I don't see how the working
class of colored people are going
to make it through life with the
mounting cost of living, many
with small children to I e d,
clothes, school and high rents and
not sufficient wages to meet the
demands and faced with the
problem of being the last to be
hired and the first to be fired.
No doubt there are children OF
this group as well as adults many
times lack the essential foods and
other necessities for good health
and the happiness of life. ]
think it's a moral crime to per-
NIT human beings to suffer such
hardships in a country as Ameri-
ca where there's plenty of the
good things of life to supply the
needs of every man, woman and
child in America.
An FEPC measure should be
adopted whether by local, state or
federal government to improve
living conditions of the low in
come group of Americans.

Civil Rights And
Civil responsibilities
Go Hand In Hand
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Intelligent people know that in
a human society acceptance of
civil responsibilities entitle you to
full citizenship status.
We notice however that civil re-
sponsibilities are forced on color
ed people by the ruling group but
they are not given equal benefits.
It shows clearly by the treat
ment of colored people that the
majority of the members of the
dominant group are reluctant to
grant equal justice to colored
folks.
In fact they have spoken out
in plain words time and again
that they are against civil rights
for Negroes. Then why force civil
responsibilities on Negroes? Yes,
colored people want first class
citizenship status and are willing
to assume equal civil RESPONSE
bilities but we also want and are
entitled to equal opportunity.
Take the case of commodity buy
ing, colored people are usually
charged more for what they get
than whites. They also get less
pay for the same work than
whites, particularly in this true
in the southland.
