By the Way
BETH BLAINE

For more than two years Mrs.
Robert LIE Baron known profess
sionally as Peggy lie Baron) has
given unstin Singly of her time
and talent to helping service
men. Her ewn personal theory
is that even more important
than providing entertainment
for the men, is bringing out
their own particular talents
showing them how to entertain
each other and themselves. And
SO far it's working just the way
Mrs. LIE Baron thought it would.
A singer of considerable ability,
Mrs. lie Baron has an impressive
background of musical and dra-
matte education and stage ex-
perience. When her husband
came to Washington as dollar
a-year man and saw service on
the, War Production Board, she
naturally accompanied him, and
wanting very much to do volun-
teer war work she chose the field
with which she was most famil-
lar and for which she was best
suited-the entertainment field.
She sang at one of the first of
the Saturday night dances at St.
Margaret's Episcopal Church.
Following that she sang at the
Stage Door Canteen, at various
USO Clubs, at Home Hospitality
parties, at the YWCA, at State
society parties under the auspices
of the Red Cross during War
Fund drives, at various hospitals,
always encouraging the boys to
give programs of their own
and to join in her program. So
pleased was the Navy Depart
ment with her work at the Naval
Hospital that they assigned their
own special pianist to her

STATE OF MAINE
GOES REPUBLICAN
(bv Arthnr B. McCnzrl

NEW YORK The smashing Re
publican victory in Maine last week,
is an accurate barometer of the tenn
perature of the rest of the country,
editorial research reports show. Al
though the state is a traditional Re
publican bailiwick, the Maine vote
over the last twenty years has accur-
ately shown the way the rest Of the
Nation would go whenever the Repub
lican vote for Congress in September
exceeded go percent. In these TWEEN
ty vars, whenever the Rpublicans
went above go percent, they always
followed through with a Republican
Presidential victory in November.
However, when the Republican
vote for Congress in Maine dropped
below 60 percent, the Democrats won
the Presidential election in Novem-
Der. This happened in 1882, 1886
and II 1910, when Maine voted Re-
publican for Congress respectively
48, 81 and SO percent, and Mr.. Roose
welt won the election in November.

1.-THE NEGRO

BY DAN GARDNER

THE NEGRO
DISILLUSIONED' .....
The great liberals Of the white
South-Lillian Smith, Frank Graham
Virg;nius Dabney, Mark Ethridge
Jonathan Daniels, Ralph Gill anC
others have a mighty task cut on
for them in convincing the rest Of
their fellow whites that true dem
ocracv does not lie in subjugation OF
his black brother. They have 2
monumental job in changing whole
viewpoints to raise the millions OF
Negroes throughout the South to a
level where they are considered as
and treated like men and women, e.
quail with the whites save for their
color.
This almost impossible task which
the Smiths, Grahams, Dabneys, Eth
ridges and others have assumed is
made whit it is by the evil work of
a comparative few whites who are
thoroughly convinced hat White
Supremacy is the key to the white
mans dominance of the world and
particularly of the Negro.
IN ALTERNATIVE
LEdVE SOUTH. .....
When millions of minds are sus,
sceptible to vicious, insidious anti
Negro hate propaganda as are the
average whites of the South, the
situation appears hopeless and gives
rise to suggestions that the Negro
leave the South enmasse for other
sections of the country where at
least he might he regarded as a hu-
man being. The constant preaching
of doctrines that portray the Negro
as Sub-human, as more or less a
ward of the white man has its eff
feet or every white man, regardless
of his intellect or his understanding.
Birth of a Nation, THE Clans
man. and other books and moving
pictures perpetuating the theory of
white supremacy have influenced
millions in their attitude toward the
Negro, thus making the position Of
the Smiths, the Grahams, Dabneys,
Ethridges and ellis all the more diff
ficuit.
As an example of this, | am quot
ing from the latest diatribe hat i:
designed to create more disunity
hatred and confusion among Amer
lean people. Issued by the Crusader
Publishing Co., at Childersburg, Al
abama, the four page pamphlet i,
entitled, THE Negro Disillusioned'
and is by A Southern White

1t has been reported that thous-
ands upon thousands Of the pamph.
lets have been scattered through Out
the South. The result can be seer
