American sentiment would certainly be
inclined to favor paying it now by the
obvious means of using it to cancel the
recent French borrowings. Otherwise
payment will be expected from France as

I service, both of which have vastly in
creased the past few years. When the

But there is as yet great unoccu-
pied field. How can inspiration and
opportunity for spiritual, intellectual
and physical betterment be set forward
into that field? The Cincinnati confer
ence gives an opportunity to answer
the question. There is promise of con
structive achievement in the fact that
it will be truly a national gathering,
and that in it's discussions it will have
the benefit of the views of leaders of
both races. The fact that it is a
Christian gathering, with Christian
purpose underlying all features of the
program, is assuring

A CONFERENCE WITH A PURPOSE

A CONFERENCE WITH A PURPOSE
Our public generally will look for
ward with keen interest to the work
and results of the twentieth national
conference called by the Colored Men $
Department of the Young Mems Chris
tian associations Of North America to
be held at Cincinnati, December / to
A There is real need for this con-
ference, not merely that it has been
twelve years since the last national
gathering under the auspices Of the
colored mems department but because
it is clearly the duty Of our people to
ally themselves in every possible way
with all practical efforts for world
recovery and progress.
Increased emphasis is being placed
today on the necessity for solving
racial problems, and this is a task to
which all groups must apply their best
intelligence and determination, in the
truest spirit of cooperation. The re-
sponsibility Of our people in this con-
nection is great, both because we are
directly concerned in the question and
because we are in more advantageous
position than ever before to cooperate
in it's solution. We have in our own
. leaders men who are capable and for
ward-looking, fully abreast of the
times( contributing to the betterment
of our people and country in ways that
are gratefully recognized. The insti-
tutions which are developing such
leaders and bringing new inspiration
and advancement to thousands of our
youth and young men are recognized
4 as true servants Of civilization and
prophets of a brighter tomorrow.
Among these institutions Of service
the Young Men 3 Christian association
has an important place. It is one Of
the outstanding mediums through
which the needs of colored men and
