Low Education
Is Blamed By
War Secretary
nv ERNEST f. JOHNSON

WASHINGTON CAMP Low
er educational standards among
Negro inductees: and their IN
ability to master efficiently the
technioues of modern weapons, Is
attributed by War Sec, Stimson as
reasons why the war department
has broken up Negro combat
units into labor battalions after
months of training cOmbatants.
Stimson also answered the ques-
ton of sending Negro troops
overseas by stating it as the gen
eral policy" to maintain the same
ratio between Negro and Wllte
troops overseas as exist in the
army as a whole" He m d no
differentiation between the types
of overseas troops now abroad, bur
pointed to the impracticability OF
a uniform ratio in all branches OF
service.
ANSWER TO FISH
The Secretary's detailed state
ment was contained in his reply
to Rep Hamilton Fish, Republican
of New York. who on October /,
had inquired of him the depart
ment's policies regarding those
matters of unit changes and over
seas duty. The Stimson reply was
placed in the record last Wednes-
day when the congressman ad-
hnIIcp
Not only did Stimson assure
Rep. Fish of his correctness in
saving that the 930th and 931St
Field Artillery battalions, form
erly part of Chicagos 184th in
fantry, had been broken up into
labor units, but he added that The
! unsatisfactory record of these men
was responsible for the changes.
Stimson said, however, that the
need for more service units tnan
had been originally contemplated
has compelled the conversion of
MANY white outfits as well.
ABILITY CONSIDERED
I'm converting combat units to
service units, the war depart
ment's selection of units to be
converted has been solely on the
relative abilities, capabilities, and
. status of training of the personnel
in the units available for CONVEX
sion," he wrote Fish. at so hap
pens that relatively large Der
| centage of the Negroes indicted in
| the army have fallen within the
lower educational classifications
! and many of the Negro uits ac-
cordingly have been unable to
master efficiently the techniques
4 of modern weapons"
These conversions, he said, cave
| been made among men overseas
as well as at home. Negro and
white, and that this will be
necessary in the future as circttm-
stances dictate" He denied that
any policy to race" or that the de-
partment is deliberately attempt
ing to avoid sending overseas, OF
to keep out of combat, troops of
the Negro or any other race
Fish Immediately challenged Ger
tain of the StimSon statements, re-
minding that during World War l
Negro combat soldiers were in the
front lines within the first year
after the declaration of hostilities
and served continuously as fight
| ers.
He charged the Secretary with
evading a specific question as 70
whether Or not the fully-eQuipped
oath infantry regiment has been
performing service and dock Gu
ties while awaiting possible
assignment to combat, although
! the unit has been in the South
Pacific for 81 months.

DELINQUENT PARENTS
(Christian Science Monitor)

New York City is plowing new ground
with its special classes for delinquent
parents" announced last week This
delves at the problem of badly behaved
children nearer its roots than most meth
ods do.
A woman widely known for her sue
cessful work with problem children
declared recently that there We're no de-
linouant children, but only delinquent
parents. Her view comedies with that
cf nearly all workers in this field. But
parents are usually eager to learn.
The Chinese have always held parents
responsible for the misbehavior of chill
dren. Chinese-American children ap-
pearng in New York City courts average
only two in ten years.
This new program which the New
York 18th Precinct committee for the
Physical and Moral Welfare of Children
has inaugurated is surely built on a
sound basis. If the courts cooperate by
ordering parents of delinquent children
TO attend, the experiment may be emu
lated elsewhere

You may we'll watch for the
emergenoe of something that might
be called THE New Peace as sue
cessor to The New Deal"
Preside.l5 Roosevelt. in his now
famous aside to Dilworth Lupton
of the Cleveland Press, just before
Christmas. indicated that the New
Deal slogan was outmoded and that
something like Win the war
would be more appropriate. "A
month later Vice President Wallace
told the Democratic jackson Day
dinner audience that the New Deal
was not dead.
All the evidence would seem TO
indicate that. Henry is right, as a
look at the record of the last Few
weeks will shcW.
When the President was allegor-
ically amplifying on his own views
about how old Doctor New Deal
had called in young Doctor Win
the-War to cure a sick country, ne
exclaimed that although the post
war program had not been settled
on at all-except IN generalitles--lt
was clear that plans must be maze
now for an expanded economy
which will result in more security
more employment, more recreation,
more education, more health and
better housing for all, sc that the
conditions of 1882 would not re-
turn again.

THINGS TO COME
(Omaha World HERALD

The new flying boat Mars affords a
glimpse at the shape of things to come.
1t is another step in the development OF
the supercolossal in the realm of aerial
navigation.
Public interest in the ship attaches
not to any new principle of aerodynam-
les which may be embodied IN 1t but TO
the fact that the more than 10000 pounds
of cargo it carried to Honolulu is the
heaviest load ever so transported and
was delivered in the quickest time. 1t
is not so much a new thing under the
sun as it is a growth toward the goal OF
bigness which aviation engineers have
long discussed as practical possibility.
Although built for military use, its
value is not limited to military employ
ment A cargo rather than combat
craft it is adapted to peace-time require
ments as we'll as to war. Cargo is cargo,
whether for soldiers or civilians. The
new ship should therefore fit we'll in
the program of postwar aviation with
no reconversion problem involved.

BETTER LATE THAN
NEVER, Mr.. DOUGHTON

Chairman Doughton of the House
Ways and Means Committee, that body
which passes on all revenue raising
measures. since the Constitution pro-
vides that such measures must originate
in the house-comes forth with the
promise of speedy simplifying of in
come tax returns Of course it is too
late to help in the forthcoming reports
on 1943 taxes which are due in fifteen
days: but every little bit helps and per-
haps the congress will make the aid
available for the 1914 estimates which
have been scheduled for April Is.
We suggest that Doughton keep in
mind (and we are not trying to be fun
N.Y. that it should be simple to change
what now is simply awful to something
awfully simple.
What we can't understand is why con-
gress overlooked sugar-coating the tax
bill by removing every possible impedi
ment in making out the returns.
One reason the House is given the
power to initiate revenue measures is
that body is supposed to be closer to
the people. The present difficult tax
return certainly is not something to
endear the Lower House to the people
and it is time that barrier be removed
Go to it Mr. Doughton, bravo and
cheerio and good luck. (And keep clear

genthau's domain).

RUSSIA BATTERS WAY TOWARD
FINN. POLAND PEACE

With Russia hammering away at Fin
land by air and with her armies follow
ing closely in the wake, Finland rapidly
is being put in the position of peace
supplicant. And she may not have much
choice as to terms.
Similarly Russia is approaching a
Polish peace the hard way for Poland.
These events further indicate Staln's
program of going ahead and getting
what he. wants after he definitely has
made up his mind what he wants.
In the meantime Britain still is trail
ing along and temporizing with the Po-
lish government in exile and the United
States stands by helpless to lift fin
ger to come to poor Finland's' aid.
Gone are the rosy passages sent to Fin
land from Washington each and every

If Britain and the United States do

her part of the war won but will have
completed her peace plans before the
