Inconsistency of JimcrO

Writes After Discharge

Editor: would like to tell you of
something 1 saw while in the
Philippines that shows how incon-
sistent and ridiculous American
jimcro is. On one night, at a Red
Cross club, only "Negro" soldiers
were allowed while on the next
night only "white" soldiers were
allowed. What made it ridiculous,
was that Filipino girls on one
night were classified as "Negro"
so that they could go dancing with
the Negro soldiers, while on the
next night they were classified as
white" so that they could go dane
ing with the white soldiers. Is it
any wonder that the natives of
foreign countries are puzzled about

uniform they wore when they were
fighting to "save Democracy from
the Hun"
The disgraceful race rioting in
Atlanta, Washington, Chicago,
Tulsa, and elsewhere has never
been lived down.
Before the war Negros were fed
propaganda as well as were all
other Americans about what
Kaiser Bill was trying to do and
how important it was to save the
starving Armenians and the poor,
defenseless Belgians from the ter
ror that was being unleashed upon
them by the dastardly Hun.
They were led to believe that by
giving their lives for this white
cause" they would improve, some
how, the conditions under which
they lived here in America. Their
reward after the Armistice was
wholesale terrorism, lynchings,
burnings, intimidation, discrimina-
ton and Jim Crow at every hand.
Today at the cessation of de-
clared hostilities in World War
II, much of the same situation
exists. The Negroes condition hasn't
improved any too much discerni-
bly,. In fact, it has deteriorated
to an alarming extent.
Where in World War I he had
not the mass intelligence he has
today, the pressure is of a differ
ent sort. He is being overwhelmed
by the new fantasies of white su-
premacy that are built up in his
mind by wide publicity given to
the Atom Bomb, to Jet Propulsion,
to everything that points out the
power of the white man.
He reads in every daily paper
and magazine, evidence that the
white man is absolutely the great
est being on earth and great care
is stressed in relating to him the
plight of the Japanese who had the
temerity to challenge the white
mans right to rule. The propa-
ganda is insidious.
Confronted with the actualities
of his own plight in which he is
at the bottom rung of the ladder
and doomed to stay there under
existing conditions, the Negro can
only stand by and take it.
Right now evidences of the age
old white mans attitude toward the
Negro are cropping up on every
side despite the claims of the lib
erals in the labor movement, de-
spite the claims of the star-gazers
who see a black Shangrila in the
midst of the living hell and try
to convince all of us that it isn't
that bad. White students, egged
on by reactionary parents who,
themselves, are stepped in century
old beliefs Of white supremacy, are
striking against colored classmates
attending the same schools with
them.
Negroes, themselves, contribute
much to these conditions by fail
ure to control their own young
sters, allowing them to drift off
early into lives of crime or in
dolence. All these factors point up
to bad examples of Negro leader
ship which offers nothing for the
masses to sink their teeth in and
nothing of a concrete nature.
They are long on promises, short
on results, and as a result, we
sink further into the mire of men
tai and economic stagnation.

Stassen Has Much to Learn
Charges Reader Who Isn't
Satisfied With Past Record

Satisfied With Past Record
Editor: I am rejoiced over your
editorial leader on Harold Stassen
in last weeks paper. He was,
even as you say, correctly pictured
in an article appearing in the New
Republic as a flake liberal"
Dressed up in the manner of Floyd
Olson, he stole enough of the
Farmer-Labor thunder to make a
big noise in the 1886 state cam
paign. A campaign fund con-
tributed by the steel-makers said
to have been $50, 900, helped a lot
to "put him over" as governor.
And his own intellectual dishonesty
did more.
Asserting that his predecessors
had run the state in debt to the
tune of 100000, 900, that he found
the treasury cupboard bare, that
the cost of government was ex-
orbitant, and that great corrup-
ton was in evidence, Stassen rode
into office.
All of these assertions were false,
as can easily be proved. But lack
ing daily paper to publicize the
fact, lacking steel money, and con-
sequently lacking organization, the
Farmer-Labor people could not re-
flute the charges.
Once in as governor, Stassen
made a great TODD about changing
the forms of government. But the
cost remained as great as before.
And then came the Cowles interests
to boom him in Look, and the other
illustrated papers followed suit.
Commentators uncritically built
him up until he looked like hero.
And then Roosevelt had to honor
him by sending him to San Fran
cisco where he aided in bringing
the unspeakable Argentine Fascists
into the new world government
scheme, and in blocking the aspira-
tons of the native" peoples of the
Pacific for recognition as equals of
the white peoples. Certainly Stas-
sens record is anything but liberal,
not to speak of his attitude toward
the Negroes of this state.
AS to his speech on the atomic
bomb-that was bomb-ast, for it
contained nothing that was not APP
parent to all who think at all, ex-
cept the idea of equipping a world
police force with. atomic bombs
very fantastic and hopelessly i'm
practical suggestion. Who ever
heard of a police force equipped
with weapons sure to wipe out en-
tire communities at one fell stroke?
No, Harold Stassen is not the
man we want to put back into
office. If the best the Republicans
can do is to choose him for a
leader in 1948, President Truman
should surely be reelected despite
his inadequacy for leadership in
the great forward movement that

Only Whites to Guard
Jap Prisoners of War
Writes Disguised G.I.

Editor: This is the last straw.
Over the loud-speaker, before
thousands of soldiers, an announce
ment was made for volunteers to
guard and accompany Jap PW's to
Japan, but only white soldiers could
be accepted!
Will someone please explain just
why this is? Despite the directives
and bulletins put out by the War
Department, which is really only
just so much reading matter, I've
found the benefits, rights, oppor-
tunities and everything else limited
for me. From my entry into this
Army of segregation and relega-
ton, I was tabled as a Negro
soldier, and my color has preceded
me at all times.
My skin was responsible for the
type of unit I was in, the stations
I had while Stateside, the stations
I had overseas, the type of work
1 was to do, and the opportunities
open to me. Even on the shipping
lists of soldiers returning to the
States I have a capital IN" after
my name. Is it any wonder that I
want out from the likes of this I?
I was on the Fifth Army front, and
found the biggest joke of all, that
even on the tags one puts on the
dead and wounded, one must speci-
fly his color.

Right now little can be done to
halt the wholesale terrorism we
face in the aftermath of the war
beyond a determination on the
part of US all not to take these
things lying down. The miitancy
of our demands must be translated
into the actuality of the steps we
take. Until then, surcease from
misery seems afar off.

We know we have never lost her,
For that could never be;
She has only gone on a journey

Till memory fades and life departs
You'll live forever in our hearts;
Time takes away the edge of grief
But memory turns back every leaf.

Giants Boast

Remoins Intact

LAKEWOOD, N. j., April g.
(P)-The New York Giants fin
IShed fifth in National League
last year, 38 games back of the
pennant-winning Cardinals and
eight behind the fourth place
Cubs, but they'll be the only
team in the loop to break from
the barrier on April II with
their 1914 regular lineup intact,
There is one little If 10 the
above statement but Manager
Mel OFT is not unduly worried.
The ifs Joe Medwick, whose
sacroiliac started acting up again
= couple days ago. The veteran
left fielder was promptly shipped
off 10 New York for treatment
with instructions to stay away
from the training camp as long
as necessary.
II have high hopes that Joe
will be okay by a week from
next Tuesday" said OFT today as
the Giants prepared TO depart
Sunday from their camp in the
pines. He was bothered little
by the ailment the first few days
here but it came around and he
was humping the ball like the
Medwick of old"
If MedWick isn't able to start
the opening game, Leon Tread
way, who hit 300 in so games
with the Giants last season, prob
ably will team with Johnny
Rucker in center and OFT in left.
The infield won't be the same
as played the final 1914 game
but all of the men are veterans.
Phil Weintraub will be on first,
little George Hausmann again
will hold down second with Bud
dy Kerr at shortstop and Nap
Reyes on third.

more good season before retiring

Ernie lombard, still slow but
in better condition than he has
