Inc Republicans held their COM
mittee meeting in Chicago a week
or so ago, and from reports the
brothers and sisters under the COP
banner had a few knives out for
each other, and a little quiet, buS
deadly slashing was done. A lot
of ballyhoo glutted the newspapers
and to read most of it, one would
have thought that Wendell Willkie
was thoroughly washed up and
through as a candidate in 1914. But
after the first barrage of talk about
Dewey and Warren, of California,
the wire services carried a story
saying that Dewey and Willkie were
tied at p votes each for top prefer
ences of the committeeman present.
AS bewildering as this story was,
it was matched by complaint from
John D. NJ. Hamilton that the
Willkie forces were using "blitz"
tactics and must stop playing that
way. If Willkie is out of the
picture, why complain about any
thing his followers do? 1t all adds
up to the fact that the boys and
girls are playing for keeps, with
no holds barred.
The Republicans in Congress are
chopping their way to some des-
tination or other by using the
hatchets, in cahoots with southern
Democrats, on all progressive ad-
ministration proposals, especially
those which would benefit the
Negro.
The hell which the Negro is
catching in Congress means that
in the scramble to get" FDR, the
COP is giving aid and comfort to
Democrats who hate both the New
Deal and the Negro-and perhaps
FDR-in the hope of capturing the
White House next November.
Southern governors, meeting the
other day, admitted that even
though the South does not like the
administrations racial policy, the
South will remain Democratic.

choice. He was sold down the river
by a GOP-Dixie coalition on the
aid-to-education bill. The same
combination killed an anti-poll tax
bill and will kill the new bill now
before the Senate unless the people
speak. The row over the soldier
vote bill is largely a row about the
Negro vote. There are other factors,
but the idea of Negro soldiers from
Dixie being able to vote has given
Rankin and company apoplexy.
Here, too, the COP has Joined
Rankin against the colored citizens.
There are indications that the same
GOP-Dixie group has an axe out
for the new social security bill.
On the other hand, the Democrats
outside the South are not making
any record calling for hosannas.
FDR had a chance to act in the
FEPC railroad matter. With
typical FDR strategy" he ap-
pointed a committee to adjust" it.
He could have ordered the railroads
to hire Negro iremen. Not he.
The Negro in the armed serv-
ices touches nearly every family in
the race. Mr.. Roosevelt could have
improved this situation long ago
without hurting anyone except the
unreconstructed rebels. He has not
made a move.
The upshot of the matter is that
the Negro does not know, at the
moment, whether he has anything
solid and dependable in the Roose-
welt administration, weighted down
with it's relatives from below the
Potomac, or whether he can ex-
pect anything solid from the Re-
pubicans who play ball so well
with the Dixie demagogues.
Quite aside from domestic issues,
there is the whole question of who
is going to run what kind of an
America to make what kind of a
world after the war. The Negro
has a stake in that, and a big
stake. Yes, the 1914 election will
be something like a Beale street
alley scrap on a Saturday night.

Pilgrim Baptist Church News:
Reverential and inspiring services
were held last Sunday. Rev. Isaac
Fisher, noted retired minister, led
the congregation in the pastoral
prayer. Preceding the very NOV
ing sermon, the congregation sang.
The guest soloist for the morning
service was Mrs. Ermine Allen who
sang 30 Lord and Master" Rev.
Fisher captured the attention of
the entire body with his sermon,
"The Peace of God" He said,
Though a nation is at war, the
peace of God is forever with us for
His peace passeth all understand
ing"
After a long and severe illness,
Mr.. A. Milligan, an old member of
the church, was able to attend the
service. He expressed his sincere
gratitude for being able to attend
and the hope that he may attend on
future Sundays.
On Sunday, Jan. %, at Vesper
services, the pastor told everyone
how to acquire charm. This SER
mon was one which gave good ad-
vice especially to the young people.
He gave a condensed formula which
was guaranteed to make one charm
ing. His recipe is:
First, take a lot of love, add to
it large lump of kindness, pour
in a large measure of good cheer,
put in big COB of sense of humor,
use a great deal of patience, dump
in large amount of faith IN God,
people and oneself, stir in plenty
of hope, mix in an abundance of
courage to avoid turning yellow,
stir smiles in with the other in
gradients, mix well, apply to the
heart each day and do not wipe
away surplus cream.
Rev. and Mrs. Ware celebrated
their birthdays last Sunday by in
viting all members and friends to
call at the parsonage between four
and eight p. m. There were no eve

Editor: We have been informed
that a movement is on to petition
against the operation of a recrea-
tional center located in the South
Central District, namely 345-347
E. 3Sth Street, not naming any
other address which we think
should claim it a rendezvous for
the youth who are under suspicion
in the recent sluggings in Mime
apolis.
To our minds this is another
vicious attempt to smear upon our
community an unworthy SANDER.
We being fathers of children realize
the problems of child delinquency
is now becoming a matter in which
all the parents must cooperate to
combat it.
The youth need guidance and
leadership, by which they may de-
velop and acquire and maintain rec
reational, educational and cultural
facilities, resulting in becoming bet
ter citizens. On one hand we have
group who can visualize the fu-
ture, on the other a group of COM
placent minded people who evil
IDENTIFY are interested in only
themselves, not their children.
Mr.. Robert Mallory, owner of
the property named, has the con-
viction and determination to do his
part in the community, and is to be
commended for the stand he has
taken against this reactionary
group. This particular group seems
unwilling to face realities existing,
therefore are using ways and means
to excite the citizenry of all races
and classes in our city. 1t is long
story about the people of our COM
munity and their cooperation in
civic and uplifting projects. l am
enclosing for your information a
copy of our First Annual Member
ship Campaign pamphlet also a
sheet of answers to some of the
stock Objections" to the center.
We hope this information will
enlighten and broaden your vision
in regards to the propaganda. We
pray that those with human inter
ests and authority will not only
stop this fragrant method of mis-
leading people, but try to encourage
them towards unity and peace.

To the Editor,
l wish to express my thanks to
you upon the tribute you paid to US,
the Soldiers of the Twin Cities.
The title of your page read as fol-
lows: I'VE Salute the Boys and
Girls Who Are Serving Their Coun-
try" Your salute to me, as we'll
as others, was greatly appreciated,
and |, as one of the many thou
sands, salute you back with a title
to read like this: I'VE Salute the
Parents and Others on the Home
Front, Who Are Our Backbone and
Are Pushing Us on to Victory" You
are really doing a fine job on the
home front, but most of all keep
the morale of the boys up by those
letters of yours, for they indeed
play the biggest part.
From what have seen in North
Africa and where l am now located,
l would fight for thirty years not
to let it come to America. Poverty
plays very big part among the
civilians and also the army. Little
children barely clad and ill fed,
straying in the streets. Lone sur
vivors of the air-raids, some children
and others the aged, begging and
trying every way possible to make
some type of medium of exchange
for our food and cigarettes. They
hold memories in their hearts, Dear
Editor, Of the night they lost their
homes, parents and love of life. Now
they live as animals of the lower
life, scurrying to get the leavings
left by our army. This is what we
are fighting for, to prevent this
from happening to the smaller flow
ers of our race.
Upon my induction, dreaded the
army and its purpose to the fullest,
because was deprived of my am
bltlon of returning to school, but
now that 1 have seen this cause.
heard this cause, and above all, felt
this cause for which we are fight
ing, am grateful in doing my part
to aid in bringing victory to our
land.
In closing, may l say, keep up
the swell work and don't forget the
morale builder that is so prominent
in bringing forth victory; those let
tiers to our boys over here and other
places. l pause to wish YOU and
others the Merriest Xmas and Han
piest of all New Years.
Sincerely,
