NEGROES MUST FINANCE THEMSELVES
By E. I. Z.

The sudden rude awakening from the most unholy

America white and black with feeling that were
better off under its blight than before.

The sudden termination of the with Japan turned
our hour of enchantment to of deep soctude The

Many sought saving banks, bought bonds, bought
homes accepted postwar jobs at lesser wage paid off
Indebtedness unafraid of the future.
Many, many have cashed their weekly checks of SIS
to 500 on Friday and Saturday nights Intoxicated by
passed and the coming Monday forced borrow
money to report for their employment One day with 500
and 90 days with dollars Profgate spending left many

Social ills have deeply disturbed the moral world as

sins of evdoers not be imputed to those who live by

As distressing it may be, financial interests in Sc
attic have decreed Negroes must hencefoh finance them
selves This means Negroes entering the business world
must be their advance agent Is it because
profgae industry is of nature not worthy of fnan-

Negroes who have been fortunate enough to own and
control legitimate business result of the war; should
not sacrifice their holdings Many, many big business

ize that aim two steps are necessary. First there must be national assembly in which all parties are represented. Af- ter this must come "the removal of the reactionaries who now head the Kuomin- tang, the Chinese government party"
 In other words, coalition as used in Izvestia means the elimination of the people Izvestia doesn't like. Compromise means purge of ones opponents. If there is in the United States and other English-speaking parts of the world a gross misunderstanding of Izvestia's stand on coalition and compromise it is because the English-speaking nations maiciously twist the meaning of these words, or are just plain dumb.

Close To The Hearts Desire Of The
 People

Production of 350,OOO domestic wash ing machines has been programmed for the third quarter, although permission to produce in excess of the program is granted only to the extent that materials are available without priorities assist ance. Until the controlling order was re- gently amended, manufacturers of do- mestic washing machines, ironers and differs had been prohibited since May, 1922 Ironers and driers are no longer subject to the control of the order, but since materials and components needed for production of domestic laundry equipment will be available in varying quantities and at various times, it may be some time before all are in balance. Washers, ironers, and differs, are not ex- pected to be available to the general pub lie, even on a limited basis, until late in 1945.

WHO PUZZLES WHOM?
 (NeW York Tines)

Since 1t is permissible to introduce grave matters lightly there is the story ot the little boy who was told to stop pulling the cats tail. He insisted that he was doing nothing of the kind. All he did was to hold on to the cats tail and the cat did the pulling. That is virtually the ex- planation which you hear on every side here at home for the sometimes tense state of Soviet-American feeling. Soviet Russia can be accused of nothing more than holding on to the cats tail. It is we who have created the unfortunate state Of tension by pulling in what we consider the right direction.
 In every case of Russo-American mis- understanding, it is the assumption, in quarters mentioned above, that we are always at fault. We ignorantly or per versely fail to understand the Russians and their use of language. The thought is never suggested that the Russians and their use of language may be hard to un- derstand for us, and sometimes impossi- ble to understand
 Take a plain everyday word like ''co- alition.' A writer in Izvestia says that China's great need is "a coalition govern ment dedicated to democracy" To real

DELEGATE BARTLETT PRO- TESTS PROPOSED WAGE DETRIMENTAL CHANGE

against AlaSka residents, Delegdte Bartlett is doing all within his power to fight proposed execu- tive order which would eliminate the 25% differential now paid to Alaskans in the classified Federal service hereafter hired in the Ter ritory. Delegate J. R. Harrington of Hawaii has joined in the fight.
 The drafted executive order which is being circulated among government departments for con- sideration follows closely the an- nouncement by the army and navy that, effective July the differen- tial would continue to be paid per- sonnel recruited in continental United States for work in the ter ritories and possessions but would not be paid to personnel recruited in those areas after July 1. If the executive order were signed by the President, all persons hired in Alaska-and the other territories after the effective date of the order for work in the Territory, would be deprived of the differ ential.
 In a conference MT. Harrington and MT. Bartlett held in MT. Bart let's office with army and navy representatives, it was agreed by those representatives that if the executive order is not signed the army and navy will revert to the former procedure of paying a 25To differential for all employees working in the areas affected.
 Shortly after tha conference, MT. Bartlett talked with George J. Schoeneman, Administrative As sistant to the President, who stated that no furher action would be taken toward signing the executive order until all interested agencies and departments had a chance to render opinions on the suitability of the order.
 Delegate Bartlett has presented his views to all heads of agencies and departments having personnel in Alaska asking their support in opposing the order.
 The order embraces clause WHICH also a11ectS residents hlred in territories or island possessions before the effective date of this order. The Clause provides that any resident hired prior to the date of the order who is receiving the 25% differential shall continue to receive the differential until such time as he receives a raise in basic pay after June 30, 1945, Gin cluding basic pay scale revisions, promotions and within grade sal ary advance-nents) the dollar rate
