BY CHARLES W. LowERY

FLINT, Mieh.-It is impossible TO
deal with the twenty-hrst birthday
OF peace OF nations, races, and in
dividuals OF a race. which was cele-
brated here last Saturday, Nov, II,
except in the light Of the presen,
day situation among the peoples Of
the earth.
OF the Armistice. J. Norman
Lodge writes. "Tweniy-one years
ego today, a great hush fell over
helrs billion acres.
"A hush so great it echoed and
re-echosd replacing the artillery.
machine gun and rifle fire which for
more than four years had sounded
unceasing taps"
From the White House, November
1918, speaks President Woodrow
Wilson:
MY countrymen:
The armistice was signed this
morning. Everything for which
America fought has been accom-
plished. It will now be our fortur ate
duty to assist by example. by sober
friendly counsel, and by material
cid in the establishment Of just
democracy throughout the world
From the White House, November
1899 speaks President franklin D
Roosevelt:
Whereas. in the tragic situation
IN which the world finds itself today
with the destructive forces OF war
once again unleashed it is appro-
pirate for the people Of the United
States to reflect upon that hour OF
November II. 1913. when the voices
OF war we're siierced and 10 took
forward even now to time wher
q just and enduring peace shall be
established among the peoples Of
the earth
Thousands and thousands of
American Negro soldiers fought ana
died "over there" 10 make America
and the world safe for democracy.
There can be no further truth In
every phase of life, whether it be
the shop, factory. or in social or po-
litical sphere. il the Negro does no;
have equal privileges in peace-time
America as he did during war
