MEN SOMETIMES LEARN
ONLY THE BAD
Not very long ago a member of
our staff heard an Italian of the
first generation of Americans
speaking of a well educated In
dian girl as a “Squaw”. The In
dian girl observed “the young
man would doubtless be offended,
if I called him "Dago”, but appar
ently does not know the term he
used is quite as offensive to me".
All of which illustrates how
careful we should be in our speech
about members of other races.
Recent immigrants are not res
ponsible for the use of offensive
language as to races. They learn
these terms from Americans of
long residence. They hear wordq

of ridicule about Negroes whom
they do not know and soon they
practice what has been taught
them: t° disregard the rights of
others, unless they are “white”.
Detroit, Michigan, is a case in
point. Here Polish immigrants
have for many years shown as
much race prejudice toward Ne
groes as has always been showh
by whites in some sections of the
Deep South.
Men often learn only the bad.
SPRINGTIME
Spring has come again. Nature
begins to put on her new clothes
and life begins again and in a
single season plants will reach
their noon and evening of their
lives and go back to “Mother
Earth” that life may be renewed.
And thus it is through the seasons
and the cycles of every living
thing.
TRAINING FOR THE NAVY
Very soon provision will be made
for training Negroes for naval ser
vice. Already a few of them arc
in the Coast Guard and as more
and more lives are lost as we sail
the seven seas their services will
be required, even though they have
had to fight for a chance to figh;.

WHAT DOES HITLER WANT-?
by RUTH TAYLOR
Are we interested in knowing
how we may please Herr Hitler?
In knowing what he wants us to
do? As a people, intentionally or
not we manage to do most of
these things.
He is pleased with any evidence
of disunity. Each time we separ
ate into groups, and stand upon
the rights of any particular group,
we are pleasing Hitler. For it
was by the aid of such groupings
that he separated the people of
the nations he has conquered and
enslaved.
He is pleased when we are com
placent. A complacent people is
a lazy people, slow to action,
rocking away too comfortably to
notice the tornado until it is upon
them. We please Hitler with our [
over confidence, with our feeling;
that we can’t be conquered.
He is pleased when we are cyn
ically critical of those whom we
ourselves have chosen to repres
ent us. Hitler knows that the!
best way to befuddle a leader i3 to
keep criticising him. The best
way to slow up action is to make
a leader take off time to explain.
We halt the wheels of progress
when we pause to find fault or
complain.
He is pleased when we stop to
bargain. Those who won’t join in
the war effort until they have
“theirs”—whether “theirs” be pro
fits, wages, preferntial treatment,
or special advantages—are perfect
followers of Hitler—millstones a
round the neck of the nation.. .1
stumbling blocks in its path.
He is pleased when we allow
hatreds to sway us, when we per
mit old resentments, fancied
wrongs, unbiased prejudices to do
minate our actions, setting class
against class, race against rac>,
creed against creed. ' Hitler knows
how this saps a nation’s strength.
He is pleased when we lack
faith... .when we allow the under
current of distrust to bog down
our spirits, when we lose sight of
the high goal before us. Hitler j
knows that a nation whose ideal
is undemined by doubt is half con
quered.
These are the ways in which we
can please Herr Hitler. But.... is
this what we want to do?

COUNCILMAN POWELL SAYS
ALLIES MUST CRUSH HITLER

WIN WAR, HE WRITES
Despite discrimination in the
armed forces and defense indus
tries the Negroes are still the
most loyal element in the United
States today, according to Adam
Clayton Powell, Jr., prominent
Negro clergyman and member of
the New York City Council, whose
article “Is This a White Man’s
War?” appears in the April Is
sue of Common Sense Magazine,
out this week.
“There are no Fifth Columnists
in our ranks,” Mr. Powell writes
“The thinking Negro knows that
if America loses the war, hj3
plight as a Negro will be much
worse than it is now. Under de
mocracy, however poorly realized,
the Negro does have a fighting
chance.”
Emphasizing that the war is a
two fold battle, Mr. Powell ca'ls

the army, navy and defense indus
tries, at the same time warning
Negroes to beware of “crackpots
and self-styled nationalistic lead
ers” who might try to turn the
D. Scholtz, Omaha director of civ
ilian defense in the Seventh De
fense Region.
This spring campaign in Oma
ha and elsewhere, lie said, should
include all classifications of civil
ian support of the war. He mapp
ed the "strategy” of the campaign
as follows:
“This is our crisis year, the year
in which every ounce of energy
should be put forth to assure a
good start on the road to victory.
It is up to us on the home front
to exert ourselves to pile up huge
sales of defense bonds and stamps.
Upon all citizens working in de
fense industries rests a heavy re
sponsibility for keeping production
moving at the fastest posible pace
so that our men on the fighting
fronts shall not lack any of the e
quipment needed for overcoming
the enemies of liberty.
“The salvage for Victory Cam
paign is well started in the middle
west and should be carried on sys
tematically to provide maximum
amounts of salvage materials for
war industries.
“We are just starting on Vic
tory Gardens. Plant now, the
garden experts tell us, and we cer
tainly should not let their advice
go unheeded if we mean to do our
share towards producing enough
garden vegetables for home us .
The slogan of the sucessful home
gardener, I am told, is to make the
garden plot productive ‘from frost
to frost.’
“In the protective services of
civilian defense we have been pro
gressing encouragingly. Now is
the time to concentrate on intens
ive organization of all units of the
Citizens Defense Corps and to ex
pand to "the limit the training
classes for Volunteers assigned to
duties requiring Special knowledge
for efficient and co-ordinated ac
tion.
“Hitler spouts grandiosely of his
plans for a spring offensive in
Europe. Military experts of the
United Nations assert he will be
blocked on the war front. I am
confident that throughout the 9
states of the Seventh Defense Re
gion everything possible will be
done in support of a spring victory
campaign on the home front.”

Similarly, he believes, the revors
es of the war are closely linked*
with the- failure of the United Na
tions to "counter the agression of
the Axis by enlisting the positive'
support of the yellow, brown and
black races, that make up the vast
majority of the peoples on this
earth. Hongkong, Singapore and
Java have been lost; India, China
Arabia and Egypt are in peril be
cause of this failure.”
To gain this support, Mr. Pow

must fight against racial discrjm^

guarantee freedom and adequate

Of the Japanese, Mr. Powell
writes: "If Hitler did win—and he
won’t—the Japanese themselves
would be the first to suffer under
him, for there can be no room in
a Nordic philosophy of life for the

CHRIST OUR PASSOVER
AND LIFE
Preparation for two gr< at relig
ious feasts are being made at the
time of this writing. Our Jewish
brethern are preparing to observe
the “Passover" while we Christ
ian brethern of various commun
ions, prepare to observe “Easter”.
In these days when we “Remem
ber Pearl Harbor” mankind may
find lasting benefits to remember
that “Christ, our passover is sac
rifice for us” I Cir. 5:7 and that
He is come that we “May have
life and that we may have it more
abundantly”. Jno. 10:10. To have
Christ in this world with the as
surance of eternal life after the
expiration of this one.
The Passover as recorded in Ex
odus 12:3-14 had two objectives.
First, it was to mark destruction
for the Egyptian but salvation and
deliverance for Israel. The Israel
ites were to tell their children of
their experiences and deliverance.
They were to observe it every
year from generation to genera
tion. It was a memorial for the
Hebrews.
Secondly, it was a type of
Christ “the Lamb of God, which
taketh away the sins of the world”
The Paschal lamb was a type of
Christ our Redeemer. It was to be
without blemish and stain. It
was also to be applied in order to
get the best results and assur
ance of perfect protection from
1 judgement. So, Christ is the
Lamb with spot. But in order to
realize the efficacy of his blood,
He too, must be applied to our
hearts by faith. For "except ye
repent, ye shall all likewise per
ish” Luke 13:3.
Each time we approach the
Lord’s Supper with its emblem of
bread and wine, we observe it as
a memorial supper as a covenant
between God and saved people of
every race, color and nation.
It supercedes the Passover
w'hich was literally for Israel,
while the Lord’s Supper is for ev
ery SAVED soul. The latter
should be eaten in as much Read
iness as the former.
In a world which is over- run
by dictatorship, greed and selfish !
ness, life (hs we humanly realize j
it) is very cheap.
Helpless and innocent men, I
women and children are being I
killed or worked and starved to
death. Young and old alike love
life. When natural death seems to
h? inevitable, men shrink or dread
it unless their minds are illumin
ated by hope beyond the grave.
We keep active as long as we can.
But the victorious Christ of the
open sepulchre and the Easter
story, brings us hope which wc
can se byond this world of war, |

What Should You Save To Help?,
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The following table issued by the Treasury
Department is intended as a savings yardstick for the average income
earner, it suggests how everyone of the 48,000,000
employed persons in the United States may partici
pate in the war effort through the systematic purchase
of Defense Savings Bonds.
“The job ahead of us is far bigger than most* of us
realize,” Secretary Morgenthau declared in making
the table public. “I know that the American people
are ready to do their part to win the war. One of the
ways we can do much more is by intensifying oui
effort in the purchase of Defense Bonds.”
While persons without dependents may be able to
set aside more than the suggested figures, persons
with several dependents, or with other heavy family
obligations, may be unable to save at the suggested
rate, the Treasury Department pointed out.
