An Editorial and a Reply
ADVERTISING AGE, a trade journal, in its July 9 edition, ques
tioned the wisdom of establishing a permanent fair employment prac
tices committee. The publication used as its argument the old theory
that social changes must be accomplished by ‘‘education.’’
We are reprinting the editorial and a classic, effective reply from
H. B. Law, a Chicago advertising man, which was printed in current
issue of the AGE.
The editorial follows:
Fair Employment Practices
Our Washington grapevine tells us that the Fair Employment
Practices Act, which has been before Congress during the current
session, and which in one form or another has been presented to
many state legislators, will probably not pass before Congress
adjourns. Like the social security bills, however, it may be ex
pected to come up for further consideration later on. New York
State enacted a similar measure into law, and Illinois found that
its advocates put a lot of pressure behind it, although it failed of
enactment.
We think those representing minority groups who have been
pressing for legislation of this kind are well meaning, but we also
believe that they do their own people a disservice in attempting
to penalize, by fine and imprisonment, employers who do not
recognize minority groups on a proportionate basis of representa
tion. The only safe rule for any business is to employ and advance
on merit, but if fair employment practices were made a matter of
legislative edict, merit would have to be subordinated to the problem
of giving all groups representation in proportion to population.
In addition, we are far from convinced that the way to solve
social problems is by legislation, and this is essentially a social
problem. If there is racial prejudice which denies employment
opportunities to any group, the task is to educate the majority and
to break down the barriers of prejudice, not to compel acceptance of
policies for which neither employers nor the public are prepared.
Prohibition was a noble experiment, but it failed because the public
was not ready for it.
Most employers recognize the important principle involved in
fair employment practices and are working toward the goal of
justice to all, but progress will be hastened through education rather
than compulsion.
There you have some of the stock arguments used against FEPC.
Here is Mr. Law’s cogent reply:
To the Editor: It's interesting to see your editorial columns
wandering into such a touchy field as fair employment practices.
But I’d like to ask how and why a usually hard-headed com
mentator like yourself can get so gosh-awfully naive about a dyna
mite-loaded topic like this one.
I guess I’m one of those “well meaning representatives of
minority groups” whom you write off as “doing a disservice” to
their own cause. Anyway, I’m a sort of public relations counsel to
the city’s No. 1 inter-racial organization, and I’ve had my feet wet
clear up to my neck for quite some years. May I therefore raise
a few questions—all based on your editorial?
You say, “The only safe rule for any business is to employ
and advance on merit.” Obviously right! But isn’t that where the
whole trouble begins? If Negroes, for example, actually were “em
ployed and advanced on merit,” no one would even be thinking about
a Fair Employment Practices Act. How in the world can you
blithely wave aside the terrific pattern of discrimination and segre
gation which now exists?
You say, “If there is racial prejudice . . . the task is to educate
the majority, not to compel acceptance.” I have been spending
a lot of time, for quite a few years, trying to help do just that.
It is an excellent idea, but just about the toughest educational job
anyone could conceive. Of course such efforts are desirable. But to
set up any such long range program as a substitute for necessary
immediate action is certainly a naive concept, at best.
It seems mighty strange, too, to have a research-minded organi
zation like ADVERTISING AGE say that forced acceptance of
proper employment standards just doesn’t work. It would take
only a very little research, right here in Chicago, to show that it
does work beautifully.
• Force, as embodied in the wartime manpower shortage, and
force, as embodied in FEPC activities during the war, has been out
standingly successful. Successful particularly in the sense that
plants which began to employ Negroes because they couldn’t help
themselves have gone on to learn that nearly all those anticipated
difficulties just didn’t materialize. There are exceptions, of course,
but where the situation has been intelligently handled, the record
is almost unanimously favorable. Probably the greatest educa
tional job ever done in the field of race relations has been the
very simple one of letting millions of white workers find out for
themselves, by direct daily contact, that Negroes are human beings
and mighty likeable ones, at that.
You say, “Most employers are working toward the goal of
justice to all.” Will you please tell me how I can translate that
phrase to some of my very capable Negro friends who are looking
forward to the end of the war with one thought always uppermost
in their minds—the good old rule of "last hired and first fired.”
When business men try to dispose of this problem with a wave
of the hand and a few pat phrases, they are only kidding themselves
and side-stepping their basic responsibilities. I’m sure ADVERTIS
ING AGE is not one of those who are covering up a lot of vicious
prejudice with those same pat phrases—but you certainly are giving
aid and comfort to those who do.
So, may I ask that you go back to your own statement that
“the only safe rule for any business is to employ and advance on
merit”—and then tell us what methods short of legislative com
pulsion—or worse—will serve to correct present evils and head
off the terrific mass tragedy which lies just ahead for so many
millions of perfectly good American citizens ?
H. B. Law, Advertising, Chicago.
It has been demonstrated time and again that colored pupils in
the North outrank Southern whites in given tests. It is possible that
some tests may be geared to urban intelligence levels, thus handicap
ping pupils with rural background. Such inequities, we believe, should
be eliminated in any revised tests which may be formulated.
We ask no special tests, however. We don’t need them. Given equal
economic, social and educational opportunities, we’ll take on any tests
that come and let our record speak for itself—Afro-American.

The future means advancement but the past means achieve
ment. Youth would show wisdom to respect old- age.
Long on Talk,
Short on Action
There appears to be no ceiling on talk. For the last
four years, at least, we Negroes have rivaled the filibustering
tactics of Senate and Congressional poll-taxers in our con
tinual spouting about this and that on the race question with
positive action a stone-dead duck.
We hold mass meetings to protest or to demand this or
that; we stand on corners and gripe
and bemoan our fate; we take to
the pulpit and preach long and tire
some sermons about our rights,
and then we wind up everything
with a windy prayer to no one in
general but to the white man in
particular to let up a little and
give us a break.
Today’s positive action by Ne
groes seems confined to the activi
ties of the over a million Negroes
in the armed forces and to a scat
tered few civilian Negroes who are
sincere in their efforts to DO in
stead of TALK.
Armed Services Proving Grounds
Best job of all is being con
tributed by our sons and relatives
in the armed forces who are sacri
ficing life and limb to prove we are
entitled to economic, political and
social freedom.
They reasonably expect that
their efforts on the battlefields be
paralleled on the home front to
some degree so that the fight that
looms ahead will not be too hope
less. Instead, the record reveals
that the attention of the folks at
home center on talk and “note
writing.” The few concrete gains
seem to be those granted by the
white man when he sees advantage
for himself.
It is true that under the late
President Roosevelt the Negro
made certain advances in the line
of recognition of his ability, even
if most of such advances were con
trolled rigidly and under the con
stant supervision of the white man
as the final authority. Such was
still is the case in the numerous
“advisory” jobs the Roosevelt ad
ministration turned over to Ne
groes in Washington and through
certain State governments which
took their cue from the White
House.
Officer Personnel Is Increased
It is also true that the most
outstanding advance by the race
has been in the armed forces where
the Negro officer personnel has
been tripled over that of World
War I under President Woodrow
Wilson’s anti-Negro Democratic
machine.
This war has brought a Negro
a berth as a general in the army,
many others wear the insignia of
colonels, majors, captains and
lieutenants. However, in the light
of the history and politics of this
country, as well as the real back
ground of the war, one would not
ask amiss if he inquired further
into the question and found that
the Roosevelt policy of liberality
in advancing the Negro in the
armed services was not done “ac
cording to plan.”
Pearl Harbor posed many ques
tions, among them a pertinent one
involving color. It will be remem
bered still that Dorie Miller, first
Negro Naval hero, was a messman
and confined to that status because
of the overall policy of the Navy
Department.
There was also discerned in sub
sequent actions by Washington a
disturbed state of mind about the
so-called pro-Japanese subversive
acts allegedly committed by cer
tain groups of misguided Negroes
in Harlem, Chicago and Detroit.
In estimating the consequences, it
may be said that the Negro gain
ed from the very evident miscon
ception of where his loyalty lay.
Thus, it would seem that Roose
velt acted more to attain a certain
goal in welding all American ele
ments into a more or less solid
front against the “Yellow Peril”
than from any real benevolent in
tentions toward the Negro’s cause.
Recognition Not Due to Notes
If that be the case, then it can
be safely stated that this recogni
tion came without undue action on
our part aside from writing notes
to the President to complain of
By Dan Gardner
this or that.
It can also be observed that our
advancement in the postwar period
must be based on the amount of
fear we can inspire, for without
such inspiration of fear of our
political and economic strength,
we can expect little or nothing.
This is still a white man’s world;
the issues of the war today seem
to point to one of white supremacy
aside from the obvious necessity
of eliminating a dangerous foe.
In our case, this is still a white
man’s country and all the talking
on the corners, in the pulpits, on
the radio, and in the convention
halls will not change that situa
tion one whit until we prove as are
our men in uniform what we say by
actually going to bat, barring no
holds and giving no quarter.
To attain status we must at
tain respect from the white man.
Until we are willing to actually
fight, we will always be bound to
our present rating as “wards” of
the government and with “no
rights a white man is bound to re
spect.”
Better People Needed
There will never be a square
deal for the colored man in Am
erica until we get some better
white people.—Dr. Earnest Hooton.
Time Magazine’s July 23 edition

when he read it
Years ago she was Nellie Dod
son to the staff. Now she firmly

what New York (or age) does to

Marjorie Curry’s interesting
articles on Mexico sure covered a
lot of territory in this paper. In
the July 13 edition a part of the
Mexico article was found at the
end of McAlpins Washington
column. Kind of an international
collaboration.
Marjorie understands, though,
the vagaries and vicissitudes of
this business. And she is a for

Senator Eastland’s attack on
Liberia was based on a report on
that country 20 years ago. Twenty
years is a long time in the life of

If Involved in Accident
Motorists Are Warned
What Law Requires
Publicity concerning the require
ment for reporting motor vehicle
accidents to the State Highway De
partment, under the new Safety
Responsibility Act, has temporarily
obscured some other legal “musts.”
In order of priority, says a High
way bulletin, the law requires each
driver involved in an accident to
do these things:
• In all accidents, stop and dis
close identity. Render reasonable
aid to the injured, if any;
• If accident results in death or
bodily injury, notify immediately
the police, if within a city or vil
lage, otherwise the sheriff;
• If the accident results in death,
bodily injury, or total property
damage to an apparent extent of
SSO, make a written report to the
State Highway Department within
24 hours.
The driver of a vehicle causing
damage to an unattended vehicle
must locate and notify the driver
or owner or the police. The driver
of a vehicle causing damage to
fixtures on the highway, or proper
ty adjoining the highway, must
locate and notify the owner or
person in charge. If the damage
exceeds S6O the driver must also
make a written report to the De
partment of Highway*.

Deeper Motives Behind
Eastland’s Violent Attack
On U. S. Negro Troops
By Ralph Matthews in
Washington Afro.
Those among us who think Mis
sissippi’s Senator Eastland and
Bilbo made their vicious anti-race
speeches simply to win Dixie votes
or kill the FEPC are political and
economic adolescents. Their mo
tives go deeper than that.
These men are fighting to pre
serve a system. The South is still
a feudal fortress peopled with vas
sals and serfs exploited for the
benefit of the moneyed class.
Feudalism and slavery must be
perpetuated with force. Force is
not always physical. It can be
psychological, and the task of main
taining an atmosphere of force is
the job of the Bilbos, Rankins, and
Eastlands.
It is not necessary to maintain
an armed band of brigands, such
as Hitler created Ih his SS black
shirt Elite Guard, to keep people
in a state of fear.
Only a small percentage of the
citizens of Germany ever landed in
concentration camps, but the ex
istence of these camps, with popu
lar knowledge of the atrocities
visited upon the unfortunate, was
enough to keep a large mass of the
timid in check.
The Southern hierachy has a
cheaper and equally effective
scheme for keeping both colored
and poor whites in subjection.
They simply create a psychology
of fear in both races so that the
poor whites become the jailers of
the poor blacks. But in order to
do this, they must remain in an
economic jail themselves. Terror
is the handmaiden of low wages
and exploitation.
The guard in the prison is the
natural and fundamental enemy of
the man who wants to get out.
During the days of physical slav
ery, foreign travelers in America
were quick to observe that the
South was an armed camp. Every
Schuyler Cites Huge
Waste by People
George S. Schuyler in Pittsburgh Courier.
We need not mourn if no permanent FEPC is passed. We have done
extremely well in the past without one and can do better in the future if
we choose to do so. As a matter of fact, we can get on quite well without
ANY special Federal legislation in our behalf. Only our ignorance,
indigence and lack of confidence in ourselves has prevented us from
materially alleviating our housing problem. It seems to me that if we
can erect thousands of new church
es, support thousands of liquor
stores and spend a billion dollars
annually improving our appearance,
nothing is stopping us from sup
planting rookeries with modern cot
tages and skyscraper apartment
houses. I should imagine that Ne
groes in New York, Chicago, Phila
delphia, Detroit, St. Louis, Houston
and other cities have spent enough
money during the war making
needless visits to their home towns
to build several million-dollar apart
ment buildings. This would save
our group millions annually.
* * *
We have done next to nothing
during these war years to control
our consumption, and yet there is
no law anywhere preventing us
from cooperatively owning all the
establishments supplying us with
food, clothing and drink, nor from
operating the wholesale establish
ments and truck farms which might
supply the retail outlets. If we did
own them (which we could before
the end of 1946 if we wanted to),
I estimate that we could employ at
least 15 per cent of our workers in
such cooperative establishments
and farms. No FEPC would be
needed for that.
Although we use furniture, crock
ery, electric refrigerators, rugs,

white man, regardless of whether
he owned slaves or not, felt duty
bound at all times to carry a wea
pon. Slavery makes slaves of both
the victim and the master.
Which brings us to our point
The South knows that returning
colored veterans are not going to
take lying down the same kind of
treatment they endured before the
war.
The South also knows that in
order to maintain the status quo
it will need the help of all the
whites of the South, poor and rich
alike. Each white person must be
a committee of one to keep the
colored man in “his place.”
s So it was the job of Eastland to
build a feeling of bitter resentment
of all whites against colored vets
by spreading his infamous false
hoods about colored soldiers en
gaged in wholesale rape in Europe,
to strike fear in the hearts of
Southerners, and put them on the
alert when the boys come marching
home.
In this way the whites are men
tally rearmed with the desire to
lynch, a weapon they had appar
ently placed in its sheath during
the war.
The spokesmen of the South are
afraid that through educational
and civilizing processes, plus a
sense of gratitude, the few decent
people might develop tolerance to
ward their comrades in arms and be
inclined to live and let live.
This must never happen and so
again we have the red flag of rape
waved before the bull of Southern
passion, all for the purpose of keep
ing racial hatred and suspicion
alive, and the races at each other’s
throats.
That is the why of Eastland’s
speech. That is the why of Bilbo.
The fight on the FEPC was only
incidental and a sounding board for
their deeper motives.
sheets, towels, shoes and a hundred
other every-day items, the profit
from their sale seldom remains in
our group, and many of the places
of manufacture either do not em
ploy our folks or confine them to
the lowest types of work. When
one thinks of the clothing, hats and
undergarments we wear, and the
barber and beauty equipment we
use, one asks how much of this
could we make and sell to ourselves
and keep the profits ourselves ? We
allegedly make the best jazz music
and spend a fortune weekly on juke
boxes, but we neither manufacture
nor sell the records. We pioneered
with so-called Race records through
the Black Swan Company, but that
was twenty years ago, and we have
made no progress since then. The
whole music business is controlled
by whites, few of whom hire Ne
groes, except to perform. We need
no FEPC to curb this exploitation.
♦ ♦ ♦
Although we are a group of agri
cultural folk, we have no farm or
ganization worthy of the name to
help us get on and stay on the land.
We could own half of the Southern
farm land in a few years if we went
about it cooperatively. Certainly we
could control our farm credit
through cooperative banks.
Page 4—Minneapolis Spokesman Friday, July 27,1945
Truman, Southerner or American?
We know that it was the one man government of Franklin Roosevelt
that gave the Negro his greatest protection. No matter how liberal
President Truman may be in his own mind, unless he transmits that
liberalism to his cabinet officials and various bureau heads, and to
Congress, we will lose many of the gains we have made.
This then, is the thing that disturbs me. How much autonomy will
President Truman give to his aides ? Will Byrnes be permitted to carry
out in his State Department his South Carolina racial views? Will
Secretary of the Treasury Vinson ignore the presence of Negroes in
this government as he did when he was a Judge in Kentucky and later a
Congressman? Will the President go along with the southern leaders
of his party who, by virtue of seniority, control practically all important
committees in both the House and the Senate ?
How will the fact that the South is in the saddle affect the rights of
the over a million Negroes who have entered the armed services of this
nation. If the Ku Klux Klan or some reasonable facsimile of same be
created to thwart the rehabilitation of these loyal soldiers as citizens in
their home communities, will President Truman sit idly by as the late
President Wilson did, and Wilson’s successors, Harding and Coolidge?
Will the liberal policy of the Army in training and hospitalizing Negro
soldiers and wounded veterans be killed aborning, or will this policy be
continued and expanded over into the operation of the Veterans’ Admin
istration? Will these Negro soldiers be protected in their right to vote
in the South? Will discharged Negro soldiers be given all their rights
under the GI Bill of Rights in the South?
These and many other questions will have to be answered soon by
President Truman and his cabinet. When they are answered, then we
will know whether Truman is a southerner or an American;—W. 0.
Walker in Call-Post.
We also wish all hospitals were government owned and administered.
Negroes might get equal treatment from hospitals if the government
controlled, which is something they do not get at present—even in
Minnesota.
Most Negroes we have talked to favor socialized medicine. So do
we. Good health is a public need.

Lieutenant Howard Wells
Gives Readers Glimpse
Of Occupied Germany
Hello Mr. Newman: I’m still in
Germany, for how long I don’t
know, then to C. B. I. It’s very nice
here now, the country is beautiful.
Most of the small villages are
standing but the cities and indus
trial districts are leveled to the
ground. Food isn’t so scarce now
“it’s summer,” but this winter will
be very bad on all civilians. Hav
ing been in England, France and
Belgium and now Germany I can
understand why Germany was so
hard to beat. It is or “was” the
most modern country in Europe.
Now everything is being stripped.
Every American has a German
trophy from sword to some piece
of furniture. At one time our men
were carting around beds from de
molished bombed homes. We had
to make them stop because they
not only wanted to cart around beds
but started to adding other pieces
of furniture.
You see a truck company has 50
trucks, 124 men and five officers.
All the trucks had full loads of
furniture so there was no place for
the equipment. You know what
happened, the furniture had to go!
We have from 20 to 30 P. W.’s
(Prisoners of War) with all the
time. They clean the yards, motor
pool, do K. P., make beds, mop the
floors, wash trucks, change tires.
These Germans sure work hard for
two meals a day!
The Military authorities have had
a hard time discharging the P. W.’s.
Some of them have refused dis
charge three or four times. New
rules now make it mandatory for
them to accept discharge. Some
of them cry about it weeping
openly. They have no place to go,
their homes and families are gone,
and there is little or no food to be
had with not much chance of a job.
I’ve had a lot of people argue
about what is most important thing
in life. From my experience over
here I think food is the most im
portant. Some of these people here
had plenty at one time, everything
a person would want. Now they
would do almost anything for a
good square meal.
I really enjoy the paper. You
