Had the Church taken its rightful stand against prejudice and hate and hypocrisy, had it utilized its great power to create a better understand among various racial identities in America, had It, in fact, taught the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God, there would today be an unbreakable unity, which would require no Presidential order to compel corporations and other industrial institutions to anow American citizens employment in their plants. PAUL SIcNUTT SPEAKS The Honorable Paul V. McNutt speaking in New York before 6.000 Negro citizens, among; other things said. "But, In calling the role of grievances.

CAN WHITE AMERICANS QUALIFY FOR A FUTURE WORLD BASED ON THE EQUALITY OF THE RACES? aNew York magazine, May 31, Pearl Buck said that America is fortunate in having ten percent of its population colored, because with this large part of a different race tai nana it gives Americans a cnance tu prepare ior a iuiure wmcn racial coopera I 1 a mi 1 1L 1 p. on terms 01 equality win De imperauve ior xne wnue races In Fuck visualizes a future tr in which the colored peo noying insect on the buzzing wings 01 realism. Then as if to plague any hopes that her vision may be realized, the following words, which Miss duck perhaps wrote unguardedly, recur to you: "Regardless of their rule, he (the white man) had rather have his own kind to rule him." HOPK FOR THB S1LVEK LINING The fortunes of the American Negro seem to be linked with the white races of the West.

Necessarily, he will have to Join hands with the forward thinkers among these races in this country and In other countries, and nope for the best. You ask at this point what can the Colored Group in the United States do to encourage racial co operation. Look about you in areas densely populated with large num bers of, colored Americans and you win note certain customs which could be Improved. Now re member that even within the same race, regardless of high ideals and noble spirits, it is difficult to in duce culture to accept crude vile ness and repulslveness on terms of equality. Obvious traits of vul garity and meanness arouse im pulses of pity and desires for improvement, as prerequisites to equality.

There is no intimation here that many white skins are not crammed full of the loWer qualities. The idea is that our race can least well afford such traits IN certain southern cities, many Negroes use the vilest and loudest of language on any streets except the principal ones, in the hearing of any one's family. regardless of the presence of in nocent little girls and boys. Recent ly in a southern town, two colored men were beaten ry white men and jailed by policemen for loud cursing in the hearing of two pass ing white women. One of the worn en happened to be the wife of one or the most ouispoiten wnite friends of the race In that town Such conduct cannot help hasten the realization of Miss Buck's vl sion.

raflBSEl BV OFFICES Congressman Says, "Dixie Ignorant Of Negro" WASHINGTON, D. C. July 30 (ANP) Taking time out to enter Westbrook Pegler's favorable article on the Negro in the Congres sional Record, Congressman Ar thur W. Mitchell on Tuesday de clared that the southern whits man knew nothing, about the Negro despite protestations to the contrary. Said the Congressman: "Since I have been a member of Congress, I have been approached bv hundreds of outstanding men and women of the south, practical ly every one of whom professes to know the Negro or tne soutn.

have had leaders of the white race even argue with me that they know the Negro better than do. Is this true? My answer is emphatically White people especially of the south have made no particular effort to know the Negro in his higher aspirations and home life. "How many outstanding white leaders have ever spent as long as five minutes in a respectable Negro home? How many of them have ever visited the Negro churches and Nerro schools? How many of them have engaged thinning Negroes in earnest conversation in an effort to pecome acquainted i D.C.. July 30 "Those boys sure love to eat," was the chant of some of the troops of the 833rd Quartermaster company at the Lubbock (Texas) Army Flying school as they peeled potatoes, baked apple pies and cleaned oysters in preparation for a typ ical noon meal, according to in formation reaching the War Department here. The cook supervising the clean The company is commanded by Major Henry Wray (white), who was a commander of a rolon company of troops in World War I In France, and in his words "They are a fine group of men.

If given the opportunity to show their ability. Those I commanded dur ing World War I were excellent, but I think the group here is of even higher Intelligence and abil ity." The men are truck drivers at the large twin engine advanced flying school, where the air forces are with the Negro in his higher aspirations and real life? "Of course tney know the Negro who frequents the police, courts. They know the Negro who works In their kitchen and does the menial work around their homes, but do they know Negro lawyers, Negro physicians, Negro businessmen, Negro editors, Negro college presidents. Negro teachers and social leaders, Negro ministers of the higher type? They do not and they make no serious effort to know them." THE NEGRO'S HESOIO Df 1 ft? 1 lit flf PATIENCE MUST END; NOW IS Ul Uil wi QV.Y THE TDLE FOR BLASS ACTION BY MARJORIE McKENZIE AND BLOODLESS REVOLT FAST week we discussed the major problem of cooperation by Negro organizations as ouestion of ideology and technique. We suggested that the efforts of the Neero to progress by means of the measured pace of social evolution appear to have collapsed We stated further that the Negro must see, in clear historical perspective, that freedom has wen wrested by force from tne oppressor by all enslaved people; In brief, that It has been acquired by the process BBSBBBBaW IL McKf nxi of social revolution.

This discussion, seeking to resolve the differences in the programs of the NAACP and the Mareh on Washing ton committees, wss not intended as an advocacy of revolution, for the reason that revolution does not stem from academic talk about it: such a course of action must be decided upon by the people themselves at whatever point their tolerance of slavery ceases. TOLKRANCR BORN OF IGNORANCE The toleiance of the falnary Negro for his "sub human, sub American' status, to borrow the 'labels of Westbrook Pegler. has been founded in Ignorance and op timism, both of which have been slyly cultivated in him by the white man. The Negro has not revolted in any significant numbers or manner since the Civil War. because he haa been taught to believe that things were "kitting better." I IV1NG in some rickety shack la the sharecropper South or in a hovel in urban ghettoes, he has endured a half starved, half clothed existence, riddled with disease and optimism.

A complimentary element of this psychology, has been to divide and conquer the leadership by keeping it hopeful. A con cession here and there, sinecures for the chosen few, a seeming weds in some formerly impreg nable barrier, segregation that not only is not painless, but comfort able, and the forward marcn ox the Negro haa been held In check. GOVERNORS JOIN MARK KTI1ERIDGE Apparently, however, there are some white men of influence who think even this mild appeasement of the leadership is going too far. Negro leaders, quick to deify any white self styled liberal who professes an interest in race relations, were shocked by the statement of Mark Etheridge that the combined armies of the world could not make the South alter the miserable facts of racial segregation. Adding their voices to that of Etheridge in defense of segregation, the governors of Alabama and Georgia spoke as revealing last week.

QOV. DIXON of Alabama. In re fusing to sign a contract with the Defense Supplies Corporation for nearly 2.000.0UO yards of cloth to he made toy State convicts, said that the non discrimination clause In the contract would cause CuFEPC to descend on and demand both responsible Jobs and a proportionate share of them fur Negroes. He added: "I will not permit the employes of the State to be placed In a position where they must abandon the principle of segregation or lose their Jobs." THE HOl'R FOR LEADERSHIP Gov. Dixon prefers to have the citizens of Alabama starve if they musi.

wnne tne rest or America grows fat. as long as they remain pure irom the pollution of working beside their black brothers. Gov. Talmadge of Georgia was briefer and more vicious. Negroes who don't like the State's segregation laws can "stay out of Georgia." CTHERIDGE and Dixon and Tal madge have made bad slips, for they have revealed to the Negro the futility of hoping any longer to gain freedom by requesting It in small dosages at opportune times.

Neither the leaders nor the people ahould be confused 'when the issue thus has been drawn so clearly and the Ideology of the South thus Is unmasked. For this Is the seed time of history when our Negro leaders must cast from them the bitter fruits of appeasement and go to the people. This is the hour when Negro leadership should be planting In the minds of the people the will to possess the true substance of de mecracy In lieu of random exam pies of its outward forms. THE NEGRO'S FINEST HOUR Secretary of State Hull, addressing the world last Thursday In a speech translated into 11 languages, proclaimed that Americans "have alwaya believed that all peoples, without distinction of race, color, or religion, who are prepared and willing to accept the responsibilities of liberty, are entitled to its enjoyment." This was only one of many brave lines in a speech that is the living document of. the higher humanity being forged on the battle fields of Russia.

INTELLIGENCE HIGHER DY now it should be clear that for the Negro, conferencing behind closed doors, petitioning and displaying heroio patience in the long pull of advance by evolution are no good. The open desecration of reason on the problems of race relations in America leave the Negro with no alternative but mass action and revolt. This does not mean rioting, violence and bloodshed. It does mean severing allegiance from the old leadership and the old forms, which accept the fact of segregation. It doe mean that the Negro must solidly identify himself with the bloodless revolution of reconstruction which the embattled defender of democracy, East and West, contemplate as the solemn task of the post war world.

This may be, if the people and their leaders can understand the techniques of this bloodless revolution, the Negro's finest hour. Just as it is mankind's finest hour. training aviation cadets to fly Its big bombers and transport planes.
