Here are some other Pacific realities SO that vo will
understand why there must be Sixth War Loan and why
it is absolutely necessary that it be success:
The Allied Military Command has estimated that it
will take years, not months to lick japan.
Japan's present army numbers about 100000 with
100000 available and fit for military service
who haven't been called up to date Another 900 be-
tween the ages of II and co. yet subject to the draft

Jap workday is twelve to sixteen hours with two DAYS

strike The highest daily wage equals about three Arneri-

The Jap, as our men in the Pacific know, will fight

The Jap will fight the battle from inside the inner Eire
The Jap believes that we will weary Of war too easily

BY James A. White, Chairman

The economic committee of the Jackson Negro Cham
Der of Commerce has attempted number of things to m
them the following ~ The organization of bonds
and thrift cubs 2 The conduct of Business Clinics 3)
general survey of Negro business ~ The establishment of
working contact with the White Chamber of Commerce.
90 The promotion of Negro Trade Week The of
the ventures have not been what desired but they have
proved worthwhile.
From the survey and other contacts with Negro bust
ness men have found the following: % That all Negroes
IN business have less opinion of what the
Negro Chamber of Commerce should do and pledge to sup
port it when that becomes the policy ) That all Negroes
in business believe that all Negroes should trade with their
business, but many of them doing little nothing
have Negroes trade with other Negroes who business
and in instances aren't doing what they should be
dolng ~ The majority of Negroes in business picture
themselves little who living by the support Of
little Negroes they that the big men the Cham
Der of Commerce and hasn't noticed them Tin this they
wrong) ( The average business thinks that Negro
business must organize and unite it's endure
but he is apparently waiting for Moses of the
wilderness to do it for him; (5) There is serious yes
dangerous lack of confidence Negroes business
one another and for Negro leadership
In working up the Negro Trade Week it has not been
