FEDERAL COUNCIL, CHURCHES OF CHRIST

New York, Sept. 25-Asserting that we must face frankly the fact that a most dangerous inter-racial situation now threatens our country" the fed eral council of the Churches of Christ in America made public here today & icon structive program" for protecting negroes against mob violence, better ing their condition. and removing the cause of racial troubles.
 The plan was formulated by the council acting in conjunction with a committee representing white and ne- gro citizens from all sections of the United States At a meeting of the committee held here recently a dis cussion of the racial situation took place and it was decided to issue "a cali to the citizens of the United States to act in conformity with the tlanity in the present condition of strained relations between the races The statement outlining the pro- gram is signed by Frank Mason North. president of the federal council. Al bert G. Lawson. chairman of it's ad- miniStrative committed; Wilbur P. Thirkfeld. chairman of the commit tee on Negro churches, and Charles $. Mcfarland, general secretary of the council.
 The first paragraph of the program urges protection against mob violence. It follows:
 The government. local, state and national, should impartially guarantee to all classes security of life and pro perty. Mop violence is becoming a crowd habit. When life and property are ruthlessiy taken, when men and women are lynched with no protection ofn officers or courts. law and order are tranpled under foot. We call upon the pulpit, the press and all good peo- pie to create a public sentiment that will support necessary legislation for the enforcement of existing laws. that life. liberty and the pursuit of happi ness may be equally secured to all classes"
 The negro should have economic justice equal opportunity to get and hold work on the same terms as other men, with equal pay for equal work and with fair working and living con ditions." the program continues. The entrance of large numbers of negroes into the various industries emphasizes the necessity of an immediate amica- ble adjustment of relations with white employers and fellow workers.
 Referring to crimes that provoke mob violence it is said:
 "We call upon men and women ey- erywhere to protect the sanctity Of home and womanhood. We record with satisfaction the growing enlist ment of 70 leaders in a program or ed1lcat ton aud ChriStianization such as tends to prevent crimes that provoke mob violence. The home of the negro should receive the same measure of respect and protection as that Of oth- or Americans and the sanctity of his home relations should be safeguarded in every possible way. Swift and ln- partial action of the law should strike the violator of the sanctity of any

home. white or black"
 Adequate recreational provisions are ground that it is fundamental to the welfare and efficiency. of society" The plea of the negro for equal travel ing accommodations for equal charges is also indorsed.
 Adequate educational facilities for negro children and youth should be provided not only as a national ob1i- gation but as a necessity for national welfare" the committee says. We emphasize the urgency of giving to national funds" It is also asserted that specifications for franchise should be administered irrespective of race, creed vr color
 The council advocates closer coop eration between white persons and ne groes This could be brought about, it says, by organizing local commit tees of white persons and negroes in towns and communities for the con sideration of inter racial welfare.
 The council also recommends that the governor of each state appoint d standing committee for the study of causes underlying racial friction with a view to their removal. It advocates also that congress be requested through | non partisan committee to investigate the disturbed and threat ening inter -ra cial situation through out the nation
 '"The root of the matter" it says, 'is the failure to recognize the negro as a man. If we propose a democratic program for the protection and self determination Of the weak and op- pressed people of Europe as a means of permanent peace and good will abroad, let us apply the same program at home
 A statement by the council prefac- ing the program asserts that the re- cent race conflicts in some Of our cit ies is a challenge to the churches charged with the promotion of the brotherhood of man. This calls for preac ching the duty of economic and community justice for the negro. thus securing peace and goodwill between the races.
