north and some other communities
that are enlightened such benight-
ed, vicious, evil-minded un-Chris-
tan Crackers" as Eastland and
Bilbo. They should be stopped at
the border and told to go back
home, back to the tobacco fields,
cotton plantations, bayous and
swamps where they belong, togeth-
er with the dogs and field rats who
should be accorded a higher dis
tinction than their human counter
parts, the Eastlands and the Bilbos.
The charge that Eastland made
that one-twelfth of the army is
made up of Negroes who are guilty
of more than half of the crime of
the army is as wild and irrespon-
sible statement as to be made
even by DR.. Goebbels when Hitler
was in his prime. All Eastland has
to do is to look at the record of
the white soldiers among colored
people and then go and hang his
head in shame.
Moment of Love with Black Women
IF the Senegalese DID commit
the crime as charged by Eastland,
that is only one step toward aveng-
ing the millions of cases of rape,
assault and murder carried on by
the so-called master white race on
the bodies of black women in
Africa, the South Pacific, in India,
Burma, and Egypt and, most nota-
bly,, in Senator Eastland's own
native Mississippi where the white
man has run completely riot with
his uncomfortable sexual pas
sion for women not of his own race
or color.
Somewhere down the line it
might conceivably be found that
Eastland, himself, might have
little tint of the 'tarbrush" in him,
who knows. Strange things have
happened before in Mississippi
where people of apparent white
descent have been known to show
up several generations later with
a Negro in the closet. If it is true
that Senator Eastland might have
few drops of Negro blood as the
result of some fnagling on the part
of his paternal sires, it probably
would be bit amusing to see what
he would do when confronted with
such evidence while he is prepar-
ing to launch an onslaught on the
morals and virtues on the so-called
subject people of the world.
It goes without saying that the
American Negro, in his conduct
and department on foreign soil,
ranks higher than that of any other
racial group and there is no mis-

The unsavory speech by Senator
Eastland in attacking viciously the
American Negro soldier in the
U. S. Senate was, and still is, the
most dangerous indication of the
reactionary forecast of the post
war era that has thus far come to
light. Together with Bilbo, East
land has challenged and questioned
the record of achievements made
by the American Negro since
Emancipation and the flaming,
vicious and foul challenge hurled
by these two ignorant dyed-in-the-
wool Southerners seems a crudely
conceived effort to stir the threat
of physical violence to American
Negro citizens by white soldiers
returning to the States after the
war.
Of course, the filibuster against
continuation of the Fair Employ
ment Practice Committee was in
cidental to the main purpose of
Bilbo and Eastland. The fact that
Negroes were demanding, with the
support of liberal-minded whites
and labor, a fair deal in assuring
them the right to work without re-
gard to discrimination because of
race, creed, color, or religion is just
the means to an end in depraved,
foully conceived plan on the part
of these two torch-bearers of
American fascism and reaction.
Of course, no thinking person,
white or black, would accept the
insinuated insult "the Negro soldier
, has been an utter and abysmal
failure" as charged by Eastland
and the allusion to an unnamed
High ranking general in Paris"
that "the conduct of the Negro SOL
der in Normandy as we'll as all over
Europe was disgraceful and that
Negro soldiers have disgraced the
flag of their country"
"They constitute Negro SOL
diers) roughly one-twelfth of the
American Army, yet they are gull
ty of more than half of the crime
of the Army" said Eastland. The
Mississippian also rounded out his
diatribe against colored people
with the flat statement that 5000
good Christian" German women
were rounded in a Stuttgart sub
way in Germany and raped by
French Senegalese and Berber
troops, wearing American lend
lease uniforms.

The million members are scattered
over every state in the country and
many foreign lands.
They are the laymen who weekly
go to the stone churches in the
cities and the wooden frame
churches in the country to hear
brown-skinned theologians preach
the gospel the Methodist way.
The laymen are the ones who
contribute to the collection and
build the church into a sturdy or
ganization.
But strangely, these laymen have
no voice in the workings and oper-
alton of the church. They are only
the flock.
The integrated network of AME
church organization empowers the
final and sole strength in the
bishops.
Naturally, you would expect to
see some of the wisest, the most
thinking ministers at the helm of
the great church.
You would expect to see men ap-
pointed to the bishopric because Of
their sterling character and their
leadership.
You would expect to see one of
the most intelligent church boards
in the country.
But on the other hand, you're
terribly disappointed.
You see a mediocre lot. One
bishop cannot say a sentence with
out splitting three words.
Another shows how much pub
lie taste he has by walking around
the host church with a dirty hand
kerchief SPRAYING over his head.
Another wears a vestment that
is pockmarked with chicken gravy
stains.

CONDITIONS created by the
war years opened strange, new and
almost undreamed of positions. In
Philadelphia, Chicago and New
York, colored Americans won jobs
as motormen, conductors and bus
drivers. A few milk routes have
been captured. We are now oper-
ating intricate machines in war
plants. We have become welders,
molders and machinists. The
knowledge that we have acquired
cannot be taken away by the solid
Southern bloc, even though it has
enough power to indenture US as
being unqualified to vote below the
Mason-Dixon line.
We have sailed on the seven
oceans of the earth, we have float
ed in the azure blue in air planes.
We have met the strange and pc
cullar people of many nations and
none can deny that we have profit
ed by our experiences.
We no longer see through the
glass of life so darkly, because we
have faint glimmer of what is
going on in the world. Our plight
and our cause have been heralded
to the zone World" that we live in.
We have marched many para
sangs with union labor. We have
become so strongly entrenched in
the CLIO that wise men like Con-
gresham Patrick of Alabama sees
the futility of the poll tax. We
should be cup and at 'em" on this
issue because as sure as night fol-
lows day, we will eventually out
law this practice.

to talk about.
Only one or two seem to have
the courage and foresight to be on
such a powerful board but the
environment has warped their
spirit.
1t doesn't take much concentra-
ton of thought to realize the COM
plete lack of responsibility in these

derstandable why money would
play such vital role in both the
election and continuance of a

take in that, because all one has
to do is to talk with war CORES
pondents who have been with Ne
gro troops and who associated,
slept, and ate with them. In the
first place, the army itself has so
many penalties and so many safe
guards against an occasional Negro
CT going astray that it is next to
impossible for him to get away
with anything or commit any sort
of crime of the nature referred to
by Eastland. On the other hand, it
is far easier for white soldier to
run riot in satisfying his desires
because white face is less subject
to question, both by the civilian
population and the army authori-
ties than one that is black.
Like Eastland and a
COlOred Woman
It stands to reason that a Negro
accosting white civilian woman in
France, Germany, or anywhere for
that matter, would attract as much
attention as Eastland consorting
with one of his colored female con-
stituents from his political BALI
wick on the corner of main street

continued, "and he wants to remain

After you get a closeup view of
the Bishops, you wonder whether
a million members of the AME
Church really know the inside
story.
You wonder whether the laymen
actually know the truth about the
workings of their own church?
Evidently, many of them don't.

In Memoriam of devoted father and
husband, Mr.. ]. E. Jackson, who passed
away, one year ago, July 10, 1914.
We cannot say and will not say that he
is dead he is just away
With a smiling face and shake of the hand
He has entered into an unknown land
And left us dreaming. How very dear!
It needs must be since he fingers there
And we, oh, we whose widest yearn
For the old time step and the glad return.
Think of him faring on SO dear
In the love of there as the love of here;
Think of him as again we say,
He is not dead, he is just away.
