Declared Secretary Wallace: Sol
diers back from victory are unable
to find homes. Good jobs are hard
to find. Some men and women IN
America are denied opportunities
because they are black, or because
they were not born here, or be-
cause they belong TO a church with
a small membership. There are
demagogues here seeking to con-
vince the ignorant that there is
pure race in America-that all
other races must be kept subser-
Went to a mythical master race.
IMPOSSIBLE" BATTLES
But we are. not cast down. Our
soldiers and sailors won battles
which could not be won. They built
landing fields with incredible speed
thousands of miles from America.
They turned rocky coasts into safe
Ravens for Allied ships. Beginning
in 1941 survey parties explored the
possibility of an India China High
way, which was needed to help
win the war. The experts agreed
that it was. an impossible under
taking. But sons OF American plO-
neerS, white and black, Christian
and Jew, hacked their way through
jungles, over successive ranges OF
jumbleda mountains, through fever
laden sWamps; fought tigers. head
hunters, and Japanese soldiers, and
build the Ledo Road. Nothing eX-
cept defeat was impossible for our
fighting men. No problem was
too difficult for those who won the
battle of production here at home.
Americans, many Of whom travelled
20 or more miles daily to and from
their jobs, built and one million
army trucks, 100000 airplanes, so,
900 tanks, and one half million
machine guns, and IL million rifles
during the war. Every American
had a stake in the war, and every
American must share the victory.
The people of our country who
performed wartime miracles know
that we can provide housing, that
we can save rich soil from erosion.
that we can live up to the great
opportunities, beyond all dreaming,
OF the atomic age, that Professionals
Catholics and Jews, native-bo-n
Negroes and whites, and all of the
foreign born can deal justly, one
with another, and live together in
peace.
We have made start, but we
have not gone ahead fast enough,
or far enough. We have yet to
achieve full employment at an an
nual wage"
VOTE RIGHTS
Every citizen cherlshes his right
to vote, and no poll tax OF other |
barrier must stand in the
way of that freedoms. A mans rights |
are not dependent upon the color
of his skin, his birthplace or the
name of his church.
Job-seeking Negroes have been
and are being denied jobs because
they are Negroes. Not only is this
unfair, but it is damaging to the
nations business. We need a Fair
Employment Practice Committee in
the United States and such a COM
mitee was set up by President
Franklin d. Roosevelt. This Com
mittee has been useful in hundreds
of cities. The Fair Employment
Practice Committee should be. and
must be, made permanent. There
cannot be full employment without
fair employment. The fight against
planners of World War III Is on.
The battle against bigotry, OPP
preston, and greed is our battle.

Points To Need
For Character
And Purpose
c. c. Spaulding
Looks Forward To
Next Generation

DURHAM, N. CAMP Com
menting upon the outlook for the
future as i945 drew to a close, G.
G. Spaulding, business executive
and sage, arrived at he conclusion
in All interview here this week
that sane leadership and strength
of character are attributes which
should be cultivated and practiced.
Looking forward to the next
generation said Mr.. Spaulding
who for a number of years was
president of the National Negro
Business league and who is q
member of the New York State
Chamber of Commerce as we'll as
president of the North Carolina
Mutual Life Insurance Co., what
can we hope for in the way of
character and progress unless we
of the present generation set tne
proper example for the guidance
of our young people?
NEED CONTROL
Eve need self-control and self
restraint, the organization of con-
structive literary and social clubs
organizations that will tend to
elevate rather than delnoralize.
During this age in which we are
living, far too many of us have
the wrong idea of recreating. Our
activities in this regard could be
more aptly termed 'wreckcreating'
BY that I mean, burning the candle
at both ends, sitting UP late at
night, imbibing to freely and at
tempting TO do a days work after
ward. The result is seen on every
hand: Death at an early age Or
broken and wasted lives.
IF we, as race, develop strong
men and women, men and women
who are prepared culturally, ply
sically and morally to assume po-
sitions OF leadership, there must
be revamping of our social pro-
gram. Complaining about proscrip-
ton, ostracism and discrimination
will serve no useful end unless we
develop the necessary qualifica-
tons to demand consideration My
experience has been that progress
and material success come as re-
suit of progressive thinking ami
honest purpose.

This early introduction of color

The other system. as yet In it,

Because of its inherent charac-

more space In the ether than black
