THE COMMON DEFENSE
By Rev. VIM. G. kernon
FOR ALL AMERICANS

Maj Gen Lewis B. Hershey, National Seective Ser
vice Director, has paid high tribute to 10000 American
Jewish Veterans of World War H.
"Our pride" he said, us not primarily in the fact
that they were typical cross-section of the and
women of America in national emergency Our pride
is in the fact hot in the days of they played their
part NOT as Jewish men and women but Americans,
They fought to save America for particular kind of
Americans but for oil Americans"
Eleven thousand Jewish died in the war 10000 9th
ers injured is all the proof needed to illustrate the truth
of these words.
Yet, there is more in the record showing that $500
Jewish men the service received citations for voor and
merit that the Distinguished Service Cross second
highest Army oword for heroism wos earned by 40
men of the Jewish faith that thousands of Jewish fom
lies gave three to the that 2oo robbs
one fourth of the total American robbnote served
chopoins that at least onethird of the Jewish physic
ans of the United Sotes served in the armed forces All
of this too is part of magnificent record made by
Americans of the Jewish foh, which America holds up
proudly for all the world to see.
What Gen Hershey soid about American Jewish
veterans he might just truly have sold about American
Professionals and American Catholic veterans, and 9th
e.s they fought to America for particular kind
of Americans but for all Americans"
It's by keeping America land for all Americans
of every race, every religion that each American in
particular finds his opportunity to live and grow For
of no other country may be said more ttIngy thon
of America that to survive to advance to be tree we
must live for each other all for and one for oll

Raising The
Morale Of Alcorn
College

1t was recently announced, fol-
lowing the making public of some
rather uncomplimentary condl-
tons down at Alcorn College,
that the institution has been gran
ted an additional sum of 100000
an amount which should go a
long ways towards correcting the
conditions recently reported as
existing at the college.
We can think of nothing, how
ever, which, would contribute
more to the raising of the morale
down at Alcorn than the removal
of it's present auditor; a conclu--
sion which is the result of con-
versations and reports of remarks
concerning the low morale now
prevailing at the college made by
students alumni, members of the
faculty and recent visitors to the
college campus, as well as the
opinion pretty generally held by
the rank and file negro citizens
of the state, among whom are the
prospective and potential patrons
and students of the college.
The presence of the auditor at
Alcorn is not proving a drag upon
the morale and spirit of the col
lege because of the real and ac-
tual nature Of his duties but rather
it is because of what is implied
in his presence on the campus
of the institution. The implaca-
tons being found in the easily
seen limited and restricted pat
tern of education now being at
tempted at the institution, and the
pretty general knowledge among
negro citizens of the state res
pecting the conclusions reached,
and recommendation and sug-
gestioms made after study of
negro education by the Educa-
tionaIl planning committee, of the
Board of Director of the Delta
Council, in July 1915 at Green
vile.

only necessary to uOte Section
Six of the recommendation made
at the meeting above referred too

The Phyllis Wheotey Branch YWCA has been asked

The Deep South
Speaks
BY ROBERT DURR
For the NNPA News Service
Youths Share In Building
A Better America

l agree with the great souls
who hold that our primary con
Germ today should be to defend
| democracy and preserve what you
and | speak of as the American
Way of Life.
Our whole idea of a society
founded upon basic principles of
freedom and the brotherhood of
man is being challenged through
out the world l need not re-
cite the record of those forces
from without which are threat
ening our way of life. World
events are sufficiently well known
to make clear what l am talk
ing about. But l think it is worth
talking about-what are we going
to defend here in America?
We can best approach this, per-
haps, by the process of elimina-
ton. We do want to defend our
essential Recommendations of
thought, freedoms of religion, and
the basic guarantees incorporated
iIf the Bill of Rights and in the
basic laws of our land. We want
to defend our essential decency
as free human beings. We want
to preserve our spirit of toler-
ance for all our fellow men and
we want to preserve and to
strengthen the securwity of our
whole nation.
But 7 don't think any of us
want to defend and preserve the
poverty and the despair of
third of our nation in the mid
st of potential plenty. We don't
want to preserve manners, Gus
toms, traditions, and economic
and social patterns that deny mil
lions of American citizens the
right to participate in their own
because they lack the
money with which to buy the
privilege of voting.
We don't want to preserve or
defend those economic patterns
which permit millions of farm
families to exc out bare ex-
istence on tired and eroded land !
and millions more to wander a. i
cross the country in WORKOUT

carry program to the people
until the teacher and the school
have put the knobs on their own
doors, panes in their windows,
and own houses cleaned"
Rosehill is located + miles east
of Magnolia in a progressive Negro
community. The building and the
grounds are we'll kept. The build
ing is of concrete blocks, butane

riched with offerings in home
science, vocational agriculture,
and tipping. Some thirty veterans
are enrolled. A. L. Coney is the
principal.
Visitors included Miss Mary
WhiteSide and J. ID. Boyd of Al
corn, and the Mates president
who reviewed the work of the
state organization. The meeting
was well attended. All sessions
were perfectly timed, proceeding
according to the program.
The 9TH District is developing
a superior type of leadership. The
Jeanes supervisors have ben Iarg-
ely responsible for the remark
able Improvements in educational
facilities in this section. Accord
ing to reports, the county super

Continued Growth

WASHINGTON, d. C. - Colored
business will continue to grow
and expand ms cope and finan-
cial stability in 1947, predicted C.
c. Spaulding, president of the
North Carolina Mutual Life In
surance of Duham, and other bus
mess leaders questioned in a sur
vey made by the Commerce De-
partment.
While the survey, initiated by
Emmer Martin Lancaster, special
adviser to the Secretary of Com

of optimism for business in 1847,
more than one leader warned that
the year will put war won gains
to an acid test.

Board off Trustees. 1t is our in
formation, that at Alcorn Col
lege, the type of Instructions is
not of the type that either the
Negro or the White People OF
the Delta want. The teacher
training department is not what
it should be. We recommend to
the Board of Trustees of In
stitutions of Higher Learning
that they select a laiSon man
whose duty it would be to see
that the proper type of instru-
ction would be given them.
The knowledge of this recon-
mendation has established in the
minds of students, teachers, al
umni, prospective studentS and
patrons, and negro citizens gen
orally throughout the safe, the
existence of "a LAISON MAN at
Alcorn College. With the rightful
thinking that education at the
college should not only prepare
for living in the Delta, in MisIsiss-
ippi, but anywhere in the United
States, the presence of a Laison
Man at the college, in the minds
of the people it is intended to
serve can only continue to reduce
its morale and spirit until the
