Alpha Sorority.
Senator Truman, who is chair
nan Of the Senate Committee to
investigate the national defense
program, twice voted for cloture
on fillihuSterS against the anti-poll
tax bill-once on November %, 1912
and again on May IS, 1914.
He voted for the original soldier
vote bill and opposed the Eastland
amendment which emasculated the
bill by putting the distribution of
soldiers ballots in the hands of the
Ntates. In addition, Senator Truman
supported the unsuccessful Bark
ley amendment to the soldiers vote
bill which would have made it
possible for service men and women
to receive Federal election ballots
after taking an oath that they had
applied to their states but had re-
ceived no ballet, and would have
given the vote to civilian person
mel located in war theatres. Pre-
viously Senator Truman had voted
to support the anti-lynching bills.
The AKA Council announced
that it would soon reveal the results
of its analysis of the administrator
OF the Republican Vice President
ial nominee, Governor John Brickar
of Ohio.

sharp attack against discrimina-

American Unitarian Youth con-
yention for the United States and
Canada, last week declared that
''as a group we are unalterably OPP
posed to any discrimination be-
cause OF race, color
religion, or national origin as in
compatible with our democratic

Meeting in Ferry Beach, Maine,
the visitors adopting as their mot
to, the phrase, Winning the war,
of paramount importance" stout
ly protested the color segregation
within the armed forces and the
action of the Red Cross authori-
ties in segregating Negro and
white blood in the blood banks,
and sent on wires of protest to
President Roosevelt.
The delegates also urged sup
port of the FEPC and repeal Of
the poll tax laws. Pledging them
selves to assist service men in
securing their absentee ballots
and voting information, the young
people criticized congressional
failure to provide a sin1plified
federal ballot for service men.

signed to ease somewhat the load
of discrimination with which black
backs are burdened or a liberal
thinker of the opposite group cries
out against the injustices heaped
on Americans of darker hue; the
education-is-the-s solution brethren
become very vociferous.
AGAINST LEGISLATION
They can with solemn faces
soberly point out that legislation
won't bring about an authorization
of Americas perplexing problem OF
color; nor will repeated frontal at
tacks of justice-loving white
Americans. BE patient" they will
tell you, 1.-The slow process of edu-
cation is the only way to solve it. ;
After waiting three quarters
of century those of us suffer-
ing from the stigma of color in
nation which places its SUI
preme values on white skin
ask, well, when does the edu-
cation program get underway"
In but few instances all of the
information disseminating sources
are of one voice in preventing a
fair and true picture of black
Americans being presented to their
white neighbors.
WAR BEST EXAMPLE
The war presents the best ex-
ample. Only on rare occasions is
any mention made of the compo-
site color of allied forces winning
the fight for freedom around the
world. Least mentioned is the con-
tribution of the heroic black
Americans, consigned for the most
part to do the Army's highly i'm
portant, but back breaking dirty
work of service and supply; bleed
ing and dying like other Ameri-
cans, but sharing very little in the
glory enjoyed by those fortunate
enough to be assigned to combat.
White Americans are pur-
posely kept ignorant Of those
things black Americans are
doing and those who shout
education is the solution full
well know it. The new Burma
road was finished the other
day. The event was given wide
space in Americas daily press,
yet not one of them thought it
important enough to mention
that this difficult task was the
work Of black Americans in
the Engineers Corps.

is holding UP matters.
Speculation which has found
some general acceptance is that
the Democratic party leaders may
have been asked to come through
with certain things designed 10
demonstrate that they ere still
entitled to this vote of Negroes.
Admittedly it is not a matter Of
going out and telling Negro people
to vote the Democratic tickle
without making suitable gestures"
to them.
Perhaps one Of the spots OBJ
served by Negro party leaders is
that they do not have better en-
tree to the President, Until now
Negroes have had to rely upon the
good Offices of various whites IL
transmit their case. This has not
been considered satisfactory when
other groups have been able to find
ready access to the White House
tenant.
Desirable appointments in addi-
ton, are understood to be another
bone of cotention. When these
matters are finally ironed out,

the campaign among Negro voters

tional committee will then take the
announcement that Negro party

press. The motion picture colony
had the effrontry to release a pic
ture based on the historic building
of the Alcan highway one of the
engineering feats of history. But
Hollywood could not stick to facts
It's picture seen by millions OF
Americans left the general public
believing that the work was done
wholly by white Americans, when
the fact is that more than one half
of the Army perconnel were men,
bers of Americas dispossesSed ten
per cent.
MUTILATE MOVIES
Perhaps Hollywood knew that to
tell the truth would have, resulted
in the mutilation Of the picture!
For that is just what is happening
in that section of the country
which harbors most of those who
contend that education is the only
solution. There is deliberate and
cruel censorship to prevent the
masses of people from seeing Negro
Americans in anything but an I'M
favorable light
While arguing that education
is the way to better racial re-
latiOns, they are determined
that the only picture the mass
es of whites in the South (whO
need it most, get of Negroes
is one that blends perfectly
with the traditional conception
of magnolia blossoms, big plan
tations, and grinning slaves
singing spirituals.
They use scissors on the few
pictures that Hollywood might re-
lease showing Negro Americans as
intelligent, civilized, cultured beings
They refuse to exhibit newsreels
showing the exploits of Negro
life as it is. They want only to
perpetuate a lie, to foster not so
subtle propaganda designed to up
hold the myth of white supremacy.
DOUBT SINCERITY
That is why SO many Of us doubt
the sincerity of these education
is-the-solution prophets, who hold
their tongues in their cheeks when
thev bring forth this philosophy.
That is why we have lost patience
with those of the opposite group
who have SO long contended that
they are "our best friends" yet
fail so completely to act the part.
And this is why we no longer
hold any faith in their professed
good intentions, but must seek more
direct, more militant methods in
removing the stigma of second
class citizenship with which We
have SO long been cursed.

concerned about 1nauguratlng such
a truth telling program.
To the contrary, black Ameri-
cans who would be the chief
beneficiaries of such campaign
are today more maligned by studied
insulting status quo propaganda
than ever before.
If education is the solution,
certainly the only instruments that
can tell the truth are the press,
the radio and the motion picture.
One does not have to be a sociolo-
gist or a propaganda specialist to
know that these public opinion
forming agencies, instead of tell
ing the truth about Negro Ameri-
cans, are actually being used to
sustain the myth of white supre-
macy.
CURIOUSLY SILENT
The proponents of the education
philosophy in improving racial
relations are curiously silent about
the slanderous attacks made against
Negroes in the daily newspapers;
they cannot be heard from when
the motion picture continues to
present the bug-eyed routine of
Willie Best as characteristic of
Negro life in America; they never
raise their voices in protest over
radios persistent and false picture
of Negroes as still dwelling in the
headed, Bingham and
overall dis an dat era of the
slavery time plantation.
The only time they are heard
from is when direct, frontal
attack is being made against
the social, political and econo-
mic injustices to which black
Americans have so long been
subjected.

The defendant was George Alex
ander Mcclure Roberts, a NUM-
tons worker in England. He had
joined the Home Guard as volun-
teer, but failed to attend picket
duty last March. He explained his
failure as due to an incident in
which he had been refused admls-
sion to a dance hall because Of his
color. He returned to the hall
wearing his Home Guard uniform,
but had again been refused. Be-
cause of that, he said, he would
not go on Home guard duty any
more, that the incident had hurt
him SO much that he rendered his
resignation from the Home Guard.
ROBERTS WITNESS
One Of the PRINCIPAL witnesses
for Roberts was the World-famous
West Indian cricketer, Learie Con-
stantine, who only recently was
granted nominal damages against
the Imperial Hotel, Ltd, for refuS-
ing him lodgings.
The Judge, Mr.. E. c. Hemmerde,
Kings counsel, in giving Judgment
said: 81 am told that the position
of colored people in this country
has somewhat changed since the
nationals of another of our allies
joined us in this country. I am
/ not concerned with the views Of
our allies on the question of color
but 1 was much impressed by one
remarks made by Mr. Roberts when
he said, You can always tell the
better class of people in factories
because they are people who do
not believe in color bars and other
matters of privilege.
my own experience of dealing
with our allies and citizens Of the
United States is that most Of the
| people / met have the same views
as l do upon color and are no more
| likely to offend or be offended by
the presence Of colored people than
1 am.
REDUCES FINE
IF anything that I may say
may offend citizens of some other
allied countries, let me say that
the allied nations make up a DEM
ocratic world, and if they have
color prejudice, they must occa-
sionally come into collision with
people who have not I happen to
be one who has not.
when people come here to risk
their lives, thin kthey are en-
titled to think that they are COM
ing to conditions of decency and
order. If they find when coming
here that what I am inclined to
call a noisy and intolerant minori-
ty are not prepared to give them
equal rights, l think they have a
right to be angry. think it is i'm
pertlnence for any country to &C
cept the aid of colored people from
any part of the world and then
say, our laws don't enable us to
deal with you on terms of COM
plete equality"
Summing up, the Judge said
that while he could not allow the
appeal on the question of princi-
pie because the law was against
him, he would deal with the ap-
appeal in a way which would al
low or show that the country's dl-
ties had also not been attended
properly.
He reduced the original sentence
to the nominal fine Of one farth-
ing-less than a cent.
