Mr.. Dave Klein,
Omaha, Nebraska
Dear Local Secretary:
During the week of February IL
to 18th our country will observe
Negro History Week This is 4
very important occasion. The bir-
thdays of Abraham Lincoln and that
great Negro fight, for freeom
Freerick Douglass, fall during this
week.
The American Negro has made So
many contributions to America that
Negro history is American history
The Negro helped build the roads,
railways and buildings. Important
contributions have been made to in
dustTy, agriculture and science by
such men as George Washington
Carver, to education by Booker T.
Washington, to music by James Wei
don Johnson, Marian Anderson,
Paul Robson, TO sports by Joe Lou-
is, Jesse Owens and many others.
The contributions Of the Negro peo-
pie are the property of all Americ-
ans.
Yet the Negro people in this war
still suffer from Jim Crow and job
discrimination and other forms 0,
oppression We have begun to real
ize that the future of American de-
mocracy depends on the elimination
Of this oppression and the complete
integration Of the Negro people in
every phase of American life.
We suggest that during the month
OF February, your lodge should ar
range some observance Of this week.
You may turn one Of your regular
lodge meetings into such an observ-
ance, or you could arrange a special
meeting on the history and problems
of the Negro people.
In almost every community there
is now functioning a local Negro
History Committee. Please get ir
touch with this Committee to help
you plan the meeting. Invite a
speaker from the Committee. In
vite people from the Negro Com
munity to your observance.
Where no such Committee exists,
get in touch with the progressive
Negro leaders in your community
Wherever possible a public meeting
should be organized. We also sug-
gest a film program showing the
contributions of the Negroes to the
present war.
In few days you will receive an
outline in bulletin form on Negro
History Week. You will also re-
ceive copies OF a special folder on
Negro recruiting. A pamphlet on
the struggle for Negro Rights, by
Max Bedacht is being prepared.
We hope that your lodge will put
forth its best effort in this under
taking.
Fraternaily yours,
SAM MILGRAM,
Gen'l. Org. Director

BY FAY BICK
Independent Jewish Press
Service Staff Writer

0C1 VIC 0I011 V44tO
San Francisco (JPS) = Among
the numerous correspondents this
writer has met here, she was
especially impressed by two wo-
men, gray, frail, ideal-zealous
French women: Madame Tabouis
and Madame Viollis. Close
friends, they do not fully concur
on what the new France, emery
ing now, should be like. Madame
Viollis is optimistic on the post
war world, while Madame Ia
bouts (call me Cassandra), who
so clearly foresaw the European
catastrophe of the past few years,
is gravely concerned about fut-
ure developments, but in no re-
spect defeatist.
Your reporter discussed with
these two women the Jewish
problem, and the hopelessness
facing Europe's Jewish survivors.
Madame Viollis was profoundly
sympathetic, almost on the verge
of tears, over the plight of the
survivors. If Palestine can re-
ceive them, then obviously some
thing must be done to admit
them," she said. But she was
optimistic on the prospects for
the Jews in France.
Madame Tabouis appears to
have information of her own
confirming Jewish reports of the
distress of the surviving Jews in
France, and regarding their spe-
cial economic problems. each
Jewish business has passed
through four, five even seven
owners, and any attempt to re-
trieve it arouseS seven people to
anti-Semitism, multiply this and
you have tense situation" She
is an old Zionist, and prides her
self on her friendship with DR..
Chain Weizmann, and her grand
fathers friendship with Baron
Edmund de Rothschild.
Also present, is Americas out
standing woman editorialist and
a distinguished friend of the Jew
ish cause = Mrs Anne O'Hare
Mccormick. Her recent cables
from Palestine were excellent
contributions to an understanding
of the Palestine problem, al
though her, conclusions may not
be entirely acceptable to the
Jews.
Mrs. Mccormick speaks through
the columns of the New York
Times to a large and distinguish
ed audience, including diplomats.
Madame Tabouis, Frances lead
ing pre-war woman. journalist,
writes for Pour La Victoria,
French language newspaper in
the United States, and Madame
viollis speaks through Ce Soir,
leading leftist paper in France.
AS a woman, I felt proud of
these three leading women jour-
