broken out. His position as prophet

bare two months. there's no doubt
that his views inspire correspond
ingly greater confidence and con-
siderably augmented body Of support.
Showdown roll calls in both houses
are certain to reflect this swing OF
the congressional pendulum In the
Presidents favor. In addressing the
joint session yesterday, he conspicu-
ously refrained from any I-told-you-
SO note, except a passing suggestion
that when he conferred with men,
bers of Congress las late as the end
of July about the definite possibility
of war, I should have called 1t the

Keep Out Of War" Theme.
Running through the Presidents
address like the theme OF a musical
composition was his iteration Of the
keep -us-out-of-w war idea. Every sin
gle time he mentioned those words,
or peace, the House chamber, floor
and galleries alike, rocked with ap-
plause. The din was loudest when
the President expressed the belief
that America not only should, but
could, escape embodiment in the
European war.
1t may safely be assumed that the
White House mailbag these days Is
just as crammed with keep-us-out-
of-war appeals as are the sacks of
postal matter piling up in the House
and Senate office buildings. But the
men and women who crave that
Uncle Sam may be spared the hor-
rors of war are by no means uni
versally opposed to repeal of the
arms embargo. 1t is stated at the
Capitol, more or less as a guess, that
opponents of repeal far outnumber
those who favor lifting the embargo.
One member says the ratio of his
mail is 2 to against repeal. But
this would be explainable by the
fact that unquestionably there is
strongly organized effort to deluge
Congress with anti-repeal pleas. as
to which eyebrows are already be-
ing raised. 1t is House and Senate
votes that will count, and the Pres
ident's supporters remain confident
he has them.

OUR CATHOLICS

Our attention has been called to the fact that
among the first bishops to be consecrated by Pope
Plus were two Negroes and that in his first Encyci-
cal to the bishops of the world he makes brilliant
plea for interracal justice. The Holy Father of the
Roman Catholic Church points out chat the founda-
ton for the law of nterracial justice is our common
origin and the equality in human nature in all men,
to whatever people they belong" Certainly Pope Plus
eegnzant- Of the evils raciaiSm has produced IN
our modern time As the Catholic leader of the world
with far reaching influence among millions of
Christians of all races, his words should not be
spoken in vain.
We have received encouragement from the reports
of hunefes Catholic Youth Conferences which have
this year gone record requesting that all Catholic
educational institutions be open to all people regard
less Of color We have long maintained that large
lily-white Catholic universities such as Notre Dame
have done the principles they profess great injus
tice by refusing to admit American Negroes as stu
dents solely on the ground of race. The emphasis
the Catholics are now placing on interracal efforts
will certainly bear good fruit and go far to make
Christian principles prevail in our sinful world.
Racial prejudice and discrimination remain today
the chief challenge to Christianity. Our religious
leaders of all faiths create world of peace
and goodwill among men by sincerely facing the
issues of today and accepting the challenge of racial
ism 1t is the failure of great religious leaders and
organizations to admit of and attack these evils that
accounts for the socaed lapse of the Christian faith

WG, THO negro
By WIN. L. SHERRILL
President fro-American Institute and Federated
Fireside GROUPS

But certainly there is none to Dues
ton the power of self-development,
the driving power which usually
leads to success and achievement.
1t is this upon which we, the Negro
must keep our eyes if we would
find ourselves in a position to be
thankful on another Thanksgiving
Day.
The President, in his proclama-
ton, tells us why the American
people need to be thankful. We, the
Negro know, or ought TO know, that
our portion of all that makes
America is only a meagre one.
In spite of Americas blessings we
the Negro continue to be the under
dog in the country Of our birth,
snatching a pitifully small portion
of Americas great feast, or accept
ing the crumbs from a table laden
with many good things.
THE WORLDS FINEST
In spite of all that America fails
to do for its Negro citizens, in spite
of the bigotry and race hate which
turks in the hearts OF millions of
its people, let us remember that
the American Negro lives in the
finest country in the world. Its citi-
zens are among the worlds finest
people. Though we receive only the
political and economic crumbs from
Americas table it is more than
any other country will dare give us.
In accordance, therefore, with the
published request of our great
president, Franklin Delano Roose-
welt, we, the Negro, join with heart
and soul in the celebration Of our
national Thanksgiving Day. We are
thankful to Almighty God for the
great benefits we have received;
thankful that race hate has not
climbed into the seats OF the
mighty; thankful that the leaders
OF America still have a desire to be
just and play fair. But for those in
America who believe in Justice, Our
pains would be greater this Thanks
giving Day.
LET US BE THANKFUL
Let us be thankful that democracy
remains a glowing aspiration in the
hearts OF millions; that liberty and
freedom is still the hunger of the
A,oorican y,an,Ia. and that we the
