issues can be determined as
they arise under the general
agreement.
If only the Big Three comes
forth with some plan which
would cause the German people
to revolt against Hitler and de-
mand immediate surrender they
will have saved the lives of
perhaps millions Of young men.
If only they can develop some
plan whereby there would be
a ray of hope for those Ger
mans who are tired of war
many who never wanted war
this useless slaughter would
cease. The end is probably
near anyway and yet we dare
not hope that it will be ac-
complished without much more
military action. And every day
Of action means more thousands
Of casualties.
If President Roosevelt has
been able TO get the American
ideal Of PEACE accepted by
Churchill and Stain he will
find a warm reception on his
return

Making where the de-
History cisions reached
Tor about to be
reached) will become immedi-
ately effective.
If President Roosevelt is able
70 play the cards he possesses
we will have gained something
from this war. With the great
amounts Of war equipment sent
TO Russian since Germany at
tackled her in 1871 there is no
question of our contribution to
ward the successful drive the
Red Armies have made during
the past weeks. Russia has
strengthened her position by
administering the greatest de-
fea&s on the enemy. And
"Uncle Joe Stain" is not one
who fails to recognize his own
strength as well as the weak
nesses of his opponents. And
his opponents in this confer
ence are President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Churchill.
History will probably record
the conferences of this trium-
virate as outstanding events in
history. Centuries ahead peo-
Piles Of the world will feel eff
fects Of decisions made by these
men IN 1S40.
What is accomplished at the
latest conference will determine
the future of many nations.
Boundaries of many countries
will be agreed upon. Types of
government will be agreed
upon. And the probabilities
are that Russian will control
nearly all of
Future Peace Europe. If the
Is One American Pres
Objective ident and Brit
ish Premier sue
coed in convincing Stain that
future peace is the one big OBJ
jective there need be no great
fear as to the position of Rus
STA. But Russia has shown
that she has doubts of the sim
certify Of both America and
Britain. Stain is the strong
est leader in the world today.
in Russia there is no criticism
Of him and there can be none.
His critics were liquidated
years ago. What he says is as
final as the decision of our
Supreme Court. This, Of course,
is not true in either America
or England. Whatever is agreed
upon by Messrs. Churchill and
Roosevelt will have to pass the
hard test Of home consumption
and acceptance.
What we of 1915 have to
hope is that we have not re-
peated the error made by Pres
ident Wilson during the war
years of 1917 and 1918. Will
son has been charged with fail
ure to secure commitments
while he still was in a posi-
ton of Withholding support in
the war. Now, if Stain and
Churchill are satisfied that the
war is practically won, it will
be a much more difficult task
for Roosevelt to secure such
agreements as America wants
than the same commitments
could have been secured when
the going was toughest with
these two allies and when they
50 direly needed the support
which only the United States
could give.
However, if these men come
through with a general and
acceptable understanding Of
what the world
Nav Cause awaits future
Revolt generations will
In Germany revere tn cir
memory. For
there is only one object for
people everywhere and particu-
larly in the United States.

peal filed by the NAACP in his be-

tary of the group, made the appeal
before the discharge review board
in Washington at the request of the
local branch.

had to be the means for giving the
Negro, for the first time in more
than three centuries in America, an
opportunity to earn "a decent liv-
ing" Walter White insisted before
the senate banking and currency
committee that passage of the Muir
ray-Wagner full employment bill
would be the sure way to stave off
economic depression and at the
same time block "siister forces"
of hate which are now organizing.
The NAACP secretary, following
his testimony, heard both Sens.
Wagner and Taft compliment him
on "the fine statement you have
just made"
Only the day before John l..
Lewis, bombastic president of the
United Mine Workers of America,
had recommended to the same COM
mittee that the bill be amended SO
that local prevailing wage" scales
may not be longer used as a weapon
in the South for exploitation of Ne
groes.
White said $3.50, if enacted,
would clearly establish the respon-
sibility of the federal government
for guaranteeing an economic bill
of rights to all Americans" Sound
ing off on the desire of most Ne
groes to retain their wartime gains,
White saw only volume employ
ment as the method by which they
might utilize the newly learned in
dustrial skills.
He discussed the growth of the
Negro labor force during the past
four years, both in and out of gov
ernment, pointed to the 100000
Negroes who may be demobilized
from the armed services and added
to this force and observed that "if
they are denied a fair chance at
available jobs in the occupational
fields of their choice, they will have
just cause to question the integrity
of our peace aims just as they have
had frequent reason to doubt the
sincerity of war aims when their
interests were involved"
Lewis main theme called for a
shortening Of the work week, but
he took time to criticize the inclin-
alton to recognize locally prevail
ing wages" He considered it not
only unfair to the workers in linn
iting their opportunity because
these wages become a maximum in
stead of a minimum, but also un-
fair to industry and investors.
He cited the scale of as low as
10 cents an hour in the lumber in
dustry of Louisiana in the years
1933-1935, and said the same ex-
listed in Mississippi, Alabama and

Opposition To
Permanent FEPC

WASHINGTON - IS N s. -
Representative Robert RamSpeck,
D-GaD, home for a few days
vacation, Wednesday urged employ
ers, as a matter of self-interest. to
tecome familiar with the House bill
to prohibit discrimination in en-
ployment (the FEPC bill)
1T is the most drastic measure
yet proposed in the RECOMMENDATION
of business" said Ramspeck. II am
against 1t. for l believe it's high
time someone should say Let the
employer run his own business"
Congressman l2amSpeck said the
measure proposed a series of new
regulations that might keep an en-
plOyer in court half the time ex-
planning why he hired this person
and that. 1t has a clause that
promises endless trouble for county
and state employment agencies.
and it affects every private en-
ployer with more than six persons
on his payroll. Opposition to the
bin has been growing steadily in
recent weeks, he said, but it still
might pass.
