Marching Blacks
BY Adam Clayton
Powell. Jr.
(Diul Press, $3.50

Auto workers, steel workers,
clearinghouse Notwithstanding
for economic, social, cultural and
political right-all humanity, black
brother, white brother, Catholic,
Protestant, Gentle, Jew, hand in
hand on freedom road, in this one
world during the Century of the
Common Man. A great book has
been written about how the black
Americans came to be marching.
Marching Blacks" is no ordinary
book. 1t has the intensity and the
sweep of the times-the atomic
age.
"The old Negro of yesterday is
dead. A new Negro has come for
ward. He is the test case for
American democracy. He cannot
be held down and kept in his place
if democracy is to live.
shall this Civil War be fought
with all the violence and fury of
our first Civil War? This is a ques-
ton that only the conscience of
white America can answer. The
Negro has discovered the technique
of non-violence, direct social action.
His resentment is keen, but it is
disciplined. His indignation is
great, but it is directed. He
has won every time he has fought
with unity and non-violence. Inn
plicit in this books appeal for
unity is unity of purpose among
Negroes, and unity with the mass
organizations of the people"
Powell makes an important OBJ
servation about the character of
World War II. 1t was not a white
mans war. 1t was a peoples war,
and it will never end until there is
a peoples peace. The very fact
that the Negro was forced to wage
a struggle within a war "a strug-
gle to make his contribution to his
own and his nations freedom and
victory put the Negro in position
as one Of the most potent bearers
of American ideals Of equality and
freedom.
The Negro had to make this
country safe for democracy, and
to keep democracy in the world, in
order to win it for himself: He
was ready to throw himself into
the struggle to make the dream Of
America become flesh and blood.
bread and butter, freedom and
equality"
A section Of the book is devoted
to the new white man, dealing with
prevailing attitudes Of such out
standing representative Americans
as the late Wendell Willkie, Lillian
Smith, author Of Strange Fruit, A"
and greatest Of all, in the authors
words, Eleanor Roosevelt towards
racial prejudice. The book also

deals with the forward role of the
CLIO and other organizations.
Challenging are the remarks Of
Mr., Powell about the role Of the
AL. the contributions of the lib
Grated locals" to use his term.
Powell feels strongly about his
subject matter. and it is impossible
10 read the book without being af-
fecrsd with its intensity, its pas
sion and its resolve. There is a
terrific punch on every one of its
PA pages. and a terrific challenge
for racial and working class unity;
there is. in fact, a challenge to
every progressive force in our
country. There is a sense Of ur-
gency as though we were las in
fact we arel in a race with time:
Win the fruits Of the anti-fascist
war. win the peace and security
for all men. white and black, or
forever face the threat of a new
war.
This seems to me to be the urgent
meaning of Marching Blacks" and
| would call it a must for all trade
unionists and progressives who
must carry on every sector of this
struggle, for FEPC, within the
framework of jobs for all, for
foreign policy of liberation and re-
spect for colonial peoples. A splen-
did photography at the end of the
book invites further reading on this
major question of American life.

SECRET by Henry Hoke. 1t sent
shivers up and down my spine. It's
a horror bOOk-it is shocking,
startling, gruesome. It's book
every American ought to read, and
particularly if he happens, by the
accident of birth, to belong to a
minority group.
We have already had our first
postwar race riot, and we've al
ready had our first postwar lynch
ing-beautiful postwar world of
plastics and racial and religious
bigotry and hatred. We thought
the war was over. There wasn't
even an armistice, ask Tennessee.
IT'S A SECRET is what is known
as a timely book. 1t appears when
descriptive forces are bubbling to
the surface after remaining rela-
lively quiet during the war years,
and Henry Hoke has a good deal
to say about those forces. He warns
US that the shooting is far from
over, and he more than just sug-
gests that the war against fascism
has not yet been won.
All varieties of hate groups are
at work in this country, and Mr.
HOke names them and describes
how they work. He tells US how
this group Of would be Hitlers are
spreading their virus Of master
race, and how they pour their
poison on Congress. And he tells
how some CongresSmen-nOt Just
the Bilbos and Rankins either
have become infected and are car
riers Of bigotry, intolerance. hate
Mr.. Hoke tells his story simply
and directly-but it is a dangerous
story he tells.
Henry Hoke is no believer in the
velvet glove or the gentle word
he calls a fascist a fascist, and he
cites chapter and verse to prove his
point. In this book you will find
many of our most prominent legis-
lators and public figures involved
in one of the most disgusting CON
coctiOns of political double dealing
and hypocrisy since the days Of
Benedict Arnold. He takes US right
through the doors Of Congress, into
some Of the inner offices and points
a damning finger at some of the
political "geniuses" who represent
the people-you and me.
But Henry Hoke does more than
just paint a hair-raising picture.
He tells us what we can do to clean
out these defilers of Congress so
that government of the people, for
the people, and by the people might
have a fighting chance.
This is a must" book. Every
body is going to be talking about
it. 1t would be a good idea if some
of us read it.-Irwin Lee Geatstein.

War Veteran Asks
What u. :, Will Do?

Editor: So many Negro veterans
are, returning home these days only
to find the identical situations still
existing that were holding Negroes
opportunity down to a minimum
before the war, that | feel it my
duty Y speak Of it. With that in
mind, and being a veteran myself,
| would like to submit the follow
ing thought:
The seventh day of the last
month of the year 1871, Americans
of every known race, color and
creed stood in complete amazement
and angriness at the bitter years
that could be seen ahead. Remem-
Der Pearl Harbor! The words
echoed and re-echoed throughout
this vast and mighty land. The
"Fellas" on the corner, high school
and college students began to dis
appear. Bank clerks, butcher boys,
grocery store employees, all began
to disappear from. community &C
tivities and industry.
Now they come back, weary and
tired of war, beaten and worn be-
yond imagination. Now they come
back, the white man, the black man,
the yellow man, the brown man,
and all the various races and reli-
gious denomination that make up
this democracy. AglOw in each one
is a flame Of expectation, but they
step slowly into the same rut and
grind that was theirs, and has been
theirs for centuries. The oppressed
sigh, and their flames of expecta-
ton begin to diminish to shoulder
ing embers of desires and wants
gone by.
What is your answer? What is
your answer to these people who
are being denied equal opportunity
in a country which is supposed to
be one nation indivisible, with lib
erty and justice for all?
Sincerely yours,
ELMO JONES.

The switch in sentiment concern
ing the party designation feature
is believed to be due to the fact
that both Republican and DFL par
ties have gone on record as definite
ly favoring partisan elections. In
his l943 message to the State

he would look with favor upon the
re-establishment of the feature
and other party leaders have ex-
pressed similar attitudes.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1946-03-15

There has been a growing feel
ing on the part of both Republican
and DFL organizations that they
are handicapped in building strong
party organizations because they
cannot rely upon the elected county
or state officials to serve as main
stays in the party machinery when
such officials are elected on a non
partisan basis. Party leaders be-
lieve that party organization is
relatively meaningless if 10 cannot

ton can be achieved only when the

Serious scholars Of political
science have long argued against
partisan elections Of State
Legislators because they feel this
defeats the whole concept of party
responsibility. They point out
that it is foolish to elect state
wide officers on the basis of a party
platform and at the same time elect
legislators who are not committed
to the party platform and usually
shy away from too open an identif-
cation with a party.

|Utuh Strike Settlement
 In Making

Announcement of a higher price ceiling for copper, scheduled by ths OPA today. is expected to bring early negotiations for settlement of the strike against the Utah mines of the Kennecott Copper Corporation, parent of the Chase Brass and Copper Company Of this city. The strike has been in pro- gress since January.
 Trade circles reported today a strike has halted output at the open pit mine of the Chile Copper Company, in Chile. The company, like American Brass Company of this city, is a subsidiary of the Ana conda Copper Mining Company. The Anaconda mine in Chile, a ma jor source of copper supply during the war, is one of the largest in the world.
 The new ceiling price for copper is to be IA 3-8 cents . pound, though the copper industry sought an increase to IS cents or more.
 Advancement of copper prices will probably result in another increase in the ceiling price for brass mill products. This increase will mean new price schedules for the local Big Three" of the brass industry.
 Settlement of strikes now in pro- gress would swell the supply of copper used by local plants in the manufacture of brass products. The available supply of the metal is now below normal at some major plants here.
