tired of paying all that money for
such setup and decided to DO
something else-sending the white
faculty of the. University of Mis-
souri, even to teach the Negroes
and tossing out the Negro instruc-
tors.
All this is to show that tight
Negro leadership united on one
program, one ideal and one de-
mand could do more to gain recog-
milton, freedom and advancement
for the race than all the diversifi-
ed bunch now operating and would
go far to dispel the thought that

to do is to wear a shirt with tie

Plain Talk
BY DAN GARDNER
Saws We Have Too Many Leaders
BY DAN GARDNER

Negro businessmen, and our educa-
tors who want more Negro colleges
and more Negro schools, contends
that the white man will smile on
it with more favor since he is more
likely to give Negroes a chance to
earn their bread and board than he
is to let them marry his daughters
as in the case Of the integrationa-
lists. or to create an economic and
political vacuum by allowing huge
numbers to depart from the country
as happened when the Jews fed
Pharaoh.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1944-06-24
MANY ARE CONFUSED

MAN AkE CONt USED
Faced with this situation, the
white man in power who is in
clined toward liberality in dealing
with the Negro question Is COM
pletely confused. If he, for ex-
ample, wants to help get Negro
housing units in a set-up where
only Negroes will live, he is accus-
ed of segregating Negroes. II he
mixes them up, he opens himself
for criticism that he is seeking to
destroy Negro unity and solidarity.
The Army separates Negroes into
all-colored units and arrangeS an
officer panel from corporal to bri-
gadier general. Tt catches hell be-
cause it forces segregation OF Tight
ing men on a base of color and
race, yet thousands of Negroes stick
out their chests in great pride over
what the Jim Grow 99th Pursuit
Squadron is doing at Casino. While
the Army is being assaulted for hav-
ing colored regiments and divisions
in the first place. Negro candidates
for officer berths are plentiful on
all sides.
In Washington the complexities
of Negro leadership are shown in
the maneuvering that goes on as
Negroes jockey for position as sad
visers on Negro affairs" Negro
experts, Negro consultantS," and
other groupings in which voluntary
segregation and acceptance of the
status quo is apparent.
There are those who hailed form
er Congressman Arthur Mitchell's
victory over that Southern railroad
as the most important triumph of
our time in that Mitchell had
fought for and won the right to
equal accommodations" on that
railroad.
TRICK IN EQUAL"
Yet, even in the word equal is
the trick by which the white man
avoids the demands and thwarts
the desires of that class of Negroes
who want indignation. All the white
man does is hitch another car ex-
actly like the one he uses onto the
train and open the door for the
Negro patrons. The accommodate
lions are Equal aren't they? he
reasons.
Down in Washington John P.
Davis is raising hell with city off,
Gals because his son can't attend
the school in the neighborhood
where he lives which happens to
be a white school A suit might
presumably force an issue in which
all Washington schools, elementary
high school and college, could be
opened for Negroes. In such 81
tuation it might be assumed that
hundreds of Negro school teachers
who are uncomfortable jobs in
WaShington's Jim Crow school syS-
tenn would be thrown out of jobs.
Yet, a demand of indignation would
have been served.
At Jefferson City, Missouri, where
Lucille Bluefield's demand to be adj
mitted into the University Of Mis-
souri, School of Journalism forced
the state into opening Jim Crow
school at Lincoln University where
only a handful of Negro pupils at
tended Journalism classes, the Ne
gro nationalist were probably serv-
ed well-if the project had gone
through. But the white people got

RAISE vExING PROBLEMS

The boys who want complete in
tegration are the ones who raise the
most vexing problems and cores
pondingly the ones who have the
most glamorous problem for the
more cultured and educated por-
tons Of the Negro population. The
militancy of Dubois, Trotter and
before them, Douglass, in demand
ing the complete absorption of the
Negro into the American stream
of life has had deep effect on the
Negro classes. The militancy of
Garvey, and before him Greener,
in advocating return of the Negro
TO Africa or to some homeland"
has instilled the seeds of hope for
"deliverance" some day into the
hearts of millions among the Ne
gro masses.
In between these two classes can
be SandWiched one that bases its
theory of solution of the problem
on playing both ends against the
middle by seeking economic" free
dom as outlined by Booker T.
Washington. This class, and there
are many, numbering notably our
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1944-06-24

ONE SIDE OF the Negro leader
ship problem that seems to have
been missed by those trying to
straighten out the matter is that we
have too many leaders repre-
senting too many shades of opl-
MON and schools of thought. The
soorar we narrow down our leader
ship to a half dozen or less, the
sooner the conflicting viewpoints
which retard our local and national
progress viii be eliminated.
Roughly Negro leadership can be
divided into two camps: the one,
which demands complete ir1tegra-
ton of the Negro into American
life, intar-marriage, social equality
and all; and the other, which de-
mands a militant racial conscious
ness based on what the experts call
nationalism along the lines follow
ed by the jewish An,ericanS, Irish
Americans, and SO forth. In other
words, they want to make the Negro
conscious Of the fact that he is
first of all a Negro and secondly an
American.

take their place. Forces have been re-
grouped, so that corps and armies might
have at their disposal the number of
divisions and the number and type of
supporting units needed for their new
offensive missions. Plans have been re-
cast and tactical procedures altered to
take account of the experience of the
last years fighting. There have been
conferences of staff officers and higher
commanders.
New supply depots of all sorts must
be established close enough to the new
fronts to be of immediate service when
the big drive begins. The requirements
of these depots go clear back into the
depths of the industrial and transporta-
tion system of the country. For ex-
ample, it will be found that there is
shortage of ammunition for such type
OF gun, but the reports of commanders
will indicate that this gun has been
particularly effective and will be used
in larger numbers. So factories X, Y
and z, perhaps clear over in the Urals,
will have to put all their efforts on
turning out that type of ammunition
to the exclusion of some other types
they have been producing. This calls
for lot of hard work, and it is just
one example which can be multiplied
by hundreds If not by thousands.

Then We must remember that the
Russian armies are now penetrating
into areas where all the railways have
been constructed on the European
standard gauge a feet 81 inches,
whereas the Russian railways have a
5-foot gauge. Since captured locomo-
tives and cars of standard gauge will
probably be neither numerous nor serv-
iceable, the Russians must either relay
the track of standard-gauge lines which
they are compelled to use, or they must
manufacture or import standard gauge
locomotives and cars. Then, they must
build new lines, increase the capacity
of yards and sidings and carry out a
vast program of repair and replacement
to undo the demolition work of the
Germans.
Finally, roads must be built or re-
paired, bridges restored and a new,
huge motor transport system set up, big
enough not only to take care of the
normal traffic between railroads and
the troops, but also big enough to take
care OF the extra burden imposed by an
advance deeper into areas served by
standard-gauge railways.

Franco and the things he represents.
Perhaps the President was Influenced
by entirely legitimate considerations
of domestic politics. But, whatever
the reasons, the difference seems
unimportant. The important thing
is that the two men should be in
accord on the ultimate objective of
Anglo American policy toward Spain,
and there is no reason to suppose
that there is any serious difference
on this score. The layman's diff
Guilty is that he does not know the
exact nature of the objective. But
it will become clear as the picture
of the war unfolds, and when the
whole story is known we will discover
in all probability that the President
and the Prime Minister have been
working together in this matter, and
not at cross purposes.

would provide the Allies with only a
general guidance of how to handle
Europe. His speech reminded many
observers of the fate Of the IA points
Of President Wilson around which were
centered the hopes of war-weary
Europe in 1918.
President Roosevelt and his State
Department and other advisers cannot
dispose Of the situation In Europe in
the same manner as the British and
the Russians. The principal safeguard
OF this country against another Euro
pean war depends on general peace
on the continent of q type whereby
none OF the smaller nations can feel
injured. They must lose neither inn
portant sections Of their territory nor
the complete sovereignty they enjoyed
before the war.
From all the outward indications 1t
appears, however, that the Moscow and
London plans will necessitate certain
rather painful 'readjustments. The
American Government, particularly on
the eve OF an important election, cannot
indorse such ''readjustments" as light
heartedly as the other major powers.

Since Mr.. Roosevelts return from
Teheran and especially in the last two
months 1t has become obvious that the
paciflcation of Europe had become
question which interested not only
internationally minded groups, but the
bulk OF the American people. A good
deal OF thought was given to the prob
lem of finding solution which, while
harmonizing with the wishes of Britain
and Russia in its general outlines, also
would satisfy the American public
The creation of United States of
Europe somewhat along the lines of the
plan advocated by Count Coudenhove-
Kalerghi as far back as 1928, is believed
IN responsible quarters to be possible
solution which would please the Amer
ican people and also reconcile the de-
sires OF our associates In Europe.
All the available postwar European
plans depend, Of course, on the military
operations which are expected to start

Western fronts the American Govern

Praise for the South
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In connection with the poll tax debate,
I have noticed comparisons being made
between the vote in poll-tax States and
those not having such requirements in
the South, and I note that the recent
Florida primaries, where there is now no
poll tax, brought out only a little more
than 35 per cent of the vote, even though
there were numerous important fights,
including those for United States SEN
ator, Governor, many Congressman and,
above all, the fight for the control of the
delegates to the national convention.
The bushes were beaten and the nomi-
nations were equivalent to election and
yet only about half of the votes were
cast. When making comparisons with
the Northern States, the Southern pri-
mary elections should be compared to
the general elections of the former, as
the primary elections in the latter are
final in effect.
There long has been much talk about a
second front, but think we have long
since had second front, and it has
been against the South. The South
has been taking good deal laying
down" and 1t is about time that it rise
up and assert itself.
The South is the principal guardian
of our Constitution and our individual
liberties and when it fails in this re-
spect, there is no telling what the end
will be. This, 1t must be admitted, is
very difncult role these days.

Civilian War Services

In strict principle, the House
Subcommittee on District Appro-
priations was on firm ground in
contending that unless services
paid for out of public funds are of
sufficient value to be included as
necessary functions of the municipal
government, they should be sup
ported by volunteer contributions.
There has been recent tendency
to shift the expense of enterprises,
begun on a volunteer basis, over to
the District budget.
But in the case of some of the
civilian war services, such as the
unsuccessful and evidently needed
draft aid center, it would be wise
to continue their support through
public appropriations until the
emergencies with which they were
created to deal have passed. For
the alternative would be to discon-
tinue them, and it is too early to
do that
It Is to be hoped that a successful
compromise can be found when the
pending District bill goes before the
Senate subcommittee, and some OF
the funds eliminated by the House
will be restored. One method of
restoration already under consid-
GRAFTON at the District Building is
to apply some of the funds pre-
viously allotted to civilian protective
services-for which the War De-
partment sees a diminishing need
to such activities as the draft aid
center, which functions in behalf
OF families whose bread winners
have gone into the service. Ever
since the District received its first
"blackout fund" appropriation, it
has been necessary to support with
public funds certain civilian activ-
tiles connected with the war, and
while the need may be temporary
it still exists.

A Wise Endorsement

In forwarding to Congress their
Endorsement of the Park and Plan
ming Commission urban develop
ment" bill for Slun clearance,
sponsored by Senator Capper, the
Commissioners very clearly state a
preference for having the work done
by private enterprise. But they are
equally determined that public hous-
Ing should remain in the picture,
to carry out necessary undertakings
that fail to attract private enter
prise as profitable venture. That
Is the principle which should shape
new legislation for slum clearance
In Washington. If 1t is dangerous
to leave the whole job to public
housing, on its own terms, it is
even more dangerous to confine slum
reclamation to what private enter
prise may choose to accept or reject.
Up to this point, the difficulty has
been to find an acceptable formula
which, when applied, would deter
mine whether given Job was to be
performed by private builders or a
public housing agency. The Com
n1issioners' proposal is to resort to
public housing "only when there is
failure on the part OF private
enterprise to function under condi-
tions comparable with those offered
public housing" Thus, the Com
missioners would require that both
public and private housing pay
taxes and that the rate of interest
on loans be the same for public as
for private housing. The advan-
tages of lower construction and
management costs, claimed by pri-
vate builders, might be offset by the
fact that public housing operates
without profit.
The motive for trying to equalize
competition, of course, is that pri-
vate enterprise will be unable to
secure financial backing If public
housing can undercut it as a result
of privileges which only a public
agency enjoys. The advantage of
stimulating interest by private en-
terprise Is that this may be the
best way to reach the common OBJ
jective Of providing unsubsidized,
decent housing for the lowest in
come groups. What private enter
prise has, done in lowering the cost
OF radios, automobiles and other
commodities may be possible In low
cost housing, once the incentive Of
reasonable profit in this field can
be shown to exist.
But until the demonstration is
made, it would be foolish to elm
mate public housing from the pic
ture. rs already shown, the mere
threat of wide-scale public housing
has spurred private enterprise to a
determination and a show of initia-
tive which until recently were never
In the picture.

This Changing World
By Constantine Brovn

Persons familiar with President
Roosevelt's plans say that the creation
OF United States of Europe will be the
basic principle on which an interna-
tional postwar security machine will be
set up. The blueprint was presented
this week to our major associates by
Secretary OF ate Hull with the fun
approval of the Chief Executive. Our
principal Allies In Europe have their
own conception of what postwar secur-
ity should be.
The Russians have not INDUCED in
mass theology. The Moscow leaders
have told us frankly that their chief
concern Is the security of the USSR.
The way to reach this security, accord
ing to Premier Stain and Foreign
Commissar Molotov, lis to establish q
solid barrier around the borders of the
USSR. According to the Moscow view.
this could be best achieved by establish-
Ing large belt, from the Baltic to the
Adriatic. The republics Of that belt
should be 100 per cent friendly to
Russia.
To certain extent, the British. who
are as anxious as the rest of the world
to prevent another war, share Russias
point Of view. From the speeches OF
Prime Minister Churchill, 1t is obvious
that the British government favors a
concentration of the small states which
In the past have been helpless against
aggression into large groups which
would be assisted and protected by the
great powers.
Marshal Jan Christian Smuts, FREE
quently a blunt interpreter of Mr..
Churchill's political thoughts, has re-
peatedly emphasized the necessity OF
forming a federation of western Euro
pean states with Great Britain as It's
leader. Should such a federation be
possible Britain would not object to a
similar organization under the leader
ship of the USSR.
Pending definite official statements
about the fate of the Reich after its
armed forces have been crushed, there
Is no cleavage between the Soviet and
British views regarding the organiza-
ton of postwar Europe. The principles
set forth In the Atlantic Charter neces-
sarily must be revised and Mr.. Churchill
has made 1t clear in his recent speeches
that he has such a revision in mind.
In his latest speech before the House
of Commons he indicated that the At
