from the Catholic group. The In
terracial Review recently remarked
editorially:
THE Interracial Review is con-
vinced that Catholics throughout the
country could render great service
to God and country if, in addition to
militantly defending Catholicism
and religious freedom, they would as
frequently and as vehemently con-
denim all other forms Of prejudice,
such as the barriers, determinations
and denials Of opportunity confron.
ing the Negro in America. At the
same time. we believe that the Me-
gro Press, in rightfully combating
race prejudice, should not be silent
in the face Of vicious, atheistic and
Communistic attacks upon religion
and religious freedom. And SO too,
Jewish leaders, in making we'll
justified appeal to all Americans to
condemn the evils of Nazisnl, should
not ignore the bigoted assaults OF
those who direct their hates against
other groups because Of color, class
or creed. Certainly the defeat Of
prejudice and hatred should have the
full support Of every liberty loving
American. But our minority groups
should be particularly active in
| combating this epidemic since they
are the first victims of its ravages-
For any minority group to take
defensive attitude and protest
against the particular prejudice
confronting it, and ignore the mani
festations of hatred suffered by
other groups, is to confirm neon
sistency and to tolerate intolerance.
/ Indeed there is every reason why
the various groups in America, VINO
are the principal victims OF preJu-
dice. should vigorously attack each
and every foe on every front.
1--WE are convinced that the Cath
olic Press should take the lead in
condemning hatred and prejudice of
| every kind. 1t is logical that We
do this, first-because love and
charity, tolerance and cooperation
are fundamental to our Faith; sec
ondly-because ours is the Church
universal which includes men OF
every group, every race, and every
i color and insists upon the sanctity
| Of the natural rights of all mankind.
The advocates of Christian Democ--
racy must wage incorporating
warfare on this triple headed mon
ster Of hate-Race Prejudice, Reli-
gious Prejudice, and Class Preju-
! dice"

Clarence j.. BroaDn
Should Be Nominated
And Elected

Ii is generally conceded that
the rubber stamp congress q
the New Deal administration has
almost undermined the founda-|
ton Of American principles O
government as established by the
founders Of the republic.
All of US can't go to Washing
ton to legisIate, therefore we
elect representatives who are
supposed to think for themselves
and vote for the best interest Of
the country ia general and 81
their district particularly, rather
than to be a '.yes man" for the
President. Few Of the present
members Of congress can bel
measured BY this yardstick OF
public service as a representa-
tive Of the people. Thus voters
should be very careful as to-
whom they nominate in the prl-
mary election August 3.
The principles Of American
ism, the welfare of all citizens,
and peace with all nations will
be secured when strong, intelll-
gent, uncompromislng represerl-
tatives are sent to congress.
The Seventh District Of Ohio
IS fortunate in having a man OF
such ealiber as d candidate for
the Republican nomination IN
the person of Clarence j. Brown,
Of BIanchester. Although still a
young man, Mr.. Brown has had
q long and honorable career in
state and national politics. He
has served as lieutenant COVER
nor of Ohio; three terms as sec
retary of state, and led the Big
Eight" delegation to the Repub-
lican National Convention at
Cleveland. MAY we divert here
to state Mr.. Brown insisted that
coiored Ohioans should have rep
resentation on the Big Eight J.
His opinion was concurred in by
other state leaders, resulting in
two colored delegates being
nominated and elected by the
largest vote ever given colored
candidates in the state.
AS secretary of state Mr..
Brown instituted reforms in the
election machinery that stopped
the work OF crooked politicians
thus making it possible to have
fair elections in Ohio. Every
public duty entrusted to his care
has been performed faithfully
in the interest OF the people.
In seeking to be congressman
from the 7th district, Mr.. Brown
has outlined some definite legis-
lation which he believes will be
beneficial to the farmer, labor,
and business both large and
small. The Seventh district is
agricultural and industrial. Mr.
Brown is acquainted with the
problems of each of these
groups, beng himself farmer
and manufacturer as well as a
publisher.
Can Be Elected
Two years ago the Seventh
District elected a Democrat to
congress who dares not speak
for the people he represents.
The citizens of the district want
real representative one who
is not afraid to oppose the un-
American policies of the New
Deal. Clarence Brown is the man.
Nominate him August 3 and he
will be elected November s, and
the Seventh Congressional Dis
trict Of Ohio will have a spokes-
man in Washington.

Studying Vacations.

The fundamental seriousness Of
the employment situation as it will
affect the youth Of today when they
become breadwinners, IS being given
searching consideration by the
American Teachers Association at
its annual meeting at Tuskegee. The
theme Of the meeting is "The Negro
Youth Looks at Occupations in
America"
Experts on vocational problems,
and in the various vocational fields,
are listed to speak on the subject of
choosing or preparing for job. In
addition to the educators themselves
discussing the problem, persons OUT
side the field of education, who have
made a conspicuous step toward
solving vocational problems in their
particular work, have been invited
to give their views. For instance, an
expert in the field of business, James
A. Jackson, formerly Of the Depart
ment of Commerce and now special
representative of the Standard Gil
company, has been invited to tell
how new employment opportunities
may be found in the field Of business.
Mr.. jackson has done good work IN
getting Negroes placed with COM
nanies which formerly had no en-
ployment policy on Negroes, and did
not seriously consider the import
ance of cultivating the Negro as 9
| consumer. Also, discussion in the
| fields Of home economics, rural life
| and the mechanical trades is sched-
uled to be heard.
While this approach is rather
slow, considering the acuteness od
the employment problem, it is never
theless sound. II is we'll that tht
/ educators, the planners Of the group
are taking an active and offlcia
hand in trying to cope with thi!
paralyzing condition that is putting
fear into so many young hearts. I
is no longer sufficient simply Il
train youth; youth must be trainet
with definite objective, based OF
conditions as they actually exist
| With such q program taking shape
we may hope for more balanced liv-
ing in the future.
