The Michigan chronicle. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1936-current, 1945-07-21

How can we pin this dream down and make the
miracles of which we have heard really come to
pass" 1t is cnch that tomorrow will be no diff
ferent from the past unless we plan and act now
to make it different
Walter Reuther in a new pamphlet called "Are
War Plants Expendable?" puts the question before
America this way: Shall we 'reconvert to an i'm
possible normally surrendering again to the old
cycle of boom and bust, feast and famine?" In an
Swering this question, Mr.. Reuther makes an elo-
quent plea for the full utilization of war plants
which seem now destined to the scrap heap.
We believe that Mr.. Reuther has put his finger
upon the key to full employment. He outlines a
program for the conversion of government-owned
war plants to the mass production OF modern rail
road equipment and ow-cost housing" He insists
that the billions of dollars that have been sunk in
plants and industrial facilities to win this war must
be used to provide jobs and goods to win the peace
The vast needs of the American people and the
impoverished peoples of other lands are tremen-
dous challenge to American industry. If private
capital, bent on reaping profits and profits alone
refuses to accept this challenge, Mr. Reuther insists
that the government should. He points to the sue
cess of the government-owned Tennessee Valley
Authority to illustrate his contention.
While the specific proposals of Mr.. Reuther are
open to debate, we believe that his main argument
for full utilization of war plants and facilities which
now being written off as dependable deserves
widespread support. We shall not have full employ
ment unless our industrial resources developed in
this war period are reconverted to meet the needs
of the American people. And without full employ
ment, the postwar will be full of strife; we shall live
IN squaor and insecurity will hound us again
We can make our dreams of the future come
true. America has the intelligence and the imagin-
alton necessary to do the job AS Mr.. Reuther
argues: 1T is easy to drift into unemployment and
scarcity Postwar abundance and jobs for all, how
ever, demand concerted effort and planning now
Halfway measures did not meet the problems of
war They will not meet the problems of peace"
The Michigan chronicle. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1936-current, 1945-07-21
AN ODD FRATERNITY

new organization called the Military Order
of the Purple Heart was under fire this week for
refusing the application of Negro holder of the
Purple Heart award. 1t seems that the coored SOL
der applied for membership in Washington at the
Mt. Vernon Chapter of the organization He re-
ceived the following letter from the chapter:
when l saw your application with name and
address, l felt sure that you were COLORED vet
and therefore NOT eligible to membership in the
Mt. Vernon Chapter, because it was thought best
not to try to mix white and colored PHI. veterans
in the same outfit
THE policy of the MOP.H., as | understand
it. is to have separate chapters, one for white and
one for coored. In other words, coored holders OF
the Purple Heart medal should organize chapter
of their own within the MO.P.H organization"
The wound inflicted by this letter was, no doubt,
Just as painful as the wound for which this colored
soldier received the Purple Heart. Having risked
his life for America and the ideals for which 1t
stands, our colored hero is given cause to wonder
what his suffering really accomplished The Military
Order Of the Purple Heart assured him that the
color line in wise affected by his courage or
his suffering Such phony patriotism can bear only
evil fruit.

A NARROW ESCAPE

Despite all the skullduggery and fbusterlng
of the fuzzy-brained Senators and Representatives
from the cotton country the Congress has given the
Fair EMPLOYMENT Practices Committee new lease
on life To be sure the FEPC got only half of the
funds needed for its operation but can be thank
full that there were enough true democrats IN the
Congress to save It's life.
1t is important to note that the enemies of the
FEPC were found in both parties, Democrats and
Republicans The Southern bloc could not operate
successfully without support from their torymind-
ed Republican friends AS long as this reactionary
alliance between North and South exists in the Con-
gress liberal measures will be fought to death.
Nevertheless, the scandalous behavior of the
Southern bloc makes it clearer than ever that hber-
ais have got to do job in Dixie BY and large the
South remains enemy territory where democracy
is fought with a strange fanaticism. The desper-
alton of the white supremacists suggests that
crisis is approaching in Dixie.
~ We regard the Japanese soldiers worship of
his Emperor as form of insanity, but in the South
we have its counterpart. There a white skin is
worshiped with idolatry. This colOr-nsanlty Is
contagious disease which threatens the well-belng
of the whole nation 1t has rendered the South i'm
potent for centuries, and few Southern liberals
are beginning to fearts effect upon themselves and
the whole American people.
A revolt against this coor-madness is taking
root among the reconstructed Southerners 1t is our
hope that these Southern liberals get whatever en-
enlargement and help they need to bring the mes
sage of democracy to their deranged brethren. vi
course, some Southerners like Bilbo Eastland and
Rankin are too mad for any mental therapy For
them we can only recommend straight jacket and
padded cell.

NAACP Asks
Action Against
Colonel SeIwuy

CINCINNATI. O.-Members of
the NAACP board of directors. at
their July meeting here voted
unanimously TO request the War
Department TO investigate and
take whatever appropriate action
is indicated against Col. Robert
Selway. former commander Of
the 477th Bombardment Group,
for issuing an order violating a
War Department directive ban
ming discrimination. Col. Selwsy's
order resulted in the original ar
rest of l0l Negro officers at Free
man Field. for entering a white
officers club.
The NAACP's formal demand
now being drafted for presentation
to the War Department will cite
excerpts from the transcript OF
testimony from the courts-martial
OF Its Marsden Thompson Jr.,
and Shirley B. Clinton, recently
acquitted Of charges Of violating
the illegal order issued by Col.
Selwsy.
Testimony in the case Of the
Negro officers who were held un-
der arrest for 81 days, shows fur
Their that Col. Selwsy repudiated
his own statements made earlier
regarding the directive issued.
The NAACP will press vigorous
~ the demand for punishment Of
this officer.

A DREAM ON THE LOOSE

Four-coor advertisements in the slick maya
zines have given US looksee into the future, fu-
ture filled with miracles created in laboratories, in
foundres and factories. To read the catchy phrases
Of these advertisements, is led to believe that
when the last Jap has joined his ancestors all of
Gods Chillun,' on the Allied side, are going to
fall heir to a mighty fine and fancy future. To-
morrow is dangling before our eyes like glitterng
diamond.
On the front pages of our newspapers, however,
there is different story. Big industriasts tell us
that Willow Run and 16 billion dollars worth of war
plants are dependable, that 60 million jobs in the
postwar will not be forthcoming that unemploy-
ment is as certain as death and taxes. Indeed those
national leaders who insist that must have full
employment in the postwar are attacked and rdi-
culed as crackpots by our business giants.
AS more and more plants close down. the truth
is beginning to sink in. Our fancy future becomes
dream on the loose A question arises in our minds

THE NEGRO IN THE
ARMED FORCES"

This short 1T pages of texO
book by Lieut. Commander Sey-
mour J. Schoenfeld is an excellent
presentation OF the Negros role in
our armed forces from the Revolu-
ton to- the present war. In addi-
ton II states-in clear. unacceptable
terms what should be done in order
70 use our manpower resources to
the fullest and 10 impress the
people Of Asia. Africa and Latin
America with the sincerity OF our
domestic ideals.
Commander Schoenfeld points
out that the Revolutionary War
was the only one in the history Of
this country when the Negro was
not placed in segregated military
units. Even armies raised in the
South were not segregated and al
though some states North and
South had separate Negro units.
there were also mixed units from
those states as we'll II is especially
interesting 10 note that until 1920
The Navy, maintained
policy Of permitting mixed
crews aboard its ships with colored
men eligible for all ratings
The author states that up to the
present In each conflict in which
the nation was engaged. IL was
only when the need for man
power was desperate that Negro
resources were utilized. by the
end Of the Civil War approxi-
mately one-tenth of the Union
soldiers were Negroes" Com
mander Schoenfeld writes, and
three times this number were
engaged in associated military
endeavors."
The author writes from a back
ground OF four years experience in
the naval service on the present
state Of affairs as regards the Ne
gro service man. He points out the
gains which have been made in the
army and navy by Negroes and
notes that Negroes and whites have
served together tremendously in
different shore stations, and in
mixed crews where colored sailors
are being trained by experienced
white crews. Commander Schoen-
field concludes: ut has been said
! that there are no atheists in fox
holes II is eoeally true that Jim
crow never rides landing craft
( 10 an enemy beach
The recommendations made nv
the author as To improvements
! that could he made under present
military policies are important.
Among them are:
l. Increased quotas Of Negroes
| In the various technical and com
bat branches Of the services.
2. An indeetrinatien course 10
correct many Of the erroneous
ideas about Negroes which are
prevalent.
3. Action by military authori-
ties against segregation Of blood
plasma by the Red Cross. The
author states that none Of the
plasma he has seen used was
marked for race
4. Fair application Of military
regulations to all personnel.
Commander J. Scheenfeld be-
lieves that the need to-day Is for
not one mixed unit but as many
as can be formed To do this
would be 10 conserve American
lives as we'll as to impress col
ored peoples the world over with
American democracy.
This short book presents the
whole picture OF the Negroes fight
against segregation in the armed
forces. II does not neglect the
( forces at work in civilian life
against the Negroes nor the hsndi-
caps which the Negro must over
come. AS Secretary Of Com
merce Henry A. Wallace has writ.
