This ie characteristic of a certain group on the other side of the racial fence to wait until the last moment to appeal to the color ed brother to pull their ehesnuts out of the fire. Almost all citizens, black or white are interested in good gov ernment. but whether these citizens will accept the City Government! standard as a criterion to pattern after is something else.

It also interprets sympathetically | the Negro reaction to such bias. “The American Negro Is agitated not because he is asked to fight for America,” the writer points out.” 1 but because full participation In I the fight is denied him. He U ; humiliated as a Negro because he | is not fully accepted a 8 an Amerl | lean.” 1 The article distributee the blame ■ for employment discrimination be tween both employers and unions, and mentions specific cases when both management and labor have hampered defense production through erecting barriers against | Negro workers. On the other hand, specific employers and trade unions which have expedited the employ ment of Negro workers are singled out as examples for others to fol low.
