instead of according to color. 1t
was no accident that great bodies
of white workers, who had formerly
resented Negroes as competitors
for their jobs, became crusaders
for interracial justice. With white
workers demanding employment
equality instead Of opposing it,
while the traditional friends of
interracial fair play, the artists
and intellectuals, became more
numerous and militant, Negroes be-
gan to feel that they had a real
stake in their Government and their
country, that their struggle for full
citizenship rights was not hopeless.
The more discerning among them
realized that they were living in a
new era of race relations.
Encouraged Better Feeling
If Franklin Roosevelt was not re-
sponsible for that era of better
feeling between the races, he at
least gave it a larger measure Of
encouragement than any preceding
President since Lincoln. Negroes
fear they will not soon see another
like him in the White House. His
passing leaves a void filed only
with their sadness.

solve the race problem. The idea
of the March on Washington was
predicated on the theory that "the
function of the president or any
leader or group is one of constant
ly balancing pressures and that
they inevitably move in the direc-
ton of the pressure of the greatest
challenge"
When the challenge of the March
on Washington was given the late
President Roosevelt, and it became
fairly certain that 100000 Negroes
were determined to march on the
capital, the President yielded, and
issued Executive Order 1902, and
established the Fair Employment
Practices Committee. There was
no other way for it to have been
done, Mr.. Randolph would say. He
is convinced such methods can
solve the race problem.

Mutiny?
By Ludlow w. Werner in the New
York Age

Dy LuulON W. "cEleE III lnc NC"
York Age
That is the title of a compelling
little pamphlet published recently
by the n. A. A. C. P. giving the
real story of how the Navy branded
fifty fear-shocked Negro sailors as
mutineers after the Port Chicago
explosion on July II, 1914.
The Port Chicago explosion
claimed the lives of 800 American
sailors who were blown to bits. The
aftermath, however, has claimed so
additional lives, because as a result
of the court-martial of these young
sailors, half of them under 81, ten
were sentenced to Is years in
prison; II to 10 years; "a to II
years; and 5 to 8 years.
Why were they given these
sentences?
Simply because they were afraid
to go back loading ammunition
three weeks after they had seen
800 other sailors blown to bits while
performing the same tasks.
At the present time the trial
record and briefs are being re-
viewed by the Judge Advocate
General of the United States Navy
in Washington and in turn his
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1945-07-06

In the words of Thurgood Mar
shall, chief counsel of the NAACP,
who attended the trial at Yuerba
Buena Island in San Francisco bay
for twelve days in October, 1914,
these men are being tried for
mutiny solely because of their race
and color"
Since the trial, it has been dis

were prosecuted by a naval officer,

pictures published in connection
with the Presidents death. A few
weeks later, Texas woman wrote
to the editor of Life" that in her
opinion Jackson presented a COM
posite picture of all the small peo-
pie in their grief, both black and
white.
That the writer expressed an
opinion shared by countless thou
sands is hardly open to doubt.
Roosevelt had a stronger hold on
the affection and loyalty of plain
people than any other living states
man. Practically every social and
economic minority was convinced
that he had given special encour-
agement to it's cause. Negroes were
not an exception. They believed
that during his long Presidency
their condition had improved at a
faster tempo than at any time since
emancipation.
Not Maudlin
Negroes were not sentimental
about the President, in a maudlin
sense. They did not regard him as
their champion or special friend.
At times they were severely critical
of his acts of omission or his luke
warm attitude toward specific
abuses. They felt, to mention a
few instances, that he was not
forceful enough in supporting the
anti-lynching and anti-poll tax
bills, and that he made no forth
right effort to prevent or punish the
persecution of colored soldiers in
the early months of the war. But
those delinquencies were more than
Offset by the overall effect of his
use of the powers of his office. In
deed, his delinquencies would have
been taken for granted in any Of
the five preceding administrations,
accepted as the normal attitude of
a President. Negroes expected more
of Roosevelt because he raised their
hopes so high.
Some Roosevelt Haters
There were Roosevelt-haters
among Negroes, of course; consist
ing Of cynics, shoestring tories, and
intransigeant Chauvinists to whom
any improvement less than perfec-
ton is worse than no improvement
at all. But the great body Of sensi-
BILE, temperate Negroes never lost
sight of two conspicuous facts. His
policies had made them materially
better off, and increased the mo-
mentum Of the forces moving to-
ward interracial amity.
Negroes were fully aware that
the benefits of his reforms came
to them by indirection. Still, Negro
farmers participated in the Soil
Conservation program and colored
home owners and home buyers were

welt was always the exemplar of
correct democratic manners. In
every situation, with every gesture,
he was a model of department for
the gentleman in a democracy. He
was candidate in four campaigns
for the Presidency, all of them
among the most bitter in our his
tory. Not once did he even mad
vertently appeal to the selfshness,
the meanness, the littleness, of
which Americans, along with the
rest of Gods children, have their
full share. He always appealed to
the generous side of the electorate;
to the sense of fair play among
the voters whose support he sought,
to their chivalry and charity.
Recognized No Class Lines
After each of his elections to the
Presidency, his conduct in the office
was as exemplary as was his
method in seeking it. He recog-
nized no lines of class or color
among his fellow Americans, only
degrees of merit. In his contacts
with the heads of foreign nations
he was no respecter of persons. He
conferred with Britain's Prime Min
lister on a battleship and rode in a
jeep with Liberals President, per-
hitting himself to be photographed
on both occasions. With his almost
uncanny sense of publicity values,
he certainly knew the pictures of
the latter incident would make sub
tie but powerful propaganda for
interracial equality.
It was with such gestures that
he encouraged the spirit of toler-
ance and cooperation among the
people. He set an example of deal
ing with men according to merit
