THANKSGIVING
A nation at war for survival must of necessity
take short notice of festivities appropriate to such
an occasion as our Thanksgiving. The Negro people
have put their shoulders to the grim task of bringing
ruin upon a formidable enemy, and they are fortified
by the faith that by their efforts, there will result
blessings for which all America may be truly grate
ful. The finer impulses of mankind which are given
expression on Thanksgiving must be instilled into
the hearts of our valiant people who are engaged
in a vast crusade to rid the world of a great evil.
The recent victories of our fight'ng forces at
opposite ends of the globe cheer us this day and
streng*hen our resolve to make ourselves worthy
of their great courage. While we give thanks for
these fortunate events on the line of battle, we take
heart to defeat at home these native forces which
would nullify those foreign triumphs. We dedicate
ourselves to the conquest of the slave-makers and
we are thankful that we have the courage and the
right to make war against them, for in being able j
and free to fight, we have the prerequisites for
eventual victory.
POLL TAX TYRANTS
War against freedom and democracy has been
declared in the Senate of the United States. The
poll tax senators have made a joint declaration to
the world that they will hold up this global war and
risk the enslavement of the American people rather
than acquiesce in the majority will to abolish the
fascist instrument by wh’ch vast millions of citizens
are denied the right to vote. These poll tax senators
are traitors to their country, to the cause of the
United Nations and to the faith which inspired the
great champions of human freedom throughout
history.
Bellowing like mad bulls, the Dixie senators are
trying desperately to drown out the truth and to
obscure the essential facts contained in the anti
poll tax issue. Senator Bilbo and others have tried
to frighten the Senate and the American public into
bel’eving that the poll tax issue is no more than a
Negro issue. They have appealed to the prejudices
of the ignorant and to the fears of the more for
tunate. They have side-stepped the fact that whereas!
four mill’on Negroes were disfranchised by the poll j
tax, more than six million poor whites of the South |
are in the same rotten boat.
Here is abundant proof of how far southern!
tyrants will go to keep their dark brothers in the
iitolt \They are willing to sacrifice six million
whites;/rather than recognize the true citizenship
of Negro Americans. They would, by the same
token and with the same logic, be willing to surrender
to Hitler tomorrow, if they but believed that by
winning the war the American Negro would be
liberated. They would cancel out the lives of their
own sons who are dying on the battle fronts of the
world rather than see the emancipation of the Negro
today just as their fathers did before them in the
Civil war.
The true nature of their treachery must be
faced by all who love democracy. These traitors
must be fought, Tterally and figuratively, and they
must be crushed not for the sake of Negroes alone,
but for the <ake of human freedom in the modern
world. The poll tax senators represent the van
guard of the fascist bloc in America who are rendv
to destroy every vestige of democracy for white
and black al’ke.
It is time for Americans to wake up and recog
nize the real enemies of this country and the demo
cratic fa th upon which it was founded. The poll
tax fight has brought the rattlesnakes out in the
open and in the frenzy of their opposition, they have
barda their traitorous fangs for the world to see.
There can be no compromise with these enemies and
there can be no peace. Unless these elements are
rooted up and cast out of our democracy, they will
grow stronger stilf and rob Negroes and the common
people, regardless of race, of their heritage of lib
erty and freedom forever. It happened in two short
decades in Germany and in two more decades, it can
happen here.
MASS DELEGATION
Determined to eliminate the vicious practice of
job discrimination and segregation which is jeopard
izing the war effort and violating the citizensh'p
of the Negro people, the Citizens’ Committee on War
Jobs, headed by the Reverend Charles A. Hill, sent
a mass delegation to Washington last week. The
nation’s capital is beginning to learn that Detroiters
mean business and they not only talk about an issue,
they take action.

NIGHT SHIFT. th. new novel by
Maritta Wolff, (Random House.
New York City, 1942. $2 75) has
enough material for several novels
There it a richness here, an ex
pansive quality which makes for a
| wealth of detail but which definite-
J ly cushions the impact of the book
I Careful pruning would have given
the book a punch which it just
misses having in its present form. 1
NIGHT SHIFT :s the story of two
sisters, Petey and Sally, set against
the background of an industrial
city. Sally is sweet, good, a devoted
mother to her three children whose
father is confined to the state hos
pital with a mental disorder. Sally,
a waitress, finds keeping her home
together no easy Job and her broth

-ace. Geneticists today know that
there is no proof of “mental ability
and cultural achievement being as
sociated with the genes which de
termine akin color, hair form, nose
shape or any other physical charac
ter.” The author examines briefly
the examples of race mixture In
Hawaii, in Australia, in Tahiti and
India—white and Negro—white
crosses in this country. No evidence I
has been found to support the Idea j
that race mixture results in a<n in- J
ferior stock.
The final chapter of the book Is :
called "Ra-e and Democracy” and
emphasizes the need for improving I
our democracy so that all may share
in its benefits. Mr. Montage be- j
I.eves that through education false j
ideas of race may gradually be
eliminated. There is a short Intro
duction by Aldous Huxley who
emphasizes the importance of the I
author’s ‘heory that individuals in
I their race prejudices reflect the !
'frustrations of early life. The book j
is short and to the point and in [
plain language rejects the mistaken
ideas on race which have been so
widely accepted.
A new magazine, Negro Digest,
has just made its bow. Published in
Chicago it Is a digest of articles
and comment about the Negro. In
cluded in this first issue are articles
by Walter White. Carl Sandburg.
Horace Mann Bond, Langston
Hughes, Rev. Bernard Shell, Louis

Walter Davenport has an article ;
on the Negro in Collier’s for No
vember 21. Entitled. "The Negro
Lifts His Head,” the article outlines
the situation in which Negroes find
themselves today. Problems in In
dustry, In the army, and in civilian
life are noted as is the South’s at
titude that war or no war it will
make no changes in its sacrosanct
system of racial division. Mr. Dav
enport handles his material fairly
although I would challenge his
statement that if “the professional
Kluxers and the salaried defend
ers” were to stop agitating, things
would be improved. By salaried de
fenders I suppose he means men
like 'Walter White, without whom
the efforts of Negroes might be
more divided but certainly no less
directed to change. Mr. Daverport
states at the conclusion of his ar
ticle that the government has no
solution and it is this lack of pro
gram which is to be criticized.
terior with a heart of gold. None
of them seem to come alive and
the worst failure in this respect is i
San, whom Petey loves and who |
remains an unreal hulk to the
reader.
Miss Wolff is a careful observer
and the wealth of detail with which
she packs her book is testimony of
her ability in this direction. Yet,
here too. there is a hackneyed qual
ity, a repetition of unimportant
characteristics, an over-use of
cliches. It is here that Miss Wolffs
immaturity is perhaps most appar
ent. Not yet 24. this is her second
novel and an unusual one in many
ways. With more careful selection
of material and an eye for distin
guishing details Miss Wolffs work

Her first novel, WHISTLE STOP,
won the major prize for fiction in
the Avery Hopwood awards at the
University of Michigan two years
ago. Detroiters will see something
familiar in the city described in

I what misleading since the night

| In MANS MOST DANGEROUS
MYTH: "HE FALLACY OF RACE
| by Ashley Montagu-(Columbia Uni
versity Press. New York, 1942 $2.25)
the author examines and discredits
the usually accepted ideas associ
ated with the concept of race. Mr
Montagu in a chapter on the origin
of the race concept points out that j
it is a j ore or less modern de- i
velopment. Prior to the eighteenth
century all men were looked upon
as members of the human race with
no idea ~t one group being superior
or inferior. With the growth of
abolitionist ideas in England and
France went an attempt on the part
of those on the other side to justify
slavery by showing that the en
slaved were members of an inferior
race. We are well aware of how this
attack was used in our own country
in the early years of the nineteenth 1
century and how the effects of the j
arguments have plagued the Negro
down to the present day. It is only
recently that scientists have expos
ed the fallacy of considering race as
a “compound of physical, mental,
personality and cultural traits
which determine the behavior of
the individuals inheriting this al
leged compound." Mr. Montagu
slates that i term race should be
used only in referring to the five
or six large divisions of man, it
should be replaced completely by
the word “caste" in a cultural sense
and by the exp-ession, “ethnic
group” in the biologic sense.

OLD JIM CROW MUST GO
By William Henry Huff
(For ANP)
I'm sick and tire * of old Jim Crow;
Why don't we bury him?
I tell you now that guy must go—
You've had your day and done your
dirt.
The demons want you now;
'Tis time for you t~ feel that hurt—
Come on and take your bow.
Hammering home' their protests against the
wanton abuses which Negro men and women job
seekers are suffering in this area, the strong dele
gation presented the government agencies and Con
gressman Tolan with a clear picture of our griev
ances and demanded immediate action. Pointing out
that the current controversy over the manpower
shortage is meaningless in view of the biased em
ployment policies of many large industries in Detroit,
they urged the government agencies to face the facts.
We have been told that the Fair Employment
Practice committee is seriously considering the hold
ing of a hearing in Detroit. There can be no mistake
about the necessity for holding this hearing now.
The presence of this large committee in Washington
should be enough to indicate the unrest among the
rank and file here over these employment abuses.
If the government agencies do not act, we shall re
double our efforts and intensify this fight for greater
participation for Negroes in the war effort, as good
Americans should. We are at war, and the indus
trialists are not going to be permitted to indulge
in their peacetime caprices in this matter of color.

The Facts In
Our News
By HORACE A. WHITE
LABOR AT THE
CROSS ROADS >
The Republican victory in the
recent election has brought labor
to a crisis in this war period. Once
the reactionaries saw the election
returns, they immediately started
to “hit" at labor. Bills were thrown
into the hopper to the effect that
the 4 hour week should be elim
inated. There were those who felt
also that the National Labor Re
; latlons Board should be abolished.
The first point is worthwhile con
sidering a little more intensively.
Claims are that England has re
moved its limitations to the num
ber of hours a person may work
during the week. They argue that
, the average work week in England
, is 57 hours, and it is further staled
! that the average working hours in
| the United States is 48 hours in a
j war plant. The op onents of the
! 40 hour week in America say that
i because of England’s long experi-
I ence in the war, England sets the
[ pattern for the work week in Amer
i ;ca during war tim' Such people,
| however, fail to stick to the facts.
| and of course, have no desire to
j stick to the facts. It must be point
j ed out that ther-* is no penalty put
I on war overtime work in England.
! Our present industrial set-up in re
| lationship to government contracts
j puts a penalty on our overtime pay.
|ln addition to that, manufacturers
j and management are reluctant to
extend overtime opportunities to
workers because it is time and a
half. In England, there is no re
s’ ! ction against overtime pay, for
the government and the manufac
turers can put it in as a legitimate
cos' and in fact, sn encouraged cost

in the manufacture of arms.
What the reactionaries in this
country want, of course, is not what
is happening in England. They
should like for the work week to
be extended so that the workers can
work longer hours for regular pay. :
Therefore, since thousands of work- I
err want time and a half on all over
their 40 hours, the manufacturer
does not encourage overtime work
It also should La pointed out that
England’s average working time I
| was 67 hours a week. England had I
not tried this very long before it
discovered that tlw really were
not putting out more work for hav
1. men work such long hours. In
fact, there is a point of diminish- j
ing returns, in the wor’: week. When J
workers become tired there is more
waste, there a- . more accidents, I
there is much more idleness when
the work week i too long. So the
English manufacturers asked in the
majority of cases, that the work
week *be cut to an average of 54
It seems to ua then that labor
has got to begin to get the facts out
to the people that a longer work
week will not produce more arms
and what the manufacturers want
when they talk about a longer work
week is a chance to get a greater
production at a lower cost. The
government's penalty on overtime is
an effort to prevent manufacturers
from taking advantage of the war
emergency to run up the cost and
to change labor standards drasti
cally—as the manufacturers would
surely do. Therei is no question,
however, but that a realistic solu
tion could be worked out, namely,
overtime could he encouraged, with
time and a half pay for all over
time. The government could stand
by its 40 hour week program aQd
insist that manufacturers pay time
and a half for overtime on govern
ment contracts. There must be an
adequate interpretation of England's
experience in this whole matter.
Labor'will have to take the respon
sibility to see that a clear interpre
tation is made on the basis of the
bills now in Congress. The expan
sion of the work week will hinder
our production in war time.
The time must never come when
As a private citizen, I am not
supposed to lie . . . but if I am
! sent abroad as a diplomatic repre
-1 septative, I am not only allowed
but expected to lie if it contributes
to the good and glory of my
country.
As a private citizen, I am not al
lowed to steal . . . but If I am
king or president, dictator or prime
minister, premier or secretary of
state, I can send soldiers into an
other country, (provided it is small
er or weaker) and exploit them,
steal from them, rob them, enslave
them . . . and then lie to the
citizens of my own country and
no one will think worse of me for
what I am doing. Governments live
outside of moral law.
* * *
Washington, London, Moscow, as
well as Vichy, Berlin, Tokio, and
Rome, do things almost daily which
if done by an individual would
land him in jail or disgrace him
forever. I.* diplomats paid any at
tention to the words: equity, ethics,
right, justice and honesty, the world
today would not be bathed In blood
and the flower of our manhood
would not be on its way to an un
timely grave. But. it appears that
as soon as an individual becomes
a member of the governmental
family he is supposed to strip him
self of all moral standards. The
State, having no force short of war,
to compel it to obey certain moral
■law*, has errmc to-feel itself above
moral restraint.
* * *
I realize that this is a terrible ar
raignment. I know that the thought
advanced here is appalling to those
who want to make themselves be
lieve that the leaders of the world
are growing better in their dealings
one with the other, and more con
siderate* of weaker peoples' rights
we feel that recreation and relax

WE HONOR ...
Friend*, we would like for you |
to know better, this week's person- j
allty. Ramon S. Scruggs, good
looking young branch manager of
•jhe Michigan Bell Telephone com
pany. |
Ramon comes from the “Athens
of the South.” Nashville, Tenn..
where he was born, reared and
educated. He finished the famous
Pearl high school in Nashville, then
attended Tennessee State college,
and finally graduated—-from Fisk
university.
Upon graduating from Fisk. Mr.
Scruggs was named one of the two
Negro representatives employed by
the Rumford Baking Powder com
pany. While working in this capa
city, he travelled in 10 states as a
public relations person, promoted
sales and conducted large cooking
schools which averaged from 800 to
1,500 in attendance The employ
ment of Mr Scruggs and Mr Tyus
by the Rumford company began a
wave of the employment of Negroes
as representatives in large white
concerns.
Upon leaving the Rumford com
pany. our guest became the director
of Green Pastures Camp, the SIOO -
000 Urban League camp for boys
and girls. From there he became
Boy's Secretary of the St. Antoine
branch Y.M.C.A. where he stayed
for four years, and when he left,
the membership had increased from
350 to 800 boys.
The first Negro to be hired by
the Bell Telephone company in a
capacity other than custodian was
our honoree. He went there as a
commercial agent and since then
haa been promoted to the position
of branch manager of the telephone
company. The office is located at
1413 Gratiot avenue. Working un

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1942
* CBOSS THAT BRIDGE NOW!!'
Hi
and privileges. I know it is dis
heartening to millions of weaker
peoples whose loved ones die daily
in a dozen battle areas of the world
because they believe they fight for
their own freedom as well as the
freedom of all mankind. But the
truth of this statement is borne out
by Winston Churchill's speech be
fore the House of Commons in
which he confessed that inspite of
the Atlantic Charter or the high
sounding platitudes mouthed by
himself, he, Winston Churchill, has
not “become the king's first min
ister in order to preside over the
liquidation of the British Empire."
* * *
The nerve of Mr. Churchill! He
would never have dared make this
statement a few months ago when
the Axis were at the very gates
of Britain, and British troops were
on the run everywhere. No. What
he did in those dark was
meet in mid-Atlantic with the
President of our country and prom
ise the people of the world free
dom. Yes, freedoms of all kinds.
Help yourself to freedom . . . don’t
take one, take two, three, four. Peo
ple must be free from domination
by others, he said; they must have
the right to live their own lives.
These promises were alright for
then . . . but now things are dif
ferent. Statesmanship and diplom
acy at that time demanded that the
millions dominated and exploited
by the British Empire be told some
thing to fflWPPflyg them W fight.
Hence the "great Atlantic Charter.”
* * *
Now these millions are fighting
in a dozen battle areas of the world.
The fortunes of war are turning
slightly in favor of the United Na
tions. Things are not as dark as
they once were. Mr. Churchil’ feels
therefore that “Now it can be told.”
Now we can let India know that
Great Britain has ne intentions of
giving her freedom. Africa can
know now that she will still re
main under the heels of her mas
ters. It matters not what he prom
ised at the beginning of the war. as
a diplomat and statesman all was
said for sake of king and country.
Mr. Willkie said that everywhere
he traveled abroad, small nations
feared the Atlantic Charter did not
apply to them. It appears from Mr
Churchill’s recent speech before the
House of Commons, that their fears
were well founded.
* * *
For a specimen of sheer hypocrisy
and brazen audacity that must
amaze even God, I point you to
Winston Churchill, who has been
seized with an acute attack of mor
al hysteria over the Empire de
signs of Germany and Japan yet
when his pain subsides long enough
for him to get his breath says, we
have ho intentions of “liquidating
the British Empire.”
When dishonesty on the part of
statesmen becomes accepted as a
principle and diplomacy lives out
side the moral law. where else can
civilization be headed but toward
disaster? We have the decline and
fall of Babylon. Greece and Rome
by reason of the very same prin
ciple. tc teach the statesmen of the
world the dangers they invite, but
they seem never to learn. If Mr
Churchill speaks for the United
Nations, we fight the same old fight
for power, we carry on Rie same old
struggle for privileges existence.

Quartermaster
By CORP CEO. HUBBARD
Since coming into the army over
twenty-one months ago, we find
that Detroit not only leads in arm
ament production but we think It
is near (if not on top) as a leading
city with hospitality towards
soldiers.
The P Q M. detachment has had
various churches, women's clubs
and benevolent organizations
to show appreciation to the armed
forces and to which we repeatedly
reaffirm: "We're very gratefuL”
There are hundreds, probably
thousands who have gone out of
their way to make the life of Negro
soldiers a bit happier. To those
and others and to husbands of the
various women's organizations we
Dow send sincere and personal
thanks. We are aware of the im
portant part you’re playing to
wards helping the cause and we re
happy to express our thanks to you.
With a lot of moving and shift
ing aTound, the boys hardly know
what to expect. It's a fact there’s
something in the air. Sometime
in the near future, “there’ll be
some changes 'made.”
It is with pride that we con
gratulate Pvts. William Moore and
Blwin Nelson on their recent ap
pointments to O Ulcer s’ Training
school. These boys have been ap
pointed to attend the school at Fort
Benning. Ga. We wish them loads
of luck and hope they attain great
honors in the field.
Now that hunting season is here,
we find that we have some devo
tees of the sport in the persons of
Sgt. Gilbert Shiflet, Pfc. John
Davis, Pvt. Henry Logan, Pfc.
Peter Means, and Pfc. M:iton
Wasson along with Pvt. James
Ross. They can be seen most any
evening with their guns hunting
game. They’re almost sure to
bring back a few rabbits on each
trip.
Pfcs. Loroy Clark, John Kennedy.
James Johnson and Pvt. James
Huff were heard to make the ex
pression: “If I had known Detroit
was as much on time as it is, I
would have started visiting that
city front" the time I first came to
Private First Class Kennedy
makes weekly trips to Detroit,
while the other boys are there once
or twice a month. It is said that
the boys have met persons there
that make things worthwhile to
fight for.
Congratulations to Pvt. David
Dawson on his recent marriage to
that lovely young nurse from De
troit. We hope that this marriage
will be a great success.
Sgt. Nathan Martin has made an
open declaration that he intends to
upset the romantic interests of two
soldiers here. Pfc Floyd Dent is
now included in the list of cam
geniuses, his field «t transporta
tion. He can tell you just hovr
many rides you may expect to
catch hitch-hiking from here to
Chicago. His experience and re
search in this field are amazing.
Pvt. John Colquitt lays claim to
be;ng the best bridge player ho
ever saw. He iearhed the game a
month ago.
Seeing that it’s the week of
Thanksgiving, we should take this
time to give "Thanks" for many
of our blessed advantages So long;
Cpl George Hubbard and Pfc.
William Pond.
