' <d,'ft's fine reason why every Negro who possibly can, should pro <H?r? a- copy of thiR booklet. For a long time Mr. Owen was associated with A. Philip Ran dolpb, lataat recipient of the Spin- , garn award. rThcv were co-edi^ tors on the Messenger.. Associa ted with them was the matchless <f- ^atirist, George Schuyler. That trio **? really gave Messenger readers 1 much to think about. Mr. Owen ? begins thus: "Some Negro Americans say that it makes no difference who jjT wins this war. They say that 'jej? ihings could not be any worse unq? der Hitler. - There ore people who emphasize liabilities; they never bo appraise assets. Thev minimize good. ib.:? "Without understanding the Negro's liabilities, without denying trig the fact of handicaps and inequnlOU Ities I want to set down just wha.t_ ,ur itake the Negro has in America? a 1 just what he has to lose uiuiet in Hitler. [ra. "That he would lose it goes with out saying. Race prejudice from f the first, lias been Hitler's stock ?- in trade. In hiK book MEIN KAMPK he brutally calls Negroes 'half-apes'. At the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin he greeted Aryan ra winners in his private apartment sr_ so that he would not have to shake by the hands of Jesse Owens, Cor-1 nelhis Johnson, John WoodTiiff. ?- and the other great athletes who n<* played so large a part in bringing of victory to the United States. Hitler's newspapers-called these tine nd university-trained boys 'the Black nd Auxiliaries.'" Mr. Owen is' convincing in hir ill presentation of facts which attest U_ _-oH('ltlsivplv- th.lt ntiv Int Kr> ?" bad should" the victory go to any ?' other than the United Nations. er We rather like his closing parant graphs: "We already know ao.rn.ef1" thifig about champions." He states, and then continues, "One cool summer night, in 1938, under x :he arc 1 iaht< at Yankee Stadium, be our champion knocked out the GerQj man champion in one round. Sergeant Joe T.ouis is now a cham pion in an army of champions. j^" "Joe. doesn't talk much, but he 0f talks truly. He talks for 13,000,iaJ 0.00 Negro American - citizens, for 0f all American citizenswhen . he |3> says: 'We're going to-da our part, and we'll win 'cause we're on God's side."' The booklet is a piece of ]itera> ture of real historical significance: The Office of War Information is ~ distributing two million copies through insurance companies, churches, schools and-colleges, labor unions, motion picture houses, professional groups and othei (Channels.

This optomistic view does not mean that I.think war is a necessity. or that 1 like war. 1 do not think war a necessity* or that we have to like it to realize that bettflr things may come out of it than just suffering and pain. The truth-is, I hate war. I hate war from the little 1 have seen of it. When I see healthy young men maimed, for Jife, taken from torpedoed ships, when I see a young couple just starting in life torn apart, when I see broken hearted parents l idding their sons goodbye as they go marching off to battle, when I think of Amoruan boys be ing-uuncu m uisian* son 11 Kt* cattle, \vh?n I read of men dying- by the thousands and? tire -Meneh -of their decaying bodies tilling the air^with the aroma of death, suff- ?? trinjr and miseries, when I see my. np friends return home jbfoken irt <pirit and mind seeking solace' in :lrink to try imd forget the hor- PJ rors they have seen, v. hen I set1 * ^ men on beautiful Sunday mornings going to war plants to make instruments of death instead- of going to church,' I know then that I;hate war, and I hate every thing it stand for in the world. But in this misery and in this hate I see the forces of good work y, ing itself to the ton like a diamond 1^tc shining in the mud. In peace time js^s people as well as countries become careless; and take freedom n? for granted. Tii peace time men become selftjsh_and dr> not think c.(,ss as they should about world broth- j.(V erhood. but out of the misery of p.* war come a better international re..

By and large, leading Negro lewspapers serve a wider area han their immediate localities; lencc, their selection of news is state and nationaP"rather than, lo al. Naturally, local news is often sadly neglected. In a large num:er of newspapers, however, nntonal news appears annoy'mgly sraticiod. It is often culled from iress services or clipped from I Jtltor papers am! used in part foi . filler purposes. Syndicated colmins seem to be printed someimcs for this reason. This indi- i cates in part, an inability or lack I if effort on the part of newspa- ' lers to cover the local field adequately ? In the selection of news, particular emphasis is naturally placed in successes made by Negroes in j competition with whites. News of Negro churches and lodges, certain ly among the highest developed in-.stitutional forms in Negro culture, tends generally to toll only of elections. social announcements, and rinrttnr?obvious do'tnll.-c possibly because such news is generally released to the press by churches and lodges themselves.

Quite frequently, college news is written on_ the st\le of society news with utter disregard to its value .as "news'.1 | Kxcept 'in the caSe of les^ than a dozen prominent papers, editorial columns in most newspapers do n">t rise much above the pattern of news writing. Only in the syndicated columns does one find articles attempting to deal with the more fundamental problems con fronting Negroes. This lack of institutional news may be reflective of the fact that Negro culture"is only partly on its way to maturity. Such news cannot he wiitten if if docs not exist, if no serious attempts are made t -o gather it, or if there is no demand for it. The impression gained from this study, however, is that the main fault lies with Negro jour nalists. They"have, aped the white papers too sedulously and laid emphasis upon personalities and sensationalism in ORDER TO SELL THEIR ISSUES. IN SO DOING. rHEY HAVE OFTEN COMPLETELY IGNORED THE OPPORTUNITY OP EDUCATING THE PUBLIC IN ELEVATING ITS TASTES. I The Negro papers are not unlike white papers in their appearance, l generally running, however, in the ! direction of more sensationalism, | a feature stemming from the inij tial enterprise of the CHICAGO DEFENDER and the AFRO-A| MERICAN which built themselves I in the image of the Hearst papers.
