A TRIUMPH FOR LIBERAL
THOUGHT

The scheduled opening of the Arm
Strong-Hemenwav Foundation next
week is triumph for liberal and pro-
oressive thought in Massachusetts,
The Foundation, with its MANY fine
facilities and its 'blue-ribbon' board of
directors and trustees, is direct slap
IN the face to the reactionarv. patron
ling types of philanthropy which hold
back their generosity unless it can be
"lven under handkerchief head condi-
tons.
EQUALLY important with the opening
Of the Foundation is the fact that
Julian D. Steele, who made a brilliant
Seven-vear record at the Robert Gould
Shaw House. is to be its director. Mr..
Steele has proven time and again that
he is capable of carving the banner
ct interrarial goodwill amono New
Enpland citizens in a constructive
credltable manner. That he has the
COURAGE Of his personal convictions.
even in the face of the wrath of re-
o"tlon, is conclusive nroof that foun-
dation dedicated to the new dav lihnr-
alton of the race is not ill-placed when
entrusted to his hands.
