We were disappointed when VIC
read the other day that Eric John
ston had accepted the position Of
fered him, that of becoming the
car of the movie industry, sue
ceeding Will Hayes. The position

We are disappointed because we
believe Eric johnson is an excep-
tlonally endowed man, with a bril-
liant mind and the ability to ac-
compllsh great good in public serv-
Ice. He has secured outstanding re-
suits as president of the U. S. Cham
Der Of Commerce. As he has demon
strated, he could be powerful
force. for right and justice in the
controversies that develop between
industry and labor. If he had chosen
to 60 into political life, he unques-
tionably could have gone far and
could have been of great service to
the nation
There is beyond doubt a field
for his talents in the movie indus
try. There he will find a-plenty that
needs correction. Many things in
pictures are baneful. A man of his
talents should be able to exert a
stupendous influence in that field.
But he will be missed in public
lie That IS where he should have
remained
Here's note for the farmer who
encourages initiation by asking over

town. Four hundred and fifty three

in the crash that followed the in

Here's a note for the business man
who makes extra profit in over
charges here and there. One hun
dred and ten thousand firms went
bankrupt as result of the first
world wars initiation. And here's
note for the worker who sees no
harm in paying more to get what he
wants. Five and one-half million
workers lost their jobs when the
crash came after the last wars in

should be And we should do our

For the record: Negroes have
gone into the army, the navy, the
air force, the marines, and the
coast guard, and have performed
every task assigned to them. 1t
was Negro labor that built the
world-famed Ledo Road. 1t is Ne
gro labor that is responsible for
most of the construction on the air
fields from which successful at
tempts were launched to drive the
Japanese from Burma. Negroes
built airfields and roads and main
tanned them all the way from
Alaska to Calcutta, all the way
from Normandy deep into the heart
of Germany. Some fought and are
still fighting and losing their lives
in the air, on the water and on the
ground. Some are still driving
trucks on long 24-hour schedules,
thankless jobs with no relief in
sight. All for what? To be in
