RACES RISING.

when we consider that all the
races are moving on and up to COM
mon goal it is fair to speak of them
all as overlapping races. And the
backward races are obviously rising
faster than the white race. They are
overtaking us. 1t fills us with admira-
ton and alarm to see how close Japan
and China are pressing upon us.
When we see the Afro-American pass
ing in forty-five years from total illit-
eracy to only SO per cent illiteracy,
when we find that they have come to
own in this country farms equal in
area to both Holland and Belgium, it
is not hard to see that no people in
history have risen so rapidly as they
in an equal time.
In our united world the races of
men can never advance separately.
They must stand or fall together
Competition between them will be in
creasingly close in every line. There
is bound to be conflict ahead greater
and more far-reaching than the world
has ever known-conflict between the
races. The only question is, on what
plane will that conflict be? 1t may be
a doubtful physical conflict with untold
suffering and horrors of war. Or ii

After all, it may be that the whole
