Segregation: It's Vicious
Purpose

Segregation is the special
American means of branding
colored Americans as the in
feriors of interiors in public
status.

for colored people, the former
Slaves-equality of citizen

the denial of presence and Of
service in places opened for
public patronage as the one
great way to brand colored

race and make them forever
the scorn of civil society.
EFT is a very effective meas
ure. Colored people are trail

Powerful

Report Is Made Regarding
Defense Of Northldnd-
Permanent Peace
BY G. Nj. ARCHBOLD
Chairman, Department National
Defense Committee

The past year has passed rapid
ly with all posts contributing
greatly to local defense projects
To save time National Headquar-
tiers was requested to mail all lit
erature on National Defense direct
to each Alaskan post. All posts
have aided in civilian defense and
in many instances Legionnaires
have headed up this activity in
their community.
Since the Japs on Attu were
liquidated and those on Kiska
abandoned this base in the face OF
overwhelming naval, aerial and land
forces, all Alaskans have rested
easier. We hope that our well or
ganized Civilian Defense Units
never have to demonstrate how
efficiently they could operate.
Alaska as a whole is rapidly de-
veloping as a powerful fortress with
strategically located naval bases
army posts and air bases and may
be used as a springboard for an
invasion OF the Jap homeland it

To promote peace and good will on
earth;
To safeguard and transmit to pos
terity the principles of Justice,
Freedom and Democracy;
To consecrate and sanctify our
comradeship by our devotion to
mutual helpfulness
The cardinal purposes of the
American Legion are the rehabilita-
ton of our disabled comrades; the
care of the dependents of those
who have answered the final call
and of those who are now suffer
ing the ravages of wounds, disease
and want; rightful education OF
the children of our country, and
devoted service to the community

Trying to live up to these high
ideals held ever before us, it is

say, I am member of The Am

of industrial targets will have re-
duced the working classes to such
an extent that the home islands
will be large enough for all Jap
anese Nationals.
To keep prepared for any emer-
gency we should continue our pro-
gram of universal military train
ing for years to come so that all
our physically fit young men will
have military training.
No More Scrappng
We should never again consent to
the scrapping of our Navy or any
limitation of ornaments unless all
Nations on this Earth agree to
maintaining and supporting an In
ternational police force. In such
case the combined Navies of the
United States, Great Britain and
Russia should be sufficient to
maintain the freedom of the seas.
All other navies as such should be
scrapped completely The Axis
Powers should not be permitted to
retain any naval vessels of any
size Or type other than necessary
small Coast Guard vessels. They
should have nc Army nor Air Force.

to play an important part in the
downfall of the Japanese Empire.
Peace Foundation
With victory now in sight and
probably a lot closer than many
of us realize, it is high time that
we should be laying firm founda-
tons for lasting peace.
The people of the United States
must realize that to keep a lasting
and permanent peace, we must
keep large Army, Navy and Air
Force ready to enforce the clauses
iof the Peace Treaty ending World
War II.
Alaska is destined to always be
an important barrier against at
tack and must be developed both
industrially and agrioulturally to
support a large population. Our
Aleutian Islands area must be
maintained as a huge Military and
Naval Reservation with permanent
garrisons. The many mandateo
Pacific Islands now being taken
from the Japs, should remain as
possessions of the United States
with many naval and air bases de-
veloped and garrisoned.

He played in the Davis Cup matches

out TO complete his trip around the

his desire for solitude was due TO

he was merely looking for adventure.

But Gerbault didn't want TO be a
