The South with its ignorance and prejudice cannot treat the Negro fairty either as soldiers or citizens. And the National Govern ment should at once begin the trans fer of these soldiers and the ones in ducted into service afterward should be quartered and trained in the North and West and East. We do not have the time to educate the South ,on this question, because those prejudiced leaders would rather see Hitler win the war than give the Negro justice. But President Roosevelt knows better and does mi want Hitler to win. Hence, we say to him, scotch the Fifth Columnists in the deep south by removing the Negro soldiers. They wa|[it them down there so as to exploit them as sodiers as they have always exploited them as citizens. They have more little Hitlers tb the square mile in the Deep South than can be found in a similar area anywhere else on earth. Save democracy here in America. CONGRATULATIONS, MR. FLETCHER Mr. Panasebe Fletcher was appoint ed a teacher in the Omaha Public Schools this year. Mr. Fletcher is well qualified for the teaching profession. He receiver his B. A. degree at Howard University, his M. A. at Nebraska Uni versity and has had one year of Study on his Phd. at the University of Cali fornia at Berkley. The Omaha Board of Education which is now committed to the policy of employing Negroes as teachers in the schools, will find it highly benefi cial to the community in general and the school system in particular, to aug ment the number of teachers from this group as rapidly as possible. Such a course will help the educational effort and greatljy improve relations through respectful understanding between the various racial stocks in the community. Mr. Fletcher, if given support, will aid measureably in that regard. fc—Courtesy American People'* Mobilization I BALLAD OF SOME CHANGES MADE (by Langston Hughes for ANP) I had a gal She was driving alone, Doing eighty In a twenty mile zone. Had to pay her ticket. It took all I had. What makes a woman Treat a man so bad? Come to find out (If Ld a-only knew it!) She had another joker In my Buick! So from now on, I want the world to know, That gal don’t drive my Car no more. One of the real threats to Negro advancement is, more and more our women must stand in the economic gateway and protect and support the home. In other words more and more they are having to “carry the male*’. A hitch in time may also save nine. I. .1=1--= Nomadic Mongols of Manehukuo Paying no heed to the march of time the nomadic Mongol* of the Western part of Manchukuo, number ing some 700,000, still lead a primitive life, raising their sheep on the wind-swept steppes and living in easily collapsible “pao” (tents). The Mongolian family shown above is typical of the roving people ! constantly on the move in search of water and grassland for their herds. ___ I - Japan Presents Hearn Books to Tulane £ > ^Tulane University in New Orleans dedicated a room to Lafcadio Hearn, noted American writer, who jbecame a naturalized citizen of Japan under the name of Yakumo Koizumi.
