volunteered for service in the army: They met
fully all qualifications for the work they chose
even in the face Of unjust practices Of discrmin-

Here is where effort is made to en-
force discriminatory relationships against which
every American must fight and where progress
has been made. Everyone knows there must be
discipline in the army, and WACs are part of
the army as any other group. Technically, there

ARE COLORED WOMEN
GETTING WAR HONORS?
WAC's STRIKE PROVES THEY ARE NOT SATISFIED
BY THE ROVER

A resent headlined demon
stration by colored wACs at Fit.
Deyens against alleged discrim-
nation is a torrid topic in Bos-
ton today. There are many an
giles to be considered and the
case cannot be ignored,
The very first fact t,oconsider
is that the so-called strike" was
not against Uncle Sam and the
United States Constitution, but
rather 1t was against evil I'M
American determinations which
do not belong in our form of
democracy, democracy we
have preached about at Yalta
and will again stress very hard
at San Francisco next April.
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1945-03-24

Thus we can clear away any I'M
patriotic detectives of the Fort
DeVens colored WAC'S. Their
patriotism is beyond any ques-
ton; their loyalty was never in
doubt.
A second important fact to
consider is the almost forgotten
truth that the wAOg are volun-
teers; they weren't drafted or
forced to serve in the army;
they could have stayed home
and taken life easy. Their status
is not the same exactly as the
men. Moreover, colored WAC'S
