Washington, D. C.
What'a happening inside Russia?
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
Vehement denials of the death of
Marshal Stalin were followed final
ly by admission that the man who
had more power than any czar could
boast of was weary. That he was
well, but that he was shedding some
of his responsibilities.
It is interesting to note the reac
tion in this country. The wishful
thinking of those who first an
nounced the death rumor over the
air and in print was not reflected in
official Washington.
The very day before the first story
appeared a high government official
expressed the opinion in my hearing
that the hope for understanding be
tween the United States and Russia
depended largely on Stalin. This was
after the long series of disagree
ments beginning with the breakup
of the Foreign Ministers’ meeting in
London, the refusal of Russia to take
active part in the United Nations
Food organization meeting in Que
bec, the objections to various moves
made by the members of the United
Nations Executive Council. Every
where ‘‘Russia objects” seemed to
be the one answer which Russia’s
representatives had to offer to the
suggestions made by the American
and other governments.
When the real history of the in
ternational conferences, beginning
with the Moscow conference which
Secretary of State Hull attended,
through Yalta and Potsdam, is writ
ten, I think it can be shown that
Stalin, frequently against the advice
of his councillors, was the one who
broke the deadlocks and proposed or
accepted compromises which were
made necessary by his own col
leagues’ stubbornness.
It will be recalled that when the
Invitations to the meeting at San
Francisco went out it was announced
that Russia would not send her for
eign minister as head of the delega
tion, but would leave that post to
Ambassador Gromyko in Washing
ton. This made a bad impression,
for it looked as if Stalin were damn
ing the affair with faint support.
However, after the American news
papers sounded off on the subject,
Stalin had a change of heart—or per
haps the death of Roosevelt, which
occurred in the interim, affected his
course. Molotov was duly assigned
to the job.
Molotov proved no simple prim
rose and more than once, it is re
ported, Stalin's intervention had to
be sought to grease the wheels.
There was another occasion—just
■which one is not revealed—when the
work was completely stymied and
finally the President made a direct
appeal to Stalin to accept the sug
gestions of the majority on a point
that appeared to have hopelessly
<ieadlocked the meeting. This time,
against the counsel of his advisors,
who were holding out, Stalin put his
O.K. on the request.
Isolationists
Bloc Grows
There is reason to believe that
this “no vote” attitude of a number
of the Soviet leaders who opposed
what many have considered too
deep entanglement in international
affairs, which has been in evidence
for a long time, finally wrecked the
Foreign Ministers' conference.
As early as the time of the San
Francisco meeting there were hints
of a growing “isolationist” opposi
tion inside Russia. Word reached
certain members of the conference
by a roundabout way. but from a
thoroughly reliable source, concern
ing the status of former Foreign
Minister Litvinov, Russia’s crack
diplomat, who negotiated the re
sumption of relations with the Unit
ed States after the long hiatus fol
lowing World War I. At one time it
was reported that Litvinov had been
purged. This was not so. But what
had happened was that the "Russia
objects” element had managed to
shelve him because of his more lib
eral views.
This apparently was the beginning
of what many called a "palace revo
lution.” and which some people be
lieve is now flaring up into full
flame.
The story of the events which led
up to the Litvinov affair has never
been confirmed, but it is reasonable
to assume that it is true. In brief,
there was a split in the all-powerful
"Polit-Bureau" of the Soviets. The
Political Bureau is a small body
chosen from the central committee
of the Communist party, which is the
government’s policy-forming entity.
This body is composed of powerful
Soviet leaders and it exerts a great
deal of influence.
According to the reports touching
on Litvinov’s position, the Polit-Bu
reau was sharply divided into “isola
tionists” and those who looked upon
the rest of the world with a less
jaundiced view. At that time Stalin
was said to be walking a tight-rope 1
between the two and choosing care
fully toward which side he would
lean. Litvinov, who believed that
Russia could not live by herself and
who had always encouraged a sym
pathetic attitude toward the outside
world, had been completely shelved
for his ideas.
Little more was heard of these
rumblings until after the end of the
war, when the Red army became
the symbol of Russian salvation.
Then it appeared that the isolation
ist Russia, the big-army Russia, the
Russia which wouldn’t take anything
off anybody, had a new and power
ful backer—the officers (and per
haps some of the rank and file as
well) of the Red army.
In any case, we know that the high
officers of the army received all
sorts of perquisites, rewards and
privileges, which only the highest of
the high receive.
Red Army
Strong Factor
The assumption on the part of
some observers is that with the as
cendancy of the Red army element,
not only the isolationists, but the
Communist party as a whole, lost
influence. There has always been
jealousy between the two, though, of
course, their membership overlaps
in many cases. You will recall that
at the beginning of the war civilian
commissars were attached to army
units and they censored all orders
issued by the officers. This proved
to be not only highly unpopular
with the military, but also impracti
cal. The civilian commissars were
then withdrawn and only those with
military training were appointed.
Their authority, in effect at lea«t.
became merged with that of the
military.
Now the high army officers are
recognized as occupying virtually
the same plane as the high party
officials.
Just where Stalin stands as a re
sult of this change in the fabric of
Russian national policy it is impos
sible to say. It has been rumored
that he has relinquished his function
as commander-in-chief. It has also
been rumored that he is ready to
drop out of the picture completely
and choose a successor. In that con
nection it was hinted that General
Zhukov, Russia's Eisenhower, was
afflicted with a "diplomatic illness”
when he suddenly gave up a widely
advertised trip to the United States
which it was said he had looked for
ward to with considerable zest.
This might have been a signal that
Russia was drawing further within
herself.
Some believe that it indicated that
Zhukov was the chosen successor of
Stalin and that, until a new regime
was firmly established, the Soviets
would maintain a negative policy in
foreign relations.
In any case, it is clear that the
“Russia objects” policy was inaugu
rated for some reason and naturally,
since in the past Stalin had always
been the one who was able to play
ball with the Allies, at le#st to the
point where progress seemed to be
made toward working agreements,
Washington is by no means anxious
to see him fade from the picture.
Meanwhile, the one hopeful view
which is being taken of the Russian
situation is that it may be that there
is some kind of a change taking
place within Russia and that the
present policy of stalling means
nothing worse than a necessary
marking time on the part of the So
viet leaders until the outcome is
settled.
And then there is always another
reason w'hich pops up as an explana
: tion of almost anything these days—
i the atomic bomb.

They have no fat on their ribs on !
which to live on during the lean i
years. They either close their |
uoors, or are bought up by comp- j
anies that have larger resources. I
The life of small competitive
business is tough enough in these
days without subjecting it to the
impossible burden of holding out
through long depressions. Every
new technological advance means
that larger sums are required for
new machinery and for research.
The price of admission to or suc
cess in business is constantly go
ing up. I think that it is a sim
ple, demonstrable fact that we can
not expect to retain our compet
itive system, and enterprise that
is free and open to everyone, if
we continue to allow depressions.
Since I am in favor of that sys
tem, I believe that the full employ i
ment bill should be considered a
‘must”.
To me it is an act of the high
est stupidity that an organized
society such as our own should
have failed to avail itself of thei
productive skills of every man and
woman in the land, regardless oii
origin, race or color. Whatever
any individual is able to contri
bute to the wealth of the country
should be a welcome contribution.
It goes without saying that an
opportunity should be freely given
to make such a contribution.
A basic concept of the full em
ployment program is that it looks
upon all labor as a potential
source of power and wealth which
is available to increase the output
of our economic system and thus
raise our standard of living. This
concept ends for all time the idea
that Negro labor is merely com
peting in the labor market for
jobs. The competition under the
;ull employment program is for
more production by more people,
not for more production by few
er people. Hence, Negro labor is
looKea upon under mis program
as a powerful contributing factor
to our potential power and wealth
If the full employment program
were brought to its full fruition,
Negroes would be given opport
unities to which they are entitled,
not because they would be singled
out for special consideration but
oecause a great majority of Ne
groes belong to the class that the
program is designed especially to
benefit. It is to the advantage of
the Negroes therefore that they
familiarize themselves with the
social and economic theory upon
which this new program for de
mocracy is being built. This re
quires knowledge and understand
ing of the new forces that have
been brought into being by science
and technology and of the various
social and political factors which
are emerging as the result of a
better understanding among men.
A correlative of the responsib
ilities in helping to maintain a de
mocracy is a voice in determing
its policies. An apathetic and un
intelligent electorate is a serious
menace to free institution. In
these days when attempts are be
ing made by pressure groups to
sabotage both our economic and
political institutions for individ
ual and collective benefits, we
need an enlightened and intelli
gent electorate.
Experience has shown that a
progressive program of action
tested by discussion and based
upon the facts is the best assur
ance that we will continue to ex
ist as a free nation. The partic
ipation of the Negro in making
decisions is just as vital as his
participation in carrying out those
decisions when made,
There is need for organizations
such as this one that will inter
pret the new forces that are emer
ging from our modern civilization
and which will help to evolve
plans for the intelligent and ade
quate participation of our Negro
citizens under leadership that you
will provide.
In the economic realm the Ne
gro must accept the burdens as
well as the rewards of the new
patterns of labor relations. He
must solve his particular prob
lem within the framework of har
monious human relations. All
workers, white or Negro, have the
responsibility to secure as wide
opportunities for labor as possible
that both may make their full
contribution to the American ecor.
omy.
Despite the acknowledged na
tional aim to provide a fuller life
for all of the people, there are
those who would oppose these de
sirable social advances. Those
■ who take this position believe
that wealth and political power
should be concentrated in the
hands of a small minority. They
sneer at democracy becaose they
do not believe in it. They pro
claim that education should be
reserved for their own group and
for those “little brothers of the
rich" who can be counted upon to
serve that group. They are con
cinved that leisure will only be
misused by those whom they re
gard as the “lower classes" and
therefore that it is better to keep
such men, women, and children
hard at work for no more than
sufficient to keep them in work
able condition. They believe that
human, as well as natural re
sources, are God-given for their
personal exploitation and should
be made to yield to them the last
drop of profit. While these men
are ni a decided minority, they
are powerful, as concentrated
wealth is always powerful. They
are able to muster strong support,
buttressed as they are by special
privilege. They are determined to
retain their unfair advantages ev
en at the cost of social progress
and economic opportunity for the
average man.
Such a selfish philosophy is in
compatible with democracy. It is
in fact, destructive of democracy.
Therefore, the forward looking
forces in America, who constitute
the great majority, are under the
challenge to join hands and fight
for the prese~vation of their
ideals.
Closely allied to those who are
determined to retain their special
economic privileges are those who
ook with horror ur>on anv change
in the customs and habits of the
councry. Such fail to realize that
customs and hab'ts are a matter
of growth. They are expressive
of the lives and aspirations of the
people to whom they appertain.
I am well acquaint with the hor
rendous social results that have
been acclaimed as the inevitable
result of treating Negroes and
other minorities as if they were
human beings, let alone American
citizens entitled to the protection
of the law and the economic op
portunities that our country af
fords. I have never had much
patience with such simulated fear
During my own lifetime, I have
seen great strides made in the di- j
rection of a cessation from race
prejudice. In my Department,
people are employed on the basis
of their American citizenship and
their capacity to do the job that
there is to do. To my knowledge,
there have been no other consid
erations. Men and women have
found that they could work toget
her and use the cafeteria and din
ing rooms together without any
bad results, even imaginary ones.
Of course from the beginning
there were employees in some of
the lower salary grades who were
Negroes but there were practical
ly none in the higher or profes
sional grades. I set about to cor
rect that. Interior has employed
Negro lawyers, architects and en
gineers and men and women in
salary grades well above those
that were taken for granted as
constituting the only classes to
which Negroes might aspire. On
my recommendation President
Roosevelt appointed the first Ne
gro United States Judge in our
history, a man who was justly re
spected and honored by Negroes
and whites alike, Judge William
H. Hastie, now Dean of the Law
School of Howard Uinversity
Judge Hastie was succeeded by
another man of his race, Judge
Herman Moore of Chicago. Th- e
have been other appointments of
dignity, standing and emoluments
that have gone to Negroes.
I count it as one of the great
privileges that has been mine to
preside at the Lincoln Memorial
that notable Sunday afternoon
when a great singer, great not
only because she is a member of
the Negro race but great as a hu
man being and superb as an art
ist, Marion Anderson, who was
born and reared in this city of
Philadelphia, sang to an enormous
gathering of 75,000 people, both
white and colored, who gathered
before the statue of the Great E
mancipator.
You will remember that the Da
ughters of the American Revolu
tion who, in that regard, were
more to be pitied than censored,
had denied her the use of Consti
tution Hall when another hall of
adequate size was unobtainable.
So we simply moved out under
Gods bright sun and there she
poured fourth the most glorious
voice thSft I have ever listened to

As an evidence that even the DAR

organization is supposed to com
memorate and glorify I might say
that subsequently it invited Mar
ian Andersou to smg in Constitu
tion Hall and accepted her condi
tion that on cne should be barred

(been a more recent inexplicable

POLICE IN NEGRO COMMUNI
TIES HAMPERED BY ‘STAR
GAZERS”
An example of the diseased type of
thinking we have been nurtured upon
over the years by the professional
“do-gooders,” “star-gazers,” etc., is
seen in the crime situation in Harlem.
While the crime problem of New
York City isn’t confined to Harlem
alone, but is greater in proportion in
other communities that are not white,
the situation in Harlem perhaps mir
rors that in other communities where
our people live in great numbers.
There are around 300 colored
members of the New York Police De
partment which has a total of around
14,000 depleted from a full comple
ment of 18,000 by the selective serv
ice, retirements, etc. Mayor-elect Wil
liam O’Dwyer has said that he in
tends to boost the force to 25,000
members. Thus, it can be seen, that
police protection for the world’s larg
est city is definitely inadequate and
that serious consequences can and are
developing because of a lack of per
sonnel.
The situations in Harlem has been
regarded as explosive for years.
Through no fault of their own (or
maybe it is really their own fault)
over a half million Neroes are cooped
up in a black belt and forced to live
in it because of a lack of living space
elsewhere, plus, of course, restrictive
covenants creating lilywhite communi
ties. Harlem was originally built to
accommodate around 40,000 citizens.
That was back in the early twenties.
It is now 1945 and buildings fairly
bulge with overcrowding by colored
tenants who have nowhere else to
live. It is so bad that many cases are
reported of people sleeping in door
ways, in the parks during the sum
mer, or on the subways.
Thus taxed, the social agencies have
been loathe and actually afraid to
stir up the simmering resentment of
the people against such conditions by
giving their sanction to police methods
which are universally accepted as
stamdard in dealing with large num
bers of people. The fear of rioting
has silenced many outspoken foes of
crime and crime-breeding conditions.
It is a known fact that one out of
every two Negroes in Harlem carries
a chip permanently on his shoulder
for any white person.
To them these whites are the ones
responsible for the plight of the Ne
gro. They represent members of a
race that lynch, bum, despoil women
and exploit persons unable to protect
or help themselves. When you bring
in hundreds of Negroes fresh from
southern cities and towns where they
had to live for years under an outright
system of Jim Crow, segregation, and
discrimination because of color, then
the problem takes on magnitude.
In many of these Negroes is crys
talized the pent-up hatreds of years
against the system that makes them
second-class citizens permanently, yet
which calls upon them periodically to
sacrifice life, limb and mentality fight
ing to keep such a system alive. They
are touchy about whites, but are di
vided into classes, one of which will
go out of its way to “get even” with
a white man, directly or indirectly,
and one which is still afraid. The for
mer class constitutes the roots of the
present evil in Harlem.
The Negroes new to New York
from the South or elsewhere where
they have encountered trouble living
with whites, are the first to fall vic
tim to loud-mouth propaganda from
I the soapboxes and the pulpit about
their rights, and the fact that they are
at last in a free land (Up North). This
sort of propaganda is delivered glibly
with the purpose in mind of stirring
mass hysteria to the point where it
can be cashed in upon. To minds un
prepared to digest this kind of talk, it
is frankly dangerous to the community
at large, white or black. The youth of
18, just off a boxcar from Mugwump,
Georgia, or Toot-toot, Florida, takes
such discussions at face value and as
a license for committing vandalism
and more serious crimes. Instead of
being educated to take the new ad- I
vantages in front of him with care |
and to enjoy them to the fullest, he!
gets the idea that he is entitled to '
right all the wrongs done him and his
ancestors over the years by doing
what he wants. The easiest thing for
him to do, as a consequence, are
muggings, petty stealings, assaults
and rapes, indiscriminately on Negro
or white.
Fearful of arousing an emotional
tempest already at the explosion
point, the social workers and others
have talked loudly about playgrounds,
recreational facilities, etc., instead of
the old-fashioned police nightstick.
Where the police problem in Harlem
would be immeasurably made simpler
if more Negro police were assigned
to details in the area, the stargazers
demand that the policemen on duty
in Harlem be “mixed,” white and col
ored. As a result, comparatively few
Negro policemen are on detail in Har
lem where they would be of more use.
An example is shown in an instance at
one precinct station in a solidly white
neighborhood! Several Negro cops are
on assignment there and complain
that all they do is watch the squirrels
in the park and the sea gulls over the
Hudson River.
They are fairly aching to ge a crack
at the muggers, thieves, and gang
