Newport, r. l., Jan. 22.-One of
the most influential daily news
papers in America, the Newport

torial endorsing definite program
for justice. Says The News:
"Apropos of recent article in
these columns, touching upon the
intensity and the insistency of the
Negro problem confronting the ma
ton under postwar conditions, and
the imperitive need for some meas
ure of racial adjustment to secure
and make sure peace and harmony
between the blacks and whites, It
Eis gratifying to see a definite plan
put forward looking to this very
end. This is proposed by the Fed
eral Council of the Churches of
Christ in America, and is called
constructive program" 1t is by
far the most comprehensive, most
suggestive and most practical
scheme which has yet come to our
notice, and ought to go far to-
wards a solution of the problem
liz wisely applied and rightly &C
cepted by both parties in interest.
PSalient features in this pro-
gram. which can only be barely
of security of life and property to
all classes, by national, state and
local governments, supported by
public sentiment in the enforce
ment of existing laws and possible
new legislation, economic justice
for the Negro, which shall accord
him equal opportunities to secure
and retain employment, on the
same terms as other men, with
equal pay for equal work and fair
living and working conditions; pro-
lection of the sanctity of home and
womanhood; adequate recreation
facilities; equal travelling ,accomo-
dations for equal charges; proper
educational opportunities, with a
full share of national and local !
funds; impartial application of the
franchise, irrespective of race or
color, and closer cooperation be-
tween the races by organizing To-
cal committees of White and Col
ored citizens for the consideration |
