Here And
There
By w. M. Smith

Bernarr Macfadden, editor of
Liberty Magazine, in a recent edi-
torial, passionately assails the in
difference of the American people
for it's unconcern in matters relat-
ing to the country's lack of defense
preparation for a possible war.
Mr.. Macfadden's emotional out
burst expressed with such vigor
and logic, crossed my mind as I
sat in the closing meeting of inter
racial week in the Citizens Aid
building, Minneapolis, last Wednes-
day evening.
Here was a meeting called in the
interest of the Negro people, as i'm
portant to it as the question of de-
tense is to the whole American
public.
AS looked over the so odd peo-
pie who made up the audience
which should have been counted in
the hundreds, 1 felt somewhat in
the frame of mind of the editor
who so bitterly attacked the indif-
ference of the American people in
a problem so important and so far
reaching. .- rs
The white speakers of the inter-
racial meeting-there were several
of them-leaned over backwards in
their anxiety to show they were not
disturbed by the apparent indiffer-
ence of the people in whose interest
they had come-a very gracious
gesture on their part, l thought.
But this did not, for me, prevent
a feeling Of encouragement and

which advocates child labor, does
not tolerate collective bargaining,

such crimes as burning Negroes at
the stake and denying them consti.
