Both North America and England are one in their deep
Seated anti-Negro attitudes. It will always be. England is
still the champion of overlordship to the darker peoples
7 maintaining her empérial positicn upon the shoulders of the

natives of various lands under her control. India is the best
example of the ~mperialism of the Engiish. She maintains
her super-position by subtle propaganda and adroit manipulating power through the means of educating her youth
in the tactics of ruling.

_. The psychosis is to teach (either by example or by direct instruction, or both) their cffspring to keep the darker
races down by denial to them chances to develop themselves
in the technique of manufacture, trade, military leadership,
Government, and the things which make for independence
in a Race. They keep an eye on those few who manage to
learn, to a measure, these civilized pursuits and see to it
that this few do not get an opportunity to expand.

On the other hand, the English put everything they
have into the development of their youth, instilling in them,
the culture cr Race prejudice and devil-devised superiority,
_over the peop'e whom the English have caused to be imprisoned in the rut of mental] and practical, civil stagnation. The whole practice is a villanous fabrication designed
to perpetuate themselves in imperialism. Yet they want
help, now, to keep this practice intact in the name of justified ~Democracy~.,: Just-to offer an example or two of this practice, take
the case, cf Ethiopia when that country was robbed and its
citizens murdered by that super-villain, Mussolini. The English stood by and were satisfied because this was a case
where ore of their ~Godly kind in Race~ was aggressor, notwithstanding the fact that Mussolini is tyrant of the Nazi
_ persuasion. 4

When that butchery of the lowly Ethiopians was ac-claimed ended, no one heard of any public cry for aid from
Britain; and for that matter, no one heard of any Samari' tanic plea from any organized government to aid Ethiopia.
> ~ Herbert Hoover supplicated us to help Finland; not Ethiopia.

The weak jesture tendered the King of Ethiopia, by
England was one of Yicse phases of tolerance which, in the
end, is charged up to the unfortunate. The imperialists take
a gamble for gain.

Now Mussolini that same tyrant, together with his.
more powerful ally, Hitler, is doing to the Non-Darker Races
what was formerly done to Ethiopia. The English, superimperialists, the Race of Hauteurs, the Race which lsoks
down upon, (and keeps its foot on) the Darker Races, especially the Negro Race, is supplicating all people not in the
Axis ezmp, to do everything from suffering enormous taxation to the giving of their lives to save them. The Axis people art totally wrong, it is true, and they are the worst group
of destroyers ever emanated from the Realms of Lucifer.
~~ But, while, to a degree, the English are better insofar

as being slightly more tolerant with Darker Races, inasmuch as the English recognizes puppet authority among:
Colored Races, that Race (the English) is trying now to,
carry on a successful war against its enemy and at the same
time sustain the ugly, se!fish and unbrotherly attitude, with
its resultant discriminations against Negroes.;

Our NAACP through its secretary, has recently communicated to Mr, Winston Churchill an outline cf the plight
our Race has been willfully subjected to in matters of becoming actively engaged in skillful services throughout the
Defense effort here. The fact that the NAACP has been
driven to take such a step is evidence supporting the contenticns herein discussed.

-. "The Four Freedoms for which the Democracies are
fighting belong the Negro too. But it turns out that the
~Moguls of Government except F. D. R. are attempting to
gain these ebjectives WITHOUT BEGINNING AT HOME

~TO APPLY THEM..The English are overlord over most of
thie colored people of this earth. It is recognized that they will
be helped to maintain that unfair power over our people, if
such practice is permitted to continue? The British Air
Commission refused to accept Charles M. Ashe, fully qualified commercial pilot and instructor, as a ferry Pilot solely
because of his color. This-has been substantiated by one of
the. British officers of the ferry ccmmand, stationed at
Washington, D. C. A copy of the minimum requirements:
Requirement number nine: ~All applicants must be of the
uwhite Race~.:

Another instance of this ~highfalutin-spirit~, is the de
nial of the application of Dr. W. King of New York. The}

statement reads: ~It is true that only white citizens of the
United States are eligible for the Doctors for Britain~s Project.~ ee ae:

for weeks.

4-Consolidated Aircraft company,
which is still negotiating with OPM
for the employment. of Negro
skilled workers, but which has attempted to escape the scrutiny of
FEP by hiring more than 135 Negro janitors and unskilled workers
in the last few weeks.

TWO ARE ADAMANT

The two plants which the OPM
agencies failed to crack and which
they are reported to have certified
to the FEP are the Vultee Aircraft
company, whose president has not
yet retracted his statement that
~only members of the Caucasian
race~ will be employed in his plant,
and the Boeing Aircraft company in
Seattle where Negro workers are
still barred through a closed shop
contract held by the International
Association of Machinists. This
same machinists~ union is bitterly
opposing the integration of Negro
workers into the Vultee plant in
Nashville.

Several factors are credited with
the breaking of: the solid anti-Negro front on the West Coast defense horizon. ~

Chief among these has the close
cooperation between the offices of.
Dr. Weaver and Dr, Alexander and
the Committee on Fair Employment Practices. Soon after the committee picked Los Angeles as the
scene of its first hearing, representatives of the Negro employment
and training and the minority._groups branches concentrated their
efforts on the West Coast area and
put the pressure on __ recalcitrant
employers and union officials. The
threat of certification to the FEP
is credited with the quick results in.
some cases.

The breaks on the West Coast
front have not been confined to the
aviation field. Recently Negro shipfitters who had complained to OPM,
were hired for the first time in the
Too and Moore shipyards and in
diesel engine shops in this area.

Guidance Should Be

Policy Of Our Colleges ~

NEGRO COLLEGES, both public
and private, in the main, need to
take a reflective view of why they
are training youth. What is the
collective goal~sort? This means
careful development by the col
leges of a policy, a total policy,
on vocational guidance of its
youth. For most colleges, public

and private, this
is tantamount to
requiring a reevaluation 9 f

original

and finally a
radical change in
direction.

Negro collegen
have been so
thoroughly conditioned to the
fommalism oo f
ther liberal arts

concept of education that even
the State Agricultural, Industrial
and Mechanical Colleges for Negroes have~ only stubbornly moved
away, very slowly, from the classical nature of liberal arts education ~

The reluctance of white state
public school administators to
endorse broad and intensive vocational training and professional
vocational guidance for Negro
youth has found sympathy in
many Negro Public College administrators, The. basic reasoning
for this agreement, however, is
different in that the individualism characteristic of traditional
Negro leadership has convinced
most Negro educational administrato*s that each one of them has
the only solution for Negry educational problems. |

INDIFFERENCE SHOWN

Fcr this reason they show either
mdifference or definite hostility
to the findings and practices of
modern researchers in the various
fields of education, éspecially, the
fields of vocational guidance and

} personnel work. This means that

they have no definite overall
policy of vocational guidance for
their students and that their program of vocational training is
too restricted. ~

As a matter of fact, the emphasis of their vocational training

heritege handed them by _ the
liberal abolitionist New England
ers.
TURN TO, TEACHING

They have turned their collective heads away from the dynamic
changes of our materialistic democratic society, For the most part
they continue to insist upon
émphasizing the teach~mg profession us the only goal worthy
of the. efforts of educated Negro
Youth, |

For instance, a Negro Liberal
Arts College will report 100 percenit employment of Jast year~s
graduates. However, an analysis of

| this report will reveal an unduly

large proportion of this employment is as rural or small town
school teachers.

Again, many of these youth are
sentenced to teaching by their
college advisers because the youth
can not at the moment. enter the
occupations of their choice and
dreams. To sentence them to
teaching in these underpaid school
systems is following the line of
least resistance and at the same
time giving the college a smug
sense of satisfaction of living up
to its traditions.
