succeeded in putting one over on
the white folks and wasn't discov-
cred until his blacker brother or
sister put in an unexpected ap-
pearance.
Then the discussion changed and
somebody started talking about
Negroes in business.
I'm frankly afraid of Negro
grocery stores" said one woman,
adjusting her pince-nez. They
have to buy from the white grocery
next door and nine times out of
ten the merchandise isn't what you
could get for the same price as
from the white place."
Darling, you are right" put in
another woman, placing her
whiskey glass on a coaster. 81 do
all my buying downtown. Mr.
business is all right in its place, but
not when I'm spending my money"
The visitor asked a sober-look-
ing, smartly dressed woman who
had been introduced to him as an
executive of one of the big national
race rights organizations, what she
thought about Negroes going into
business. He was shocked at her
reply.
"As long as they are in such
businesses as barbering, beauty
parlors, lunch counters, taverns,
and smoke shops, they are all
right" she said. 81 don't believe
the Negro has advanced enough in
economic ability to venture into big
business. I think Negroes should
invest their money in big white
utilities that will give US some
measure of control of the things
that are standard. Negro lnsur-
ances are all right, but the big
white concerns are more sound and
stable" The New Orleanian want
ed to know how much of Metro
politan Life Negroes controlled
through their tremendous invest
ments through policies. "Oh, that
is an exception. I think Negroes
should seek greater opportunities
in inter-racial relationships. That
today is more important than a lot
of two-bit grocery stores and half
run bakeries, and so on. This is a
modern age. We must get away
from the notion that we can build
a race within a race here in Ameri-
ca. The Negro is American. He

me wherever I've been and ! would
like to express my appreciation by
writing this note. First of all it
has been a great help to my morale,
as you print the truth about things
that doesn't even appear in some
of the other eOlored papers. There
are quite few other fellows who
enjoy the paper and read it as
regularly as do.
AS a soldier who is fighting for
his loved ones at home your paper
relieves our minds by letting US
know that the people at home are
happy, as we know and have seen
what war will do to the young and
old.
With the forming of new clubs
and more people supporting the
different organizations which are
fighting for our rights, they are
the things that we like for we need
unity and majority in order to &C
complish anything. With news such
as that we know that you, the
colored people, are making a
better place for US to come home
to.

Sheets involve by far the larger

the most difficult of the major prod
ucts to schedule" the trade publica-
ton said.
Generally speaking no definite
delivery promises can be made on
this unvalidsted tonnage because OF
priority Of rated orders. Apparently
the rush is Influenced by desire of
consumers to get the best possible
position when mills can place such
orders on schedule. Some trade
leaders forsee considerable confusion
as q result, as by the time the ton
mage can be handled there may be
changes in programs and needs OF
various consumers
"On the other hand" Steel COM

sumers, including the largest, have
their civilian programs laid out,
