Invites Public
to Honor Memory
of War Dead

Editor: This year as we ap-
proach Memorial Day, a deeper
significance should be felt by all
of us. The parents of the boys
and girls today who, "are off to
the seven seas" can well recollect
when our ever venerated parents
took US to the cemetery Memorial
Park to decorate the graves of our
departed loved ones on Decoration
Day. The chore well done, we
turned it into a mild form of
visiting our neighbors. Covering
distance was not so easy in those
days.
The casualty list was not so
large, and the wounds of the Ma
ton were about healed. The Span
ish-American War came. Not
many of our loved ones were killed
during that war, however, the Vet
Grams of the Spanish-American
War took up the torch and carried
on for the old G. A. R. Boys.
World War I arrived. A size
able number of buddies went West.
The Great American Legion con-
ceives its duty to be" the render
ing of service to the community,
State, and Nation. Being the
youngest of the Veteran organiza-
ton, we have sought to bear the
brunt of conducting a Memorial
Day program. We, therefore, in
vite each and every one of you to
turn out with Leslie Lawrence Post
No. 497 of the American Legion of
the 4th District, Department of
Minnesota, Sunday afternoon, May
%, at 3 p. M, at Halle @. Brown
Community House, st. Paul, and
thereby render proper respect and
honor to our heroes and heroines
who have fallen and today sleep
somewhere on foreign soil, or rest
in peace in a deep sea grave. All
patriotic organizations please take
notice.

Many Big Issues on Agenda
The situation is dangerous. At a
time when such momentous issues
as the poll tax, the white demo-
cratic primary, the question of
equality for Negroes in the armed
forces, the question of economic
and social equality are limelighted
before the public and kept there
through the intensified lobbying of
our national leaders, led by the
NAACP, the whole fight seems in
danger of disintegration because
of its shaky foundations.
The constant reiteration of the
idea that white people hate Ne
groes, that all of them are out to
exploit the black man, that the
Negro because of his long period
in American slavery, is entitled
to every advantage on the scene
today, whether or not he is pre-
pared to receive such advantages,
is having harmful effects every
where.
In New York Negroes are so
tensed on the question that every
little act of a white person is liza
BILE to be interpreted as gesture
of prejudice or of carrying the i'm
plication of white superiority. Ne
gro children are Influenced by the
propaganda to the point where
many of them quit school, refuse
to apply for jobs they can have at
the asking because of belief that
the whole world is against them
because they are colored.
NAACP Should Follow Through
In light of these things, it does
seem strange indeed that an or
ganization of the scope, power and
influence of the NAACP hasn't
stopped to consider the tackling of
this problem which is just as i'm
portant, if not more so, than the
concentrated business of winning
more and more rights" It doesn't
mean a thing if the Negro is al
lowed to vote in the Texas white
democracy primary if he doesn't
know how to vote or what he is
voting for. It is ruinous to win a
civil rights case involving restau-
rant or department store and then
allow the effort to be torn down by
ignorant, unthinking Negroes who
haven't been taught the elements
of common decency and courtesy.
Are the thousands of Negro
masses in the South who are forced
to ride Jim Crow on the various
trains operating in Dixie prepared
to go into the parlor car, lounge,
etc.? It's all well and good to
advance the old argument that
their money is as good as anyone
else's, but it's another thing to
soberly analyze the problem and
come to the conclusion that this
method of theorizing many times
plays right into the hands of the
Bilbos and the Rankins.
Our most powerful organization
today is the NAACP. It is dealing
with everyday problems confront
ing the Negro. It is close to the
people, to the situations affecting
them. Upon it should fall the re-
sponsibility Of broad education in
the right way to appreciate what it
is doing to win better things for US
all. But this is the one problem
they haven't touched. There isn't
as much in telling a man what is
wrong with him as there is in
telling him what the other man is
doing to him.

Though many people hiss 'em,
While it is tough to be Hebrew,
Anti-Negro's worse than ant-Semitism.
I wish were Chinese coolie,
Though folks don't let him go far,
He's privileged beyond yours truly,
And not consigned to jim crow car.

A Moslem or Untouchable,

Places where they're much able.
I wish were American Indian,
