what has contributed to the infia-

AMONG PERIODS of self-ques-
tioning the United States has had
many occasions for sturdy pride in
this war-pride in the courage of
her men. in the skill of their COM
manders. in the job of production
and mobilization which equipped
and trained men and commanders.
But the development of the major
pattern of the war was slow in un-
folding. 1t required the integra-
ton of armies. navies and air
forces around the globe; the CO.
ordination of the activities of
whole peoples and the focus of in

some conception of the full stature
of America at war can be obtain

is first apparent in the Pacific.
Two years ago the japanese were
tearing the heart out of Asia and
the Indies under the protection of
a fleet that was virtually supreme
in all the vast reaches of sea that
stretch from the eastern shores of
Africa to the west coast of the
Americas. The spine of the Brit
ish and American sea power in
those waters had been broken at
Pearl Harbor and off Malaga, and
the two mightiest navies in the
world, saddled with heavy respon-
sibilities in the Atlantic, were re-
duced to shifts and strategems. to
such desperate ventures as the
gallant and hopeless battles in the
Java Sea. while they hastily manned
their last battlements.
Somehow those battlements were
held-in the Indian Ocean. on the
last toehold in New Guinea. at Mid

Discrimination, Un-American, Says
Southern Daily In Hot Editorial

Durham, n. CA strong edi-
torial in the Durham Morning
Herald. Sept. II, pulled no pun
ches in striking at the fayorite
Social Equality argument
against the creation of perma-
nent FEPC. Declaring such
theories as this, unfair, undemo-
cratic, and American. the edi-
torial pointed out that Equal
opportunity has nothing whatever
to do with social equality'---what-
ever those words mean. Equal
opportunity means just what 1t
says--a chance foor every one &C
cording to his character and abili-
ties, plus equal pay for equal
work. This, and no more, is
what the Fair Employment Prac-
tees Committee has stood for and
does stand for.
Now strong fight 10 ahead if
a permanent FEPC Is not to be
blocked. Hearings in the House
and Senate committee rooms show
that tie Negro is still being dis
eliminated against. lie still does
not get the same pay the white
man gets for the same work, He
IFS still the first to 90 when there

against discrimination, There
are just the old ones. 1t is un-

The Washington Bureau of the
NAACP took up with Paul Y. Nc
Mutt, Chairman of VINO, these
and other cases of segregation
and discrimination in L. S. E. S.
Mr.. MeNutt admitted that the
condition in Columbus, Georgia
still prevailed. The regional and
state directors of VINO have
plans, Mr.. MeNutt said, for re-
modelling the present premises in
order to provide a front entrance
for Negro applicants, but that so
far they have not been able to get
priority on building materials,
MeNutt also admitted to the
NAACP that the d. c. Employ
ment Center is operated on a Sc
gregated basis. He claimed, how
ever, that segregation is only in
force and effect because the APP
preparations Committee of the
House of Representatives had in
stiueted the agency that it would
not give it any money if white
and colored applicants were inte-
grated. This occurred in 1912 when

Capitol Fostered By Southerners

WASHINGTON, D. C. - Near
ly every important industrial cen.
ter in the country has been class'
fled as a labor shortage area and,
therefore, subject to orders from
the War Manpower Commission
which prohibits any employer
from hiring workers except through
the office Of the United States
Employment Service. This power
of u. S. f. s, is largely increas.
ing and is being extended even
beyond the present manpower
shortage. Before returning war
veterans may receive reemploy-
ment rights, or unemployment com
pensation unde, the CT bill of
Rights, registration at the local
United States Employment Office
is required. Further, its power
will in all probability be extend
ed to the 20 million displaced CT
william war workers in the post
war period, for it is safe to as.
sumo that in any effective legis-
lation for post war industrial re-
adjustment, displaced working PEG
pie will be channeled through
these same offices to wait for
new jobs.
With so much potential power
in an agency of government to
determine the opportunities and
conditions under which the aver
age person will earn a living, it
is important to examine its cur
rent racial practices.
In Columbus, Georgia, colored
people who apply to Z. s. L. S.
for jobs are not permitted to ent.
er through the front door but are
required to enter the rear which
can only be approached by the
use of back alley usually fill

Columbus Branch Of the NAACP
has vigorously protested this con,
dition to the local and regional
offices without results. The prac
tice Of the USES in it's Wash
ington office has differed only
in degree from that of Georgia
Prentice Hilburn, a recent gradu-
ate of Howard University Law
School, was told by a Washing
ton employer that he would be
given a position if he could Sc
cure the approval Of the local EN-
ployment office. Mr.. Hilburn
sought t odo this, but made the
fatal mistake Of getting into the
line formed for white applicants.

of that fatal day when the Japs struck in

favorite Flying Fortress, IL demolished

escape to Australia, spend Christmas day
there, and shortly after General Brereton

From there they start ON flight for Davao,
In the Philippines. They see great con-
centration Of ships below them--a Pearl

run, the bombs are clicked out one BY

away" and they turn and speed for home.
