ERV1N LITTLES -
TOUGH PROBLEM
1MIE eyes of the world, today, are centered on the Balkans,
■ where Germany and the Allies are fitting what maj
prove to be one of the decisive actions of the war. But, in
Wt'icial circles, the problem of the Atlantic remains upper-
in mind. Hitler cannot win the war unless he can
conquer the British Isles. American policy is to provide
England with every possible weapon in an attempt to pre-
vent that ominous possibility. And all of the weapons needed,
with the exception of large bombers, must be transported by
fchips across three thousand miles of blue water, much
winch is infested with Nazi submarines and surface raiders.
Even if we reduce German claims of allied shipping destruc-
tion by one-third to one-half, it is evident the British mer-
chant fleet is being rapidly cut down.
There arc two possible solutions to this problem. One is
for this country to build enough ships to offset British
la,ses. But even if that could be done, which experts doubt,
it would not stop the loss of tremendous amount of material.
A cannon, or a fighting plane, or a load of food, which sinks
beneath the Atlantic inside a gasping hull, is of no service
to anyone. The solution remaining is to eliminate the cause
f destruction.
1111s was tiie theme of a recent and rather remarkable
ra li<> address by Rear Admiral Emory S. Land, chairman of
ilie Maritime commission. This was a speech of such im-
portance that, according to an Associated Press writer, ' It
could hardly have been delivered on his own responsibility
*lone." Admiral Land said time may prove that combined
American and British shipbuilding is unable to keep up with
iosaes. The wiser course, he said, is not to pin hopes on
providing sufficient replacements, but to stamp out Germany's
submarines. By basing our shipping aid to England, he
added, "solely on supplying her with more and more ships,
jte are merely adding more fuel to the fire. Are there not
a number of ways of solving this problem by attempting to
put out the firel"
The between-the-lines reader will find a great deal of grave
food for thought in fhis. In Washington, today, the feeling
is that it will bt but a matter of time, and probably a short
time at that, before we are convoying British merchant ship-
ping. Our virtual annexation of Greenland for military pur-
ines Ludjeata tiie waj the wind blows. Greenland offers
potential naval and air bases to patrol and control a vast
Atlantic area. Then, some think, it will not be much longer
Vofore our fighting craft, surface, undersea, and air, may
Vave to be used to ferret out. and destroy, U-boat supply and
rest stations. As everyone knows, the British navy just isn't
big enough to control all the seas where British interests ex-
ists. It is no secret that British strategists are confident
tfiat wc will help as part of our all-out aid program.
The big question is, how far can we go before Hitler
declares war on us? No one but Hitler himself can answer
that Tt is believed that Hitler would think twice before
forcing a state of war between the lteich and the I'nited
States, for the obvious reason that the war declaration would
be at once followed by executive and congressional acts to
speed np our arms production to a point beyond that possible
ylien we are at peace. Some even think that there could be
iictual shooting between United States and German ships
(without a complete severance of diplomatic relations.
All of this, hqwever, belongs to the realm of speculation,
and the future will supply the answers. Next step is likely
to passage of a law under which the President can buy,
and turn over to the British, the Axis and Danish ships re-
cently «fized under a little known 1917 statute making sabot-
age of *riy vessel in American waters a felony. The White
House has been completely mum so far as talking about con-
coving j* concerned, but almost all commentators think it will
come when the time is ripe.
In the meantime, it is reported that considerable amounts
of goods are piling 011 New York wharves, for lack of bot-
toms to take them to England. That is the toughest prob-
lem the all-aid program faces af the moment.
Attorney R. J. Reynolds, Topeka,
Kansas, was the speaker, Sunday,
on the "Wings Over Jordan" pro-
grain and told a nation-wide audi-
ence of the 19-year-old Guide Bight
movement of the Kappa Alpha Psi
fraternity, being observed this
week in nearly 100 cities and col-
lege centers in the country.
Young, vigorous and militant.
Attorney Beynolds is national di-
rector of the Guide Right move-
ment. In Topeka he is active In
civic affairs and writes a column
of opinions for the Sunday Cap-
ital, one of Senator Capper's
papers. He is a graduate of Wash-
burn college, Topeka.
Answering the argument that
Negroes should get training only
for Jobs they are sure of obtain-
ing, Reynolds reminded Ills hearers
that ' We of today need to realize
that there was a time In this
country when there were no Ne-
gro school teachers, 110 Negro doc-
tors, no Negro ministers, no Negro
lawyers, but, because others be-
fore us had the courage to venture,
the courage not to fear prejudice
as an obstacle that would defeat
them, these vocations hare become
common ways in which Negroes
achieve success."
Pointing out men of color who
have achieved in architecture,
magazine art, science, engineering
and other fields, la open competi-
tion be called on Negro youth
today "to employ the same kind
of courage and industrial applica-
tion to forge successful careers
in still other fields of endeavor
yet largely unexplored by the Ne-
gro."
Finally, he called on white
America to "throw into- the junk
heap the hangover idea from
slavery that a Negro's place in
life should 1>e more limited in
scope than that of white person."

Opinion
who dwell In the lowlands through
which the rivers course.
The government engineers have
made great strides in averting the
damage of flood. They hare built
great walla to wall off the risers;
they have reforested great tracts
of land to absorb the excess
water; they have built great clams
to holu back the torrents and to
control their flow Into other areas
so they may make fertile great
wastes.
All this Is most essential—but
even more necessary today is a
system of hate control. As the
fortunes of war wage abroad,
there is growing in this land of
ours Increasing hatred and bitter
ness. Shall we let this flood warp
and destroy much of what we
hold dear?
We need to build walls of under-
standing to hold the hatreds out
For mutual understanding leads
to mutual trust, and In trust there
Is no hate.
Wc need to reforest the scarred
places in our minds—scars caused
by injustice, bitterness, despair
and intolerance—to reforest them
with compassion, friendliness and
love.
We need to clam back the floods
of hate with bulwarks of educa-
tion—education in positive demo-
cratic living, In putting into prac-
tice In our everyday life the tilings
in which we believe.
We need to divert the stream of
hate into useful channels, con-
centrating it 011 au ideology, not
on a people—hating only the evil
act or quality. Our hatred miiBt
run between such concrete walls
of our wills, that we will not be
guilty of their injustice or In-
tolerance to any man, regardless
of race or creed or oolor, 110 more
than we would want him to be
guilty of these towards 11s. Thus
and only thus can we control the
flood waters of hate.

ATLANTA, G«u—Mozelle ^Uerbe,
sensational Tuskegee 1 n s 11 ' u t e
flyer, is done with collegiate tuck
competition, leaving but one ;ith-
lete from an all-Negro college who
can tour the 100-yard dash with-
in a tenth of a second of the
world record.
Doubtless, the fastest man in
Negro colleges today is Leo Tar-
rant of Alabama State Teachers
college, Montgomery, who breasted
the tape against a fast field in
the third annual Southern Inter-
collegiate Athletic conference
track and field championships in
Atlanta, in 9.5 seconds last May.
Tarrant's spectacular time, bow-
ever, only tied the SIAC record
of the same time set by Ellerbe
at both the Tuskegee relays and
conference meet of 1938. But the
ease with which it was done led
track experts of both races to lie
lleve it is not beyond the sensa
tional Alabama youth to equal
the accepted world time record
of 9.4 held joiutly by Frank Wy-
koff and Jesse Owens and un-
officially by Clyde Jeffrey, the
University of Southern California
speedster.
Like Rozia Slngletary, late of
St Augustine's college, Raleigh,
N. C., Tarrant ruiii- with a loug-
st riding, knees - kicking - the - chin
style that gets him places in
quick time. Slngletary, once the
fastest man in the Colored Iuter-
collegiate Athletic conference, had
a worthy successor in Virginia
State's space-annihilating Joe Hall.
But now, he, too, is gone.
Latest sensation eastward is
Tome East, the Cheyney college,
Pennsylvania mercury who, only a
fortnight ago, won both the 00-
yard and 100-yard dashes in 6.5
and 10.1 at the national Indoor
track and field championships in
Atlantic City. East also teamed
with William Dickerson, George
Whyte, and Leroy McCloud, In
that order, to spark his alma
mater's half mile relay foursome
to a second place In that event.
The winning time was 1:32.8.
Eyes of the sepia track world
were focussed on the second an-
nual Alatmma State relays at
Montgomery, the past Friday and
Saturday, where the cream of Ne-
gro colleges was represented.
As this copy made the air mail
lanes, the eve of the classic track
and field carnival, Tarrant loom
ed a cinch in the 100-yard dash.
In fact, tills observer likes Tar-
rant or East to walk sway with
the century laurels in this year's
Penn reUrs at Franklin field.

bsma State relays, other good
bets appeared to be Ulysses

team of Morehouse college, Atlan
the field of business It will make
a substantial contribution to the
welfare and progress of the race.
For a long time, this area of
Negro life has been obscured by
the stampede into the field of edu-
cation. Our colleges have failed
to emphasize this pressing need
for Negro business. In the early
stages of our racial development
the Negro of high degrees was
assured of the "cream" of every-
thing and especially was he given
precedence in the matter ot sal-
aries and livelihood. How changed
today. Without effort we can meet
daily Negroes boasting of degrees
from our best colleges and univer-
sities and yet without the neces
si ties of life. Becently a young
white man was pointed out to me
at a filling station, as holding a
Ph. D. degree from one of our
most famous Eastern universities.
This indicates that the field of
academic pursuits is being saturat-
ed, and this saturation Is being
felt among Negroes as among
whites.
It is time for a diversion, and
this conference on Negro business
Is such diversion. Unfortunately,
the pressing demands of our eco-
nomic life force us Into those
fields which have greater promise
of economic and financial ernolu
inents. At first it was the min-
istry; later it was the physician
and still later it was the bootlegger
during prohibition days. Later it
was the teacher. Today the Ne-
gro undertaker Is the financial
man of the hour. But the under-
taker is a business man and his
successes only indicate the pos-
sibilities in those fields where Ne-
groes, either because of race loyal-
ty or segregation, can exploit the
trading possibilities of their race.
Everything points to the conclu-
sion that the hour has struck for
Negro business and It the current
conference in Washington will
serve no other purpose than to
tt tMi II fill
serve a mighty purpose.
We need a few Negro business
dynasties. Too often a Negro
genius arises and builds with
marvelous foresight and efficiency,
but when he dies his business dies
a wasteful
tendency in the business life of
the race. When a man spends
years of high class business deal-
ings be builds up a great reserve
of good-will which is worth at
times more than his stock of goods.
Were these good will possibilities
exploited, It would mean great
financial gains for the race. But
too often the possibilities of a
busineas dynasty are thrown away,
and so each Negro business must
begin anew on the ground floor.
An Illustration of my thesis U
seen in what is taking place In
Chicago where the late Robert Ab-
bott built the great Chicago De-
fender. It Is most unfortunate
that the current litigations are
jeopardizing this great enterprise.
The Pittsburgh Courier is exposed
to the same danger. It is fervent'
ly to be hoped that these great
enterprises may survive this ten-
dency of Negro business to die
with the founders. Unfortunately,
many of our best minds leave no
progeny and this complicates the
matter. An attempt to build Ne-
gro business dynasties Is seen la
the Journal and Guide policies
where Editor Young has trained
his sons ns executives capable of
perpetuating this great paper. The
Murphy* are doing the same for
the Afro-American. The Scotts In
Atlanta give another striking «i-
aniple of an attempt to build a
good bu ln«*s dynasty in the Negro
race.
When we are able not only to
build a good business, but also to
build it so that it will aurrlve
the passing of Its immediate
founders, we are getting some-
where. Furthermore, we are get-
ting somewhere when a nation,
wide attempt is being made to p'~^y
Negro busineas on its feet. Tt

economic success for the Negrc

Una Mae Carlisle
First Girl With
'Hit Parade'Tune
By The Associated Negro l'renn
NEW YORK, N. Y.—Una Mae
Carlisle Is the first colored girl
who ever wrote a song that made
Lucky Strike's "Your Hit Parade."
Two weeks ago her tune, "Walk-
in' by the River" appeared, for
the first time, among the 10 most
popular songs of the nation. The
words, however, were written by
Robert Sour, a Princeton Phi Beta
Kappa.
After the Hit Parade broadoast,
ta, In the 120 and 220 hurdles;
Emmett Taylor of Southern uni-
versity, Scotlandvllle, La., in the
javelin; Adam Berry of the same
institution in the high Jump; Ed-
ward Culp of Xavier, New Or-
leans, in the mil? run; and Amas
In the 440-yard.
Team champions looked like Tus-
kegee Institute In the 440-yard
relay, Xavier In the half-mile end
two-mile relay, and Alabama iu
the mile relay. (If Prairie View
enters the meet, the writer selecta
Sam Taylor's Panthers In the last
named specialty).
Meanwhile, Jean Betty Lane,
crack Junior coed of Wllberforce
university, has already fulfilled
the prophecy made by the column-
ist last May, when she won the
50 and 100-yard dashes and 200-
meter sprint at the Tuskegee re-
lays. Then, it was asserted here
was the fnture holder of the
world's records for women In
these events.
Last spring In Central collegiate
campionshlps at Cincinnati, Jean
broke the former world mark for
the 100-yard dash by catapulting
past the final tape In 10.9 seconds,
which has since been accepted as
the official world record.
Saturday, April 12, at Atlantic
City, Jean toured the 200-meter
dash in 25.1 secouds, shattering
still cnother erstwhile world mark
of Stella Walsh, white, whose rec-
ord of 26,1 had stood until that
day. Iu a preliminary heat, the
white woman ran the furioug In
25.7, beating her won record, but
both marks were forgotteu after
Miss Lane's spectacular 25.1.

Miss Carlisle went up to Mark

you for the wonderful arrange
□lent." Warnow replied: "So yot
liked that aoug, too." Miss Car-
lisle smiled us she said: "i'oa
see, Mr. Warnow, I wrote it." And
that is how her identity was re-
vealed.
Last weok( she told the story
of how she liuppened to writ#
this song on the CBS program
"Wc, The People." "I used t|
spend a lot of time walking along
a river, looking out over the
water. The countryside was so
peaceful and the children gay and
laughing, as they played along
the river bank. That river seem-
ed to become a part of me, and It
was there that I got the idea for
the melody. I called it 'Walklu'
by the Blver,' and, today, it has
a very special meaning for me.
For that river that is so different
today Is the Thames river in
London."
She has just completed another
song, "I Met You Then, I Know
You Now" with lyrics by Stuff
Smith, well known swing violinist.
Born 24 years ago in Zanesvllle,
Ohio, Miss Carlisle attended Ohio
State university for one year.
Then she traveled to Europe where
she sang aud played the piano In
various night clubs. She has also
appeared on regular and television
programs of the British Broadcast-
ing company. In fact, she has
played in 18 different countries.
Since returning to the United
States, in 1980. she has bad en-
gagements In Baltimore's Howard
theatre, Washington's R' vat thea-
tre, and is soon to appear at the
Apollo In New York.
Miss Carlisle has also made
five Victor Bluebird records and
is under a ts?o year contract with
that company. She plans to write
several other songs with the lyric
writer of her first hit tunc and
hopes that they too, will be good
enough to be Included in future
