These are the individuals who be-

racial and group prejudices. We
attempt many solutions with the

Historians record that while
slavery prevailed in all Is colon
les, Negroes from the north in
the early days of the Revolution
airy War fought side by side with
their fellow white citizens in the
patriotic army. AS the war went
on and the ranks of the army
grew smaller. an increasing num-
Der of Negroes took the place of
whites. In the army of George
Washington there was an aver
age of about so Negroes to each
battalion. In 1871 Maryland
raised $50 Negro soldiers to be in
corporated with whites, and Vir-
ginia in the same year, to her
honor, freed all Negroes who had
served honorably in her Army. 1t
is interesting to note that every
state, with the exception of
Georgia and South Carolina, alb
olished the slave trade during the
Revolutionary War. In fact,
President Harry Laurens of the
Continental Congress, himself a
citizen of South Carolina, declar-
ed that he was "one of those who
dare trust in Providence for de-

You cannot strive for personal
Justice and leave social justice to
the man next door; you cannot

conscience; you cannot go to
church and refuse to vote in the

mocracy and act as if the Har-
lem River were a tributary of the

NOBODY CAN SAY just what demands may
be made of MinnesOtas iron ore industry in the
years ahead. But surely everyone would agree
that 1--WE should all do what we can" to make sure
Minnesota is ready to supply the iron ore America
needs. This state can do much to keep America
strong.
You may wonder how the farmers, industrial work.
ers, merchants and housewives of Minnesota can
actually help increase the output of iron range
Yet, in a very real sense, all Minnesotans help
they really understand the iron ore situation. For
today before, the industry vitality needs
the understanding and support of every state resident
The time is nearly here when this industry can
longer depend alone upon open pit, under
ground, and the simpler concentrating ores. These
have gone into the tanks and liberty ships OF two
world wars. They have been turned into the auto
mobiles and luxury liners, the refrigeratOrs and
skyscrapers of peacetime.
Low grade ores, too poor to ship direct, now be-
ing concentrated in than forty-eght big plants
the ranges Beyond them the iron industry
faces the problem of doing something with
taconite Unlike other iron taconite must be
blasted, dug up, crushed separated from the waste
and then built up again into chunks pellets for the
blast furnaces.
It will be a tough, expensive job but il CAN
be done. And everyone in Minnesota can help
assure America of an ample supply of domestic
iron ore-by encouraging and supporting the i'm
mediate, full development of tacOnite "manufac-
turing"
Why we publish these facts
We of the iron ore industry want to stay in Mime
sota-permanently.
We want to insure the future of Minnesotas iron
wealth by investing the millions of dollars needed
to hasten development of lowgrade and taconite
We to help make it possible for the people of
Minnesota to enjoy greater benefits from this
expanded industry-both in dollars and jobs-for
many generations to come.
