Does the average colored
mother entertain such hopes for
her progeny? Has she become
so embittered over the injustice,
the viciouSness and the denials
of opportunities perpetrated
upon her sons and daughters
until faith has been all but lost?
Perhaps, this is the reason many
colored children become disillu-
stoned even in their early years
in school. At home they are
taught to expect little and re-
ceive less. They are told that
this is a white mans world, that
there is no need TO raspiring
for things unattainable and that
this condition is, like the the
law of the Modes and PerSians,
unalterable. What handicap to
place upon a growing child!
Oftentimes, teachers, under the
guiSe of guidance, practice the
same philosophy. They dis
courage many ambitious boys
and girls from pursuing tasks for
which they are particularly bent.
A few years ago, colored boys
were told not to seek vocations
in the field of aviation. Today
they are covering themselves
with glory in the skies above
Europe and Africa. Suppose
some parent or teacher had told
Francis Rivers that New York
City had never had a colored
Justice of the City Court? Sup
pose someone in authority had
told Mordecai Johnson that
Howard University had never
had a colored president? Boys
in my civics and history classes
often ask why no colored man
has ever been elected President
of these United States. Never
have I or shall discourage
them.
Time is the great leveler of all
things. Energetic action can aid
in reducing the time element.
Colored mothers can inspire
their sons and daughters to be-
come presidents or die in the
attempt. Young thirtetn-year-
old Richard Poe was awarded
the Rebecca Elsberg Memorial
Memorial Scholarship Prize of
$4,000 here in New York City
a few days ago because of his
admirable record in school.
When he was handed his award
he made this statement: Some
day I want to be a radio en-
gineer in television, because
television is coming and I'll
make a lot of money" To that

LETTERS TO
TIE GUARDIAN
A PERSONAL VIEW
To the Editor Of
THE GUARDIAN


Since the lamented passing
of the indomitable founder of
THE GUARDIAN, the most
cherished memorial to his life
and work has been the I'M
tagging manner in which his
newspaper has continued TO
fight for the liberal, progress
i've and truly American way of
life. In this respect the paper
has maintained a national rep
utation which few similar Or
gans have ever achieved.
Hence, it must have been a
severe blow to hundreds of THE
GUARDIANS S t aun C Il
est friends to read the recent
tribute paid to Edward Holton
James, leader of the Yankee
Freeman" movement. do not
for a moment doubt the sin
certify of THE GUARDIAN in
printing the James interview; I
do believe, however, that in
fairness to the papers public
a few facts about Mr. James
and his organization should be
mentioned.
Mr. James was brought dra-
matically to the attention Of
the nation last year, when
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1944-02-05

Attorney James caused the
printing and distribution of
leaflets criminally libelling
President Roosevelt. These
leaflets called for the immedi-
ate resignation of the presi-
dent; they demanded irnmedi-
ate peace with Nazi Germany,
fascist Italy and Hirohito's
Japan, and called for the an
nulment of all lend-leaSe to
our gallant Russian and other
allies. So virulently fascist
were the antics of Mr. James
that Bushnell attempted to
prove him insane, a theory
later denied by psychiatrists.
In the accepted, factual,
documented volume "Under
Cover" an investigator has
stated That James told him
that Il have no use for this
thing called Democracy !.
Hitler is fighting for an ideal.
The Japs are fighting for an
ideal. But in America we have
no principles to fight for" He
added that he advocated the
immediate formation of storm
troopers, and laid great stress
upon his hatred of the Cath
olicS. He made no mention Of
any especial dislike for Jews or
colored~ people, but as a min

painfully in the past that those

most invariably hate our race

quently sooner. i
Mr. James insists that his
Yankee Freeman movement
seeks only to have America
ruled by a real Yankee Arts
tocrat;" it happens to be a
fact, however, that all recent
fascist and Nazi movements, in
Germany, Italy, Spain and
England, have all begun on the
identical mouthings he makes.
Perhaps more important, and
infinitely easier to understand,
is the fact that in the prosecu-
ton of his aims he has the
close, and at times admittedly
intimate association of such
men as Lawrence Dennis, the
so-called intellectual head of
American fascism, and James
Mcknight, notorious Western
pro-Nazi, who by his own
statement longs for the aSsoci-
alton of such noblemen as
Father Coughlin, Gerald Win
rod, William Dudley Policy and
Edward Holton James," the
first three of these famous

President is Born"
A letter today from the office
of the Mayor, states that his
honor has released a statement
for publicity during the week
when we concentrate upon the
study of the history of our peo-
pie. Last year he was asked for
proclamation calling for the
observation of Crispus Attacks
Day. Through the City Council
a resolution was passed APPROX
ing of the proclamation. This
year a similar resolution has
passed the City Council and it
is to be hoped that the citizens
will observe in fitting manner
the memory of Attacks and
share in the celebration of Race

York has done should be done
by every city and village in the
nation. Let's make February a
