raising several white children,

be interesting to know what
Nanny thought about having
to neglect her own little ones
while she laviShed love on

much she sighed over the

"As a cook or as a nurse"
writes Father Murphy in his
keen analysis of Nanny, "She

her white competitors in the
same avocations; and she
knows it. She is asking for
less parlay and more pay. She
is tired of being a mellow leg

as a modern reality. Her en-

gone with the wind, and her

Smart Little Lady

Father Murphy has an am
azing understanding of his sub
ject. He writes that NANNY"
has never been as dumb as she
has been pictured.
Neither she nor any of her
children-whon she has some
how managed to get educated
is at all beguiled by prettlly
pious or piously pretty obser-
vations to the effect that col
ored people must have gotten
their smiles from heaven, or
learned their patience from
Mary and their humility from
Joseph. Canny in many ways,
she knows such appraisers,
however benignly and limo
Gently, are lending themselves
to a program of keeping her
and hers in their place and
that place which most whites
have in mind for the colored
race is not by their Side-but
under their feet"
Remember, all this is the
observation OF a white man
and is featured in a famous
Catholic magazine dedicated to
colored missions but over
whelmingly subscribed to by

Would Keep System

The looming danger Of this
latest Anglo-American report
ed deal in colored labor is the
fact that certain hard-heads
on both sides have not Surren-
dered their aryan-attitudes
for the post war world. Certain
EngliShmen still see the ASiat-
les and other subject peoples
as bowling and scraping SER
wants. In this country we have
the unreconStructed south.
Father Murphy, in his afore-
mentioned article writes, "The
eyes of such Southerners as
still regard the Civil War as an
uncivil experiment and have
not yet caught up with Pearl
Harbor, grow misty with mem
cries" Of days when colored
people were southern servants.
1t would be perfectly natural
for the South to play ball with
the British Empire on this SER
want question but it is a very
dangerous game for our DEM
ocracy to participate in if we
intend to follow our post war
proclamations. Regardless IS
to the sincerity Of those lead
ers who may work in such a
program or the temporary
monetary advantages involved
the utimlate goal of the en-
tire servant-system is to keep
the colored race Gin its place. ("
Nevertheless it may turn out
that our intelligent West In
dian friends are fully capable
of impreSsing all concerned
that they do not intend to
uphold the southern system. I"
Those DAYS, we hope, are fast
disappearing forever.

Why DOmestles Only?

1t now seems almost I'M
belevable that Mrs Carney,
widow OF the late militant West
Indian leader is mentioned as
endorsing a move to ship $4,000
West Indian women into the
domestic dogma from which so
many Of "mammies'' seek to
emerge. This alleged plan to
make household servants out
OF another esteemed segment
of the colored race certainly
can not have the endorsement
of thousands of West Indian
males who swallowed a bitter
pill only last season working
here under very unfavorable
conditions. Why do $4,000 West
indian women have to be
specifically earmarked as do
mestics? VIII can't they also
be stenographerS, clerks, train
ed high skilled defense work
erS, the same as other import
ed workers can? And, is there
any reason the Servant
system" need be retained in a
Democracy? Why can't white
mothers stay at home and
raise their own? Ours do pretty
well in spite Of heavier bur-
dens. Must British royalty
'Iend- lease" colored women OF
Islands in order to uphold
southern aristocracy in this
country? Must the NANNY"
tradition be upheld at the ex-
pense OF proud Island people
who never before bowed to the
yoke? What must the spirits OF
TousSaint L'Overture, Henry
Christophe, and Antonio Maceo
be thinking? It is well to pom
der these questions today.

called upon to make the pres
entation Immediately after the
official ceremonies. In making
the presentation he said: eft
was in another great war for
human freedom that the first
colored regiment was commits
stoned in this same city and
the record of its glorious
achievements has been fitting
ly memoralized by the monu-
ment on Boston Common which
faces our State House. Today
the first naval ship manned by
an all-colored crew is being
commissioned and as this
marks a new departure in ma
val policy with regard to the
enlistment Of colored person
mel, it is a further evidence of
the ability Of our democratic
government to respond to pub
lie pressure and to extend to
all Of it's citizens an increasing
share in the responsibilities OF
citizenship"
AS far as is known this was
the first time a group of col
ored citizens ever made such a
presentation. A total of $441.35
was raised to purchase the in
struments. The money came
from many organizations and
hundreds of individuals as an
expression Of their enthusiastic
approval of the Nays new
policy with regard to enlisting
colored personnel.
Lieut. Commander VIM M
Blackford on behalf Of the
crew congratulated the orga1i-
cation on making such a fine
gesture and said that it would
be a great source of encour-
agement to officers and crew

Nanny" No More

The very mention of a need
to import servant class labor
into this country to replace q
dwindling supply of native
colored domestic provides
many and various juicy sub
jectS for discussion. Moreover it
allows this writer to quote
from "Our Colored Missions" a
splendid Catholic monthly of
June 1943 presented by a
friend. In this magazine, re-
produced from the "Colored
Harvest" is a straightforward
and daring article by Rev Ed
ward F. Murphy, ssh who tells
the truth about the domestic
slave nanny.
NANNY has not made her
self scarce; Scarcity has I'M
made Nanny" writes Father
Murphy. "The times are a key
to her release; If not from the
white kitchen and nursery, at
least to a status Of finer, hence
more American acknowledge
ment in them. She has ceased
being merely a chicken-frier 7"
a crooner without q future and
has discovered herself as a
creature of rights and duties.
:. Nanny, in an open door
way, is shifting fresh air. That
is why she is no longer merely
Nanny -"
