PLAIN TALK
By John M. Lee

is as American as lynching and
 Jim-Crow trains.
 Perhaps it was not intended that
 people in Europe and Asia should
 be singled out for starvation on
 the basis of their race, creed, or color, but that is the way it has
 worked out. The idea of allotment of the worlds goods on the basis
 of race and creed was developed in the American laboratory, and it has now become the foundation for the brave new world a'coming. American leaders talk of world peace, though they know they dare not sue too strongly for it, if it is to mean the end of racial dis elimination.
 Americas Leadership
 There is no question of Amer ica's leadership of the world at this moment. We have more dol lars and less physical chaos than any other big power on earth. We can make policy and dictate pro- gram for the whole world to fol- low. American minds will be the architects of the world of new hope and promise, and American wealth will guarantee that the blueprint will be followed. It is safe, then, to assume that the new world, will be like the old, though it's administration will Ee loosened up a bit to give the impression that 8 little more democracy has filtered through.
 1t is touching to read the pleas of the worlds starving citizens as they turn to America as the final hope. They will get food, medicine and clothing, but in the end they will be disi1lusioned, for America is not yet mindful of its own. Too many of us have been living for too lon on a diet similar to the one that is murdering hundreds in Europe. every time 8 minute is ticked away by the town clock Too many of us have lived too long in shacks and novels which we have had to share with rats and disease-breeding vermin. Too many of us have existed for too long on the bare hope that we would get a fair chance to work for the bread and shelter that will give us security and status.
 We welcome the starving mil lions of Europe and Asia into our brotherhood, though we have nei- ther the cause nor the spirit to greet them with tumult and shout ing. We are a quiet fraternity of patient sufferers. We can teach them patience and philosophy. We can teach them to still the anger that grows as the hunger pains sharpen, we can teach them to hide the seething rebellion in their souls behind smile of good hu- nor which they do not feel. We can tell them much about the curi- ous ways of American democracy, and we can tell them that the brave new world will be built upon our aching backs unless we up and stand like men.

MAGAZINE RACK
By Samuel P. Perry, IT. (Continued from Last Week)

| Continued from Last Week. The situation is no less true for
 the Nero soldier in combat, wheth- CT he is a Northerner or Souther-
 her. He knows of the ingrained
 prejudices of his white officers who
 refuse to eat or sleep with officers
 Of his color, even in combat; he
 learns to detect incompetence on
 the part of ANY officer, irres- pective of color, without the bene-
 fit of a higher education; he is
 not as resigned to the white of
 fcer's arrogance as some foolish
 ly think, but finds it useless to
 attempt any direct action since the
 officer can legally f1aunt command
 based on fear, installed by set-up courts-martial, to forestan any concerted effort to obtain justice on the part of colored personnel.
 What drives a combat soldier forward in battle against seem- ingly insurmountable odds is Pat ton-like leadership. Such leader in- spires each individual to do his share in reaching the objective. But, unfortunately, as the author Is compelled to admit, that was not the case with most of the 92nd unit commanders. Many of such commanders held their position on the basis of color, rather than ability. A white second lieutenant in. the 92nd was as rare as a frig- idaire in the Arctic Circle.
 Many colored first lieutenant in the division owed his promotion to the circular promulgated by the M Mediterranean Theater command which authorized combat promo tions to the next higher grade. Many such promotions were long overdue, according to Army regu- lations. The most fragrant example of white officer promotion was that of second lieutenant fresh from Fort Benning who joined the di- vision overseas in December 1914, made 1st Ut. in May, 1945 (and was made personnel officer al- shough he admitted he knew noth- ng of personnel work), and re- ;eived captaincy in September -945. For his gross ignorance of work, he received the Bronze Star for "meritorious ser ice in support of ground forces" md then, when it was discovered le still didn't have enough points o return with the division to the tates, he was awarded a cluster o the Bronze Star.
 Therein lies the crux of the prob em: incompetent leadership based n color, maintained by fear of eprfsal by a court-martial, we'll inged with racial prejudice, and erpetuated by clique of officers -ho would have been unfit to lead ther than colored troops in com at. No one in his right frame of lind can expect herculean tasks to g performed unless the enlisted ersonnel is inspired by good, com- etent, experienced leadership.
 In juxtaposition to the colored ,mbat troops the author places le Nisei troops of the 442nd and tes their feats in combat. do ot intend to minimize their eff 'rts, but the soldiers of the ePur- e Heart Battalion was never aced in combat without adequate 'tillery support, without compe- mt leadership in units or the affs, both S-2 and S-3; their re- acements were strictly infantry. or their sake, I am glad they ere never faced with a predica- ent similar to that of the 92nd en.

HOW NEGROES FOUGHT SPANISH TYRANTS

Throughout Latin America, Ne
 groes are getting ready to fight i.
 events require them to fight. They
 are getting ready to drive out o1
 their homelands, Spanish Dictator
 Francisco Franco's internationa
 ku klux, the Spanish Falange
 which seeks to re-enslave them tc
 the Spanish gentlemen" whom
 they fought continuously from Is.
 21 to 1898.
 Next week I'm going to reveal exclusively in this column how the
 Spanish Falange, represented by certain fascist priests in this coun- try, is trying to undermine their fight by trying to take over the Negro press in the United States. I have the dope on these gentle men and it's going to make them squirm.
 But, now, a word from the gifted pen of James B. Browning on the part that the Negro played in the liberation of this continent from the ancestors of Franco and his ku kluxers, now accused before the United Nations of trying to drag us into a World War III. MT. Browning needs no introduction to the readers of the Negro press and the following is condensa- tion of his article, "The Negro in the Hispanic-American Wars of In dependence" which appeared orig inally in that fine magazine, the Journal of Negro History for Jan uary, 1914.
 MT. Browning says:
 The story of Negro's participa- tion in the wars of the United States is rather widely known. Less clearly understood is the part played by Negroes in the ibera- ,ion of Hispanic America. In that area developed a larger number ,f Negroes than those within the imits of the United States.
 Long before Columbus sailed for he new world Negroes from Afri- | a had lived in Spain and Portu- ,al. Indeed, a letter from King Ferdinand attests to the fact that | hese same Negroes had formed controlled directly by olored officials. !
 It was only natural, therefore, or Negroes to assist Spanish ex- 'lorers as guides, burden bearers, nd interpreters in wild country cry much like Africa from which hey had been taken. This latter act is brought out in the records fet by such notable conquerors s Cortez and Coronado in Mexi- 0, Balboa in Panama, Pizarro in cru, and Valdivia in Chile. Dur ,g the col ial period Negro aves organized independent com lunities.
 Two developed in Jamaica under le leadership of Cudjo and Quao. he most durable of these was Pal lares in Brazil. But there were ss conspicuous, yet most signifi- mt, communities in Florida, on le island of Haiti and on the site colony located on the Caro- I na coast. , When the spectacle of the sue [ ,ssful American Revolution and e more far reaching French Rev ution motivated the Spanish \ mericans to strike a blow for in ,pendence, Negroes were among e first and most active partici- lnts.
 When San Martin made his pas ge through the Andes, 710 Ne .oes set out from Cuyo in 1877.

THE NEGRO NLATlN AMERICA
By Harold Preeee

In the same year on the plains of
 Chacabuco one of the famous bat
 ties was fought and won by loyal
 patriots. Mitre adds "one month
 later San Martin passed by the
 scene of his late victory and saw
 there a mound of earth under
 which lay the dead of the 18th of February of the patriot army, most of them Negroes from Cuyo.
 This mound was the first mark of
 the War of Emancipation"
 After San Martin had completed
 the War of Independence in Rio de
 Ia Plata, he watched the war of
 independence under Jose Gaspar
 Rodriguez Francia in Paraguay
 and the Uruguayan War under Jose Artigas. Still not being satis- fled he pressed on to Peru by land while Cochrane and his navy came by sea.
 In Peru the forces of San Mar tin drew plentiful supplies from surrounding country, took charge of their cavalry, and recruited their infantry with 600 slaves who be- came free upon joining their ranks.
 In the northern part of South America the population was made up of 100000 whites and Euro pean Creoles, 173,O00 indigenous races, 615,000 of mixed races and 138,000 of Negro slaves.
 Greatest Soldier A Negro
 Undoubtedly the most outstand- ing Negro soldier in the war of independence in South America was Emmuel Piar. About him there are IT references in Mitre's The Emancipation of South America. (Note: This columnist does not agree with Mr.. Browning that ! General Piar afterwards "be- trayed" the cause of independence. Some evidence indicates that this brave mulatto fighter may have been framed by jealous white of icers.) |
 More significant is the aid which Alexander Petion gave to Bolivia, and the liberation of slaves in South America which Simon Boli- 'ar gave in return for aid received rom the budding black Republic f Haiti.
 The very name of Haiti and it's leliverer, Toussaint Louverture, 'ecame anathema to the Govern , nent of the United States, which vas pro-slavery until 1861. This ostile attitude accounts more than , else for the failure of the United States Government to par icipate in the First Panama Con- :, ress called by Simon Bolivar in S26. Haiti was to be received and along with other na- ons invited to participate.
 Fear also of hostile action on lavery delayed matters. It was 2 nally decided to send representa- yes to the Panama Congress but P 70 late for the United States Gov r rnment to influence matters there. ne of the delegates designated c jed and the other did not go. t, Our attachment to the fortunes c slaveocracy thus caused the n nited States to lose it's first op- f, ortunity to establish and assume n le leadership of a league of D merican nations. a

PROVISIONS
TO LABOR

Perhaps one of the most damaging pieces OF
legislation passed by the present stupid and reac-
tionary Congress is the carry-back provisions
Of the revenue act. Under this law corpora
tons are guaranteed profits made in former years
whether the corporation operates or not: ms
is a simple way to express it. The Congress.
and especially the House, through this legislation
in effect invites large business to close down,
but the business cannot just stop operations Tor
the purpose of collecting back taxes to pay tor
their costs. so there must be some reason given.
either real or fictitious.
Consequently. when the members OF the
Unions asked for a raise in wages due to IN
creased cost Of living. the corporations OF the
United States seize upon that as a pretext to
deny the demands and stop operations. 1t 10
the most fantastic and treasonous gilt to big
business that any government in any time has
ever displayed. The government Of the United
States. through the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatives, has brought about the present labor
trouble purposefully and wilfully. Not one OF
the members Of either the Upper or Lower House
should be returned to Washington who aided or
connived in the passing Of this measure.
Let it be said again, unfortunately. that Mon
tana has the poorest representation in Wash
ineton. Mansfield straddles the fence. DEwart
is more fortnight. We know he is for the corpo-
rations. Wheeler is against MVA. He claims
he is for the unions and people, but his actions
don't bear out his statements. Senator Murray
stands alone, fighting v~aliantly, for the people
Of Montana and America.
