meager backing with small time

conditions that the wealthy-baek-
ed White Press never has to en-
counter
What on earth are the journal
istic standards desired in order
that the Negro Press, thereby
conformed to, might gain recogni-
ton from the interested" Mr..
Pegler?
1t cannot be answered for
surety, but l have a good idea
and will believe thusly until
proven otherwise-Pegler is not
too concerned with the idea of
the Negro Press carrying adver-
tisements of love drops, load
stones and lucky charms. What
he is concerned with however, is
that the same freedom which he
has and enjoys as a writer, the
Negro Press and its constituents
have and enjoy too. That the
Negro Press can, with the edges
knocked off of course, say what
II believes, feels and above all
knows relative to the conditions
existing behind the scenes as well
as In tn open concerning the
Negro people.
Doubtless of chief concern TO
him is the editorial policy the
Negro Press has in general:
papers like the Courier, Defender,
Call, Afri, ETC.. writer's like Har-
per, Franklin, Cayton, etc. .
Hundreds of them who are sin
cerely vociferous in making the
'saying-worn" life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness" actual,
n a v n g denounced vigorously,
southern attitudes of many white
journalists and journals, persist
ing in playing the Negro angle
of a story. Unless the story be
favorable and creditable to the
general welfare of the Race.
Moreover, he is concerned with
the fact that truth will out about
conditions in various walks of
life affecting the social, economic
and educational status of the
Negro. All in all, he is concern
ed basically because his trend of
thought is motivated by willfull-
ness, the germ of keeping the
Negro in his proyerbial place,

which ''place" the Negro Press is
elevating toward equality of OPP
portunity by means of untiring
effort. He fights the lost cause
like a wolf in sleeps clothing
feigning constructive criticism.
For me to eliminate this
article without saying that the
editor of the criterion" Tribune,
might do well to stimulate the
possibilities of Negro Press de-
velopment after a more tactiful
and beneficial manner.
Although, the Negro Press for
give, the editor in question, his
"polly-woggin,' willy-nillying, the
Race will always remember that
because he did not personally see
eye to eye with the only resonant
voice proclaiming and declaring
the hopes and fears of 100000
people, he crossed the street of
self-opinionated design to walk
hand in hand with Pegler.
To continue critical of the fool
hardy gesture would be like tell
ing a moron he was smart-he
might believe it. But let it be

the Negro Press be offensive to
certain individuals let them Ak
least try cutting it off. Then GER
tainly they would find the Negro
Press is right and good, subject
to the same natural errors OF all
things human. Then the editor
of the Tribune could see just how
long he could forestall the exist
ence of his publication and jour-
nalistic career without the back
ing afforded him from the Negro
Press.
Even PegIer too, would doubt
less be devoid of meaning to
large American reading public;
he would have nothing to write
about, since he has apparently
found nothing else to date quite
so profitable to his popularity, or
notoriety, if you please, as his
continued attack upon the Negro
Press, which gives me cause to
believe that he is not attacking
the Negro Press as much as he is
attacking the Negro Race.

Mr., George Streator does not re-

a proposed segregated recreation

charged those who opposed this
project as being obstructionists.
Negro workers In this area
will remember George Streator
as a staunch supporter of the
reactionary practices and pro-
grams of Tom Ray and host
of other anti-Negro personalities
residing in Portland. During the
earlier period of the Negro ship
yard workers struggle for union
acceptance and job equality,
Streator appeared on the scene
encouraging Negroes to accept
an auxiliary status in the Boiler
makers union. His activities on
the whole have been inimical to
the best interests of Negroes
here and may be interpreted as
opposed to the principles of
democratic living for which Ne
gro men in the armed services
are fighting and dying every

Holding Your War Bonds

Holding on to your war bonds
now may mean the difference
between soup lines and comfort

the war, says S. ]. Phillips, spe-
cial representative for Royal
Crown Cola, whose services have
been Donated to the Treasury
Department by the Nehi corpor-
alton.
Mr.. Phillips makes this OBJ
servation on the basis of a study
he made among 10000 Negroes
during his period of service as
Subject Matter specialist for ;he
Government in the Agricultural
Extension Service in TIE state of
Arkansas. A survey made at that
time showed that the one factor
that contributed most to human
suffering during the depression
was unwise spending during the
years of plenty preceding the de.
preston.
Mr.. Phillips has devoted a
great deal of his time to APP
pearing before fraternal organ
izations, church groups, etc.,
urging them to buy more war
bonds and to hold them until
peace and prosperity are assured.
Plans are being made for the 9th
war loan drive. Mr.. Phillips
says, "that because of the pres
ent outlook of the war and the
approaching holidays, Individuals
should take a long look at the

tons influence then in their

stated that he did not believe
that any of them were sincerely

did he express the view that

misconduct and lack of proper

Something must be done to

Is believed that community

Some of the churches have

In this effort, lodges, clubs
