Once again." the Journal and
Guide points out, 1T becomes clear
that, beore the war, the Army had
no policy and probably no plans to
use any but a bare minimum oil Negro
troops. Instead Of beginning with an
amendment to the Selective Service
Act prohibiting racial discrimination
it has met probledls as they have a
risen, compromising on some, moving
backward IN others, and occasionally
getting on firm, democratic ground.
But no fixed determination or guild
ing ~p6inciple by which to deal in a
specific way with each question was
in existence, nor has come into ex-
i~stence, except in a piece-meal way"
Praising the fact that the Army un-
der pressure Of public opinion admit
ted Negro men to the Air Forces
and sent them overseas, and commit
ted selected combat ?type units to &C
ton such as the 93rd Division, the
54th Coast Artillery Regiment and
the oath Infantry, the Journal and
Guide declares, They are steps for
ward. But the confusing and discour
aging factor is that for each such
step ahead there is a comparable step
backward" noting that, such units
as the 369th Regiment (famed as
New York's Fighting 15th) trained
for combat, are given routine guard
duty. Oters are converted to service
and stevedore units. One, trained for
over two yeads, not counting its peace
time preparation as a National Guard
unit, got overseas, but was given non
combat duty even though General
Mark Clark requested it for a COM
bat assignment with his Fifth army.

ccrdit,on Of the Negro in 1871, ard
advances made since hat time. =
months before Pearl Harbor, Neg,o-
co constituted 16 percent of all Pc
sons on WPA relief. They comprise
a smaller percentage in mining, man
ufactu-ing, transportation and comr1-
unication than they had 80 years be-
fore in 1910" Ross stated. "A dis
passionate and objective analysis OF
American peacetime manpower II
1871 would have shown a vast under
utilization Of Negro workers"
Pointing out that as late as 1912
only three percent of war industry
workers were non-white, Ross said
the rapid rise in non-white employ
ment to almost eight percent in prime
war industries in less than two years
was due to efforts of many people
and agencies, acting under the guild
ance CT the Presidents non-discrim-
inatio1 policy. In Government serv-
ice, lie pointed out, the trend was con
stantly upward and at present 10 per
cent If all Federal employees are Ne
groes.
Turning from the relatively good
condition in which the Negro indust-
rial worker finds himself today, FE-
PCS chairman emphasized the diffic-
ulties which can be expected in the
near future, citing recent announce
ments by production officials Of cut
backs III aircraft, U. S. Maritime and
other war contracts. "The fact is
that the war industries in which Ne
groes have made their most impress
i've gains are exactly those which
must be cut back most deeply in re-
coversion," Ross said, mentioning
shipbuilding, aircraft, iron and steel,
ordnance, mining, ammunition and
other industries where Negroes have
found wartime employment. In ad-
dition to the deep cuts these indus
tries must take, the Negro workers
in them have, in general, less on-the
job seniority and will be let off in pro
portionately greater numbers"
Ross reminded the Committee Of
the riots when cutbacks brought en-
.ployment insecurity after the last
war; and asked, that men Of good

POLITICS AND "WEAsEL WORDS

One of the founders of the Haver-
ford News (Pa.), was David Hinshaw
class of 1911, Haverford. College.
The Haverford News made feature
of his return to his Alma Mater and
he delivered an address on political
Platforms and How They Are Built.
President Felix Morley welcomed Mr..
Hinshaw, whose recent book, "Ihe
Home Front" is an outstanding an
alysis of today, and an invaluable
guide for the future.
The following is from the News:
"Mr. Hinshaw stated that the hrst
platform was that of the Democrats
in 1910, which contained nine planks
most of them being anti. There
were three periods into which plat
forms could be divided: slavery, the
bloody shirt period, after the civil
War, and the period in which social,
economic and industrial problems
came to the fore.
"The times have helped to create
great political platforms as the Re
publican one of 1856 against slavery,
the Bull Moose platform OF 1917
the so-called Covenant with the
People, which was in the period OF
the great change in our nation from
an agrarian to an industrial economy
and the Democrat platform OF 1882
dealing with the depression.
"Mr Hinshaw emphasized that the
minor parties platforms were consis-
tently the better ones. While the ma
ior parties filled their platforms with
weasel words in an attempt to OBJ
tain votes, the minor ones had moth
ing to lose with their revolutionary
programs. The spirit of the minol
parties is exemplified in the words OF
'SockIess Jerry Simpson, Kansas
City politician, who said, know
am not going to win, but what il l
were to?'
"In conclusion, Mr.. Hinshaw
pointed out that major party plat
forms as a covenant with the people
do not amount to much, but as an
instrument in bringing up questions
for discussion, they are an invalu-
able aid"

NATIONAL ACCLAIM GREETS
OCONOR JOB FUND SPEECH

The stirring demands voiced by
Governor Herbert r. O'Conor, OF
Maryland, before the Governors OF
the Country at the Annual Governors
Conference in Hershey, that current
efforts to federaliZe the Unemploy-
ment Compensation Systems OF the
Country be defeated, and that the
States be particularly alert at this
time to safeguard their inherent
rights, have met with enthusiastic
endorsement from State and Unem-
ployment Compensation offici a | S
throughout the Country.
Representatives of the various
States, who appeared before Senator
Georges Postwar Committee in
Washington, in opposition to changes
in the Unemployment Compensation
setup, asked permission to include
the Governors speech in its entirety
in their presentation to the Senate
Committee At the same time, formal
resolutions adopted by the Cover
nors' Conference, decrying attempts
to federalize Unemployment Compen-
sation, and asking the return to the
States at the earliest possible mo-
ment of the Employment Systems
both patterned directly after Cover
nor O'Conor's plea-have been pre-
scented to Committees of the Senate
and House of Representatives by
Frank Bune, Executive Director OF
the Governors Conference, on be-
half of the Executive Committee OF
the Conference.
Many requests have been made to
the Executive Offices in Annapolis,
as to the availability of printed cop
les of Governor O'Conor's speech,
for distribution throughout the
Country. In two States alone it is
projected to use 100000 copies for
distribution to employers, and Wash
ington representatives of the State
Unemployment Systems think that a
minimum of 100000 copies of the
speech will be needed to satisfy the
demands.

FARMERS USE PRISONERS OF
WAR

The work done by prisoners of war
in the United States either is in OF
related almost entirely to agricul-
ture, forestry or food processing, the
Office of War Information reports.
No farmer may house prisoners, and
prisoners are sent to farms only
when there is work for units of 10
or more. The War Food Administra-
tion does not generally advocate use
of prisoners of war side by side with
civilians. Prisoners are always guard
ed by American soldiers. Approx
mately 45,500 prisoners worked on
farms last year, mostly in the South,
harvesting peanuts, rice, cotton and
sugar cane.

C. van Leirop and the Railway Ex-

Trask, who cultivates 1,400 acres

Trask purchased 1873 bushels of
five varieties of the bulbs and half
