Limited Attention 10 The Negro

ton of keeping TO the middle Of the road, rec
ognizing an obligation to do something for
each group, even though the group be COM
posed Of Negroes. 1t does not seem likely that
congress will exceed him in any point.
Ii is probable that the Negro may get
good deal of attention thru court actions
All of us await with considerable tension the
pending decisions of the Supreme Court and
the reactions which will results.
Prominent reasons for the growth which
the Negro has made in recognition from the
country and from the various states are his
value as a labor and military resource coupl-
ed with his loyalty. Very few persons would
contend that the Negro is not an asset, that
his numbers and efforts have not benefited
the nation With these as a basis his own
leaders and fair-minded citizens Of all races
can gradually gain for a position of respecta-
bility and dignity
It Is imperative now that ourselves main
tain a wider interest in public affairs. As a
matter Of fact not just the paragraph quoted
here but every sentence in the presidents al
dress is Of supreme concern to the Negro.
When soldiers are sent abroad We are among
them. When atomic explosions occur, we are
in danger When the safety of other citizens
is threatened ours is in danger When the
value of the dollar goes down. we pay more
for everything. When taxes 60 up, we 60 up
with them. If agriculture and conservation do
not maintain a plenitude of food, we will be
the first to tighten up our belts. An increase
in the postal rates will burden us equally with
others, if not more, We are buying more and
more automobiles which must travel on high
Ways-made safe or neglected The rewards
and conditions and security of labor are OF
immense concern to us who furnish a mainstay
of labor Provision for welfare, medical aid
moderate cost or longterm housing, particf-
patton Of veterans in benefits, suffrage for
eighteen-ye r-olds,--all of these are of vital
and immense concern to Negroes.
We cannot look longer for consideration
because we are Negroes. The freed slave is
passing from the scene-in large measure has
already passed. The strength of Our cause in
the future will depend on the number of
friends we make The number Of friends we
make will depend on the degree to which we
study, and take sides on and VOTE on, the
many questions before the American people
today, in addition to performing our daily
work with dignity and efficiency,

Fewer than t-125 of the words in the ad-

Neither does the writer recall that there was
any applause at this point in the address of
the president, While these words indicate an
administration desire for progress in inter-ra-

formulate or propose any action for the in
coming congress
The words would seem to suggest that
the president will try to initiate no action 9th

In the armed forces, and other federal activi-
ties, and in the District of Columbia This is
limited objective but by no means an I'M

the national capital, in prominent federal ac-

es has been source of humiliation To the
Negro has gone far toward intoxicating con-
tempt for him in the minds of other races
and nations. and has lessened the faith of
much of the world in the value of the demo-
cratic way of life Remedying this evil has a
tendency To dignity the Negro, to give him an
equal footing with other races of the world
and to lend America an aura of sincerity
when it breaches the doctrine of democracy
Probably the president feels that if this OBJ
Jective goes over completely, he will have con-
siderable results TO point to, and can leave
other items in the solution of racial problems

The silence with which the statement was
received indicates that the congress probably
feels the same way. Although the president
received a round of applause every minute
and a salvo of approval when he advocated
penalties for traitors, he received nothing
when he spoke of extending simple dignity to
a group whose record fer loyalty has been
superior While there were undoubtedly some
present who approved the statement, there
