The ‘central idea' in our public opin ion at the beginning was. .'the equality of man-; and, although it has always submitted patiently to whatever seemed to be a matter of actual necessity, its constant working has been a steady and progressive effort towards the practical equality of all men’’. What Mr. Lincoln said so truly and so clearly in the middle of the 19th century is still true and must always remain true of America. Democracy in this country is test ed and proved in every generation by the degree to which it succeeds in applying the principles of the Declaration of Independence to the lives of all the American peo ple. Is there more opportunity for more people so that the sons of the lowliest may by the exercise of virtue and hard work, attain the goal toward which they strive? Are the civil rights of all guaran teed and protected so that, in the wise employment of them, men of talent, however obscure today, may live to bless the common life of us all tomorrow?

These are the questions which sincere and conscientious Ameri cans have always asked abdut Am erica and to which they have also sought the right answers. We can not escape these questions today anymore than Americans of the past could. For by them the pro gress of our American way of life is tested. We cannot escape them because, in Mr. Lincoln's words, the constant working of public opinion in America has been a steady and progressive effort to wards the practical equality of all men.” DANE—GELD By Ruth Taylor Kipling once wrote a poem about the Danish pirates who, nearly a thousand years ago, prey ed on the coast of England and collected Dane-geld to stay away; and he showed how fallacious was the idea that “Paying Dane-geld ever got rid of the Dane”. The nations of the world learned again at Munich that ‘peace in our time’ only meant that our time was measured. What's the difference in dicta tors ? Whether it be Mussolini strutting on his balcony, Hilter screaming in a rage—or Stalin making his puppets walk out when ever he can’t have his own way— or other lesser dictators, ready to do exactly the same things when ever the chips are not all on their side of the table? A dictator is a dictator and it never pays to appease him. But— the one thing we can always do is—not to do business with him. It doesn’t make any difference whether for the moment he is on our side of the fence or the other. His methods are wrong. And we certainly learned as children that the only way to make a bully change his tune is not to play with him. Brutal talk? Yes, but these be brutal times. The peace we hoped for after the war is not here. The peace we wanted we are not achie ving. Our time seems again to be but seconds. Why? Because we have appeased. We went about what we thought was our busin ess instead of taking care of the most important business of all. We agreed, compromised and ac quiesced in order to concentrate on our own affairs and forgot that in order to have the road smooth the line must be true. We paid Dane-geld—and not only overseas. Can we still correct our errors? We can—but only if as individu als we turn back to the straight line—and we must not do it at the expense of any one, of any group, of any nation. We must make up our mind what we want—and make everyone know that we do know what we want.

LEE An Item or Two About A Personality or Two NEW YORK—Hollywood has never permitted a Negro star to shine in the celluloid heaven it has created out of pure imagina tion. Photogenic Lena Horne has come closer to the distinction than any other Negro performer, but she has missed the mark by so great a margin, it is possible that she will soon fade unless she gets a break of some conseguence al most immediately. Miss Horne has been more wide ly publicized, more glamourously built up than any other perform er of her race. Her voice, which is mediocre, has been her chief asset from the Hollywood point of view, and whenever her charm ing likeness is flashed on the screen, it is even money bet that she is going to sing. The boys who are supposed to be in the know will tell you that studio execs are tearing out fistfuls of their thin ning hair trying to find a story that will fit the beauteous Lena. They say that Miss Horne can not act, and they could be right, but the truth is more likely to be, „ *=r she has never had a chance. For all of the vaunted liberalism of the Hollywood studio personalities there isn't the slightest nope that j a Negro actor of the highest abil ! ity will get a chance to rise to | stardom. Witness the slaughtering cf the exceptional ability of Can ada Lee in the film, “Lifeboat". Hollywood is not averse to using the device of token representation to satisfy the millions of Negroes who support the film industry. Ne gro actors are featured in grade A’ pictures in. segregated spots that flash on the screen for a few brief minutes, and which many times do not have a discernable relationship to the story. The art of buck-passing reaches its zenith in the film industry. The men who write the stories say it is the producers who are respon sible for the treatment of the Ne gro. The producers blame the men who write the stiries, and quest ioned together, the blame the pres sure of the southern market. Ac tually, the situation derives from an unwritten agreement by all con cerned to carry out the pattern of of lily-whitism, while proclaiming a desire to act without prejudice.

And the nation that plays it is lost!” '&wi \&/ BABYa Sy Edna Mae McIntosh There are some “tricks" about ntroducing new foods which it is iust as well to know about even •.hough you may not need to use :hem. * j Most babies love cod liver oil, providing mother doesn’t show in iny way that she doesn’t like it. It is not a good practice to mix it with other foods. Give it before the jath so that if some is spilled it doesn't get on his clothes. Orange juice is diluted with boil ed and cooled water. If it seems to upset him it may be put into his miik. If he is breast-fed, postpo: e giving it for two or three weeks and then start again, It may be added to the milk and put on his cereal and thus diluted. > Cereals, the special pre-cooked baby cereals, are usually the first more solid foods given a baby. At first use enough milk to make it quite liquid, more nearly like a thickened milk than a cereal. If your baby is breast-fed, starting cereal gives you an opportunity to introduce another form of milk— usually diluted evaporated mjlk. When the first strained vege table or fruit is given, it is fed with a spoon. This method helps to accustom your baby to the spoon as a utensil. If he doesn’t seem to like the new food, remember it is a new texture and consistency and not so much a matter of a new taste. Dilute it with milk for the first few feedings. Either vege table or fiuit may be thickened with some of his cereal. It makes the new food more like the cereal ho tslr-.nlv :.i. t -, ! Jackson-Cox In Prelim Go A few months ago Omaha's Eu gene Brown was working on an j impressive string of welterweight kayos. He looked like a sure com er. Then Warren Corbett cooled , the Omahan. That shot Corbett to the top of the preliminary-boy heap. And then last week Sioux City’s Jesse Jackson hammered out a de cision over Corbett; flooring the j Minnesotan twice. So now it’s Jackson who steps into the picture. Wednesday he was matched with Roy Cox, busy club fighter out of New Orleans, for a four-rounder on the August 12 Council Bluffs Legion Park out door card. The Legion card, probably the last outdoor show of the local sea son, will offer a double main event. Uancho De La Cruz will swap i punches with Sterling Ingram in a heavyweight 10-rounder while Jackie Burke and Deacon Logan will vie in the companion 10 rounder. They are middleweights.

Morthside Drama — By Al Sparks — TRAFFIC SAFETY RECORD A1 says this auto safety record contest reminds him of high school track meet competition, while he was watching Di Giorgio, Christ ensen won the race. But, trafficly speaking, we can still beat De troit’s record and save many lives in doing so. CONTEST Old Timer says these homicides, or whatever you call them, won't let him sleep and that what little sleep he does get, is marred by dreams. Last night he dreamed that the Negro news publications were sponsoring a nation-wide anti homiside contest offering cash prizes to the cities most success fu in surpressing casualties. Such cash prizes to be used to fight juvenile delinquency; the source of most crime. A1 says, if it is within his po wer, Old Timers dream will come true. PASSIVE RESISTANSE Whenever there is something in the paper which displeases him, one subscriber calls up and de mands a limited cancellation. Says a permanent (Cancellation would kill the interest. Old Timer says: ‘ Tell me the reason, it ain’t pleas ing’’. WHO’S NUTS The fellows in the office were debating the feasibility of using "mental immaturity”- to desccribe vandals, criminals and delinquents. One group maintained that vlw 1''n"s and crime was an indica thn of mental immaturity. An other group said that crime is not necessarily a sign of ‘mental immaturity”, the offenders just plain ‘‘didn’t care”. Old . Timer said mental immaturity did not necessarily mean insanity. A lady staff member said “only people who are mentally mature have enough sense to go crazy” A1 said ‘‘Nuts'’. QUALITY OF MERCY It appears that this fellow Tay lor has little appreciation for the quality of mercy. How many faiths did he break? Many Vets Buying Surplus Property Veteans of World War II are now buying more than half as much surplus property in one month as they formerly bought in six months.
