Correction Of the conditions which
prevailed before the war;, and increas
ed vigilance and industry to prevent
a further accumulation Of the ills
which afflict the innocent offspring
for whom we are responsible-Indeed
guilty of neglect and exploitation of
their bodies, minds and souls.
But the past is now a record; the
present is laden with challenge to re-
trieve some Of the losses; the future
bids and warns us to do now those
things which we should have done
in the past, and to prepare our child
ren in the midst of war for the dut-
les and opportunities Of peace.
What a we do? So muchl First
there should be the realization that
children Just don't grow up like
weeds and animals"-not unless you
expect the harvest to be tares and
tears. Even flowers must be cult
waited and domestic pets trained for
the sa~tisfactions which abide in their
respective beauty or devotion. How
much more, then, should mankind be
mindful of those made in his own
image, with promise of noble contri-
buttons to the society of which they
must become an integral part.
The National Negro Health Week
is of the many avenues through
which an effectual approach might be
made to solution of prevailing prob
lens and the projection of helpful
programs. Cognizant of the need for
more conscious provisions for the
welfare of our chilli this years
Health Week chooses the health OF
these children as a major objective.
The Health Week enales a commun-
ity to orient its needs and facilities
for child care and proection. The
year-round extension of the Health
Week findings and plans makes pos
sible collaboration for the maximum
utilization of available aids and the
acquisition and establishment of those
means for child welarfe which are
lacking.
The Child of Today-Citizen OF
Tomorrow This is the challenge.
Unworthy as we may have been in
the past, let's be worthy of the fut-
ure which will determine the measure
and merit our Victory in the present
conflict, according to the success we
attain not only in saving the world
for democracy but also in making de-
mocracy, as intended, a source Of in
spiration for all and the insurance of
universal welfare.
The child receives its first nurture
and training in the home. The immed-
late neighborhood of the child is the
environment which influences both
the reaction Of the child to cleanli-
rcss, order, and beauty in the COM
mun;ty, and the physical and social
welfare of the child. Therefore, the
home and the neighborhood have a
joint responsibility to protect and in
spire the children in the early years
of their lives.

Mr.. Kennedy was born on a farm in

THE NEGRO VOTE

Atrom IosUa Press Clipping Bureau,
Desmoines, Ia, Telegraph Herald
Dubuque, Iozca, March Z, I94D
A poll conducted among Iowa Ne
groes by the Iowa Observer, publish
ed in Des MONIES, showed that Wen
dell Willkie was more popular than
President Roosevelt. The ratio was
81 to 43. Other Republicans, howev-
er, did not show up SO well. Dewey,
for example, trailed Roosevelt in the
ratio of 81 to 40.
A shift of the Negro vote away
from the New Deal was noted con
spicuously in a recent New York Con-
g%ressional election. The Democratic
candidate won by a margin Of 1871
votes out of more than 2 1000 cast in
a predominantly Democratic neigh
borhood, but the Democrats fell be-
hind in the Harlem sections of the
Congressional district.
Democrats in Harlem told the N.
Rork Times that there is a definite
trend away from the New Deal am
ong Negroes. They added that they
had warned President Roosevelt
political advisers at a conference in
Washington last week to take action
to try to halt this shift. At the con-
ference, it was said, the trend was
shown to be of national scope, Negro
Democrats have asserted that it was
responsible for the election of a Re
publican Governor in Kentucky last
Fall, for the election of a Republican
Representative in a special Philadel-
phia ~by-election.
Four years ago, the same Harlem
, districts gave the Democratic candi-
date a vote of seven and eight to one.
Negro leaders blame this political
change on a number of factors, one
of which is resentment against mis-
treatment of Negroes in the armed
services. Another cause of d~issatis-
isfaction is said to be discrimination
against the race in employment.
But there is still another reason tina
may be as important as any, and that
is the Negroes growing independence

Stimson said the enemy has been

the Schouten islands nearby. But
