Mr. Roosevelt’s Opportunity
The fate of President Roosevelt’s Fair Employment Practices Com
mittee is in his own hands. The Committee, recently defied by dis
criminating Southern railroads and unions and presently a target for
Congressional investigation, will live or die by fiat of the President
himself
When Mr. Roosevelt ordered the Army to take over the country’s
railroads Monday night, to avert traffic stoppage in the railway wage
dispute, he placed himself in a position to enforce any order the FEPC
has issued. Enforcement of the FEPC directive ordering the railroads
to desist discriminatory practices against Negroes would strengthen
the arm of the agency. It would also go a long way to convince the
U. S. that discriminatory practices are on the way out during the war.
With the railroads openly violating the Presidential Order 9346
forbidding racial or religious discrimination, the President’s course
should be clear to him and his advisors.
The situation presents the second test as to whether President
Roosevelt actually meant business when he set up the Committee and
really wants his executive orders carried out in such matters.
The first test was the result of the emasculation of the original
commitee after its first hearing in the South. Public opinion forced the
administration to remove the Committee from the shelf and to reorgan
ize it more substantially with a larger budget.
Recently the work of the FEPC has been effective and productive
of results as well as the expected criticism from the wrong doers. Its
activity has angered the reactionary Southern congressmen and they
are out for the “kill.” Roosevelt can very easily close the R. R. vs.
FEPC issue by upholding the decision of his Committee and granting
to Negro railroad firemen and others opportunity for upgrading.
The government has forced much of industry to upgrade Negro
employees with excellent results to the war effort in morale, interracial
understanding and production. The Southern railroads and unions are
no better than the other industries which are complying with Presiden
tial Order 9346.
If Roosevelt backs down now, the domestic battle to give the people
at home some of the democracy for which we are spilling blood the
world over will receive a definite setback. Roosevelt will lose much
respect of the people who believe in the rights of all citizens according
to the professed American concept.
Strangely many people who demand that we win the war with speed
want achievement of first-class citizenship rights for Negroes to wait
and eome—if at all—slowly!
A quick road to popularity with white audiences for the Negro
speaker is to tell such listeners not the truth but what they like to hear.
Fortunately the number of Negro platform speakers who “bull”
the white folks is diminishing. However, one will crop up every now
and then and line his pocket with the money of gullible whites, but
wreak havoc on the progressive education of white people who need to
know the truth about the Negro—not a lot of soothing compromising
mythical bunk and double-talk.
However, the business and professional whites are changing some.
union whites can spot a phony Negro a mile away. The middle
class whites who used to be soft touches for Negro soothsayers and
their rackets now check with Negro social agencies, business men,
professionals, newspapers or reliable clergymen before they shell out
shekels to build a school or build or buy a church somewhere. It’s better
all the way around. The established institution or individual doesn’t
mind being checked upon. Nobody suffers but the guy with something
shady up his sleeve. Naturally he hollers like a stuck pig!
The haves are always advising the havenots how to have, but you
never notice many of the haves sharing what they have.
Some newcomers to the Twin Cities can always pick out a million
glaring things wrong with us. It often causes us to wonder what was
wrong with the place they left?
From the tenor of the letters this newspaper receives from men and
women in the services they expect the Negro press and Negro leader
ship to press forward for legitimate participation in the industrial,
economic and political life of city, state and nation. From what they
say they will want no part of those who fail them while they are out
there in the mud and filth of the fox-holes.
We see by the morning papers that Governor Thye has appointed
a St. Paul man to the state industrial commission.
We wonder why G.O.P. governors have never found it expedient to
reward some of the Minnesota Negro Republican stalwarts by good jobs.
Raymond W. Cannon of Minneapolis and Hammond Turner of
St. Paul, faithful adherents of the Minnesota G.0.P., could serve on any
of the state commissions with credit. We don’t mean any honorary
commission! We mean some of those commissions where the members
are paid a good salary.
That old excuse which some politicians raise about the size of the
Negro vote in this state is not sound for why should a Negro, or a
Swedish American or an Italian American or German American be
kept from rendering service to the state because of the number of his
fellow citizens. It doesn’t make sense. Don’t tell us that there are no
Negroes qualified for high appointive offices in this state because
we are well acquainted with the intelligence, experience and training
of most of state office holders and believe us, it’s not way above average.
Maybe it’s not the fault of the various state administrations.
Maybe Negro politicians in Minnesota are too easily satisfied with a
share of the campaign funds and the plaudits of the election period
crowds. If they don’t get a plum for themselves they ought to get a
few jobs for their faithful followers.

Negroes in the Army
The segregation of colored troops in our armed forces is producing
some ironical situations in the mechanics of the draft. The Navy, Air
Corps, Marines and variously specialized branches of our military
establishment can only use a limited number of Negroes. That has the
inevitable effect of slowing up the rate at which the latter are inducted,
and, conversely, of accelerating the rate at which white selectees are
being called up. This is markedly evident in the South.
The other day, Rep. Charles E. McKenzie, of Louisiana, spoke up
in deep anguish against this state of affairs. The local boards, he
pointed out, can do nothing about the situation. Their hands are tied.
The fault Is in Washington, which is deliberately keeping Negroes out
of the draft; while white men, pre-Pearl Harbor fathers, mind you, are
compelled to go. “Has it come to pass,” Mr. McKenzie asks, “that the
color of a man’s skin is the basis for his being deferred even if he is
single and has no dependents?” To buttress his argument, he quoted
a remarkable editorial from The Morehouse Enterprise, Bastrop,
Louisiana.
It would seem that the first batch of pre-Pearl Harbor fathers has
left Morehouse parish; and that there are 267 colored men in 1-A who
are kept at home because there has been no “colored call.” It just isn’t
fair. The editorial goes on to say with charming ingenuousness:
“Simply because the government doesn’t seem to want Negroes in the
armed service is no excuse. It is race discrimination and the colored
men in Morehouse Parish feel that it is putting them in an inferior
classification.”
Representative McKenzie has not yet perfected any plan which
makes it possible for his constituents to eat their cake and have it too.
He is certain, however, that “such discrimination is detrimental to the
morale of the nation.” We may not be talking about the same thing,
but you aren’t kidding, Mr. McKenzie!—New Republic.
Editorial Jottings
Do's and Don'ts
“I promise to: watch my conduct at all times, to stop
swearing on the street or in public, to stop spitting on the side
walk, to make time on my job, to stop being sullen when the
boss asks me to do something, to support the war effort, to
buy more bonds and to read my local Negro newspaper each
week.”
Courier Writer Replies to
Raymond Clapper’s Attack
On FEPC Railroad Case
Editor’s Note: The syndicated column
of Raymond Clapper is an editorial page
feature of one of the local daily news
papers. Clapper’s recent attack on the
F. E. P. C. handling of the railroads and
railroad brotherhoods surprised many, for
By P. L. Prattis in the Pittsburgh Courier
It is not too difficult to ignore the patently cockeyed
sophisms of Westbrook Pegler because he aims not to please,
but to displease, to incite controversy. But Raymond Clapper
is not Westbrook Pegler. Many Americans are influenced by
what they consider the balanced judgment of Mr. Clapper.
He is right and impartial on so many issues that you may not
be mentally prepared to detect the
fact when his train of reasoning be
gins to run off the track. Mr. Clap
per is important to minorities, be
cause, in a sense, he speaks the
mind of that considerable group of
white Americans who think that
they are thoroughly judicial, fair
and practical. He, like they, would
deny that he has any racial preju
dice and he, like they, is against
racial discrimination—in principle.
Mr. Clapper’s observations on the
directive of the President’s Com
mittee on Fair Employment Prac
tices to the railroads, ordering
abolition of the practice of dis
crimination in employment, and on
the railroads’ reply to the commit
tee, are not only in error, but they
constitute a special problem in
themselves.
“Only mischief, disunity and fur
ther irritations of race relations
can come from the point being
pressed by the FEPC that the
railroads must open up more oper
ating jobs to Negroes,” writes Mr.
Clapper.
Obviously, Mr. Clapper is think
ing in terms of existing racial
prejudice in this country and those
who harbor it. He is not one of
them. He essays the role of the
dispassionate, objective commenta
tor. But he believes that fairer
employment practices on the rail
roads will increase the rancor and
resentment among prejudiced
Americans and possibly add to their
numbers. He ignores the existence
of thirteen million American citi
zens who are victims of this dis
crimination and the reaction among
them to this continued discrimina
tion. In effect, he counsels that it
is better to ignore the feelings of
these thirteen millions, who simply
seek the opportunities due any and
all Americans, than to challenge
the attitude of color-prejudiced
Americans who have sought in ev
ery way possible to prevent the
Negro from making his full con
tribution to the war effort.
Mr. Clapper continues: “Racial
discrimination should be discour
aged wherever practical . . .
But such a doctrinaire and arbi
trary insistence on racial equality
as this committee insists on, is
more likely to aggravate our prob
lem than to solve it”
One wonders if Mr. Clapper has
no sense of shame to restrain him
from writing that “racial discrim
ination should be discouraged
WHEREVER PRACTICAL.” Isn’t
that the same as saying that it
should ONLY be discouraged where
practical, that it should only be
discouraged where those who har
bor racial prejudice agree that it
should be discouraged? Mr. Clap
per is quite willing that we should
go the limit in combatting Jap
anese domination in the Pacific and
German domination in Europe, but
he would restrict our fight against
domination of some Americans to
the terms proposed by those who
dominate. That doesn’t make sense
and Mr. Clapper knows it.
He Is Unrealistic
Mr. Clapper says that the rail
roads are more realistic than the
MINNEAPOLIS SPOKESMAN
he has a reputation for being both fair
and factual. The best answer to Clap
per’s article we have read is that of the
Pittsburgh Courier, editor. Percival L.
Prattis, which we reprint here:
President’s committee because they
display more solicitude for existing
prejudices. He attributes to the
railroads the belief that “it is ut
terly unrealistic to suppose that
problems of such delicacy (of pay
ing all Americans the same wage
for the same job and of giving all
Americans a chance to advance ac
cording to merit) can be solved oufc
of hand by the fiat of the com
mittee.”
I believe the committee is more
realistic than either Mr. Clapper
or the railroads. Simply, racial
prejudice, either that shown by
Germany or that of the Anglo-
Saxon nations, Great Britain and
the United States, is at the core
of this bloody, destructive global
struggle in which civilization is in
volved. Mr. Clapper will not deny
this. He knows that to win the
war and the peace we have got to
convince the hundreds of millions
of colored people in Asia that our
future relations with them are not
to be characterized by the arro
gance and racial snobbery which
was true of the past. Most Ameri
cans know this. Most Americans
are willing to try to prove this, to
make some concessions in respect
to those peoples far away. But
Americans, as a whole, refuse to
see the relationship between their
racial attitudes at home and their
racial attitudes abroad. They fail
to understand that as long as their
prejudices run rampant at home,
they will continue to be suspect in
Asia, Africa and South America.
Billions of dollars in lend-lease can
not change this fact.
That is the realistic point of view
which Americans stubbornly refuse
to face.
Give Sons, Hold Bias
Americans don’t want to give
up their prejudices. They would
rather give up their sons and
daughters than to give up their
prejudices. Just as Negroes fight
for an opportunity to work, they
also insist that they be given their
chance to die on the battlefront.
But racial prejudice, so far, for
bids. Negro fighters are kept off
the battleships. Negro soldiers are
held behind the lines to perform the
menial, drudge-like tasks of the
Army. Of course, a few Negroes
are killed and wounded. But young
white America, because of preju
dice, is being forced to do a dis
proportionate share of the dying
in this war. The next generation
of white Americans is being sac
rificed on the battlefield. The next
generation of black Americans is
not. This shows how stubborn race
prejudice is.
Dangerously Confused
I deplore the fact that Mr. Clap
per should refer to the delicacy of
the problem. That has been the
attitude of Americans ever since
this country was born with the
stain of human slavery on its flag.
As a whole, this nation has never
had the moral courage to face the
issue of racial prejudice. This
issue is a closet of dirty clothes
in the house of democracy, the
door to which we try to keep
closed. There are limits to the ca-

parity of the closet. There’ll come
a time when dirty clothes will be
strewn all through the house. This
is the time which Mr. Clapper and
others will not see. They do not
realize that this sin of racial preju
dice weakens the character of the
nation, that it is a problem which
concerns America, as a whole, more
than it does the minorities which
suffer from it. Any malady, so in
sidious, so deadly, must be worked
on, no matter how delicate the
operation. Mr. Clapper is like the
man who would take a chance with
the ravages of a disease rather
than trust to an operation. Some
times, such persons are cowardly;

And midnight falls as frost upon a final rose, *•
The year born only yesterday in clinquant mirth,
Weary and tattered, seeks realms God only knows.
Young and eager New Year cannot bide the dawn,
But rushes through the night to greet the sun,
Past dark and sullen eyes that hold it pawn,
To lose its way and all the precious distance won.
0, gay young year, we would not set you weeping,
But your nativity is war, perverted brotherhood,
Those youths you stumbled over were not sleeping,
The dampness was not dew you trod but blood.
Come back, young year, and start again in light,
For moonlight holds no keys to victory and peace,
Dreams are for shadows, truth’s invisible at night,
You take a sunlit road to Freedom’s true release.

Where men are not just black, white, big or small,
But where each human plays his whole-souled part,
With room, full hope, God-given rights for all!
