"out of bounds" to ex-prisoners of
war who are South African Ne
groes.
Not only London, but all large
cities in the British Isles are in
cluded, and these boys who volun-
teered to serve the British Com
monwealth in its wars against Hit
Ter and MussOlini and now in max
ing the Far East safe for the
British white man from Japanese
encroachment, finds his contribu-
ton made of no consequence and
his place in the British scheme Of
things still more intolerable.
Violent Anti-NegrO Policies
The report from London, carried
incidentally in the Indian Press
where it was displayed prominent
ly on page one of the Karachi Daily
Gazette, singularly directs atten.
ton to the violent anti-Negro policy
of the government of South Africa
which took a step that no other
British Dominion Government has
yet dared to take.
This rank discrimination against
the black heroes Of DunEirk, of
Salerno, Tripoli, and other historic
backgrounds on which British
forces were pitted against the
enemy, stands out wildly for fu-
ture historians to note as they write
down the causes of why in this CEN
fury a wave Of hatred of the white
man swept through the world
among its colored people.
Australia, additionally ilywhite,
tempered it's distaste of Negroes by
levity, especially during the early
stages of the war when large num-
bers of American Negroes were
landed at such ports as Perth, Sgd
ney and Melbourne.
Inclination in Allegiance
London, if it felt inclined that
way, could not afford to take the
step that South Africa took because
the eyes of the world were upon it,
and besides, the Nails were drop
ping too many bombs for them to
practice the segregation and dis
elimination that exists in Cape
town, Freetown and johannesburg
against those not white.
From other sources come other
reports; one that implies that the
British are up to new tricks in their
African native policy. It seems
that a plan is underway to return
discharged native African soldiers
from Nigeria to places hundreds of
miles away from their original
homes.
This, it was reported, is being
done to keep these African war
veterans from describing their ex-
periences on the battlefelds of the

Getting and Holding
Your Job
By Ethel MAXWELL Williams

to fit the new type of supervision
common to industrial plant organi-
cation.
The ambitious young Negro
woman need no longer be affected
by the discouraging advice from the
high school advisor that she "major
in domestic science" Instead, she
can now take the commercial course
indicated by her psychological tests
and feel secure that later her edu-
cation will be economically useful
to her. These wartime demands
have demonstrated that there is a
market for the services Of the Ne
gro stenographer or clerical worker
if she is competent. With the
counselling services and other re-
sources available through agencies
serving the employment needs of
the Negro woman, she will have the
chance to pioneer in various fields
of activity if she can measure up
favorably to the requirements OF
the jobs. The Negro woman must
take advantage of the opportunities
offered by her wartime experiences
and training. She should use them
as springboard from which to take
off for postwar job security. She
must work hard toward perfecting
her techniques so that the ground
gained can be held when employ
ment is no longer dependent on an
acute womanpower shortage.
When the competition grows
keen and performance, along with
other qualities, becomes the decid-
ing factor, the test Of the Negro
woman's wartime adjustment in the
world of business and industry will
be known.
In the next installment a discus
sion of some of the Attitudes which
affect the Negro worker and his or
her social adjustment to his job
will begin.

world to their people at home. In
this way, it is said, the British ex-
pect to minimize the danger that
might exist in allowing the knowl-
edge that these African natives
have been killing thousands of
white Germans and Italians from
spreading through the jungle.
Attitude Correct On Surface
Admittedly, these sound like
scare stories. The American Ne
gro, reading of them, is right in
asking, what does it mean to me ?
I am an American citizen and I
have my own fight to make for
recognition and advancement"
Such an attitude is correct on the
surface.
However, until we learn that
none of US can escape the common
bondage to the white man brought
about because of color, we will be
in the same boat with the South
African native, the Nigerian ex-
soldier and other dark peoples, in
Guiding the Indian, the Burmese,
the West Indian and all others I'M
der the heel of the British. Our
problems are akin.
The native African ex-prisoner
of war who is barred from London
is blood brother of the southern
Negro barred from walking on the
sidewalk in jerkwater towns and
hamlets in Georgia and in Missis-
sippi.
CT Fearing Terrorism?
The Nigerian who will be re-
turned somewhere other than his
native home is closely related to
the black American soldier from
the South who will be lynched,
burned, ridiculed or thrown in Jail
in the backward areas of the South
for wearing his uniform with pride
when he returns to the only home
he knows.
The correct view to be taken by
the American Negro is one of posi-
tive action. The cultural contacts
we have established with African,
Indian, and other groups here in
America should be broadened by
the power of pressure we might
exert through our state Depart
ment on these anti-Negro policies
of the British which cannot but
have a harmful effect as they react
upon us here in the land of the
Briton's white cousin.
Unless this unreasonable pres
sure on those akin to US by blood,
however distant may be the rela-
tionship, is relieved, we can expect
little in the way of gaining perma-
.nent advancement here in the
U. S. A.

WASTED MONEY

GeneraIly speaking, however,
most of the war wages have been
wasted On superfcialities. We have
squandered a great deal on fine
clothes, furs and jewelry, which
will be in the pawn shops a few
months after the artificial wartime
prosperity has ended."-George S.

MIXED UNITS FRAUD
'It now develops that the report
that Negro troops fought in mixed
units during the final phases of
the conflict on the Western Front
in Europe was fraud and our iubi-
lation over this supposed change
in Army policy was ill-timed."-
Pittsburgh Courier.
SHOULD WAGE PERPETUAL
WAR
"Color prejudice is not the only
prejudice against which a Republic
like ours should guard. The spirit
of caste is dangerous everywhere.
There is the prejudice of the rich
against the poor, the pride and
prejudice of the idle dandy against
the hard working man. There is,
worst of all, religious prejudice, a
prejudice which has stained whole
continent with blood. It is, in fact,
a spirit Internal, against which
every enlightened man should wage
perpetual war."-Frederick Doug
