 Paul Robeson's Comments
 Paul Robeson, noted singer, actor and somewhat a political figure, has really caused a lot of com motion by his worldwide statement that Negroes would never fight So- viet Russia.
 1t seems to me that MT. Robe son went quite a distance, in fact, all the way to Paris to make a statement concerning the Negro race as a whole. If MT. Robeson doesn't feel himself justified Tn fighting against Russia, l should say that he should keep his com com. ments to the singular person Although I realize he's a very pig man. I really don't think that h1s shoulders are so broad that he can carry the weight of the whole Me- gro race. Perhaps he is right that some Negroes wouldn't think or fiphting Russia, in fact, they don't want to fight any country :t ana this same feeling also exists With in the white race.
 It's true that we Negroes of the United States are considered the onnressed and under-rated group of humans. We have our Mason U;~nn line and our discrimination, misunderstanding, and all otner forces of evil prevailing here. BuC nevertheless, this is our nome, country. and believe me when l say that Negroes, who nave ooii9 their share in previous wars, Wouio defend their country just as gal. 1antlv now as they did then not only against Russia, but any otner country that would try to set fooC mon the soil of the United States.
 believe myself to be more right in making statement like tn1s than inc one MT. Robeson is so disnleased over here and he flnds Europe, and especially Russia much kinder to him, I suggest and m1no YOU, I say Suggest" If l were III his shoes. that's where l would go
 There is the possibility that the things MT. Robeson says and does are things he is really sincere in and believe are right. Perhaps he is criticized too severely. A man in the limelight as much as he, when making statements, exposes him self to having such statements cause sensations and be magnifled and perhaps distorted in meaning;
 There are many things that l do appreciate about MT. Robeson,, the dominant thing being the fact that he has the courage to say things that he believes in, and act accordingly.
 If these same comments had been said by a white man, perhaps
