COVER. The photograph on our
cover was first published in January
of 1912. 1t appeared a month after
Pearl Harbor and slnbolized then
the hope and faith of millions of
Americans facing years of war. We
think it's fitting to print that cover
again as we begin to look forward to
years of peace. For us, now, it SYM
bolizes the millions of Americans
everywhere who are placing their
hope and faith in the worlds leaders
meeting in San Francisco. We pray
they be given the courage, wisdom
and strength to plan lasting peace.

Comparing the CTS treatment OF
the Filipinos with that of the
Filipinos with that of the Arnerl-
can Negro, he said that only occa-
sionally do American soldiers, sail
ors and marines even cast an u1l-
friendly glance at Filipino Off
Ger and that most of them go out
of their way to be friendly to these
natives. Citing an incident in Guam
when he saw a CT from Mississippi
playing with a group of dark-skin-
ned children, White remarked, II
wonder if you'd be as nice to kids
of that color back home?" the CT
Indignantly answered, 'TheSe kids
are not niggerSp
NEGROES USELESS"
He related another occasion when
a officer told his soldiers stories
about his friendly experiences with
natives in several Pacific islands
He then launched into a tribute to
the capacity of the u. S. army to
transform quagmires overnight into
beautiful roads and airstrips. A
Negro soldier passed while the story
was still underway and the white
lieutenant bitterly remarked, those
are soldiers we could well do with
out-they're quite useless" White
commented that the officer had ig-
nored the fact that Negroes had
done much of the building he had
been praising
In regard to the CTS treatment
of Filipino soldiers, the NAACP
head reflects that japanese had
previously told the natives all
about the "zoot suit" riots in Los
Angeles, when Filipino youths were
beaten by mobs, but this propa-
ganda he said had little effect
since American soldiers were SO de-
cent in their regard for the natives.
MUST BE ANSWER
There must be an answer to the
question as to why our CTS admire
and get along smagnificently' with
darkSkinned folks over here and
continue to cling to prejudices
against dark-skinned felloW-soldiers

Vote On Aubrey
Williams Termed
Gauge Of Negro
Placing COP
On The Spot On
The Racial Issue
BY HARRI. McALPIN

WASHINGTON, d. C.-NNP)--
The fight for confirmation OF Au-
brey Williams as administrator OF
the Rural Identification Admins
tration is a good guage OF the sim
certify of Republican Senators on
the race issue.
Aubrey Williams is former adj
ministrator of the National Youth
Administration. AS head OF that
agency, he was responsible for the
policies which gave to Negro youth
in many parts of the country their
first chance for real industrial ed
ucation which has fitted them TO
take role in the war effort OF
their country in positions other
than mental or unskilled.
HITS TORIES
AS a progressive, liberal South
erner, Aubrey Williams wrote two
books. One was a lambast of South
ern Tories in Congress. The other
was a prediction of "a new awak-
ening in the South where the Ne
gro has been pilloried for profit"
These two books are being used
as weapons against Williams by
Southern Senators who oppose his
confirmation to the job for which
he has been nominated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
In addition, he is being attacked
for his favorable attitude toward a
permanent FEPC with enforcement
powers and for his fortnight stand
against policies and practices Of
segregation and discrimination.
WATCH REPUBLICANS
Backing up the Southern reac-
tionaries In the fight against Will
liams are Republican Senators Taft
(Ohio), Bushfield Is. DakD and
Butler (Nebraska).
Other Republicans in the Senate
are inclined to follow the lead Of
these men. Taft is chairman of the
Senate Republican Steering Com.
mittee. They are attempting t.
camouflage the fight against Will.
Jams in a cloak of opposition to hi!
New Deal theories
There can be no mistaking th'
| fact, however, that the opposition
to Williams is based on his liberia
views concerning race. The Repub-
licans who oppose him, therefore
place themselves and their party in
the same position as the Southern
element which has taken exception
to Williams because of his racial
liberalism.
SOME DOUBTFUL
Still carried in the doubtful col
umn on Williams confirmation are
Republican Senators Vandenberg
and Ferguson of Michigan, Burton
of Ohio, Austin of Vermont, and
-Tobey of New Hampshire.
Voting against Williams confirm
alton in the Agriculture Committee
were Republican Senators Capper
of Kansas, Shipstead of Minnesota,
Bushfield of South Dakota, Butler
of Nebraska, Wilson of Iowa, Cor
don of Oregon, and Willis of IN
diana.
The vote on Williams is schedul-
ed to follow Immediately after dis
position of manpower legislation in
the Senate.

pound for use in the laundry. kitch-

necessary when you use it on pots
and pans, woodwork, enamelware
and painted walls. Explicit direc-
tions are given on the package for
cleaning each article and although
the general method is the same, the
amount Of powder used, the method
Of applying and rinsing differs. For
example, to soak clothes, dissolve
one teaspoon of the product in each
gallon Of warm water used. To wash
clothes, the same amount of cleaner
is used, but hot water Is necessary.
If you want more suds, little soap
may be added, but it is not essential.
Clothes are washed and rinsed as
usual. The cleaner is said to con-
tain no fats or filler and Is very
