' <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:

MEANTS *rv* ? COMMENTS
vBy Wm. McKinley Bowman
This war is h*?rd and cruel, many I
men will die just as they have givcn*thei-r
lives in other war.v Innocertt
civilians will be bombed, child
ren will starve and peonies the
world over "will suffer untold miseries.
yet T Teel that out of this
pit of darkness, a new light will
shine for alt peoples.
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.. I
<>m
(ationship, because allies know
they "must depend on each other to 0V(
survive. Majorities in countries tVp,
see the importance of the mi nor i- q1Vi
lies, and so it goes, during war .aU
lime. So in this the greatest of ()np
all world wars, let us hone that . ,.jj
Liberty. Brotherhood and Justice m|t
will manifest itself and when the tjor
war is over? treaties will be made ,V(.;
so that all races can have justice ?^{
and live in peace with each other. j>y;<

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.

| 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
