of the prohibition era in Chicago,
so long will the idea of the oneness
Of mankind lag and the moral lead
ership of the United States in world
affairs be tarnished.
The South itself also must
see that cOlOred people in the
South are afforded an OppOrtu-
nifty to work at decent jobs and
earn decent liyings. By raising
their standards of living, the
South will improve its economic
situation and improve its
schools, libraries, and bring
other facilities to its people
which the people of the North
are enjoying.
Beyond these matters, the South
has to come to a realization that lib
erty and justice are for all. The
civil rights Of colored people can
not continually be curtailed without
curtailment of the civil rights Of
the white people.
By tackling the economic prob
lens and its treatment Of minorities
the South may yet show the United
States the blessings which lie in
the realization of the oneness of
mankind and the "One World" of
Wendell Willkie.

Excerpts from Walter
Whites Article,
why | Remain a Negro

Suppose the skin of every Negro
in America were suddenly to turn
white, What would happen to all
the notions about Negroes, the idols
on which are built race prejudice
and race hatred?
What would become of their pre-
sumed shiftlessness, their coward
ice, their dishonesty, their stupid
ity, their body odor? Would they
merge with the shiftlessness, the
cowardice, the dishonesty, the stu
pidity, and the body odor Of the
whites! ! Would they not then be
subject to the individual judgment
in matters of abilities, energies,
honesty, cleanliness, as are whites ?
How else could they be judged ?

to hire and promote workers
solely on the basis of merit and
without distinction as to race,
color or religion.
Then, he himself could set an
example by making Presidential
appointments on the same basis,
or on the basis Of the political ser
vices a person has rendered or on
the size Of his donation to the
Democratic party.
He may require contractors with
the federal government to employ
and upgrade their workers with
out regard to race or religion. De-
cisions Of the Comptroller General
uphold this authority Of the Gov
ernment to specify the terms and
conditions under which it will do
business with anyone.
He can require hospitals under
the administration Of the Army,
Navy, Veterans administration and
the Interior department to admit
doctors and nurses for training and
for practice.
He can direct the Commits
siOners of the District Of CO.
lumbia to require that all pub
lie or publicly supported hos
pitfalls, parks, recreatiOnal ia
eilities, housing projects, well
fare agencies, penal institu-
tiOns and concessions on pub
lie property cease practicing
race discrimination and segTe-
CATION. There is no law requir-
ing such segregation in Wash
ingtOn.
He can also direct the District
Commissioners to hire and promote
employees Of the district govern
ment solely on the basis of merit
and without regard to race, color or
religion.
There are other recommendations
of the committee which may be put
into effect by the President or Cab
met members without Congress

taken in the specific matters point

II the adage that charity be-
gins at home may be applied to
leadership for bringing the
United States closer to the goal
Of human freedom and equal
ity, 1t would appear that the
President should first take ac-
tiOn in those matters where his
authority is unQuestiOned.
One recommendation calls for
Congressional action to end race and
religious discrimination and segre-
CATION in the armed forces. LeRis-
latiOn in this regard is only neces-
sary il the President, the Secretary
Of Defense, or the Secretaries Of
the Army, Navy and Air Force will
not act.
The President as Commander-in
chief Of the Army and Navy GER
tainly has the authority to order
the abolition Of segregation and
discrimination in those services.
(The Air Force is omitted be-
cause there is no provision in the
Constitution making him the Com
mander-in-C Chief Of the Air Force.)
Moreover. the Secretary Of
Defense, or the Secretaries Of
the Army, Navy and Air Force
may order the abolition Of seq
regatiOn and discrimination.
The President may have federal
grants-in-aid to the states screened
to determine whether, in those
states where race segregation is
maintained by law, an equitable
share of such grants are actually
being received by those segments of
the colored population which they
are intended to aid.
He can require the United States
Office Of Education and the Agri-
culture department to see that
states comply with existing federal
law requiring an equitable distribu-
tion Of federal funds between white
and colored land-grant colleges in
southern states.
He might have the govern
ment set the example in the
matter Of fair employment
practice. First, he can direct
the Civil Service commission
and the executive departments
