Jobs for Negroes
In Latin America
BY Harold Preece

Go South, young Negro-south
of the Rio Grande where 20 Latin
American nations want your help
in developing what's going to be
one of the worlds greatest bOoms.
Learn Spanish and prepare your
self for a lifetime work in an area
where 1OO,OOO,OOO out of 100000
900 are colored people-Negroes,
Indians, and mixed blood folk who
threw out Jim Crow when they
threw out their lily-white Spanish
taskmasters in the generation fol-
lowing our American revolution.
Cicente Lombardo Toledano,
president of the Latin American
Confederation of Labor and recog-
nized leader of the workers dele
cations from the colored Latin
American countries, pointed out last
week at the International Labor
Conference in Philadelphia that one
big change for postwar prosperity
lay in the economic and social de-
velopment of these awakening
dark-skinned nations.
Latin America, said Toledano,
wants the help of the United States
in developing her industries and
her peoples. And other Latin
American delegates made it pretty
plain what kind of Americans
they wanted down there to help do
the job.
These delegates, said in SUBJ
stance, that Americans like Bilbo
might as we'll not get their feet wet
crossing the Rio Grande. Our
neighbors have already had too
many of the old-style Americans
who hated Latin Americas colored
majority-that kind of American
who calls colored people Triggers"
north of the Rio Grande, and who
calls colored people "spicks" and
"greasers" south of the Rio Grande.
For who ever tried to practice
white supremacy" in Latin Amer
lea finally got run out on a rail.
Today white supremacy is more I'M
popular than ever in that great Sec
ton of the colored world, accord
ing to what some Latin American
delegates said in Philadelphia.
A white patriot priest, Father
Nunez, from one of the few "white"
countries of Latin America, spoke
in the spirit of Mexico's great Ne
gro priest and liberator, Father
Morales, when he said:
e.. Specifically, we ask for the
workers of Latin America the bene-
fits of an international policy which
does not recognize any discrimina-
ton of race, nationality, sex or re-
ligion. We support the principles
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1944-05-12

of free trade unions -"
DR.. Nanetti, delegate from Co.
lombia where Negroes comprise at
least one-ffth of the population,
followed Father Nunez and de-
clared that:
"In a world of ruin and tears, in
the midst of skepticism and hatred,
we have to reconstruct world illu-
minated by faith, justice, and peace.
". There will be no lasting
peace unless it is based on social
justice, that all human beings with
out distinction of race, creed or sex,
have the right to pursue their in
tellectual development and material
well-being, in conditions of freedom
and dignity, in economic security
and equality of opportunity. Work
should not be a commodity. There
should be guaranteed living wages.
And lastly, freedom of association,
of expression must be the essential
condition for constant progress.
"The American peoples, pro-
ducers of raw materials, are hope
for the prosecuted of all the world,
who seek, in new world, bread
and freedom and yearn for decent
humane life" Then DR.. Nanetti
pointed out, in so many words, that
the hearts of Latin Americas col
ored peoples beat in tune with the
colored peoples of all other lands
where robbery and imperialism
have been the gifts of "enlightened
white civilization"
eff the future fate of the poor
in Latin America depends at the
present time on the prices and pos
sibilities of consumption of raw
materials, we cannot forget that
many of these products also come
from other parts of the world which
need to intensity their evolution
to reach a decent and human stand
ard of living"
Latin America, where the blood
of the Negro runs as deeply as
Latin Americas great rivers, will
welcome Negro technicians and
teachers, doctors and nurses, Ne
groes who can do anything useful
and who will come there with the
intention of giving as well as tax
ing-that is the plain implication
in these words of Latin Americas
distinguished spokesman.
Next week I'm going to discuss
specifically some of the jobs that
may be open to American Negroes
in Latin America if American Ne
groes will start campaigning now
to get those jobs.

Dear Editor:
Please mail me your subscription

lance for subscription at once.
Tell Mr.. Newman he might be
interested in knowing that after
examining many cartridges from
Federal Cartridge Co., at New
Brighton, where 1 was employed
before being indicted into the
army, 1 had given up hope of ever
finding any from that plant. Then
one day while I was stationed at
Maxwell Field, Ala, I was called
to the ammunition dump for a little
extra duty. There were several
small boxes of cartridges dated
'last world war shipment, Federal
Cartridge Plant, Anoka, Mimi"
These shells are as old as 1 am
or. older but are very much alive
and in our present stock. (Was my
nose red?)

We Have Race
Equality Do You?
By Helen Hayes

(World-tamouS actreSS)
Race equality is practically an
unwritten law of the theatre. Ne
groes have always shared equally
the work of the theatre-and its
fame. In my memory there never
has been question about it. Paul
Robson - Ethel Waters - Canada
Lee-I could name hundreds of
Negroes whose place in the theatre
has never been questioned. We of
the theatre, regardless of race or
color, work together in the same
casts without so much as thinking
about it. Race differences have
stopped being a problem with us.
1 am proud of that fact. am proud
of the theatre because it is true.
And if it is true of the theatre,
why should it not be true of other
professions and other industries &?
There is no reason why not. Race
equality can become a reality, if
only it can be tried completely
without prejudice, with mutual re-
spect on both sides. In the new
world that is to arise from this war
it must be tried-and it will sue
coed. The theatre, one of the great
common denominators of our
democracy, is living proof that it
will.
