POrtland's Social Season
Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Martin Open

Among Portland's finest hosts
are the genial Mr.. and Mrs. Jack
Martin who opened springs social
season with a brilliant cocktail
party in their palatial home, sun
day, March 5, from 3 to 5 p. m,
attended by 200 guests. Supper
(turkey-ham n everything) for a
select few followed.
This smartest of parties was to
honor Mrs. Richard Arts and
Mr.. Philip Mccullough of Seattle,
house guests of the Martins; Mrs.
Thomas Hinton of Los Angeles.
Calf; and Mrs. Chester Dixon,
of Keyport, Wn.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. L. Mccullough
of Seattle, parents of Philip, and
Mrs. Roland Smith of Los Angeles
were scheduled to share these
honors. However fate decreed di-
versely-it was deeply regrettable
to receive the distressing news
that Mrs. Smiths husband was
stricken with flu, and Mrs. Nc
Cullough likewise in Seattle, was
rushed to the hospital.
Greeting guests upon arrival
were the demure Misses Roselee
Thomas (God-child of Mrs Mar
tiny and Connie Nancy, wearing
almost identical formals in alice
blue chiffon. Guests were then
usherad to the recreational rooms
downstairs where a dining-size
table covered with file lace,
adorned with a gorgeous floral
center, aglow with candles, mag
nifying a huge bowl of sparkling
punch and trays of assorted
canapes and hors d'oeuyres, was
presided over alternately by Mes

fled at the reports of atrocities
in the South Pacific. 1t makes
an Americans blood boil to even
imagine the horrors visited upon
gallant boys in the service or
their country. We are swearing
vengeance upon thos who would
torture our boys and we shall
not fail to right these awful
wrongs.
B But while our blood is boil
ing, we had better let it boil a
little over those who, by stirring
race prejudice, have assiduously
cultivated the enmity of the Jap
anese. The sheer cast upon Japan
at the peac table and the exclu-
sion acts conceived in prejudice
have embittered the Japanese
and that we could expect any
thing else is difficult to under
stand. These terrible atrocities
that are shocking us into the
retaliation that we are fighting
a relentless and brutal foe are
but the fruits of a long and
studied sowing. They are but
chickens come home to roost
and are further proofs that God
is not Knocked, for whatsoever a
man soweth that shall he also
reap; and it is even SO with ma
tions and races.
We are not going to learn the
hard lessons of experience until
we realize that it is just at at
rocious to SOW the seeds of race
prejudice as to reap it's hideous
harvest in the South Pacific.
Every person who has cultivated
prejudice of race has directly
or indirectly contributed to the
wicked atrocities that compel a
nation to avenge the suffering
of its sons. Praeiudicium generis

The Negro Soldier

Nothing like the War Depart
ment film, 1.-The Negro Soldier, y
has previously been seen on the
silver screen.
Highly praised by all those,
eolored and white, who have
seen private showings, this saga
of the Negro soldier is now ready
for showing throughout the
world, in neighborhood theatres,
in war plants, in churches and
in camps.
While this fine film is pri
marily the story of the participa-
ton of colored people in all the
wars of the United States against
internal and external enemies. It
goes farther in that it includes
much material on the contribu-
ton of the Negroes to the build
ing of this civilization from the
earliest days to the present.
1t is refreshingly free of any
eondescension or Uncle Tomism
and Carlton Moss. technical ad-
wiser, will long be remembered
for his playing OF the role of an
intelligent and earnest young
Negro minister who tells the
story of the Negroes contribution
to his congregation.
Made by the Special Coverage
Section, U. S. Army Signal Corps,
under the supervision of Col.
Frank Capra, noted movie diree-
tor, "The Negro Soldier" was
written and narrated by the bril-
liant young colored man, Carlton
Moss, with a cast of fine Negro
players and competent tech.
nical staff.
There is nothing shoddy or
cheap about this film, and every
American who sees it will not
only take pride in the excellent
job done, but also praise the War
Department for finally coming
around to doing it.
1t took a long time for the War
Department to be persuaded to
do something of this sort, for in
the beginning and for a long
time after Pearl Harbor, 1t took
the position that its business was
TO fight a war and not to improve
interracial relations.
1t has now been brought
around to abandoning that posi-
ton, and the about face has been
complete.
Now that the War Department
has done its job, it is up to the
colored citizens of this country to
get busy and see that this film
is seen by as many people as
possible, colored and white.
You can have it shown in your
favorite theatre If you write to
the manager of that theatre urg-
ing that he present it.
You can have it shown in your
war plant if enough of you insist
that it be shown.
1t is understood that arrange
ments can be made for showing
ii in schools, colleges and
churches.
Get your friends, associates,
fellow workers and members of
your family to write these letters
NOW.
If this remarkable picture is
not shown everywhere in this
country, a great part of the fault
will lie with us.
The War Department is cages
to get as wide an audience as
and we should be glad to help.

Another Attack to Back
BY DEAN GORDON B.
HANCOCK for A. n. p.

Carthage delenda est" (car-
thage must be destroyed). Thus
spoke the immortal Cato of Rome
when he saw a threat TO Rome's
survival as a world power. ePra-
eiudicium generis delendum est. g"
Thus may speak all mankind, for
evidences are rapidly multiplying
that unless race prejudice is de-
stroyed il will destroy mankind.
This matter of race prejudice
is no longer a matter that con-
Germs the Negro of these United
States of America. 1t is a matter
that must be faced by the world
and the sooner the better Preju-
dice has laid Europe waste be-
! fore tn raYages of war that Hit
Ter let loose upon the world with
his theories of superracism that
have their genesis and survival In
race prejudice. This horrible
harvest of sweat and tears and
blood has come of the sowing of
the dragons teeth of race preju-
dice. The man or the race that
sows the seeds of race prejudice
should bear well in mind that
a harvest of hellishness is in
evitable.
For quite so years the nations
haeve set supinely by and al
lowed a few men to SOW unhin-
dered the seeds of race prejudice
with the serult we are today
Mortified at some of the first
fruits of an awful harvest. Let
us not deceive ourselves. The in
describable suffering that is be-
ing visited upon mankind is but
partial payment for our indiffer-
ence to the men of evil design
who have persisted in preaching
a doctrine not of brotherhood
but of super-raeism.
Fifteen years ago it was begin |
ming to be apparent that we were
heading for a war of racism. Hit
Ter precipitated this war but
those who eonnived at these doc
trines of super-racism cannot be
exculpated for they were abet-
ting a bad man in his hellish
designs. The pit was digged pri-
marily for the Negro race but
mankind has fallen into it, Max
ing trouble for others is just as |
dangerous when done by races
as when done by individuals. We !
are paying an awful price for
Hitler's folly-and ours. Here in
America we must rise up and |
put down race prejudice, cost /
what it will. The security that we
seek cannot be attained while !
race prejudice is rampant in the
land.
The Negro who breaches hate /
and cultivates prejudice for the
sake of a transient popularity is
no more to be pardoned than
the white man who breaches |
prejudice to stay in" with his
crowd. The man who cultivates
suspicion and distrust of others
is playing a dangerous part in
the perpetuation of the danger
Gus thing we call race prejudice.
This nation must launch a def
mite and studied attack on its I
deadliest enemy, prejudice, if it 7
is to be spared great tribulation
in the coming generations. This T
is another attack to back and I
is directly related to the attack
on our far-flung battle lines. The
success of the attack we are /
