to upheave the world
Maybe there wouldn't be much
sense to it, but the United States
could pitch that ball right back to
the protaganists of Russia.
The communist party in the United
States followed faithfully the line laid
down in the soviet capital. And when
the Moscow-dominated party in the
United States couldn't operate openly
along about 1925, it went under
ground.
A communist newspaper was pub
lished underground, so successfully
that even our own State Department
with all of it's resources, couldn't find
out where it was published.
l have had copies of that under
ground newspaper. Perhaps it never
was published twice in the same place
There is good authority for the
committed in the United States upon
orders of what then was called the
OGPU.
Now it might be good idea to for
get all of these things-to forget the
plan to create cells within American
unions and great many more like ideas
but if the propagandists of Russia
and their friends, insist upon telling
half the story and if Mr.. Molotov in
sists upon bucking the United States
on the grounds that he has sneakine
fear that we don't like communism
why, then it seems fair to tell the 9TH
er half.
The American position always has
been that if the Russians want com
munism, or even a semi recognizable
facsimile thereof, that's their business
and we don't give a hoot; BUT, that

Where with eur Little Hatchst We tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly. sometimes Aippantly, some
times recklessly.

Writers are piling up columns of
print about why the Russians suspect
that American motives are not at all
times pure.
Some of these criticisms have lot
of justice in them. Russia doesn't like
the American attitude in the Spanish
civil war Russia doesn't like our
backing and filling with Argentina.
But mostly the critics of the United
States go back to the early days of
the soviet union when the United
States had troops in Russia fighting
the Bolsheviks.
Our country joined in trying to es-
tablish what the French called the
Gordon sanitaire. So, we are told that
the Russians still hold that against us
Maybe they do.
Now there is no sense stirring up
old fights at time when nations are
trying their darndest to get together

OUR HERITAGE
BY Willie j. Miller

When it comes to benefits and blessings when it comes
to opportunities and possibilities the Negroes of the
State of Mississippi have goody hertage-somehing we
danger Of forgetting especially of the fact that
there among who always finding fault with
local government We would be wiser and better c
would spend time in showing appreciation
we do not-haver
We should be thankful of heritage and should try
to be worthy of it. We should be appreciated and
and thankful for the aid that has been given modify
ing heritage We should think before criticize. The
difference between the words think and thank is only
vowel, but the two words vitality related One must
think to thank" Ingratude is always the result of
thoughlessness.
We have received heritage from a great number of
WeLmeapng leaders of who have passed to
greater reward Our the socalled problem
should be summed up in the philosophy Of the great Negro
leader Booker Washington when he said occasion
while addressing mixed group GAS have proved
loyalty to in the past nursing your children watch
ing by the scbed of your mothers and fathers and often
following them with tear-dimmed eyes their graves,
IN the future shall stand by you with devotion that no
foreigner can approach ready to lay down lives need
be- in defense of yours nteracing industrial
cal civil and religious life with yours that shall
make the interests of both In all things that
purely social be separate the fingers yet one
as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress Like
Booker Washington there others who have left
great hertages Their faithfuness and their dreams must
not forsake We should defend and protect the heritage
which they have left Their ideal be made perfect
without US The heritage is not something which be
content merely to celebrate their birthdays It must be
lived
There are among who have allowed themselves
to be led aStray by evil forces from without and within
changes IN our local government They seek this change
through national legislation. This is great mistake and will
only Increase racial ileelng Any change in social and
political issues that might affect the Negro
local government before it will be put working basis
There is no real race problem in the South There is
however misunderstanding which exists because of few
have no better than the cowardy appeal racial
prejudice.

MOTHERS DAY

On Sunday May 49, Jackson and other cities all over
the world will celebrate Mothers Day" and feel that
some little space should be to the origin of this
derfu day. day set aside to pay tribute to Gods greatest
gift" Mother.
The observance of Mothers Day originated by Miss
Anna NJ Jarvis of Philadelphia This is the beginning
told in the "Congregationas: Good motherhood the
basis of all prosperity In this single sentence Miss
M Jarvis originator of Mothers Day. expressed at her
economic creed and the living inspiration for her noble idea
Of the conception could have sprung from only
source-the undying influence Of good mother
the child That child Miss Jarvis Between Mrs Jarvis
and her daughter there must have obviously been unusual
ties intimacy and comradeshp that death could not
wholly dispense "She oldfashoned mother" said
Miss Jarvis home and Sunday School her chief in
terests."
Indeed down in the West Virginia home the mother
had taught infants class many years that the last
she guiding the chrenS children doubling her infu
ence on second generation.
Mindful of the little whom her mother loved
Miss Jarvis had provided for the memorial
ul of white carnations to be distributed among the
not to eveyone? Suggested another loving friend of the
dead And this mothers service observed quietly
and in honor of single faithful mother
But the little episode of the white carnations and
continuing departed parent brought suggestion
to Miss Jarvis "Why should wait until these queens
of homes had laid down their scepters forever them
than the everyday honors? Thus that Mothers
Day gradually took form First the date had to be selected
May seems in many ways memorial month"; said Miss
Jarvis Indeed practically the whole month is given
tc the commemoration of Mary the Divine Mother among
Catholic friends Then too it does not interfere with
any of our Protestant occasions And lastly kind of
link between the spirit of Easter and chren Sunday So
Miss Jarvis chose the Sunday May great new
Memorial Day which leaps national frontiers
stops not at oceans continents
1.-The nation put its stamp of approval upon Mothers
Day by Congressional enactment In 1914 CONGRESSMAN
Thomas Hefn of Alabama presented resolution in the
House OF Representatives requesting that the Sunday
nMay be DESIGNATED Mothers Day" It approved
May 1914 The late Woodrow Wilson issued the first
proclamation calling upon the entire nation tribute
to the mothers of America on that day."

SURPLUS CARS DIFFICULT
TO OBTAIN

The Veterans Administration
Contact Office in Kalispell has re-
ceived the following information
from the Smaller War Plants Cor
poration regarding the purchase Of
surplus passenger cars.
What is the automobile situa-
ton?
This question is asked many times
every day in the offices Of the
Smaller War Plants Corporation.
Those who serve the veteran in
the offices of the SWPC have been
trying to give the veteran a straight
story, but so far have had little
success
Only recently figures were re-
leased which should convince the
veteran that he has but little chance
to secure an automobile
These figures indicate that the
number of serviceable passenger
automobiles in the service Of the
Army would not exceed 10000,
while those in the Navy would pro
badly not exceed 5000 Each SER
vice has indicated that they will be
releasing but few of these cars.
But suppose that they did release
even up to fifty per cent of these
cars. The first priority group,
namely, the Federal Government
Agencies, and the State, County
and City Governments would take
at least half of this group Of cars,
which would leave roughly 5000
cars that would be available to the
veteran.

trict offices over the nation have at
least one thousand applications now
on hand for automobiles So you

of you obtaining the automobile
