Dear Joe
BY JAMES L. HICKS

Dear Joe:
Are you a member Of the 1920
club?
It's not an exclusive orRaniZa-
ton by any means and a lot Of
the boys who are members don't
like TO admit it but, II the truth
must be told, Joe, the club Is be-
coming more and more popular
every day and, strange as it may
seem, most Of the guys who are
joining it have no desire for men,
bership.
You see, Joe, you don't have to
get voted into the 1920 club. It's
a lot easier than that.
All you have TO do is look for
a job for 81 weeks and pray you
don't find one while you collect
the 20 bucks n week unemployment
insurance which the government
allows US vets.
A lot Of people are complaining
because the 1920 club is becoming
so popular. They say veterans are
turning down good jobs and riding
the government payrolls as long as
they can draw the $50 per.
That's not true, Joe, and here
are official figures to prove it's not.
At the end Of February, l,l3l,-
304 veterans were drawing unem-
ployment checks, but only 10000
Of them had been on the unemploy-
ment payroll for the entire 81
weeks.
Although about one in every four
Of the 100000 men discharged
as Of March IL had at one time
or another drawn unemployment
compensation, official figures show
that they only drew the 20 bucks
for about six weeks and then went
to work.
Figures don't lie, Joe, but the
people who are accusing veterans
Of riding the government payT0lls
are doing u lot Of cockeyed fiRur-
ing to arrive at such a conclusion.
Any man who has been overseas
for two years or more will tell you
that it takes a veteran almost six
weeks to get acquainted with his
family all over again to say moth
ing Of going out and finding a job
on the veterans merry-gO-round.
Some of the people who complain
about the 1920 club are the very
ones who are causing the member
ship Of the club to swell. They are
the guys who offer a veteran
twenty-five bucks "A week and ex-
pect him to jump for joy.
There was time, Joe, when 20
bucks week looked mighty good

70 guys like you and me, ana IN
some parts Of the country it
may still look good today, but
II you are living in one Of the larger
cities like New York or Washington
or Philadelphia and q guy offers
you $25 q week, all ! can say is
welcome to the 1920 club-and If
that be treason make the most Of il!
By the time your taxes are de-
Quoted you will only net about $22
out Of the 26 and il doesn't
make sense TO ask q man TO work
all week for % bucks when he can
stay in bed and sleep and make 20.
That's a rugged way to talk
about our American way Of life,
and a lot of people will say that
you should take the job anyway
because it is permanent, but here
is an argument for them on that
score.
Right now the Supreme court has
before il q case which contests the
right Of a veteran to stay on his
old job over the seniority Of a nom
veteran. The Justice Department
is contending that a veteran has
the right TO get his old job back
and stay on it at least a year before
he is laid of, but the CLIO say 1t
amt so.
When you sailed away, Joe,
everybody said your job would be
waiting with no strings attached,
but now that you are back we have
to call on the Supreme Court TO
interpret what everybody meant
when they said that. All that kind
Of stuff helps to swell the rolls Of
the 1920 club.
The veteran is well on his way
to becoming the forgotten man
and if he is to be forgotten, he
might just as well join the 1920
club and have $50 a week to re-
member the world by.
Don't take my word for his be-
ing the forgotten man, Joe. Take
the word OF Major General G. B.
Erskine, administrator of the Re-
training and Unemployment Admin
istration, who said last Tuesday at
Oklahoma City:
The advisory center is so i'm
portant, If properly operated 1t will
solve a majority Of veteran and
community problems. E. You may
realize the seriousness of these re-
marks il | tell you that Of some
$4,000 communities in America
only about 1000 have established
advisory and information centers
for veterans"
Maybe the other $4,000 communi-
ties forgot they needed a center.
Don't join the 1920 club unless
you have to, Joe, but II it is forced
on you be a good member, pal.
Yours in the service,
JIM.

Enoc Waters, the Chicago De-
fender war correspondent, Is the
source of this item which illustrates
the folly Of the white man in ex'
tending race segregation.
After Lieutenant General Viii.
helm Styer became the command.
ing general of the Army Forces in
the Western Pacific a ban was i'm
posed on inteTracial recreation.
There were white and colored
American soldiers and White Wacs
in the Philippines. The white Wacs
were comparatively few in number
But there were plenty Of Filipino
women.
Filipinos are Malayans, who are
considered ofFshoots Of the Mon
golian race and not Aryans within
Hitler's definition.
So, the Army solved the problem
by having dances for white SOL
diers on one night and for the COL
ored soldiers on the next night. The
white soldiers would take the Flip
mo girls to their dance. and the
next night the colored soldiers
would take the same girls.
When it came to use Of the swim
ming pool, the white soldiers used
II one day and the colored soldiers
the next. The pool was then emp
tied. cleaned and refilled. and was
used by the Wacs the next day.
On Sundays there was a mixed
splash-party-for white soldiers
and Filipino girls.
Ian Ross MacFarlane, a radio
commentator over local station
WWDC, the other night said:
"One million Negroes were quail
flied Ia by their draft board; but
when they came back home with
honorable discharges they find that
they're not la; they're not 4-F;
they're not 5-F: they're just N. G.;
that is, No Good.
Yes, that's the unfortunate man
ner in which some Of these honor
ably discharged veterans are re-
garded by employers. Now. that
just isn't playing the game on the
level, and we hope that due to the
focusing Of national attention on
this fact this week that many po-
tential employers Of these men will
see in them the opportunity to en-
ploy as fine a type Of American
as Uncle Sam found that he was in
the war effort"

will be W. J. Mckcnna. " ClOquet.
Resolutions endorsing him were
adopted by more than 70 counties
