ed reports of clashes between Ne
gro and white American troops sta
tioned. over there. Unfortunately
he stayed only a short time . and
then reported that the claims were
exaggerated. However, I am in
clined to think that he felt it would
be more diplomatic to adopt the at
titude "the less said the better.”
“Recently Joseph Julian related
for the magazine, ‘‘The Nation,”
the personal talks he had with some
Negro soldiers stationed in Britain.
It Seems that orders or requests
have been issued by the American
military authorities to the Englisn
townspeople to the effect that
white and colored troops should not
be permitted in the same civilian
canteens. And in some cases the
townspeople have refused to com
ply. In fact, many of them are dis
tinctly annoyed at this discrimin
ation against the colored troops.
Mr. Julian reports a conversation
he had with a colored boy in Pic
cadilly Circus and some of the facts
he learned were: Negroes are treat
ed better by the British than by the
Americans. Several American offi
cers resigned because they did not
want to lead colored troops. Negi o
soldiers are not welcome at the A
merican Red Cross clubs, and spec
ial clubs are being set up for them.
“Now, really: Suoh goings-on are
a little shameful .don't you think
so? Supposing on the field of bot
tle, an American boy was dying and
needed assistance. Let’s suppose a
Negro buddy came to his aid... .Do
you imagine he would refuse? Do
you think he would let racial pre
judice interfere with what may be
a chance of safety for that Ameri
can white boy? And if the colored
boys are good enough to die for a- !
merica then at least they deserve as !
good a chance to live in America— J
or any other part of the world for
that matter—and pursue normal,
honest lives.

"One of the principles for which
we are fighting this war is equal

cooperation in this respect from
other nations ,if we can't set a ,'00d

"Right now* is a good time to
start pulling down these racial pre

us all of mo^e Dr. Carvers and Paul
Robesons. The armed forces would
be the logical place t.o begin. If

PRIORITY
by RUTH TAYLOR)
We have a new word in our die
tionary, a word that is on every
one’s lips, that comes into every
conversation, that hangs over every
purchase, that is taking an unpre
cedented part in our daily lives. It
is the word “priority”.
Just what does priority mean?
The answer is very simple. Pri
ority is simply putting first things
first.
_ As a nation and aa individuals, we
have one job today—the job of win
ning this war. This must come be
fore anything else, because, if we
don't win if, there won’t be any
thing else. And defeat would be
unthinkable to any of us.
The quicker we win the war, the
sooner can we return to the way of
life we want to live, to the full en
joyment of the advantages and hap
pinesses of the democratic way of
life. The quicker we win it, the
sooner can our factories revert to
the production of those things
which make life easier and more
enjoyable. The quicker we win it,
the sooner will our boys come home,
our families live again as families
should, in peace and prosperity,
free from fear, free to plan again
for the future.
Here is where priority comes in. '
Priority means that we must put I
the war effort first. We must ask
ourselves before we buy anything,
whether or not it is essential. We
must use our money for war bonds
not for luxuries. War bonds have
priority on all spare cash—ar.d
pare cash means all that is not
needed for bare living expenses,
We must remember that non-essen
tials not only take money, but they
take man-power to make and trans
port: they take space needed tor
war materials: they use up steel
and rubber and gas to move them
from place to. place. Luxuries do
not have priority. They are ‘‘Out’’.
—for the duration.
Priority means that we must work
hard at those things which are es
sential. In industry, if w» have
the strength. In civilian defense,
and other volunteer war tasks, if
we canaot give all oj- time. Wo
must remember that there is pri
, vit.v on our ability to work, and be
j cause of that priority we must keep
fit and ready to do our share.
Priority means that we have no
time to indulge in hatred, prejud
ice or discrimination, or in resent
ment for real or fancied wrongs All
of our energies, mental as well as
