CaIvin's Digest
BY FLOYD j. CALVIN
Church Ku-KIuxer

The philippe of DR.. Lorenzo Fl.
King, minister of st. Marks M. E.
Church of New York, against the
proposed union of the Northern
and Southern Churches with the
Negro set off to one side, has
brought a light to a unique phe-
nomenon in religious circles. This
alleged follower of the Lowly Naz-
arine who in reality is a waver of
the bloody shirt" halls from the
city of Detroit where he is editor
Of the Michigan Christian" Ad-
vacate, an Independent Methodist
weekly. Writing on "The Editors
Own Page" in his issue of Febru-
ary IL, William H. Phelps heads
his blast: "Some Bad Feeling
Over Unification. Mr.. Phelps
says: Our Negro Conferences
have been voting strongly against
Unification." It was expected that
there would be a strong opposi-
ton on such question, but there
has been an unexpected develop
ment of that opposition. Comes
now an item of bad news from
New York City land then the
writer quotes DR.. King in his plef
to the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
ple to use it's legal facilities to
block the merger. The editor then
continues: Primarily, that is bad
news for the Negro, and because
it is bad for him, it is bad fo7
all of us. Legal action Of this
sort stands a slim chance in the
courts, but it stands a mighty
The Arizona gleam., 1937-03-12

good chance Of wrecking the spirit
of unification and crushing the
Negro beneath it's ruins.
And this is where the Detroiter
joins his local Black Legion, mod
ern version of the Ku Klux Klan:
This effort to block Unification
will sour the Conferences in the
Church and change the large ma
jority that favors it. It may even
lead to its defeat, and the blame
would go to one place, and only
one. It will discourage the Neg
ro's best friends in the North and
tempt them to let the Negro Sec
ton shift for itself. Thousands of
Northern Methodists will say: We
have fought long years for the
Negro and we thought we had
won for him a truly great adv
ance. If he does not think so, let
him carve out his own plan and go
to it," t
It is almost unbelievable that a
bigoted pronunciamento would
come from a spokesman of the
Church, not matter how great the
provocation. Here we are told
in plain English that the Negroes
preference (even though he is
showing it by his vote) is Of no
concern; that white people have
decided what to do, and the Negro
can take it or leave it, or get out.
No wonder there are those who

some attitude toward them by
young men?
"By first of all demanding such
an attitude because attentions or
friendships with young men not
having the proper attitudes
would not be accepted.
"By behaving in such manner
themselves that the young men
were bound to honor them.
"By not being so anxious for
attention from young men that
they cheaper themselves, but
rather by holding themselves as
needing to be sought and appre-
ciated and accepting the only
young men of high qualities"

able that others consciously or

Mussolini Goes Mad
When the final chapter in the
life of Benito Mussolini is written,
t is yet possible to say that his
ruthless invasion of Ethiopia was
the beginning of his decline. To-
day we read the horrible news
that this mad dictator has ordered
1,4OO Ethiopians shot for some one
person, or at best small group,
throwing a hand grenade at Col.
Graziani, without fatal result.
How long must the Lady Peace
hang her head in shame while this
mad dictator beats the tom-toms
of international hate and discord?
How long must Justice wait. on
the threshold of a so-called Christ
ian world, before she is hidden to
enter? How long must the dark

her humiliation from the atrocities
heaped upon their kind by this a.

Chaingang Picture
Recently there appeared in
many newspapers throughout the
country a picture of colored men,
bers of the chaingang fighting the
Mississippi flood. The picture,
humiliating at best, showing hu-
man beings on errands of mercy
working under slave conditions,
was presented from different view
points in different sections Of the
nation. In New York the picture
was given a legend which subtly
critized social order that, for
any reason, publicly forces men
to wear a chain. In Oklahoma City
colored citizens are incensed be-
cause a local daily paper published
the same picture with an oppro-
brious caption-one which catered
to the ancient stereotype Of color
ed men working on a levee.
Suffice to say, however, that in
spite Of these untoward incidents,
out Of the scourage Of the flood
there came this: The unmistak-
able attempt, on the part Of relief
officials, to give succor without
discrimination. We not with ap-

Louisville Leader has seen fit to
take to task fellow editor for
carrying stories to the effect that

asserts, relief officials are deserv-
ing of high praise.

flood comes along, the etiquette Of

the general took orders, and q

Mr.. Toland came nearer death
as a policeman than he did as a

Harlow has the ideal back for this
set-up A halfback in the fullback
position, he has developed decep-
ton TO an art. Harlow calls him
"the magnificent faker."
Struck had a field day the after
noon Harvard showed under Prince
ton by 34-6. He carried the ball 30
times, and gained ZIG yards on spin
bucks aimed through Princeton's
tackles. He crossed the Tiger goal
three times and produced one of
the finest exhibitions ever shown by
Crimson back.
A whirling dervish If ever foot
ball player was one, Struck carried
the ball on two of every three run
ming plays and slipped the ball to
a teammate on the other
Coach Fritz Crisler, when asked
what he thought of Struck as ball
carrier, replied ITO tell you the
truth / didn't watch him much at
ter the first few minutes. Most
of the time sat on the bench with
my hat before my eyes. Every time
looked up the Harvard team was
lining up to try for the point after
touchdown. Struck had scored
again.
"A well-meaning alumnus rushed
up to me between halves" Crisler
contirAled and said: IT he way to
stop Harvard is to tackle Struck
on every play
My answer was: That's exactly
what we have been doing. Trou-
BILE is our safety man has been max
ing all the tackles"
