traits of these three individuals
into one dynamic, compelling
force. None of this seemed SO
impossible as I dwelt upon it
from my sick bed. After all I
was simply making a compos-
tie picture Of the kind Of leader
the colored people need. Had I
been the possessor of that won
derful lamp which Aladdin
had in the Arabian Nights, 1
might indeed have advanced
from the dreaming stage to
something real and concrete.
Instead, my sickness came to
an end and I was discharged
from the hospital with no spec
ial equipment to make my day
dreams come true.

Anglo-Saxon peoples, or the
Oriental peoples-he will have
enemies.
The enemy abroad wore a
uniform and said "Heil' or
''Banzai. He was a tough enc
my but easily identified. The
enemy at home wears civilian
clothes and spits words Of in
tolerance. He is not always
easily identified. He is sly
enough to talk againstthe Jew
to the Italian, against the
italian to the colored man,
against the colored man to the
Catholic and on and on in a
vicious cycle. He is the sol
dier's enemy because he is the
peoples enemy and the soldier
has fought a peoples war. He
is the soldiers enemy because
he seeks to spread intolerance
in the nation that has led the
worlds search and the world IS
fight for freedom from intol-
erance. He is the soldiers enc
my because he would ration
the soldiers share in freedom
according to the color of his
skin, his creed and his race.
We at CLIO are ever aware
that the soldier fought the peo-
pies enemy abroad. We c-aeve
it is for the people to fight the
soldiers enemy at home.
We can do this by demand
ing a permanent FEPC.
We can do this by demanding
equal wages for equal work.
We can do this by demanding
equal opportunities for all vet
Grams seeking jobs, housing,
medical attention, education,
etc.
We must ask that the Con-
stitution of the United states,
c nceived in liberty and equal
ity, become a reality. We must
ask the man on the street to
search his heart for justice and
give us the answer.

No place is more conducive to
day-dreaming than a sick bed.
I discovered this when I was
forced to spend nine whole days
on a hospital cot a little more
than a year ago. The private
room to which I was assigned
was located far from the dis
quoting noises that usually dis
tinguish a large medical insti-
tuition. So between getting shots
of penicillen in my arm, I had
a grand opportunity to day
dream. Unless one is entirely
hors de combat, I think that
the mind is more lucid, the i'm
agination more vivid and the
thought of the individual more
spiritual than under any other
set of circumstances. My
thoughts were not unlike those
of our boys overseas, who, while
on a bombing mission or Ian
gushing in an enemy concen-
tration camp, recalled the
things that they should not
have done, and wished now to
do those things they should
have done. One enjoys good,
thoughts of ones neighbor, and
has hopes and ideas of a better
relationship between all man
kind.
My thoughts first turned to
Wendell Willkie. And I Won
dered how much faith is re-
CURED to refrain from ques-
tioning the will of God in TAX
ing this great man from us.
And then came on successive
days the images of others who
had policies for making the
world a better place In which
to live.
Some of these men are living,
while others have been taken
from us by the hand Of death.
But this did not prevent my
toying with the idea that the
aims and characteristics of the
strong men of our race, past
and present, might be merged
and transplanted into the body,
heart, and soul or just one of
our would-be leaders. For in
stance, I visualized the intel
lectual PHILLIP RANDOLPH
planning for thousands of
members of the race to move
on Washington, D. Q. to de-
mand the passage Of the Fed
eral Employment Practice Act.
The marchers were to be fur
nished by the dogmatic and
race conscious, MARCUS GAR
vey. The utterly unselfish Will

The fighting man has done
with war. He has been through
the impartial fury Of mechan-
lied battle. He has met the
forces of fascism and con-

Is there an American who

Is there citizen Of America

had the misfortune to meet up with people who had not
shaken the Jim philosophy; who believed that seq
