Permanent Body Favored.

OF conducted for purposes of patriotism
or local improvements or the like.
Permanent Body Favored.
1--WE recommend as of special impor-
tance that a permanent local body rep
resenting both races be charged with
investigating situations likely to pro-
duce clashes, with collecting and dis
seminatng information tending to pre-
serve the peace and allay unfounded
fears, with bringing sound public senti-
ment TO bear upon the settlement OF
racial disputes, and with promoting the
spirit OF interracial tolerance and CO.
operation.
1--WE condemn and urge the discontin-
uance OF the practice OF property own
ers who arbitrarily advance rents mere
ly because negroes become tenants.
1--WE recommend that white persons
seek information from responsible and
representative negroes as the basis OF
their judgments about negro traits.
characteristics and tendencies and there

arising from erroneous tradition and, lit
erature to regard all negroes as belong
ing to one homogeneous group and Ds
being inferior IN mentality ana moral
ity, given to emotionalism and having
an innate tendency toward crime, espe-
cially sex crime.
"We recommend to negroes the pro-
mitigation of sound racial doctrines
among the uneducated members of their
group and the discouragement of propa-
ganda and agitators seeking to infame
racial animosity and incite negroes to
violence.
I'VE urge negroes to contribute more
freely OF their money and personal ef-
fort to the social agencies developed by
public spirited members of their group ;
also to contribute to the general social
agencies of the community.
1--WE point out as injustice and a
cause of racial antagonism the practice
of some employers in hiring negroes as
strikebreakers and discharging them
when the strike Is settled in order to
permit the return of former white en-
ployees We find that the employment
of negro girls at a smaller wage than
white girls is cause OF racial an
tagonism.
I'VE strongly condemn the efforts OF
self-seeking agitators, negro or white.

upon the thinking and the behavior or
the white group generally Racial mis-
understanding has been fostered by the
Ignorance and indifference of many
white citizens concerning the marvellous
industry and courage shown by the
negroes and the success they have
achieved in their fifty-nine years Of
freedom.
THE negro race must develop. as all
races have developed, from lower to
higher planes of living, and must base
its progress upon industry. efficiency
and moral character. Training along
these lines and general opportunities for
education are the fundamental needs.
AS the problem is national in its scope
and gravity. the solution must be ma
tional. And the nation must make sure
that the negro is educated for citizen
ship.
1T is of the first Importance that old
prejudices against the negroes, based
upon their misfortunes, and not on their
faults, be supplanted with respect. en-
,ouragement and cooperation, and with
recognition of their heroic struggles for
self-improvement and of their worthy
achievements as loyal American citizens.
Both races need to understand that
their rights and duties are mutual and
equal, and that their interests In the
common good are IDENTICAL that rela-
tions of amity are the only protection
against race clashes; that these rela-
tions cannot be forced, but will come
naturally as the leaders of each race
develop within their own ranks q realiza-
ton OF the gravity OF this problem and
a vital interest in It's solution. and an
attitude of confidence, respect and
friendliness toward the people Of the
other race.
Understanding Needed.
"All our citizens, regardless OF color
or racial origin, need to be taught by
their leaders that there is a common
standard of superiority for them all In
self-respect. honesty, industry. fairness,
forbearance and. above ALL In generous
helpfulness. There is no help or healing
in appraising past responsibilities, or in
present apportioning of praise or blame.
The past Is of value only as 1t aids In
understanding the present; and an
understanding of the facts of the prob.
lena magnanimous understanding by
both races-is the first step toward its
solution"
The commission prefaces its recon-
mendations with this comment: Each
member of this commission feels that
he has more understanding and less
prejudice than before its work begun"
To the police. militia, States Attor-
ney and the courts, the commission
recommends a detailed plan to deal with
possible rioting so as to nip 1t in the
bud and that equal protection be given

Both parties are to blame for the
scanty registration" said Miss Engle.
They deal too much in personalities
and too little in principles. They
have failed. too, to work systemat-
ically at getting out the voters. But
results would probably have been
better If work for the school loan
had been started sooner. The aver
age person feels little interest in the
election issues.
Sounds Note OF Optimism.
A note Of optimism, in spite of
everything, was struck by Mrs. J.
William Funk, president Of the Re-
publican Women's Club She be-
lieves the decrease in registration
was largely due to the fact that
many elderly women who before
were stimulated by presidential
election, have now sunk back into
their earlier belief that women have
no place in politics.
II feel it Is no case for discourage
ment," Mrs Funk said. II believe
that the most intelligent women did
register and that this class will
steadily increase as women gain In
