GOOD CONDUCT
PROGRAM VERY
IMPORTANT MOVE
By Sidney Williams

I wonder what other practical
means might be used to bring about
a keener understanding among
larger number of people of the fact
that poor conduct is a serious liza
bility to any group. Accordingly
for a group that already has two
strikes against it, poor conduct in
the form of boisterousness, fight
ing, or the use of vile language is
nothing short of tragic. Too much
is at stake for US to pass over the
issue slightly. Frequently jobs,
promotions and other important
aspects of what we have come to
refer to as "the Indignation of
Negro workers" are adversely in
fiuenced by the conduct of few of
our thoughtless individuals.
Some of our servicemen who
have been in the European and
North African Theaters of war will
soon be coming home bringing with
them many little habits Of the peo-
pie among whom they have been
living for one, two, and three years.
1t is sincerely hoped that the fine
manners and politeness for which
the British are we'll known and the
charm so often found in the French
speaking world will be permanent
acquisitions of everyone of them.
America could use an infusion of
these customs in and among all
types of her sons. 1t would be most
desirable for the families and
friends of the returning soldiers to
adopt these habits as speedily as
possible; for this is one very con-
structive way they can help their
servicemen in readjusting to
civilian life. eve might note here
that soldiers wear neckties when
appearing in public, so we men in
civilian life can remember this fact
in planning our own street attire.)
Still on the question of conduct
there is much that we as individuals

New York.-Tall, tan and hand
some-a 6 #. 3 in, broad-shoul-
dered, swoon-type young priest met
US smilingly at the station and
asked if we were "Going My Way"
We were a bit taken back because
we had travelled with expectations
of meeting a be-spectacled recluse,
a picture of delicate piety.
We travelled from New York
down through the Jersey meadows
to Asbury Park to interview the
Rev. Alexander Leedie, assistant
pastor of Asbury Parks St. Peter
Claver Church. Our curiosity had
been aroused by rather militant
statements he and Monsignor Cam
pion had made to the Brooklyn In
terracial Council, on Palm Sunday.
Curious to know whether the
Catholic church has determined to
go all out to smash racial bigotry
and prejudice, and whether the
church places any restrictions upon
Negro priests as to what part they
may play in racial matters, we
sought the answers from one of
Americas few Negro priests, Faith
err Leedie.
At the Palm Sunday meeting,
Monsignor Campion, white pastor
of st. Peter Claver Church in
Brooklyn's Negro section, had de-
clared against "the attitude of the
majority of our citizens to outlaw
100000 of our fellow citizens
and to grudgingly accord them a
sort of secondhand citizenship. d. . {.
The Negro has manifested a love
and devotion to the country and it's
democratic ideals quite out of pro-
portion to the harsh treatment he
has received and is receiving"
Equally impressive was the re-
marks of the Negro priest, Father
Leedie, who said: "While over $780,
900 colored Americans are scat
tered in military posts at home and
abroad, fighting and dying to make
the world safe for democracy, their
loved ones at home are battling
for their rightful share of liberty
and justice for ALL"
Father Leedie said the struggle
to end the fallacy of inequality is
gathering momentum, and noted
the encouraging fact that, cover
100 interracial organizations are
now functioning and striving to
attain the goal of practical racial
equalization"
Father Leedie drove US from the
station down through Asbury Park
to his parish. Like every other city
in America, we knew when We were
nearing our destination. The beau
tiful bright streets of the famous
summer resort suddenly took on a
drab, neglected appearance that
characterizes the Negro and for
eign-born sections. Father Leedie's
parish is located in the very heart
of this second-class citizenship, just
on the border of red light district.
Settled in the study of the small
parish house, we proceeded to

Letters
Thinks We Would
Have Made a

Good Lawyer
Editor: l thank you for publish
ing my letter. l really think you
missed your calling. You would
really make a darn good lawyer
with your evasiveness. Probably
that is a requisite also of good
editor.
believe the implication was
clear in my article, that when the
Republicans join with the hated
Democrats of the South, the Re-
publicans are tainted, but when the
New Dealers join with the hated
Democrats of the South they are
not tainted. While it is true l never
saw any article written by you ex-
tolling the virtues of the Democrats
of the South, it is also true that
never saw any article written by
you condemning them so long as
they voted for, New Deal policies.
And 1 am very glad indeed that
I am not the sort of a Republican
you think I should be. l do not
believe in catering to any class of
people or any group of people for
the purpose of getting their votes.
I leave that sort of cheap dirty poll
tics to the New Deal, which they
have been practicing all down
through the years, often buying
their votes at the expense of the
public treasury in order to perpetu-
ate themselves in office.
It is my belief that often it is
not equal rights these so-called
self-styled minority groups want,
but it is superior rights they are
really after. Witness Reeds article
in your last publication in which
the implication is clear that he real
ly believes that because the SER
geant was a Negro he should not
be subject to Army regulations.
The big problem with the Negro
in my judgment is the color ques-
ton. No doubt some day you will
write an article laying the blame
on the Republicans for this condi-
ton.

I stand in the Jim Crow crowd. I am a Jew

No one denies or challenges my place.
But whenever I see Jim Crow my temples flame
AS though fist had struck with all its might.
The Negro and are one; share his shame.
Even when spared by grace of being white.
We are both surrounded by wall of hate
By ramparts of exclusion few climb

We the hurt and hunted of our time.
In the coored queue meet pair of eyes,
Our chances lock and smile at another.
The buried rivers of affection rise
And the messenger signalling Brother Brother"
Today divided and betrayed.
But like friends who meet in perous enemy lands,
Across the barriers never made
Our eyes unite we join contrasted hands.

with substantial reduction in
production, aluminium is still /
being made in this country at a

time peaks, /. w. Wilson, vice
president, Aluminium Co. Of
America, said today.
During 1914, ever-increasinG
quantities of the metal poured
into new military applications,
he added. Because of its availa-
bility, aluminium was not only
returned 10 those military uses
for which other materials had
been substituted. but was, itself,
substituted in many cases for
other materials less plentiful in
supply.
THE new year should see
growing amounts of aluminium
going into the semi-military and
civilian uses which must be ex-
banded as rapidly as manpower
may be safely diverted 10 their
development.

classification are airplane land
