retaries Of the Army, the Navy
and the Air Force, the chairman
Of the National Security Resources
Board, and such other members as
the President may designate from
time to time.
While Congress was debating the
unifcation bill, there was much
talk among the remnants Of the
self-styled BLACK Cabinet" of ex-
pansion of the office Of the civilian
aide to the Secretary Of War.
Under the proposals advanced,
there would be a civilian aide to
the Secretary of Defense, and an
assistant civilian aide to each Of
the Secretaries of the Army, Navy
and Air Force.
The National Security Act au-
thorizes the Secretary of Defense
to appoint three civilian special
assistants to advise and assist him
in the performance Of his duties.
Their pay would be $1,000 a year
each. The Secretary Of Defense also
is authorized to appoint and fix
the compensation Of such other
civilian personnel as he may find
necessary for the discharge of his
duties. Whether he will appoint a
civilian aide to assist him in the
formulation of policies affecting
the utilization Of Negro personnel
in the armed services remains YET
to be seen.

The head Of this new establish
ment is the Secretary of Defense.
Immediately after he signed the
bill President Truman nominated
James Forrestal to fill the newly
created post. The Senate confirmed
him forthwith.
Appointment of MIR. FOrrestal is
a guarantee that, at the highest
level of the military establishment,
race discrimination will not be prac-
ticed. As Secretary Of the Navy,
Mr.. FOrrestal was responsible for
the virtual elimination Of race seq
regatiOn and discrimination in that
service. While in actual practice
the Army may be ahead of the
Navy in its treatment Of eOlOred
personnel. certainly Navy policy in
this respect Is the more enlightened.
Mr.. Forrestal is vested with the
authority and the power, under the
direction Of the President, to estab-
lish general policies and programs
for the National Military Estab-
lishment and the Departments Of
the Army, Navy and Air Force and
to exercise general direction. au-
thority and control over such de-
partments.
From the viewpoint Of colored
people these functions are i'm
portant. Mr.. Forrestal has an in.
innate knowledge of the problems
which confronted colored personnel
in the Navy during the war. II
similar problems arise in the uni
fed services, and it is likely that
they will because they still exist in
each Of the services to some ex'
tent, it will not be necessary t
convince him Of the desirability Of
their elimination. He already is OF
record in that regard.

Race Problem Not InsOlubIe
While l do not agree, a lot Of
sincere white and Negro people
believe that the so-called Negro
problem is insoluble. A lot Of peo-
pie feel that the South itself is an
insoluble problem and that there
are not enough people who believe
in the people of the South, or their
ability to go forward, to effect the
indispensable needed spiritual fu-
sion of all the people into a one
in kind, spirit and purpose. Hence,
they are sold on the idea Of bleed
ing the situation Of its material
substance and crystallizing oppo-
sition to the making of any real
progress.
This accounts for the fact that
so many young people as well as
Oldsters, are shaking the dust Of
the Deep South from their feet
and are going west, east and north.
This migration is a very real stu
alton. II should be dealt with realis-
tically and in n way which will
enable all gains honestly attained
to be held and to become the fOun-
dation upon which something
greater for all may be built.
If the South Was Farsignted
If the South was farsighted
enough it could shed itself Of the
fear of Negro progress, and see
in it the great purchasing and con
Stunning power that he represents
and the great contribution he could
make to the South's economic, po-
litical and social progress in the
next ten years so that ten job op,
portunities would grow where one
formerly grew.
There is grave doubt in many
quarters in the South of the ability
of the less enlightened white seq
ment to see possibilities along this
line. This segment sees in real Ne
gro progress a threat to its mo
nOpOIy on the sinews of good liv
ing. Every white man in the SOutl
Is being continuously told that h
will lose something If the Negro
is dealt with fairly. While the trutl
of the matter is the other wal
around, but a way Of living baseC
upon prejudice is driving theil
young people, white and black
west, east and north.

WHO WON THAT WAR?

One Of the hottest rivalries in
the armed services during the war
lay between the Regular Army's
professional officers and the go
day wonders"-the draftees who
became officers after 80 days in
officer candidate school.
The regulars" claimed the draf-
tee officers were softies who got
their bars in handout. The draf-
tees claimed the regulars were
dumb Dummies who couldn't win the
war without their help.
The War Department has re-
leased some rather interesting in
formation that more or less throws
some light on the feud.
According to the WD, Of the
902, 1000 officers who saw service
only two per cent were regulars
while 90 per cent were civilian
soldiers.
And, the Army says, the officers
who actually met the enemy in
combat were almost 100 per cent
from the civilian ranks.
But here's the payoff: Despite
the fact that they served mostly
in the "chairborne infantry" more
than IS per cent Of the Regular
Army officers have retired for
physical disabilities while only 2.7
per cent Of the civilian officers
even applied for disability pay.

Dear Joe
By JAMES L. HICKS
AS YOU WERE!


Last week it was stated here that
the 1920 Club will pass out of
existence two years from July rs,
last.
This statement was in error, and
the guys who were first to correct
us are the guys whom it affected
most-the boys who are still in
the service.
The boys who are still wearing
the CTS put up a helluva howl.
They pointed out that they are now
serving three-year enlistments in
most cases, that two years from
now they will be still in the uni
form, and wanted to know, what
about their unemployment compen-
sation three years from now when
they hit the bricks in civilian
clothes again?
The matter was taken up with
Paul Benedict, the VAS ace on
such matters, and Benedict said to
tell the guys in uniform to be "at
ease"
Benedict said the statement to
veterans that the 1920 Club will
pass out of existence in the next
two years so far as they are con-
cerned was correct, but the same
deal does not hold for the guys
who are now in the service.
Men who were discharged on OF

between that date and July 25

France Stands Firm
In Opposing Strong
Reich Government
ly the A,,asiated Pres.

BERLIN, Mar. 5.-France stood
firm today in opposition to estab-
1ishment of a strong central Ger
man government and declared that
she regarded as premature" any
consideration of such a proposal at
the Big Four Foreign Ministers
meeting which opens Monday in
Moscow. a
France is of the opinion that
Germany should be constituted on a
federal basis and that its decentral-
ization should be pushed to the
utmost limits" the highest French
authorities in this four-power capt.
tai asserted in answer to an As
sociated Press QUESTIONABLE sub
mitted on the eve Of the Moscow
conference. France sees in this
decentralization the only possibility
offered for development of a true
democratic spirit in Germany"
This question will doubtless be
on the Moscow Conference agenda,' .
the French added, ''but it can be
said already that under present con-
ditions France considers the organ
ization of a central German gov
ernment premature.
u. s. Favors Federal Germany.
This apparently provided a strong
reply to rumors that France in
tended to change her fundamental
aims for a weak and decentralized
German government and align her
self with Russia in seeking a feder-
allied Germany. The United States
favors a weak "federalized" Ger
many.
Answering an inquiry as to what
kind of Germany France enviSaged
in 10 years as being ideal, the
French said:
The ideal Germany would be a
Germaay which has abandoned any
desire of renewed aggression and one
that has no longer the means for
1t" and then added, parenthically,"
"(which would be even safer)."
Insresponse to other questions, the
French reiterated support for Polish
territorial claims on Germany as
outlined at Potsdam, up to the Oder
Neisse line; and said they wanted
the Ruhr basin-"for hundreds of
years an essential element In
the German war potentiaI'-placed
under foreign administrative control
for the sake of European security.
Earlier Demands Dropped.
They also said they wanted to
include the Saar in the economic
framework of France, but did not
envisage the political absorption"
of that rich area, since it is under
stood that the Saar will be political
ly separated from Germany" Earlier
demands for separation of the
Rhineland from Germany appar-
entity have been dropped in favor
Of a long military occupation of
that region.
The French said they wanted to
continue the exaction of German
reparations from capital rather than
from current production.
They disclosed also that the de-
notification purge of German ad-
ministrative personnel-after the
