RACE RELATIONS


and helpful program on Race Re-
lations."
This is a favorable sign. When
different races begin to try to know
and to understand one another, peace
and happiness take the place Of de-
struction and strife.
The automobile has been a great
civilizer- because it has enabled peo-
pie to get quickly and easily about
the country and to become acquaint-
ed with one another. The telegraph,
the newspaper-these most of all
the telephone, the street car, the Ia
bor-saving devices such as typewrit
ers, elevators, adding machines-al
have contributed to this great civil
izing process because they have re-
lieved the human race of arduous
physical toll and have given men
time and strength to become ac-
quainted with one another.
Wars are founded on fear and sus-
picion and misunderstanding AS
Mayor Frank A. Jefferson said in his
address before the Race Relations
Day audience last Sunday, when men
learn to know each other they cease
to be suspicious of each other. They
begin to find the good in each other,
and finally, there comes that time
of understanding, mutual sympathy
strife ceases, and concerted effort
for the good Of all begins.
study of history of the human
family shows us this is true. In the
early ages of mans development he
was a cave dweller. Conditions were
such he could not get about easily
and safely. Consequently he did not
know his next cave neighbor. The
result was each cave family consid-
cred itself as a race unto itself
and fought every other family.
Strife, bloodshed, loss of possessions
and death resulted. Gradually a
dawning reasoning power began to
tell these cave dwellers this was
uneconomical They beagn to learn
that by working and fighting togeth-
er they could overcome their COM
mon enemies among the animals-or
other cave dwellers. 1t was then the
tribal form of human relationship
had it's birth.
After centuries of fighting, destruc-
tion, suffering and death, the tribes
gradually reasoned out that if they
amalgamated they could better resist
other preying tribes-and nations of
peoples had their birth.
Sad it is that nations have not yet
Phoenix tribune., 1926-02-27

with the greatest destruction and
loss of life is just over as result.
Now the airplane the fast ocean
liner, the cable, and the newspapers
are fastening the day of acquaint-
anceship and understanding which
will inevitably result in nations do
ing what individuals, families and
tribes have done before-get ac-
quainted and stop warning.
But that time is not yet Indica-
tions all over the world are that we
still have much to learn before ma
tions will work together and national
selfishness and greed give place to
common effort for the common good.
There are those who scott at the
possibility of this ever being brought
about. But those same scoffers, had
they lived in that other age when
families fought families, would have
deemed tribal relations just as i'm
possible of accomplishment. Had
those same scoffers lived in that
day when tribal relations held sway,
they would have just as surely
preached the impossibility of nation
alization.
So, then, the trend of the times is
toward universal peace-and not the
least of the influences driving the
world to that point is the very de-
structiveness and horror of modern
wars, rendered so terrible and effec-
tive by chemistry and modern inven-
ton that the next war will see no
non-combatants. Every woman, ev-
cry child, every babe, sucking in
contentment at its mother breast will
be in the battle as well as the men.
So when the colored people begin
to seek a closer acquaintance and
sympathy with the white race, when
they seek to solve the problems due
to misunderstanding because of diff
ference in color and habits they
have accomplished a great stride for
ward which must one day bear won
derful fruit in a greater friendship a
more effectual concertedness of move
ment and effort for the common
good
The colored people of Phoenix are
to be congratulated on their efforts
along this line and the white DeO-
pie should lend every effort and
every sympathy toward the move
ment.

What is the economic height for

story type recently predicted for our
future cities by Alfred Bosom. noted
New York architect. or some unknown
but determinable level fixed for each

laws whicn govern rent returns!
What effect does nO-parking ordi

of a mans income should be spent OH

Does it pay the owner of an office
building to spend money for pillared
portals or imposing towers? Should
a apartment house radiators be camou-

How car letter boxes be made an asset
