THE POET BLACK MINSTRELSY (By Ricardo Weeks for the ANP) Play on your guitar for me, black man, I’d love to hear you swing; And love to hear you sing; So strum up a tune, you can. You can play jazz or spiritual, And now you can pven play classical, . But I’d much prefer to hear you swing, So play your guitar and sing. They say that you were born to play music, And* also born to dance. So play for me and prance; Oh, come, take your guitar and pick! What, you refuse to play and and dance? Oh, it’s money you want. Well,' here you are. Now pick them strings on your old guitar.

MORE OPPORTUNITIES SOUGHT FOR LOYAL CITIZENS TO BLOCK EFFORTS OF ENEMIES, SABOTEURS

LOVE SONG (By Langston Hughes for ANP) Her teeth are as white As the meat of an apple, Her lips are like Dark rip plums. I love her. Her hair is a midnight mass, A dusky aurora. I love her. Because her skin Is the brown of an oak leaf In autumn. But a softer color, I want to kiss her.

SONNET (By John McAliley Boyd for ANP) When Time suspends the circle of her flight. And all the senses call the sea of thought, A galleon floats across the endless sight Unsure of course through every sheet is taut.

And like this ship your Time has been the. slave ! Of one small fault gigantic in your mind. Sometimes the Fates forgive the lowest knave And even you may And the fates are kind. A thing of worth is always gained through care. True happiness rejoices those who dare.

By Emmett J> Scott WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Gov : ernment is seriously concerned with respect to sabotage groups, composed mainly of alien enemies, whose sympathies lie with the Axis powers. The Federal Board of Investigation and the U. S. Department of Justice are alert to capture and convict such individuals as may be seeking to aid Germany, Italy and Japan by hindering the productive processes of our war preparation, or otherwise seeking to destroy Federal property, public utilities, hadbors, docks and terminals. factories and munition plants, shipyards and railroad approaches to our centres of population and productive Industrial areas. 68,368 cases of this character, i elating to national defense, were called to the attention of the Government during 1941, compared with 16,855 in 1940, and an average of 35 in the five years before 1938. A record Total of 6.182 convictions was secured during the year just ended. Counter espionage activity is constantly at work to checkmate and prevent the successful prosecution of nefarious, subversive, un-American practices, including and epidemic of fires and explosions in vital defense centers. Deadly Work Being Done. Unfortunately there are other groups, saboteurs of morale, who are doing an even more deadly piece of work. These groups, by harassments of various and sundry kinds, are engaged in fomenting racial discriminations and persecutions, and otherwise contributing to apathy and weakening national unity among the harassed and persecuted. Evidence to this effect is multiplying. So much so that President Roosevelt felt compelled, in his Report on the State of the Union, before the Congress of the United States last week, to declare: ”We must guard against division among ourselves. We must be particularly vigilant against racial discrimination in all of Its ugly forms.” These manifestations appear in various forms—In Government itself, right here in Washington, and throughout the nation. Mainly, these manifestations and ugly forms of discrimination are aimed particularly at Negroes, men and women who are citizens of the Republic, because of their color, and at others, because of their race and religion. These discriminatory manifestations run the full gamut of nearly every unfair and unjust procedure that can (be conjured up to deny them full and fair participation in Government, in defense In-

dustry, in Army and Nary Organization, and in practically all of the normal activities of every-day life. Greater Opportunities For Negroes Urged. The President is not alone In inveighing against these ugly forms and manifestations of discrimination. Joseph W. Martin. Jr., chairman of the Republioan National Committee, and Republican Leader of the U. S. House of Representatives, in a public statement has called upon men of his party in defense industry and In politics “to widen opportunities for the employment of Negroes without discrimination,” and “to provide greater opportunities for them in public service.” _ Mr. Martin has also called for a re-afflrmatlon of faith in our Charter of Human Liberty which definitely guarantees equal rights to every man, woman and child regardless of race, color, or creed. And, for a firm resolution that, in the critical years ahead; we shall not permit the sacred, rights of man in free America to perish. National Negro Organizations Speak Out. Also, in New York City last week, 70 delegates representing 18 national Negro organizations in conference declared that the “efficiency of the Armed Services of the Government is being impaired by the barring of Negroes from certain types of service;” that apathy and lack of cooperation, because of discriminatory practices, at present exist among the Colored people: and that “whole-hearted, unselfish, all-out support is not being given the present war effort," because the Government itself, by all its segregation, separations and discriminations ,4s contributing to their discouragement, and depriving them of that confidence in their Government they should have if they are to make their best contribution toward winning the war. This Negro group Is thoroughly loyal to the Institutions of the United States, and to our cause in the war. They have given their all to this country — the only one they know—in the Revolutionary Wars, the Civil War. the Spanish American War, and World War I. They are aware of the feeling against them. They cannot understand It. That is why they are baffled and bewildered. , The Saboteurs of Morale should desist. We need now, of all times, a completely united, unified effort to triumph over those who would destroy our Government and Its institutions. Those who love their country, and Its Institutions and Its Ideals, and who are willing to fight and die for democracy, as defined in our Constitution aild the Bill of Rights, and who hitle and despise dictators and dictatorships, deserve fairer consideration and treatment than is now theirs.

MITCHELL ADDRESS TO HOUSE URGES FAIRER TREATMENT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. (ANP) —Continuing his work toward better understanding racially, Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell again addressed the house in praise of the Negro and asked for better treatment for all. Mr. Mitchell said in part: “I wish to call the attention of the house to the fact the first blood that was shed on Philllpine soil in this conflict was that of a member of my own race. The first American soldier in the armed forces to give his life after our declaratior of war on Japan was Pvt. Robert H. Brooks, who was killed neai Fort Stotsenburg in the KdlipineF Dec. 8. He was the son of Negrr sharecroppers living near Sadie ville, Ky. In bis honor the parade ground at Fort Knox h’as beer named Brooks field and when the Stars and Stripes are lowered to half staff in impressive ceremony nine generals stood in tribute. “It pains me greatly when I heui men stand in this hall and say that this is a war to extend or to, uphold white supremacy. I dr not believe it is a war for such purpose. This is a war to uphold righteousness and to uphold men of character whether they -be blacl men or white men and my people have gone forward and are giving and will give to the end and the last full measure of devotion that this nation, this race and this government all might live. “While the heads of the Ameri can nation and the British nation are holding conferences to determine what their respective nations and the world are to get out of this conflict, it is proper and necessary for the American Negro to ask the simple question, ‘What can America’s largest and most loyal minority group expect to get out of the conflict?’ “It is true that we are preaching democracy from the house top and from every platform, but it is equally true that there is a largie element of American refusing to .practice democracy where the interest and welfare of the Negro is concerned. “I wish to call attention to the lynching of a Negro in the state of Missouri last Sunday morning at. the very moment when Negro soldiers under the brillian leadership of Gen MacArthur were fighting and dying to hold the American line in the Philippines. “I wish to say to this congress that the American Negro has earned and deserves better than he is getting from this government, and in our commercial and industrial setup. How long will the Negro be denied equal protection and equal opportunity und-er our law* and in our country which he loves and defends with his life?” Here Mr. Mitchell introduced an editorial from the St. Louis Argus on “The Negro’s Place in the Army’ and “Two American Heroes.”

RED CROSS CALLS PREJUDICE *A SYMBOL OF DEMOCRACY* NEW YORK. — The American Red Cross has stated that it not only does not want, but does not need the blood of Negro donors for wounded sailors and soldiers. It did not stop there, but declared that Individual prejudices should he respected as a symbol of democracy. In a letter to Dr. E. R. Alexander of this city, December 30, S. Sloan Colt, Director of the Red r 'ross War Drive states: “Tffe Red Cross is now able to obtain from white donors enough blood to keep ill the processing plants fully ocupied so that the total amount of Mood plasma available to the arm'd forces is not lessened by our ’inability to accept Negro donors”. The letter, which Dr. Alexander has referred to the NAACP was ’n answer to a protest from him ibout the Red Cross policy. The NAAOP pointed out the ir>ny in Colt’s statement attempting n explain the policy. ,. After admitting that there is no •cientiflc basis for objections to 'ransfusions of the blood of Ne:roes, he said: “It seems that the "eelings and perhaps even the prejudices of individuals to whom transfusions are given should be respected as a symbol of democracy**.

TELL SOLDIERS OF INSURANCE PROTECTION

DURHAM. X. C. Feb. 13. (ANP) “In view of the fact that our boy? are being called upon to assume the responsibilities of citizenship in defense of our country and certain services, privileges and programs have been initiated by our govern ment in behalf of those enlisted in military service, it appears to me that no stone should be left unturned in informing these hoys of the referred to services, privileges and programs so that they and their relatives may fully par ticipate therein, and to the snmt degree as those of the other group who probably are being better informed than ours” so read a communication from A. T. Spaulding, president National Negro Insurance association, last Sunday Specifically, the insurance head was speaking of thep residentially approved joint resolution of the 77th congress which made provisions for every person inducted into mil Unry services to participate in a 510.000 national service life insiir ince. According to Mr. Spaulding too few of the Negro soldiers have ivailed themselves of the privilege of securing this insurance. Ac- ] •ording to Mr. Spaulding, too few of the Negro soldiers have availed themselves of the privilege of securing this insurance. A vast number seem to know very little ibout it. others know of it but do not know how to go about securing it. while still others are not awakened to the value of the insurance and hence seem very little

concerned about it.

Joint resolution No. 05. 77th congress, known as Public No. 213 nr Service Extension act of 1011. together with subsequent amendments or executive o r d e rs by the President, provides that every per--fon inducted into service be granted the privilege of applying for the 810.000 national service life Insurance. on condition that it is ap olied for within 120 days. Tht "ost of the insurance is less than that charged by private companies. Mr. Spaulding, stated, “It strike* me as having been a responsibility of our government, our press and mir civic and religious leaders to have seen that no boy inducted into our armed services should nl’ow this opportunity to get the in- * u r a n c e pass without becoming thoroughly familiar with this government insurance program. Thesf* boys are called upon to leave nml give up many of the things which

them, to offer their lives in the defense of our country and our homes whenever and wherever necessary. Most of them are lacking in experience and appreciation of the value of life insurance. “Some of these boys will be killed in action, others will die from disease, while others will be maim ed for life as a result of military or naval services. Many of them will have no other insurance aud will never again be able to secure other insurance. Some who have insurance with private companies will find their coverage under those policies limited considerably. Sadder will be the lot of the relatives and loved ones of those boys who make the supreme sacrifice with government insurance than will le those who have it”. President Spaulding further urged that a program be instituted to acquaint the various Negro troops, their relatives and loved ones, with the services, privileges and facilities afforded by the government for their welfare in order that thej might be beneficiaries thereof. Full particulars concerning this military insurance is given by the Administration of Veterans affairs, Washington. *

ASKS JUSTICE AS PRACTICE OR TALK VAIN

NEW YORK. Feb. 13. (ANP) — “Unless the pattern of interracial justice be made to stand out as clear as the pattern of prejudice, to be as tangible, as zealously and consistently sponsored, our talk is largely in vain. In these words the Rev. John LaFarge, S. J concluded his article in the current issue of “America,” a Catholic -weekly review, in which he takes to task those white who profess a liberal attitude toward the Negro but cast doubt upon their own piousness and Christian spirit by acts Inconsistent with such an attitude. Some of< the questions Father LaFarge puts to his readers are: Why be surprised at the presence of crime and disorder In a neighborhood when all the factors are present that encourage crime and disorder in any group of people, of any race or nationality? How can our (the Catholic) religion be truly supennatdnal, how can we claim to possess or practice the fullness of Christian charity, when we are not concerned with the social and with the frankly economic conditions in which individual families are compelled to work out their salvation?

STIMSON PLAN HAS 175,000 IN NEW ARMY

WASHINGTON. Fib. 13. (ANP) In the new army planned by the war department, there will be units totaling 175 000 Negroes, Secretary of War Stimson revealed at a press confeience Thursday morning. The 175,000 will be in addiUon to the 118,000 already in service. Included in this number will be an entire new division which will be in addition to the one already planned and known as the 93rd division and, according to the secre tary, will include every branch of the military units now operating. The number of Negroes to be inducted this current year is based upon the overall increase in the aimy and the percentage of colored to white registrants. Due to the present existing shortage in housing facilities, it is probably that this increase will be distributed rather lightly in the early months of the year, but will increase materially during the late spring when construction projects will have been completed. The Negro selectees thus inducted into the army will he distributed to the various units of the armed forces and service fortes, according to the secretary. Plans for the new division are in the formative stage at present and nothing positive has been developed, but it is definite that there will be another Negro division and as soon as the troops are traincl they will be transferred to this new unit. Also under way are plans for the training of 30,000 new pilots to keep pace, the secretary said, with the huge increase in the air forces. No indication of any additional Negro pilots has been given, although it has been previously said there would be about 2,000 Negro pilots when plans were completed for their training. The question of -Negro officers for the new units was not touched upon, although it is believed that there will be Negro officers for the new division, just as it is anticipated that Negro officers will command the division under present consideration. It is understood that a large number of Negro officers are to be trained in the regular army schools.

SOLDIER WINS HEROISM AWARD

PITTSBURGH. Feb. 13. (ANP) The Carnegie Hero F’und commission announced at its 38th annual meeting here last Wednesday that out of the 18 awards made for acts of heroism, one went to a 21-year-old Negro soldier, Pvt. Arthur King, Company C, Ninth Quartermaster regiment, Camp Lee, Petersburg. Va., who saved Mrs. Ethel C. Johnson, 21, of Pittsburgh from drowning last year. The report of the commission states on last Sept. 21. Mrs. Johnson pulled herself upon a bridge railing, 43 feet above the Allegheny river and dropped into deep water. King, observing her, removed his clothing, dived from the railing and swam 10 feet to Mrs. Johnson who took hold of his wrist. Supporting her with one arm. King swam 265 feet to shallow water. After the rescue. King was fatigued, his nose bled slightly and his body was sore for a week.

OMAHA. Feb. 13. (ANP) “It is indeed distressing that a group of white Americans in these perilous times denies a group of black Americans the riebt. to work,” said John Newton, secretary of the painters division of the North Side Building and Trade Council here last week Mr. Newton was referring to the AFL International Painters and Decorators Union of America and their refusal to admit Negro painters of Omaha to either join the local union or to be granted a charter through the executive painters’ council here. For over two years, admission to the union has been sought by Negro painters, to no avail. Conferences were held with Interna^ tional Organizer Joseph L. Gross, letters were sent to President William L. Green, of the AFL, President L. P. Lindelof of the international, the OPM and FEPC, and to A. Philip Randolph and Milton P. Webster of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. According to Mr. Newton, the Fair Employment Practices Committee sent Theodore R. Poston, public relation man, Aid. Earl B. Dickerson and later Mr. Donovan to investigate the complaints, but nothing came of these conferences. A communication received from President L. P. Lindelof said efforts had been made on his part to secure accepiance of membership into the union or the issuance of a charter of their own from the Omaha District Council No. 7, but the council as well as the local unions allegedly stated that no colored local union was wanted in Omaha. Further, the international organization could not force the acceptance of Negro painters owing to a provision in the general

NO ENGINEERS FOR U. S. ARMY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. (ANP) —Is ft the policy of the war department to permit no Negro officers in the engineers corps? Colored troops at Fort Belvoir are permitted to attend schools to win promotions, but when they seek commissions in the engineers they are flatly refused. The case of a dblored youth who is now in training there is evidence. This young man, a college student from New York who has been in the army for about six months, has not bad the chance to win promotion from the rank of private because he has been on the igo in the army ever since his induction. However, he landed at Fort Belvoir and after a few weeks there was sent to the school for training in draftsmanship, topography, map reading, etc., to better fit him to lead troops. The course is a tough one, says the young man, and the boys are in school six days a week all day long. There is talk of extending the course to seven days. White youths taking the course are eligible for commissions, but Negroes 'are not. The disappointing feature of the whole setup is that the colored youths come into the camp with high hopes of progressing and obtaining commissions as officers, when they are rudely awakened to the fact that the engineers' corps, one of the highest ranking branches of the service, does not want Negroes as officers and will not permit the training of such in the segregated camp down at Belvoir. ,

constitution w h i c If specifically states “the general executive board cannot institute a charter in any locality without the consent of the local unions or disrict council already established.” Mr. Lindelof declared that no acts of discrimination are practiced against the Negro or any other race, color or creed, and called attention to the 16 Negro local unions chartered under the International and the Negro representation of four at the convention In Columtbus, O., last September. International Representative Joo Gross of Omaha is said to have communicated with President Lindelof stating that on last Sept. 27 Negro painters were given an opportunity to work at the bomber plant without cost. Mr. Gross holds that the union kept their (part of the agreement, but the Negro painters did not. Members of the FEPC stated that the committee does not have the power to compel a union to grant a charter to any group, nor to open its membership rolls to any Individual or group of individuals: that their jurisdiction extends only to removing impediments which prevent qualified persons from working on defense projects. However, Mr. Newton, avers that “Due to the very nature of things one cannot hope to build a great labor movement in this country until a better spirit prevails and until a deepening sense of justice and fair play becomes evident and until these highly placed officials, whose duty it is to change these existing conditions, manifest some decisive sense of intentions to cure these evils which will surely eat the very heart of our national defense program.”

RESOLUTION CONDEMNS BIAS AGAINST NEGRO GARY. Ind., Feb. 13. Following charges by Gary Negro Legionaires that people of their race are being discriminated against at Hoosier defense plants, the executive board of the Indiana American Legion, meeting yesterday in Indianapolis, adopted resolutions condemning this practice. Attorney Benjamin Wilson, chairman of the employment committee of Calumet post, composed of Gary Negro veterans, told the board that hundreds of Negro workers in Lake county have filed applications for Jobs at the Kingsbury ordnance plant and other defense plants in the state, but are given no consideration. He declared that this “discrimination” is a direct violation of an order issued recently by President Roosevelt, declaring that no worker should be discriminated against at defense plants because of race, creed or color. Copies of the resolutions, in troduced by David Grand of Gary, vice-commander of the legion for Northern Indiana, will be sent to all state district commanders, askthem to investigate these charges and if found true, to make an effort to end discrimination against Negroes in defense plants in their districts. The state membership committee reported that at present, the Hoosier Legion has an enrollment of about 33.000. approximately -2J00 mnrA than at this time last year.

RFVFNGF URGE DANGEROUS by Ruth Taylor Human and natural though it is, there is danger in the cry of revenge. Revenge for defeat was Hitler’s rallying call to the German people, and like the Philistines of old, of whom Ezekiel wrote, they “have dealt by revenge and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart to destroy it for the old hatred. Revenge is a two edged sword, cutting us as well as our enemy— but there is one form of revenge that is not only safe but effective. Quiller-Couch described it thus: “The greatest revenge we can have on our enemy is not to be like him.” Eet us, therefore, take revenge—not of slavish imitation, of new hatreds—-but let us rather be dissimilar. Let us set an example What do we hate most in our enemies ? First, we hat the cruelty. Let us seek revenge by being kind by doing unto others as we would have them do unto us. Second, we hate the oppression. Let us seek revenge by being scrupulously fair in all of our dealings

RELIEF PLIGHT AT CHI BARED

CHICAGO, Feb. 13. ANP)—Relief conditions in Chicago, aggravated by the migration here of thousands of southern Negroes who came only to receive the dole, are “shameful” and growing worse, a subcommittee of relief of the city council finance committee was told lost week by a special group of prominent Chicagoans interested in relief and public welfare. Charging that sales tax funds, supposed to be issued solely for relief, were being used for other purposes, spokesmen urged the city council to start a movement td force the Illinois Public Aid commission to grant adequate funds to 'all persons on relief. Tlie commission is now paying only 90 per cent of the model budget adopted in December, 1920, and price increases since then havq placed the 53,000 Chicago familiei on relief on a near starvation basis. said the committee. These are existing on budget that are two thirds of the minimum computed by the United State Charities of Chicago. Approximately 40 per cent of those on relief are Negroes, according to reliable estimates. At one time since the depression Negroes were coming here on an average of 1,000 monthly. Most of them, influenced by stories sent south on how easy it was to get on relief, came here for that sole purpose. Relief was much harder to obtain in the south and allotments were small. In fact, many southerners who came here lived better on relief than they did while holding regular jobs back home.

with others, no matter how insignificant the act. Third, we hate the domination of the many by the few. Let us seek revenge by treating those with whom we come in contact, not as groups, or in derogatory generalities, but as individuals like unto ourselves, with the same principles, the same rights and the same obligations. Fourth, we hate the suppression of freedom. Let us seek revenge by using our freedom of speech, and thought, and assembly, for the building up of our country and our fellow citizens, for the practical application of democracy. And last, we hate the armed attack on religion and freedom of worship.
