IN REl6IOH 6 THOUGHT
by ROBERT L. O

Seeking the Desert Places
Once again we enjoy vacation
season. Thousands of people are
going to and fro to various towns
and resorts. These r seeking
quietnes and rest. An of us ap-
preciate the adage: "All work and
no play makes Jack a dull boy"
Remember that vacations were
designed only for those who work.
1t is absurd to expect a loafer to
be weary and need a vacation.
Those who labor and are heavy
laden are those who need rest.
Though our Lord was a busy
man. He charged his helpers to
"come up, depart into a desert
place, and rest a while" Many are
not fortunate enough to leave the
city, but an occasional visit to the
parks or lake will help soothe the
mind and body. Wherever we go
let us see that we shall do only
those things which are safe for
ourselves and others.
There are many youth camps,
religious camp meetings, and sum
mer conferences for young and
old. To those who shall go away,
We say, bon Voyage" and "Be
Careful"

Marine Strike Ended,
-Four Ships Sail for
Americans Abroad
Four Others Ready;
Seomen Get IS Per Cent
Wage Increase

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-With a
week-old marine strike settled, four
ships returned today to the task of
bringing home Americans stranded
in Europe, and four more made ready
to sail.
A compromise agreement approved
by the crews Of eight strike bound
passenger vessels assured the seamen
Of a 25-cent increase in wages.
Negotiations to grant them a bonus
for sailing through war zones were
continued. The question Of war risk
insurance was left up to Congress,
which will be asked by the United
States Maritime Commission to
grant 1t authority to underwrite
Government-backed war-risk insur-
ance for seamen.
Sailings of four Of the struck ships
the Excambion, Scanstates, Amer
ican Trader and American Traveller
were rushed, and they pulled away
from their piers as soon as possible
after the settlement.
Four others-the Washington,
Acadia, st. John and Iroquois-will
leave during the day. The normal
passenger capacity of the eight liners
Is $500. With extra cots and other
equipment aboard, they can crowd
on double that number.
A belief that Britain's convoy sys-
tenn was beginning to operate more
efnciently was reflected In reduced
war risk insurance rates by Ameri-
can marine underwriters.
The rate on shipments in bellig-
erent vessels to and from the British
Isles was cut from 81 a 500 to $6.

America, with offices in the Lincoln

Commenting on the alarming spread
Of un-American propaganda in this

"Our Bill of Rights, with its demo-

and of the press, makes it possible to
spread propaganda and prejudice Of all
sorts. We cannot avoid this danger
wholly without surrendering basic
American liberties and submitting to
censorship Among a people, IN
trained to detect lies and the motives

Teachers can meet this danger, how

Let us say it all together, THEY DIE
NOT. We are not prepared to voucl
for every detail of the story but the
facts describe the attitude of many Of
our intelligentsia Obviously such op
portunities as this usually find a large
majority of Negroes unable to be in
cluded because of limited capital and
logically enough, as consumers, we
should be employed where we spend
our money; but why do we generally
wait until the race is run and then
step up and expect to share the APP
plause and profits?
So the news of Admiral Byrd and
the possibilities of this hitherto undis-
covered land causes us to decry the
paucity of Mathew Hensons in our
group, to yearn for more persons who
are willing to sacrifice social popu-
larity for substantial advancement, to
bemoan the cruel fate that has SO inn
bued us with grasshopper character
istics unable to shake off the lethargic
cloak of self-sustained ignorance.
