tributon to the States accomplishments made
by its citizens of every race, color or creed and
insist that they have equality of opportunity in
the economic. educational, political and military
life of the nation Our party pledges itself to
policy of fairness and justice to the Negro race
both in times of war and in peace"
And so on through the years-high sounding
pledges Now let take a look at an extract
from the partys platform that was adopted at
the August l, 1914 convention. The part of the
platform il relates to minority groups is longer
than the space accorded them in previous con-
vention platforms II even gets specific enough to
pledge the creation of State FEPC. Following
are the pertinent paragraphs:
I'VE Join with the National Convention Of the
Republican Party in condemning all appeals to
racial and religious prejudice. We reiterate what
was said in our Republican Spring Convention
of l944-'The Republicans of Michigan recognize
the contribution to the States accomplishments
made by its citizens of every race, color or creed
and insist that they have equality of opportunity
in the economic, educational, political and mill
tary life of the Nation Our Party pledges itself
to policy of fairness and justice to the Negro
race both in times of war and in peace.
I'VE approve the action of the National Con-
vention expressed as follows We pledge
immediate congressional inquiry to ascertain the
extent to which miStreatment segregation and
discrimination against Negroes who are in our
armed forces are mpairing morale and efficiency,
and the adoption of corrective legislation We
pledge the establishment by state and federal
legislation of permanent fair employment prac-1
tce commission. The payment of any~poIl tax
should not be a condition of voting in federal
elections, and we favor immediate submission Of
constitutional amendment for its abolition. We
favor legislation against ynching and pledge our
sincere efforts in behalf of its early enactment"
- These selections from the Republican State
platforms are clear-cut evidence of promises that
have been made. Now all we await, is equally
clear evidence that the promises shall be kept
before the present Michigan State Legislature
goes home. That will solve one headache OF
millions of Michigan citizens.
Next week another headache will be diagnossd)

America. The various members of
the total national group have Diff
ferent instruments.
And for progress We must have
tolerance Of difference, not the iron
hSt OF regimented uniformity. or
no element is this more true in our
national life than Of the labor
movement.
At present our foremost task Is
TO win the war. But in doing so
we do we'll TO recall that somebody
won every one Of the eight hundred
wars fought in the last thousand
years yet no one ever yet won q
lasting peace.
The supreme challenge to our
time when the military victory Is
won will be the creation Of such
world order. In il labor will
have an Increasingly important
part. But il that part is TO be con-
structive and 10 make for progress
