THE BATTLE FOR BRITAIN
by A. Philip Randolph
The Battle for Britain is in full
swing. Thousand’s of airplanes on both
sides are locked in a death struggle for
the supremacy of the air. The much
advertised blitzkreig of Der Fuehrer is
striking with all of its power.
But this is more than a battle of
sinister steel birds of prey. It’s a bat
tle of ideas, of philosophies, of ways of
What does this Battle for Britain
mean to America? What does it mean
to the Negro? Does it matter whether
Britain lose and Germany triumph?
This question can best be answered
by a question, namely, does it matter
if Britain, the last stronghold of dem
ocracy and liberty fall under the fury
and fire, death and destruction of Naz
ism or not? The question carries its
own answer to a civilized and free peo
ple.
The answer is, it is a matter of life
and death to democracy and freedom
as we krtow it. If Britain lose, demo
cracy and liberty lose. If Nazism win
a new slavery amd barbarism, terror
ism and darkness will triumph.
If Hitler win, the black tides of re
action, tyranny and despotism, the cult
of force, mass murdser and espionage
will not -only sweep away the last ves
tige of humanity in Europe, but will
threaten Our American system of dem
ocracy and liberty.
Under Hitler, no man is free. He
is the victim of fear. Men of indepen
dent convictions and liberalism are
hunted, haunted, and harrassed, only
finally to end up in some noftorious
concentration camp where cruel and
inhuman efforts are made to break
their spirit and will. Under Hitler,
freedom of conscience, the right to
worship God according to one’s con
victions, is wiped out and the pagan re
ligion of the primitive Germanic trib
es is forced upon you.
Under Hitler, there is only one
political partly. It is Hitler’s party, the
National Socialist Party. Besides this
party, there is none other. The mere
expressiori 'of a difference of political
opinion with the opinion of Hitler and
his National Socialist Party, means
persecution, imprisonment, and per
haps, death.
Dictator is law. It is supposed to
be omniscient, omnipresent and omni
potent. He can? do n) wror^j. He is
to be regarded and accepted as the
paragon of all wisdom,, truth and right
And he employs force and mur
der to compel obedience and worship
of his person arid word.
But this is not sri in Britain. In
Britain, men and women are relatively
free. They are free to worship G'od ac
cording to the dictates of their own
conscience. They are free to1 express
their opinion on economic, political and
social problems. They are free to vote
for the political party of their choice.
How will Nazism affect -the Ne
gro? Hitler’s own statement on the
Negro in Mein Kampf is sufficient an
swer. What does he say? He alludes
to the Negro as ‘half ape.” In other
Words, Negroes, in the judgement of
the Germart Dictator are not even all
human. If they are not regarded as
human, it is logical to assume that they
are not entitled to the treatment of
human beings, Hence, under the Aus
trian Gorpioral, Negroes would be re
enslaved and put upon the status of
chattel property Nazism advoeates
the dangerous doctrine of Nordic sup
eriority.
What of Britain and the Negro?
Now,, we have no illusionons a
bout the attitude Great Britain has
maintained toward the Negroes in par
ticular and the darker races in gener
al. They have been deceived, betrayed
and'oppressed by Britain. No one can
question this fact. Great Britain has
employed the technique of divide and
rule.
But under British rule, Negroes
are, at least, regarded as human be
ings. In the British codonies, Negroes
are making some progress. It may be
slow, but it is sure. While no one den
ies the fact that they don’t get their
rights, they are more and more secur
ing the right to fight for their rights.
In England, Negroes are admitt
ed to the universities of Oxford and
Cambridge. Could a Negro go to any
kind of school in Germany? We should
say not. But even assuming that Ne
groes did not possess any rights in the
British empirq, it would still be to the
interest of the Negro people to support
the cause of Great Britain, because she
is fighting for the preservation of the
democratic siystem under which alona
Negroes can hope for the ultimate sta
tus of free men. England represents,
with the passing Czechoslovakia and
France, the only center of democracy
left in Europe. If England should fall,
it will constitute a definite threat to
our democratic order here.
This is why Negroes should help
Great Britain win, and strive for the
(fownfall tof Hitler and Nazism. It is
enlightened self interest. Negroes
don’t want Britain to win merly be
cause they love her, but because they
love themselves; because they love the
democratic way of life and the status
of human beinjgs.
It is for these reasons, that it is
to the interest of America and the Ne
gro people that all aid, short of Amer
ica going to war, should be given to
Great Britain, airplanes, destroyers
and even battleships, should be given
to England now to help her win the
war. And if Great Britain is given
munition^, planes arid destroyers, she
will win.
If Britain win, it will be the great
est bl jw which can be dealt dictator
ships, Fascists, Nazis and Communists.
Help Britain Will! Help Kill
Nazism! Help Save Democracy! Help
Defend America! But Keep America
Out of this War!
THE COUNTRY COMES FIRST
A strike in one of the country’s
major aircraft factories was recently
averted by a narrow margin. The fac
tory plays a key role in the new arms
program.
One wonders when malcontents
will realize that the people will no lon
ger stand for industrial disputes which
menace national security. If labor and
management can’t get together and
settle their troubles without disrupt
ing production, the authority of gov
ernment will of necessity be used to
control them.
Labor and industry have a chance
today to show the stuff they are made
of when the nation dictates the policy
that will take men for national defense
it cannot allow labor or industry to
dictate terms of employment or pro
duction.
