Gently the prevailing idea was
that the interdependence OF

woe.
That the gesture also offers
concrete evidence of chang
ing south is known to those
who have studied the changes
wrought by the depression
years. Economic forces have
come nightly to the aid Of re
ligious forces during the era Of
hard times which saw the
south branded as the economic
sore spot of the nation. W hen
white people and Negro peo-
pie were both hungry and
looking for jobs and receiving
relief dealt out by an impair
tial hand, the race problem
was inevitably subordinated TO
the economic problem. And
wise leaders Of both races
seized the opportunity to show
that the south can never be
prosperous until white and
Negro people work together
for d common prosperity
which they must share.
To read too much in the ges-
ture at the Baptist congress,
to exaggerate its Importance
would be easy and should not
be done. Racial harmony at
a church conference and racial
harmony in the give and take
Of everyday life are two Ell
tirely different things, as all
men know who have found it
much more difficult TO prac
tice than to preach. Yet the
south is changing when even
