
If history has provided any lessons for mankind,
they that create hates and fears. Thus,
the workers and oppressed mnores will be face to lace
with many difficult tasks at the close OF this con-
fct than they confronted at the beginning 1t most
unlikely that there will be more freedom in the world
when the Axis powers conquered than before this

the workers and oppressed mnortes to destroy Axis
tyranny, but when Axis tyranny overthrown the work
and the minorities will have another JOB to do 1t
will be to destroy the tyranny of monopoly capitalism and
Imperialism, represented by the United Nations.
To him who runs and reads it is clear that the
United Nations have intention of granting freedom
and democracy to the darker peoples of the world.

Seek Clemency For Soldier Given Il
Years In Arkansas Shooting

WASHINGTON, D. C. - The
Washington Bureau NAACP this
week filed a petition for clemency
with the War department on be-
alf Of John A. Foreman, for
merly a privat eattached to the
36tth Engineer Regiment, who
was sentenced to II years i'm
prisonment in the charge Of at
lcHpted murder of James Z.
Jordan, Constable of Cotton Plant,
Arkansas,
"A number of Negro soldiers at
tached to the 364th Engineer Regi-
ment stationed at Camp Joseph
T. Robinson, Arkansas, were
given leave for the night of May
90 1913. They went to Cotton
Plant a nearby town, to spend
the evening. AS they were stand
ing outside of restaurant in the
colored section about midnight,
the twon Constable peremptorily
ordered them to get going" An
unidentified soldier is alleged to
have said that they did not have
to leave, whereupon the angered
police officer, without attempt
ing TO place any of the men under
arrest, drew his pistol on the
nearest soldier and threatened to
shoot, Several soldiers, who were
never satisfactorily identified, at
tempted to prevent the officer
from carrying out his threat. AS
the officer struggled to prevent
being disarmed, he was wounded
by a shot from his own gun and
received other decorations, 1t was
uudisputed at the trial that Con.
stable Jordan was under the i'm

There WAS also evidence that on
the preceding night a soldier had
