I can pictuie the look of dismay on die face of the soldier who i s wasting his life in the hot, damp insect infested jungles of New Guinea, or the young Negro solbier who has lhed. for days in he fox holes on field rations in Africa, when they read ubout innocent Negroes being killed and TctrippCTf" hack home. How can you expect that man to be u real soldier, when he feels that his wife, mother, sister or sweethart are in danger at home. The government and people art; 1 -pending millions of dollars on | shows and other forms ol entertainment to strengthen the n.or ale of the soldiers. This may la line, but I think a job for the government and the people is to spend some time in educating "the hysterical mobs who insist on business as usual in their own way, that they are unknowningly advocating the cause of the Axit here in America.

R1 ' The Two Indictments There are two indictments u gainst Roosevelt. The' first hinges about hi"s noble attempt to make Megroes an integral part of this a 1 nation. His New Deal policies in-. C iltuied Negroes within the purvey s" >f their benefits. Instead of hand e"' ;ng out one luscious political plum ' ' is was the custom of the Kepub rl" I dean" party through so many arl1P' ministrations, Mr. Roosevelt atJ_l' tempted to integrate Negrafes ir?co the New Deal both vertically t"t* and horizontally.

'flu* ie? terrible political beatings he takes .'roni time to time are price he ht called upon to pay for his atol empts to bt? lair with the Negro re- citizens of this country. If Roose velt is crucified on the cross o! -ty politics, it may truly be said of in- iim he died for Negroes and for >yd labor. as Jhe second indictment against eel Roosevelt grows out of his ater ittempts to improve the status of in* he laborer of tlie country. In >ut ihe recent strike situation it was mi .nade to appear that Roosevelt wa: or. addling John L. .Lewis and com vas any. The cry went up that Lew0 s was strangling the war efforts a] oy calling for a strike at such a the time as tlirs. Nothing was said ils "TEout the issues of the underpaid miners and the too-heavy profits f the operators. Recent accounts iave it that urofits have accrued o certain business from 5 percent '0 700'percent and Mr. Roosevelt n .as faithfully tried to increase the >vv well-being of the laborer In the race of these inequalities. 11 r Even the pseudo-efconomists 1 1' J must know that profit's have hi\Ir Teased far more rapidly thai* ev" wages.
