A. mviN ; Public Relations I)irector The Carolina Times Two short years ago we, the people of these United States were SITTING PRETTY. The depression of hideous memory had been conquered—afr ter a fashion. Our industries were booming. We were building fine structures to house our public servantej* Federal and State. : We were laying out magnificent boulevards connecting our cities. Old battlefields and wastelands were being made into parks for the people. ' The national prospect^ was rosy, despite an occasional warn ing" from some far-seeing Army or Navy officer or statesman that we should build up our*:Srm-y and our Navy. Then Hitler started his orgy of blood and plunder, and we were shocked and grieved. . We fi[i;ieved for ravished Ethiopia, Poland and Greece, for poor, floundering France and for brave, bomb-blasted Britain. But we said: “It can’t happen here. We will have, a big Army and Navy—some day.’^ Wise editors and radio commentators and bold politicians boasted. ‘^They can’t do that to us. We are going to have a big Army and .Navy—maybe in 1945 or soon thereafter.” And then, while many of us were enjoying the week-end and dreaming ofChristmas joys and bonuses, came PEARL HARBOR.

The NA- ACP had written the Red Cross January 16, enclosing the denial of Road Admii'al Ross T. Melntive, Navy surgeon general, that the Na vy had requested the Red Cross to refnse to take blood from N^o donors. Mr. Diivig admitted that ihe Na vy never requested the Red Cross to refusf to take Wood donations from Negroes. But he said the Na vy informed the Red Cross ‘,Hhere wag no need for Negro bl6dd Snd no need to make plans to procure the same.” He. also claimed'that the statement issued by Dr. tl. Canby Robinson, national director of the Red Cross Bk>od Donor S»*r- vice, instructing woi’kers to tuiM away Negro volunteers, “outline.i the general policy and program adopted in agreement with the Ar my and the Navy, for whom the Red Cross wa^ rendering this Tier- vicc.” ■ . The new statement of policy .states that facilities for process ing blood have been expanded and that the Red Cross, in agi’eepiont with the Army and Navy will ac- eapt blood donations from colored as weV, ns white persons. But, the statement goes on: “In deference to the wishes of those for whom the plasma is being pro vided, the Mood will processed separately so that those receiving transfusions mav "be given plnsnia from blood of their own race.” The NAACP pointed out this week that it is reliably informed that the Red Cross has been ac cepting Chinese, and even Japa nese blond donors and that the plasma baa been mixed with “white” b?.ood. It alFO stated that one of the reasons given by the Red Crors for refusing to accept blood fro^n colored pewons, before the ehang? in policy, was that it was “ im- :—_v- (Continued on Page eight) Baptists Prot^t The llpl^ofilpeliihg !n tetter To President Chicago, Feb. 6. — (AnS— In n letter addressed ■ to President Roosevelt, the Baptist Miuisterb’ .conference of Chicago Tuesday voiced a, vigorous protest againit the lynching of Cleo~'Wright at Sikeston, Mo., last Sunday.
