DR.. W. E. B. Dubois were ap-
pointed as delegates to the World
Security Conference at San Fran
cisco. The NAACP has fought for
years for democracy, and a peace
that will include equality for all
races. The NAACP has recognized
intelligent leadership of which all
people can be proud. Join the
NAACP today. The yearly men,
bership fee is only $1.O0. Your
dollar will aid men like Walter

represent you and your problems. "

the matter Of understanding be-

one of the most important domes-

JuSIluCdLIOu o. mCAL1 IN
the thousands of dollars and weeks
of time which are being and will
be spent by our Negro leaders at
tending the World Security Confer
ence in San Francisco. I make
exception, of course, to the three
Negroes who are there as recog-
nized consultantS on invitation by
the State Department (Mrs. Mary
Bethune, Walter White and DIR.
Web DuBois.) I make exception,
too, of the newspaper men (the
working journalist only, however.)
The rest of them, it seems to me,
are in the same position as the
farmer who locked his barn after
his horse was stolen, but who in
sisted on buying the lock because
it was pretty.
The American delegation to the
parley, while ostensibly free to
negotiate, has already established
the framework Of policy in which
it will operate. The agenda of the
conference long ago was decided.
The question Of disposition of spe-
cific territories in colonial and de-
pendent area matters will have no
place in this particular conference.
Certainly the specific problems of
the Negro in America or in the
world will not be discussed.
All these decisions were made
when most of the organizations
which have representatives on the
Coast for the conference were play
ing ostrich with their heads in the
sands. With one or two excep-
lions, I doubt whether any of them
has single concrete suggestion in
writing that could be handed to
Secretary of State Stettinius should
he call for (which he won't.
Of course, the conference is
important! No one is more con-
cerned about what happens at San
Francisco than /. No one is more
aware of the necessity for working
out a plan of organization and pro-
cedure which may eventually lead
to the total prevention of war, the
alienation of the economic ills Oh
the world, the abolition of exploit
tation of the weak by the strong,
ard the establishment of the prin-
ciples of justice and equality on
a worldwide basis.
But I still think our interest
should have been displayed earlier
and more effectively than by spend
ing that $4,000 the Elks appro-
priated to send Finley Wilson, Per-
~ Howard and Mrs. Theresa Rob-
inson to San Francisco. That
money, itself, could have been spent
more proftably by giving $1,000
a piece to the National Council
for a Permanent FEPC, the Ma
tional Committee to Abolish the
Poll Tax, and the National Council
of Negro Women.
1 cite the Elks only as an ex-
ample. The same goes for all the
other church, civic, fraternal and
"do-good" organizations represent
ed at San Francisco by persons who
traversed the entire country to get
there and who plan to stay from
a week to a month on the scene.
It just sort of inks me to see this
performance while Congressman
Rankin of Mississippi and Senator
Bankhead of Alabama and others
of their iIk are rushing to the
White House to see President Tru-
man. Not Negro has been in to
see President Truman yet to let
him know we want to support him
in his desire to carry out Roose-
velt's policies, and to remind him
though I think he realizes it
that he is our President, too.
Maybe Pm wrong!

SHAKE-UP OF WAR
AGENCIES URGED

WASHINGTON, July % P -
The Senate war investigating COM
mittee called today for shake-up
Of the war agencies to place them
under direct, supervisory control OF
war mobilizati ton director John w.
Snyder.
In an annual report to the Senate,
the committee said wartime
economy requires closely knit cen
trail control" yet the office of war
mobilization has functioned main
ly as an overall policy body and
referee rather than an operating
agency"
AS a result continued, the oper-
ating agencies have continued
their conflicts and disputes al
though most of these now even
tually reach the office of war mo-
bliziation for settlement. The office
of war mobilization has not at
tempted to run war mobilization. y
The change proposed would make
each agency head, such as war
production board chairman j. A.
Krugg, war manpoWer commits
sioner Paul V. McNutt and Defense
Transportation Director J. Moon
roe Johnson, "direct subor-
dinate," in the words of the COM
mittee, of the war mobilizer. I'm
der the war powers act, President
Truman could make the changes
by executive order.
1.-The number of these subsidiar'
les should be reduced to a mini
num-" the committee declared.
by converting the top agency
into an active supervisor and by
building strong lines of authority
down the subsidiary operating
agencies. the entire war-produc
ton effort would be considerably
strengthened.
elm preparing for peace, the OF
flee of war mobilization shoult
have a strong reconversion divi
sion with actual operating func
tons x x.'.'
