Plain Talk
BY DAN GARDNER
NEGRO CASUALTIES AND
THE ATLANTIC CHARTER
Through the strict field censorship
of the army seep out stories involv
ing huge Negro casualties in the fur
ious fighting now going on in Bel
iuni and’ parts of France where our
Third, First and Seventh Armies are
attempting to stave off the last min
ut» surprise counter-attacks of the
Germans.
The daily papers carry correspond
ingly high lists of the maimed and
killed white GI’s but only occasion
ally mention those of Negroes. This
conclusion was arrived at after a
study over a period of the casualties
released by the War Department for
publication in New York papers. Few
names of Negroes were seen in this
test study for comparison, thus the
assumption that either the War De
pariment is withholding complete and
up to date lists of the Negro w-ar
wounded and dead, or that our boys
are not engaged in the thick of the
fight as many of us have been led to
believe.
EVEN GENERALS
GET KILLED.
Unlike World War I, this conflict
is one in which even generals get
shot and killed in close quarters
since it is a war of movement and
not a war of tactical operations be
cause there has been much stress
placed on the basic training of the
raw recruit in teaching him the rudi
ments of elementary and advanced
warfare so as to prepare him to be a
soldier in every sense of the word
Many generals use privates' uniforms
to avoid attention- That is why in
this war there are few cases on rec
ord in which a GI knows nothing of
fighting except with shoe-shine rag
and polish on the general’s boots
from 500 miles to the rear in some
fuitt rendezvous where only the dull
and distant boom of cannon would
indicate that a war is going on. The
truth of the matter, it would appear.
is that Negro soldiers are catching
as much hell as any of the others.
\\ rule we are not inclined to give
too much credence to wide-eyed re
ports that Negroes are being carried
around in baskets, others with arnu
and legs shot off, some with brass
plates in the tops of their heads- etc
we do know that Negroes are contri
buting their share of blood and lives
in this most costly of all wars
GREAT INCREASE
IN CASUALTIES
As the conflict draws near its final
stages, there is bound to be a great
increase in the number of men injur
ed and killed as bullets are no respect
-ers of persons or color.
There must be a sense of futility
in the hearts of many of our soldiers,
sailors and others in the Armed Fore
es as the war progresses and the
brave words, which inspired them
with enthusiasm for the fight, fade
intc hard, cold- and grim practical
ities of take and hold instead of give
and let be.
The Atlantic Charter- we have been
told, has now turned out to be only
a few empty phrases discussed in the
abstract by Roosevelt and Churchill
to wile away the time because Church
hill announced later his attitude to
ward the whole war and the principl

i-s for which it is being fought, say
ing that he did not propose to pre
side at the liguidation of the British
Empire
The Atlantic Charter was the bea
con of sincerity of this whole war
that attracted the downtrodden mil
lions of the world their hope of a
new day and a new deal on a world
wide scale- For such principles,
Wendell Willkie fought and died.
V ice President Wallace declared at
the National Democratic Convention
in Chicago that the future belongs to
thc-sc who go unswervingly down the
line for the right regardless of race,
color.or creed.
NO INSPIRATION
SEEN HERE.
The pronouncement that the Atlan
tic Charter is not even a scrap of
paper: that its pjrinciples are only so
much hot air. certainly do not seem,
to me. to be a cause d'affaire of in
spiration for Negroes in particular.
With the mounting list of Negro cas
ualties coming in to dismay and dis
heartenen and sadden mothers, wives,
sweethearts, fathers, brothers, sisters,
and sons, there should somewhere be
a promise of omething concrete when
the survivors of this war finally are
sent home- These things should be
the very essence of the Roosevelt
Churchill-authored Atlantic Charter,
in which the four Freedoms, freedom
from want, freedom from fear, free
dom of religion, and freedom of
speech were born.
Unlike World War I when a be
wildered group of ex-servicemen re
turned home to breach lines, lynch
mobs, and denied opportunities, this
w'ar—when over—will release an en
tirely different type of ex-service
man. They will be war-hardened,
thoroughly educated persons with the
primitive intention to ask for what
they want and, if they don’t get it
to take it- They are going to make
a lot of changes in the way things
are going on here in spite of the pol
iticians, the race relations experts,
and all those who are getting along
nicely themselves on the status quo
BOYS HAD LITTLE
TO HOPE FOR.
These boys, many of them from
our sidewalks who before they went
into the army had little to hope for.
have learned what to ask for because
they fought for it and many of their
buddies died for it. They will be in
no mood to keep on “taking" the in
sults, ridicule, and mistreatment of
the American majority. They will
know- how to protect themselves and
will do that instinctively and thus
end a lot of the discriminations and
social mal-adjustments they were
forced to put up with before they
were rushed into the uniform which
they have so glorified- Death itself
has been met by them and they have
not been found wanting. Those who
have gone “over the hill" have left a
rich heritage of inspiration for the
others to carry on.
1 he nearly one million Negroes in
our Armed Forces will do more to
help solve the race problem on the
home front than al! the preaching,
writings, and campaigns of many of
our great professional race advisors
who managed to stay out of uniforms
They will be swept aside when they
start unloading the boats at the docks
by younger men, many of them more
than Qualified to don the mantle of
leadership because they will be the
vanguard of the procession leading
us to the realization to what we have
all hoped and prayed for. That
world will be one of young men. and
our best young men are coming home
