1t can also be observed that our
advancement in the postwar period
must be based on the amount of
fear we can inspire, for without
such inspiration of fear of our
political and economic strength,
we can expect little or nothing.
This is still a white mans world;
the issues of the war today seem
to point to one of white supremacy
aside from the obvious necessity
of eliminating a dangerous foe.
In our case, this is still a white
mans country and all the talking
on the corners, in the pulpits, on
the radio, and in the convention
halls will not change that situa-
ton one whit until we prove as are
our men in uniform what we say by
actually going to bat, barring no
holds and giving no quarter.
To attain status we must at
tain respect from the white man.
Until we are willing to actually
fight, we will always be bound to
our present rating as wards" of
the government and with mo
rights a white man is bound to re-
spect."

Deeper Motives Behind
Eastland's Violent Attack
On US. Negro Troops

white man, regardless of whether
he owned slaves or not, felt duty
bound at all times to carry a wea-
pom. Slavery makes slaves of both
the victim and the master.
Which brings US to our point.
The South knows that returning
colored veterans are not going to
take lying down the same kind of
treatment they endured before the
war.
The South also knows that in
order to maintain the status quo
it will need the help of all the
whites of the South, poor and rich
alike. Each white person must be
a committee of one to keep the
colored man in "his place."
, So it was the job of Eastland to
build feeling of bitter resentment
of all whites against colored vets
by spreading his infamous false
hoods about colored soldiers en-
gagged in wholesale rape in Europe,
to strike fear in. the hearts of
Southerners, and put them on the
alert when the boys come marching
home.
In this way the whites are men,
tally rearmed with the desire to
lynch, a weapon they had appar-
emily placed in its sheath during
the war.
The spokesman of the South are
afraid that through educational
and civilizing processes, plus a
sense of gratitude, the few decent
people might develop tolerance to-
ward their comrades in arms and be
inclined to live and let live.
This must never happen and so
again we have the red flag of rape
waved before the bull of Southern
passion, all for the purpose of keep
ing racial hatred and suspicion
alive, and the races at each others
threats.
That is the why of Eastlands
speech. That is the why of Bilbo.
The fight on the FEPC was only
incidental and a sounding board for
their deeper motives.

II Involved In Accident
Motorists Are Warned
Whut Law Require.

Publicity concerning the require
ment for reporting motor vehicle
accidents to the State Highway De-
partment, under the new Safety
Responsibility Act, has temporarily
obscured some other legal "musts."
In order of priority, says a High
way bulletin, the law requires each
driver involved in an accident to
do these things:
. In all accidents, stop and dis
close identity. Render reasonable
aid to the injured, if any;
. If accident results in death or
bodily injury, notify Immediately
the police, if within a city or vii
lage, otherwise the sheriff;
. If the accident results in death,
bodily injury, or total property
damage to an apparent extent of
$50, make a written report to the
State Highway Department within
"a hours.
The driver of a vehicle causing
damage to an unattended vehicle
must locate and notify the driver
or owner or the police. The driver
of a vehicle causing damage to
fixtures on the highway, or proper
ty adjoining the highway, must
locate and notify the owner or
person in charge. If the damage
exceeds $50 the driver must also
make a written report to the De-
partment Of Highways.

Poor Community

Mems Day is usually one of the
annual features scheduled in Twin
Cities churches. Its counterpart,
Women's Day, vies with the male
observance. On these special days
men and women of the various de-
nominations cooperate in helping to
bring a crowd to the sponsoring
church. Efforts are also made to
attract unaffiliated men and wom-
en- to the church program in the

usually attract a larger attendance

BY Ralph Matthews in
Washington Afro.

Those among US who think Mis-
sissippi's Senator Eastland and
Bilbo made their vicious anti-race
speeches simply to win Dixie votes
or kill the FEPC are political and
economic adolescents. Their mo-
tives go deeper than that.
These men are fighting to pre-
serve a system. The South is still
a feudal fortress peopled with vas
sails and serfs exploited for the
benefit of the moneyed class.
Feudalism and slavery must be
perpetuated with force. Force is
not always physical. 1t can be
psychological, and the task of main
tanning an atmosphere of force is
the job of the Bilbos, Rankins, and
Eastlands.
1t is not necessary to maintain
an armed band of brigands, such
as Hitler created m his SIS black
shirt Elite Guard, to keep people
in state of fear.
Only a small percentage of the
citizens of Germany ever landed in
concentration camps, but the ex-
istence of these camps, with popu-
lar knowledge of the atrocities
visited upon the unfortunate, was
enough to keep a large mass of the
timid in check.
The Southern hierarchy has
cheaper and equally effective
scheme for keeping both colored
and poor whites in subsection.
They simply create a psychology
of fear in both races so that the
poor whites become the jailers of
the poor blacks. But in order to
do this, they must remain in an
economic Jail themselves. Terror
is the handmaiden of low wages
and exploitation.
The guard in the prison is the
natural and fundamental enemy of
the man who wants to get out.
During the days of physical slav-
cry, foreign travellers in America
were quick to observe that the
South was an armed camp. Every

Letters
Lieutenant Howard Wells
Gives Readers Glimpse
0f 0ccuOiod GaV-V,oou,


Hello Mr.. Newman: I'm still in
Germany, for how long don't
know, then TO C. B. l. It's very nice
here now, the country is beautiful.
Most of the small villages are
standing but the cities and indus
trial districts are leveled to the
ground. Food isn't so scarce now
otis summer" but this winter will
be very bad on all civilians. Hav-
ing been in England, France and
Belgium and now Germany I can
understand why Germany was so
hard to beat. 1t is or "was" the
most modern country in Europe.
Now everything is being stripped.
Every American has a German
trophy from sword to some piece
of furniture. At one time our men
were carting around beds from de-
molished bombed homes. We had
to make them stop because they
not only wanted to cart around beds
but started to adding other pieces
of furniture.
You see truck company has so
trucks, 124 men and five officers.
All the trucks had full loads of
furniture so there was no place for
the equipment. You know what
happened, the furniture had to go!
We have from 20 to 80 P. WIS
prisoners of War; with all the
time. They clean the yards, motor
pool, do K. P, make beds, mop the
floors, wash trucks, change tires.
These Germans sure work hard for
two meals day!
The Military authorities have had
hard time discharging the P. WIS.
Some of them have refused dis
charge three or four times. New
rules now make it mandatory for
them to accept discharge. Some
of them cry about it weeping
openly. They have no place to go,
their homes and families are gone,
and there is little or no food to be
had with not much chance of a job.
I've had a lot of people argue
about what is most important thing
in life. From my experience over
here think food is the most i'm
portant. Some of these people here
had plenty at one time, everything
person would want. Now they
would do almost anything for a
good square meal.
l really enjoy the paper. You

groes in New York, Chicago, Phila-
delphia, Detroit, St. Louis, Houston
and other cities have spent enough
money during the war making
needless visits to their home towns
to build several million-dollar apart
ment buildings. This would save
our group millions annually.
We have done next to nothing
during these war years to control
our consumption, and yet there is
no law anywhere preventing us
from comparatively owning all the
establishments supplying US with
food, clothing and drink, nor from
operating the wholesale establish
ments and truck farms which might
supply the retail outlets. If we did
own them (Which we could before
the end of 1916 if we wanted to-,

sheets, towels, shoes and hundred
other everyday items, the profit
from their sale seldom remains in
our group, and many of the places
of manufacture either do not en-
ploy our folks or confne them to
the lowest types of work. When
one thinks of the clothing, hats and
undergarments we wear, and the
barber and beauty equipment we
use, one asks how much of this
could we make and sell to ourselves
and keep the profits ourselves? We
allegedly make the best jazz music
and spend a fortune weekly on juke
boxes, but we neither manufacture
nor sell the records. We pioneered
with so-called Race records through
the Black Swan Company, but that
was twenty years ago, and we have
made no progress since then. The
whole music business is controlled
by whites, few of whom hire Ne
groes, except to perform. We need
no FEPC to curb this exploitation.
Although We are a group of agri-
cultural folk, we have no farm or
ganization worthy of the name to
help US get on and stay on the land.
We could own half of the Southern
farm land in a few years if we went
about it comparatively. Certainly we
could control our farm credit
through cooperative banks.

the exception of Palm and Easter
Sundays.

Last Sunday three of our dOmin-
ant churches held their Mems Day
services on the same day. We think
this is poor planning because each
of the programs had speakers
whom members of each of the
other churches would like to have
heard. Besides not being good
planning, it has another disad-
vantage. The goodwill between
congregations considered essential
to successful church program-plan-
ming in the community, is lost when
their various big days" collide.

Marjorie Curry's interesting

 Crosby High Schools enrolment listed at 1.S4l, has increased by lol over last year. Dr. Gilmartin re- ported. Wilby High Schools total stands at 1,043, an increase of 27, while at Leavenworth High School registration has dropped by B to 1,083, 1t was disclosed.
 Increased freshman class registra- tion was responsible for the net in- crease in high schools, the school head stated. The freshman class toals at the three high schools were listed as follows: Crosby. 469; Wilby, 365, and Leavenworth, 424.
 Asked how he explained the in- crease of pupils at Crosby, pr. Gill; martin stated the trend at Yale, Harvard, and other eastern univer- sities has been to g back to the l1umanities and other academic sub- jects, and he expressed the belief that feeling has infiltrated into the
