'Joe Louis has fought like tiger in his lair and has demean ed himself as a high toned gentle mUb. Jo* Louis the boxer and Joe Louis th* gentleman hav* done somethiijig to this nation in general and has bolstered the pride of his race in particular. Joe Louis should retire jSit once. His battering of Godoy was a timely victory and left no douhi as to his pugilistic prowess.

Several lynch* io0B which have taken place in Nortih Carolina within (the paA teb without a single arrest being made, plus many other in- ioatieics which the Negro suffers are sufficient' to warn all of us ihat this is no time for complacency. It may be that North Caro* ima Nagroes are paying too great a price for their peaceful at- may be that the outward calm is the canopy of a •*■** inward unrest that only awsHs aggressive activity on the of Bone Negro before it bursts forth in all its Fury. Th* condition which now obtains in Browsville, Tebbessee dii not happen when a few Negroes presented themselves to the polls to vote. It was there prior to that time and only needed Igniting to blaze forth in an inferno of race hatred. £lisha Davis, who has been run away from his home by a mob, in which rode the sheriff of the county, a night policeman and a> • county highwayc ommiasioner, ^d Elbert Williams who was found dead in the river with two wounds in his chest, hav* not been persecuted and put t^ death in vain, if th* crimes wilL arouse law abiding citizens In the south to the fact that there;is still need for a federal law against lynching and mob violence. Th* appeal which Mr. Davis makes through the NAAiGP should touch the pockstbook of every Negro in America. The fight which h* i* making is not his fight alone, but that of every liberty lov ing whit* and Negro citizen in America. Enouga money should be raia*d to r**stahl'ish his businesai Joe has no mor* “ahuffle” than Fresntai Conant of H^lrvard^ univers^. fjven Negro writers are calling him “Shufflin Joe” a term as un* necessary as unwarranted. If Lindbergh was a “Flying Fool” Joe Louis haa been a dozens 'Fighting Fools.’ Joe has done his work. Whereaf. Jos has bad many “hicky nights,” some of tJiese times he iy going to acci- dent411y bump into the flying fist of some fourth rater and t&ke the count; and the sun of his glory will set in a cloud. It is expecting too much of a man I raters” is detracting who fights as often ah Joe, not 1 from sport. OUR TIME HAS COME It is true these promoters Are out to fill their coffers; but they should not be filled at th* ex* pense of Joe’s fame and popular* ity. With certain man it is a matter of money; with Jo* Louis and his tldvisers it should b* something mor*. Jo* has mad* money for himself and for his jnanagers and for th* promot ers; Joe has brQBght bPX>“K back to « high plane U ii WiW time for him to retire. To ieo|>ardize the faoie >f so great a champion for th* sake of a few dollars is not only not good business but not good common sense. Why go on boxing if there is nothing to gained from H? ^ With Joe’s record of knock outs and killings he haa inflicted upon divers challengers and con tenders, he is easily th* est champion the world haa known. Wh^n {i Negro gets jB^ere Joe is. he must b* ‘^leiAJr good.” The only “pull” Joe ha* is in those trip hammer fists.

The military traditions of the German airmy are iron clad and all troops serving under the Hitler Regime have been trained to the Zenith degree of combat efficiency.

No man can be competent and just in office who feels that what he doesn’t know isn’t knowledge and that there is no explan^ion of things he doesn’t understand. These condilUons conatitut* a very definite sU^e of war for us £nd, in spite of their many mani- ffst»tjons of resuMjdnt demorali- tion, destruction, snd retrogres sion, they still exiet and flourish among us.

Our res pect for womanAtood and chasity i? .etnalogous to the respect a dog has for a meatless bone. And we Ky claim to progress under such deplorable conditions. All of us still sit in “peanut gnlleri^s” in white theaters. We ^still ride in segregated sections jOP public conveyances. We still hav* to live in restricted areas in all American cities. And we are still regarded as e^iwl to each other but inferior to every body else by all the people in the country except ourselves. Even our religion h,a» failed to dfstolve the many social elasfes existing among us in order that just 1^' semblance of unity and cooperation might be msMe pos sible for common good. The im- poTerished condition of our race is proof I enough that a honae close sequence after the eon* quest of Nazi Germany over Fr]pkice, the USA may be forced to take up arms against one or more of the European powers In defense of American econo mic Interests. ,, The present position of a specific unit of the Negro U. S. In^aaitry, the 24th with regard to prtparedness, it deplorable. Thes* troops are now stationed at Fort Bennlng, Georgia, and beside being restrl;ted to at one day a week combat drill program are also used in the capacity of stevedores, janltiirs,' butlers, and practically every known Vistriety of mei^al labor required around ^ post. , Now, restricting infantrymen to menial roles of l^>or when times are- not critical may serve fche puiposes of the state in a favoi^lble majiner, but when •any country is confronted by foes as formidable as Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, and Catholic Italy, more thorough steps of preparation ought to be made avaiUJble, in all ways, for the divided against itself is at war and consequently doomed.

Let us be real men and womens Let us rccilize and- be proud of the fact tkat w* are Negroes. War is TRULY HELL. A squad of T^azfs equipped with «iiutomatic rifles or sub machine guns, and thoroughly trained in their use, have great er fire power, and if the proper cover prec^tions are observed, the initial advantage, from the o'itset, over an opposin«^ aqi)«d squfiJ of Negro infantrymen armed with twenty years old five shq^t 30 cal. S^rii^ield. To send soldiers into battle half tr»4ined and poorly armed is a down right shame upon any nation, whether thf group so my»treated bo blal^k or white, without a speedy change, for the better, the American na tion stands in direct line to p^ the terrible price which the French Republic has alfe«4y P«d for her gross lack of foresight eiid underserved ill treatment of the mercenary military servants of the commonwealth. The barracks ahd living: quar ters of the 24'th Inffntry ar* of ultramodern design 100 per cent sani^iy, and of the very best and of the very best worman- ship and materirfs that money cculd abtaia. However, the figH itg omrale of the Nefi'Q troop# are §'t an exceedingly low ebb, chfefly because they fire denied a sufficient .amount of moderniz ed equipment, not enough Euro pean Fascist style teiil, and last but not least, the yilbsence of a sufficient number of Negro com missioned officers, in connec tion with the regiment. Stupid ly enough, the W«r Department has neglected to promote Negro non commissioned officers gf corporal, and Saisreant r.^Ung up IQ the ranks qt 1st Lieutenant, 2nd Lieutenant, Major pltid Major General, no matter how great their scholastic ability, naturji .ntelligence, or ^ctuaj WRr ser vice experience. Even as the late French regime bowed down to the spirit of the French Milit|iry Academy and perished from the face of the earth, »t seem* that the unfortunate American people are ^bout to witness a breisi( up of‘their commonwealth through the Ne gro prejudice and preparation blindness of West Point. Golden braid does not win a wcr; neither does childish ne glect of tldequate arnvament of keystone troops make a natlon’p chances Tor winning a war any j greater, no matter how rich and powerful Commercially it rosy b*. , Negro troops fight best under direct Negro leadership. In no other way can the maximunit amount of patriotic service be obtained from Negro troops who happen Jo be assigned to front Kn« duty. It is altogether far and lust thi#. the 24th Infantry .What particularly commends M'r. Willkie to the favor ^f Colored Republic^lns is the atti-f tude he tock in 1924 in oppos ing the Ku Klux Klan. Fortune Magazine for April, 1940, calls attention to the fact that he “led and won the battle aigainat fche Ku Klux Klan lft24-26.” Current History, for February, 1940, also called attention to Mr. Willkie’s attitude toward the Ku Klux KUin is thee following; “As delegate to the Democratic N^onal Convention in 19^4, he fought for the nomitwition of A1 Smith oyer William Cibbs McAdoo, because Mr. McAdoo was backed by tJlo Ku Klux K^yn.” During the proceedings, the Ohio Delegation of which he was a member, w^ polled and Mr. Willkie was recorded as favoring the adoption of the following resolutionr “ We pkd|re the Democratic Party to oppose any effort on the part of the Ku Klux Klan or any organization to interfere with the religious lil>«*rty or political freedom of any citizen.” This position w,a)E taken by him 16 years ago when he had no thought or idea of even being considered, for the Presidency. Ilf The Current History ar ticle, jfs far back ais the early j;art of his year, *he waa being referred to as “a good, shrewd, pl>le, business man to unscram ble the tax and business situa tion the county is in.” As a forthright man, he declar ed, that he did not wish, for the sake of conformit to ctUtalogue himself with a label as his politi- ca philosophy places country above party. He was one of those who join ed the revelt against the abuses of big business. He is reported to have remarked thait “the greatest joy in life is to keep one’s thoughts uncontrolled by formulas. I won’t be dropped in>- to a mould,” he said. “I want to be a free spirit,” he continued* ‘If I waUn’t one, I wouV) be still sitting on a crack fcr box in Indiana” l>ROMISES JUSTICE TO COLORED DELEGATES In an informal interview with a room full of Colored delegates bit Philadelphia during the Con^ vention, Mr. Willkie was subject “I’m against all tiui kind *^ bunk,” h* replied.*' “You ara citisens like everybody als* and you ought to b* tr*^^*d Ukt citizens.
