Honor Colored Heroes
If I were President I would not
refuse to decorate T>rave colored
sailors or soldiers like Dorie Mil
ler and Robert Brooks with the
Congressional Medal of Honor, nor
deny such honors to all colored
servicemen regardless of their he
roic deeds.
If I were President 1 would not
keep silent when billions of federal
housing funds expended to build
homes for American men and wom
en were so administered as to bar
! colored war workers and their
families. If I were President I
would not try to fool the people
with FEPC hearings and do noth
ing to bring to justice the railroad
unions and government officials
prove guilty of openly aiding in
i discrimination practices against
I colored railroad workers nor would
we fail the unprotected and vic
timized colored fireman being kill
ed outright or suffering slow death
by unemployment. If I were Pres
ident I would not allow the Secre
tary of the Navy to insult the
wives and daughters of a million
colored servicemen by denying them
admittance to the WAVES and re
fusing colored sailors commissions
in the Navy.
Black Presiaent
Now let us go still further: If
this writer might be so bold as
to paraphase instead of Mrs. Roos
evelt’s, “If I were a Negro,” let i
us assume the preposterous in
regard to true identity too and
say, “If I were Mrs. Roosevelt’s
husband and in my third term as
President, Commander-in-Chief of
the United States and author of
the Four Freedoms of World War
II with a million colored soldiers
fighting, bleeding and dying too,
for democracy abroad.” If I were
President Roosevelt, I would first
speak out and issue an executive
order to stop all discrimination and
segregation of American citizens
tax payers and war bond buyers I
on the home front. I would enforce
the constitutional rights of 13,000,
000 colored people North and South
by outlawing, lynching and race
riots, abolishing the poll tax, reg
istration and educational test of
colored Americans’ citizenship,
thereby guaranteeing equal justice
to all, without racial distinction.
If I were PresidentI would not
keep silent and let my wife do all
the talking, especially when how
ever nice it sounds, no official help
is forth coming from the White
House and the Administration’s
Democratic Representatives and
Senators in Congress and the ex
ecutive departments.
Fire Attorney General Biddle
If I were President I would fire
Attorney-General Biddle for trying
to sabotage the all out war effort in
the recent recommendation that
loyal, willing, available and patri
otic colored workers be denied their
God given right to migrate to the
North to fill essential war jobs and
to escape peonage, starvation
wages, the Jim Crow system in
public places, trains, buses, street
cars, a vicious educational set-up
which expends $5.00 for a colored
child and $35.00 for a white child

Stop Abuses of Civil Service
If I were PresidentI would not
stand for a minute as Commander
in-Chief to see a court martial
sentence Sgt. Levy to jail for try
ing to teach colored soldiers to
read and write. If I were Pres
ident I would instruct the Civil
Service Commission to use the ‘
power granted in Congress to pre
scribe the rules and regulations
to stop the present survey bent
on classifying the 3,000,000 fed
eral employees on the basis of
race though this discriminatory
action is a specifically prohibited
by Law, I would appoint a colored
member of the Civil Service Com
mission to guard the integrity of
this vital federal agency as Mayor
La Guardia has done in New York
and Mayor Walker before him. If
I were President I would not send
prelates to barnstorm the battle
areas as New Deal propagandists
where colored soldiers are used
only as engineers and have to go
in first to face the shot and shells.
Nor would I stand for the court
martial of a God fearing colored
officer like Chaplain Fuller, who
cries out against the mistreatment
of colored soldiers in the Pacific
area by white officers and soldiers.

If I were President I would get

nocent colored policeman in the

United China Relief’s 1943 poster, painted by the distinguished

that has been married, the one
I'm supporting, the single one, or
the father of the child, or must

I fell in love with a young fellow
in 1942 which caused my husband
and I to separate and is until now.
Both my husband and my boy
friend are in the service. The bOy
friend wants t° marry me when all
is over and now my husband writ
es that he wants me to take him
back. What must I do?
Ans: Get these "giddy” notions
out of your head. You overwhelm

his ardor has cooled considerably.
He gave you love but he did not
mention marriage_..he only prom
ised it when he went in service.
Your husband is still the kind,
faithful man that you married and
he stands ready to assume his ob

assurance of your love now.._..
don’t deny him this happiness.
