punche and means what he says.
He goes to the bat for his race.
AS a race we may take hope we
are on our way to the fulfillment
of the AMERICAN DREAM:
EQUALITY FOR ALL. All too few
of our leaders have estimated
correctly the cost of suffering to
themselves in leading an OPP
pressed people out of Egypt into
Canaan. In fairness it ought to
be said the modcum of freedom
we now enjoy has been pur-
chased with the blood Of our
fathers who suffered. Nat Turn
er, Denmark Besey and Monroe
Trotter, as leaders suffered that
we might travel the path Of free
dom. Many Of our New Leaders
may have to go to Jail. A Phillip
Randolph may be the very first.
His martydom would dramatize
to all the world our suffering In
a country, blind to her own
shortcomings but eagle-eyed to
all the abuses Of freedom in
lands across the sea.
A well-fed, craven, popular
leadership has fed us the flesh
pots Of Egypt but has not ad-
yanced us on our pilgrim jour
ney to the Promised Land. Our
SUFFERING LEADERS all know
well In advance that a crusade
to enjoy all our civil rights under
our Constitution vii entail much
suffering and hardship. To them
the risks of the wilderness is far
more challenging than the com
forts Of the inn. They will be re-
viled( prosecuted and stoned.
This was the lot of jeremiah,
Jesus Christ ard Ghandi, But our
crusade for freedom, is greatly
helped by fearless leaders like
Randolph and Grant Reynolds
who are ready to pay the price
to press on toward our goal:

''The Civil Rights Committee
did point to the basic principles
of American democracy" This is
the concluding sentence of an art
icle issued by the Department Of
Americanism, Veterans of Foreign
Wars, about the report of the
Presidents Committee on Civil
Rights.
The position taken by the Y.
F. w. rests on sound reasoning
and is undeniably correct.
The article first cites some Of
the recommendations Of the
Presidents Committee on Civil
Rights = enactment of federal

state legislature to outlaw "segre-
CATION and discrimination based
on race, color, creed, or national
origin on public transportation
systems, in public schools, hospi-
tails, theaters, restaurants, in the
armed services and in private
employment" = the necessity of
guaranteeing "the same rights
to every person regardless OF
who he is, where he lives, or what
his racial, religious or national
origin may be"

1947 are identical to the princi-
pies of democracy which our fore
fathers wrote into the Declaration
of independence ITO years ago
when they stated-'we hold these
truths to be self-evident that all
men are created equal = that
they are endowed by their Great
or with certain inalienable rights
that among these are life, Ii
berty, and the pursuit Of happin-
ess.'
Some Americans forget these
principles in time Of peace al
though, as the V. F. W. article OBJ
serves, We don't forget them in
time of war. because when
foreign enemies threaten our
rights we call upon every citizen
regardless of his creed, color OF
racial background = to help de
fend the same privileges which
the Civil Rights Committee nov
suggests be guaranteed by law"
We have seen no comment on
civil rights which evcels this for
clarity, directness, and sound
patriotic expression. The V. z.

for human rights in accordance
with traditional American princi-
pies, we have allies - among

A SUFFERING LEADERSHIP

Our leadership has long been
under the suspicion of selling the
race down the river. Our souls
long for that suffering leader
ship, getting fewer material
things that do not satisfy, but
advancing us some nearer our
goal Of striving: UNABRIDGED
AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
For this disturbing, insecure,
uncertain new day there comes
to the fore A SUFFERING LEAD
ERSHIP, unafraid to sip the Cup
of Hemlock, if by drinking, the
race marches on to the Prom
ised Land. We ought to thank
God for leaders, who stand up in
their boots, gaze fearlessly at the
world and speak out the hopes
and deep longings of their op-
pressed people. Let's strew palm
branches in the path of A Phillip
Randolph, head of the Sleeping
Car Porter's Union. He is surely
in that number of courageous
leaders, for it took CUTS for a
spokesman of minority group
TO witness against jim Crow in
Military Service and Training
before the Senate Armed Service
Committee. W acclaim him; for
he dramatizes our SUFFERING
LEADERSHIP by publicly admit
ting ne is willing to pay the
price. No one who knows him
thinks he is bluffing. He pulls no

out. But the order never has
been made since it was repealed
in Reconstruction days. That is
why one blames Congress and
why I can not place the blame
on little generals who can be
made or broken by Congress. And
these are the reports and views
OF a little guy who tries to write
facts, free of the hysterical en-
tons Of these times.

Washington Had Troubles Too

GEORGE WASHINGTON had his troubles too when he did his bit of founding and setting up this wonderful country of ours.
 The laying out of our Constitution had it's compro- mises and multitudnous loop holes which had to be rOned out through the years but the sturdy settlers of the original 13 colonies had goal Their religion and faith behind them in the founding of this nation built to get away from intolerance.
 They pulled together for common unselfsh cause and won.
 We think we have confusion and complications and political jams and we blame legislators for lot off, things we are to blame for ourselves
 Alaska's problems be compared in a small way to those of George Washington and his companions We having growing pains and political intrigue but letting petty differences and personal jealouses keep from pulling together
