SOLDIER TO SOLDIER

We know too little about what
the men in the front lines must
endure. A wall inevitably rises
between those who have suffered
and those who have only worried.
Brooks Atkinson. New York
writer, in an article in the New
York Times glimpses the intim-
acies of the soldiers heart No to
have those at home appreciate
the disheartening things he must
endure.
Atkinson writes:
Nothing civilian can do at
home for the war compares with
what a soldier has to give out of
himself. For a civilian has q
home to go to every night, where
he enjoys a little privacy or has
some time to himself. He has
time off that he san use as he
pleases. He has never had to
surrender his identity a. an in
dividual. In his wartime life
there is large measure of choice
of friends. food and amusement.
Since the nature of war is
not only dangerous but destruc.
tive, a soldier also lives in an at.
mosphere of varying degrees of
friehtfulness alternating With
boredom. He must alV ays be at
the peak of his form in cruel
competition of death. In the
field he lives like bounded ami
NAL, in misery without civilized
comforts-everything impromptu
and temporary. Since he sees
comrades dying and knows that
he may die himself. be has to
give himself to war without res.
ervation in self-defense. He is
absorbed in it. If he had to live
this way in his own country. he
would at least be fighting for
something he could see. His feet
would be on ground he loves.
But even if he is a good inter-
nationalist. which is highly un-
likely, he can hardly understand
in his bones why he is pittinR his i

THE RANKIN AFFAIR

Manv times in these columns we have found it
necessary to denounce slick, evil old John Rankin
of Mississippi who can always be counted upon to
disgrace the u S. Congress. Once more we wish to
call public attention to Rankin deed. Of all the
foul things that the Mssissipian has said and DONE
his latest act is the most dangerous.
Mr. Rankin became enraged over the sharp
criticism of the Veterans Administration and It's
boss, General Hines which was contained in series
of articles by Albert Deutsch of the newspaper PM
The CONGRESSMAN and General Hines are apparently
old cronies and the stories of Deutsch were most un
flattering to the Veterans Administration. The
liberal New York daily PM has been frequently de-
nounced by Mr. Rankin long before the publication
of the expose Of the rotten conditions IN the Vet
Grams organization.
When Mr. Deutsch, several days ago, appeared
before a Congressional committee to tell directly
what he had learned of the Veterans Admlnlstra-
ton. Congressman Rankin saw his opportunity he
asked Reporter Deutsch to reveal the names OF the
people inside the Veterans Administration who had
given him some pertinent information. This Mr..
Deutsch refused to do because he had obtained the
information by pledging to keep their names secret
Because Mr.. Deutsch refused to break his
pledge and violate the confidence of persons IN
yolved. Congressman Rankin forced the Committee
to cite the Pm reporter as Delng IN contempt VI No-
gress. House action on this might mean a jail
sentence for the reporter 1t is obvious that if Con-
gresham Rankin is sustained in this the nations
Press can no longer be called free.

can journalism that a reporter may keep conf
Dental news sources confidential. If this were not
So corruption in government could not be exposed,
for those who might give important facts to the
press would inevitably face reprisals. Mr.. Deutsch
. has chosen to do what any honest reporter would
do. To violate the pledge he made would subject
his informants to certain reprisals.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Last week committee of publishers represent
ing the Negro Newspaper Publishers Association
called upon the President of the United States at
the White House and urged his active support in
behalf of better deal for the Negro people now
and in the postwar.
Specifically the Publishers urged the President
to give administration support to the fight to create
a permanent FEPC, to abolish the poll tax to re-
organize the Veterans Administration and to crack
down on those who deny Negroes the right to par
tcipate in primary elections in the South. These
were four points of larger program which the
publishers are seeking to carry out in the near
future.
We are living at crucial period today with
war half-won and machinery for world peace half
begun 1t is fitting that the President give con-
sideration to factors which will always be import
ant to the progress of nation square deal for
the Negro minority in the postwar is the best guar
antee all other Americans can have that this country
will remain strong and inspiring democracy
When minorites are abused and this abuse is
unheeded by government, those who consider them
selves inthe majority have real cause for alarm.
Democracy like a chain is no stronger than its
weakest link When Negroes get justice and are
free to exercise their rights of citizenship all others
in America may be sure that their own rights are
safe Democracy must work for everybody or the
time will surely when it will work for nobody

PROBE WELCOMED

The decision of the Fair Employment Practice
Committee to investigate complaints of discrimina-
ton against the Teamsters Union in Detroit at a
hearing here on June is good news. 1t has been
charged repeatedly that Negroes cannot get jobs as
truck drivers for companies which have contracts
with the Transfers Union Such condition would
be ntolerable at any time, but, during this period
when the nation is at war, the attitude of the union
is criminal.
To have war material tied up because of policy
against the use of Negro manpower is nonsenscal
to everybody except the most hardened bigot. Such
attitude results in prolongation of the and
ultimately costs the lives of American youths in the
armed services. This is frightful price to pay for

MEMORIAL DAY

AS we observe Memorial Day this week 1t is
interesting to recall that this observance had its
origin in a Southern Custom. 1t seems that the
widows of the Confederate soldiers who died in the
Civil War were accustomed in the Spring of the
year to place flowers on the graves of their war
dead. After period widows of Union soldiers who
fell in battle chose day to decorate the graves of
their loved ones.
Whatever the origin, this custom has become
nationwide and it has taken on a greater signif-
icance today as American youth pay the supreme
sacrifices in order that all Americans of all sections
