This week’s Editorial Review SONGS CHANGE WITH THE TIMES Rudyard Kipling wrote a famous poem once which contained the lin es: East is East and West is West. And Never the Twain Shall Meet. When he wrote the lines he believ ed them. He was then the singer for the British Imperialists. Now, we may parody Kipling and say: There shall be no East. There shall be no West. For someday the twain shall meet. They shall come by land and Air and Sea, And wherever they meet they shall Brothers Be _ THE AFRICAN QUESTION Last week a group of distinguish ed Americans laid the African Prob lem before the world. In doing so they demanded that Africans be given some of the democracy they are working and fighting for. And j they mentioned, in passing, the Col ored People of the United States. These patriotic taen and women not only wish to win the battles; they also desire to win the war. and, afterward, the PEACE OF JUST ICE for all men everywhere. BENEFIT SHOP 111 SO. 16th ST.

At its end. we shall ! have done with present day Imper- ! ialism. In its place we must have | cooperation between and among j peoples and governments, based up on the principles of right and jus tice for all. When the Atlantic Charter was promulgated by Prime Minister Churchill and President Roosevelt it contained a provision for the ac cess to “RAW MATERIALS” equal ly by all countries. Where are the “raw materials". Africa has them in greater abund ance than any other country. India has them and South America has them. Nothing in particular wa: said about the natives of the count ries mentioning sharing the “raw materials”. The language was the language of the Imperialist: not the language of democracy. It is because of these statements | and the knowledge of the practice of Imperialist Governments, that the Friends of African natives have taken a hand. They want “raw ma terials” developed as well for tQe use of the natives as other peoples. They would see the natives devel oped. Indeed, they must be devel oped in every way; their standard of living must be raised to higher levels. They must be educated to serve humanity, not to exploit it. Such is the meaning of the World j Revolution. THE OMAHA WORLD HERALD MAKES ITS BLACKLIST IN LOCAL POLITICS Local politics are coming to the fore. Sunday last the Omaha World Herald “led off” with its list of •> cal legislative unworthies. One cf the men on the blacklist was the well known State Senator, John Adams, Jr„ According to the World Herald, Adams “got out of line”: that is. he did not support the two measures closest to the “heart” of the World-Herald, so-called “Home Rule”, embodying the County Man ager Plan, and “Modernization' ; machine bookkeeping. One thing the World-Herald writ er made clear was the fact that John Adams, Jr., IS A NEGRO. The article puts him down as "a j Negro Attorney”. We think that fact does not justi fy his defeat or election. And. we surmise that the writer of the “blacK list” article knows that John Adams Jr., is one of the best qualified members of the Nebraska legislat ure. We opine, also, that Mr. Mor row knows, as we do, that qualific ations in themselves are colorless and raceless. It may be just as well that tne question has been raised by the World-Herald. The Britjish raised the same question in the Far Ea-'t and other places. Thoughtful men and women everywhere now realize Britain made a mistake. Frankly, we do not believe the citizens of the 5th district will de feat John Adams. Jr., because he happens to be an American of Col or. Quite the contrary, we think they will rather regard his racial stock as an asset “at the present time” and “in the present circum stances”. brought about by the War Emergency. We have not always been entnus istic about John Adams. Jr., but the World-Herald will make us get that way. if it persists in making COL OR A TEST FOR OFFICE. In a world sense, and things may be judged ere long in that way, such a philosophy would be fatal to white men the world over. Let merit, not color be the test. ‘ ABILITY.

Here's hoping the best of luck to r<Ma Nelson and V.bgr. Wright who rt-cently tied the matrimonial Knot, also Lillian Brown and Ralph Ar dora. a very bold statement about our war effort;. He declared: Ability, Not Politics. Will Win the War ’. And he went on to say that vert- able men have offered their services to the government and have been re jected because they have not always agreed with the present Adminis tration. He reminds us of the wis dom of Lincoln who sought the aDl est men in the country for his cu!> inet posts, whether they had always agreed with him or not. And Mr. Moses pointed out that what we need is ability in every place NOW. He would have the ablest men given cabinet posts and all other posts re quiring ability. And he would give them power when once appointed. In this way. Mr. Moses, points out. the various bureaus could be di s pensed with and the President, him self. would be freed from crushing burdens. The statement by Mr. Moses ap peared in the Washington Post. Washington. D. C. Mr. Moses is Commissioner of Parks and Boulevards in New York City. He has supervised improve ments in this type of work all ov er the country. What he says is im portant. because he is one of Amer ica's great Executives. IT HAS COME AT LAST A suit was filed on the Pacific Coast in a Federal Court which seeks to win a court decision to the effect that only so-called Caucas ians are eligible for citizenship in the United States. Thus, while we fight for "Wrold Democracy", we have with us men who dare to as sert that this is the white man's country. The truth is the whire man is a new comer to America. Lief Ericson was the first one here, so far as records go. He came in ; the year 1000. Four houndred and ninety-two years later, according to the ‘‘Press Agents", Columbus dis covered America. Funny thing, when Ericson and Columbus came they found the country populated by BROWN PEOPLE, called In dians. For at least a hundred years before Columbus came, Portugese Negroes had explored the continent of North and South America and have been here as residents or ex plorers continuously since 1350 A. D The time has come for members of the white race to take a ‘ searching look at the world today. When they do they will find human beings in Africa, China India. Russia. Eng -land. The Americas and the Isles of | the Sea. have HUMAN POSSIBIL ITIES of equal degree, all things be ing equal. Men everywhere who raise suen silly questions are. consciously or not, enemies of civilization. The: S read contemporary history wita their prejudices an dnot with their eyes. They do not know that it was this attitude which has ended Brit ish Imperialism. Their debacle in the Far East establishes this con | elusion. The lawsuit referred to will re : ceive the treatment it deserves when it reaches the Supreme Court of the j United States. t ~j You can imagine how that r;:nr it Willie McDavis felt the other week when he was buying ‘ Two Pleas* ' «* m! the other hen <*» on the sc a*ie and shah we say grabbed the dow payment.
