BY Dean C. B. Hancock for AMP
Although the Negro has gained
his present hopeful situation grad
ually, there is a school of thought
among Negroes who disdajn the
world "gradual" and the kindred
word "gradualism." The reason
for the Negroes attitude OF the
matter can be clearly understood,
because gradual" among such
large sectors of whites NEAR al
ways NOW now" and evoiv+i M
means "never."
Yet however, much the Negro
may detest the word gradual, the
race must proceed gradually until
some way has been found to rev
olutionize the thinking of Amer
lea over night. We may despise the
word, but we are acting upon this
hypothesis even though it. IS pain
full to admit.
During World War IT, some Of
the more vocal anti-gradualists
came dangerously near saying that
unless the Negro was guaranteed
his full citizenship, he should de-
cline to bear arms in the conflict.
This writer was one of the very
first to consel against such course
and the showdown it would pro-
woke. He accordingly urged upon
the Negro not to force the issue"
by refusing to fight if certain
guarantees we're not forthcoming.
This counsel was based largely
upon the fact that the Negroes
strongest arguments for full citi-
zenship rights hinge about the
part Negroes have played in de-
Tending his country.
The Negroes patriotism has new
er been seriously questioned and
once the Negro serves an ulti-
matum on his country, he thereby
plays directly into the hands of
those who Glamour for his dis
franchisement. The valor of Ne
gro soldiers has disarmed too many
foes of Negro advance, to have
the Negroes loyalty questioned to-
day. Say what we will, the will
ingness of Negroes to bear arms
for a country that refused them

but we have hardly half dozen
really radical Negroes in this coun-
try, or how elsec an we count for
the denuncation of Randolph's
announcement that was so gen.
voiced everywhere?
The publican Of "What The
Negro Wants. was almost convinc-
ing proof that almost all Negroes

are conservative however they may
malign other conservatives or So
called conservatives. All Negroes
want the same thing and want it
equally as badly, although some

may advertise their wants in ways
to make believe that they want
something other Negroes do not
want, and want it more badly.

full manhood rights has armed his
friends and disarmed his foes. The
moral leverage involved in his
loyalty will eventually lift him to
his place in the sun. But when
the Negro refuses to fight, he
gives his enemies the drivers seat
in the campaign to permanently
subjugate him. This would be a
calamity! Moreover, the good
things which the Negro enjoys
even now, are worth fightin for!
But Philip Randolph was speak
ing for the anti-gradualists when
he made his momentous pro-
nouncement no full citizenship no
fight and strangely enough the
anti-gradualists took to cover in
stead of coming to his rescue.
This further proves that the Ne
groes in this country are com
mitted to the program of educa-
ton and enlightened public opin-
ion, rather than some desperate
attempt to have everything and
have it now, however desirable
such contamination would be. In
other words we hear radical talk

What will then be the destiny of
our workers, thrown into unemploy-

is committing a crime against the

Of his own Radical Socialists (con-

An Assembly vote was expected
tonight. Andre Colin, president of

Mr.. Marie urged France to in
crease production, put her finances
in order and obtain foreign ex-
change against the day American
aid ends. He said:
Everything must be subordinated
to the single imperative Of the moral
and material reconstruction of

Mr.. Marie then outlined the gov

into effect.
He said his government would re-
spect the six-power agreement to set
up West German government and
added:
I'VE will continue to seek solu-
tions, acceptable to all interested
countries, for the reconstruction of

Our foreign policy demands firm
ness without provocation, the safe

to just reparations, the pooling of
