In publicity and propaganda, re-

men would get . great spiritual
good out Of U. N. 7. and that u.
NJ. 7. would insure the future of
this country.
II 10 quite difficult to reconcile
this double talk Of our Army and
lis leaders. II has promised equal
treatment TO Negroes before. Sec
ton "A Of the Selective Service
and Training Act Of 1910 forbade
racial discrimination. Yet this
clause was not worth the paper It
was printed on. Il was wilfully vio-
lated by the Army as n matter Of
policy and the violations were up
held by the courts.
The record Of the Army's treat
msnt Of the Negro during the last
war was certainly q disgraesful
one. The uniform Of the U. s. Army
offered him no protection from Jim
Crow in interstate travel. His uni
form was no protection against
numerous humiliations, lynchinRs
and other injustiees. He was sub
jet to the degrading experience Of
being treated as n second class
citizen by his own government that
eonscripted him In the name Of de-
mOcracy.
