FATHER DANIEL PASSES

It goes without saying that the death OF Father
Daniel of the St, Matthew'S Episcopal Church has
affected the sympathies of thousands OF Detroters OF
both races Few men in our community command
the respect of so wide and diverse following. HIS
death removes from the contemporary scene stall
wart soul who lived all of his life true to his con
victions. That he had convictions no ole who knew
him could deny
Of all the attributes which man may possess there
Is one which we call rather vaguely strength OF
character" This intangible quality escapes real defl
nition but it is easily recognized in our society OF
today, where so many are reeds in the wind and,
like reeds bend with every breeze. This strength OF
character Father Daniel possessed in abundance.
There was never any question about where he stood
on every issue He stood for the truth as he himself
saw the truth, and he stood firm and unyeldlng.
Such a course as Father Daniel pursued won him
devout and loyal friends to whom his loss is very
personal tragedy. There are also those who dis
agreed with him and questioned his philosophy of
life But they, too, will be the first to admit that
Father Daniel was sincere to his faith and re-
CARELESS of consequences made no compromises Such
a figure in our time of startling change becomes
heroic figure He was an idealist, and he fought
for his ideals with courage and rare consistency. He
was truly a Christian soldier.

A FOUL BLOW

The dangerous power of the movie film as
veapon of propaganda has been we'll recognized by
many social, political and religious organizations.
The Hollywood treatment of the Negro in the ma
iorty of instances has been nothing short of depor
able Until recently, however, we as group had not
learned that if we should protest in sufficient num-
bers much of the ridcule and calumny upon the race
would be cut out.
We find a great deal of encouragement, there
fore in the stand taken by the Negro Baptist Con-
vention in Philadelphia which went on record last
week as opposing the release of the film "Gone With
the Wind" The women's auxiliary of the organlza-
ton adopted resolution declaring that Gone With
the Wind by Margaret Mitchell DETAINED the Ne
gro slaves The book by Margaret Mitchell was a
best-seler and its portrayal Of the Negro unques-
tionably had some influence on white opinion regard
ing the Kfro-Hmerican. The filming of the story
does not help our cause as millions who never read
the book will see the false picture of our people.
1t goes without saying that better race relations
in our bi-racia society must be obtained before the
Negro Will ever be able to take his proper place in
the scheme of American life We cannot achieve bet
ter race relations if the media of propaganda in the
country continues to play upon the less favorable
aspects of the group and often invent false pictures
of Afro-America. The film industry is extremely re-
sponsive to public opinion and real campaign of
letter-writing and protest against the general "be
lifting" of the Negro by Hollywood is bound to get
results.

ment in the suppressing OF crime,
and the maintaining OF law and
order.
The attitude of the police toward
the public in other countries such
as France and England, etc, is far
different than of our police in
America. In these countries the po-
lice feel and act as the protectors OF
citizens. If a citizen makes the
wrong turn, blocks the sidewalk,
etc. there is not the rough, gruff,
uncouth speech and methods that
are in vogue in the states. Even
though you are suspected of crime,
police do not grab you-knock you
down or shoot you in the back when
you turn TO walk away. The police
man knows in these countries that
he is the servant Of the people
hired by them to protect them. Be-
cause therefore, the police express
the Big Brother" attitude toward
the public-the average citizen
looks with kindness upon its po-
lice. When a policeman in Eng
land or France finds himself in a
tough spot with desperate char
acter-any passerby is ready and
willing to come to his aid.
POLICE FUNCTIONS
Police department are not
established for the purpose of sub
dueing the community-conquering
and covering the citizens-putting
the fear of death in the populace.
Policemen departments exist for
the purpose of protecting the peo-
ple-safeguarding public peace, pre-
venting the personal rights of one
citizen being invaded by another
citizen. AS is pointed out in re-
cent report on police brutality, that
has been submitted TO the Common
Cuncil OF this city, Police are
governed by the same laws as
citizens. A badge and uniform do
not create the right 10 break the
law or destroy the constitution.
Police have no right to arrest a per-
son or TO search his home without
a warrant issued by a judge. with
certain exceptions; they have no
right to shoot at people except in
extreme cases; they have no right
to punish a prisoner; they have no
right to keep person prisoner

Editor Michigan Chronicle
Dear Sir:
A friend returning from the East
declares that in Detroit and other
eastern cities he finds that the
people are much more intellectual"
than what he has been accustomed
IN in Chicago. He was tremendously
impressed with Detroit and the fine
folks that live there. Evidently the
standard Of culture and manners Is
higher in the East starting with
Detroit.
Chicagoans did not know that
they were at such a disadvantage
but it is well to remember the IA
nous Chicago saying, when we get
through building and making
money in Chicago, we will make
culture hum"
During the Century Of Progress
here a caretaker and executive re-
versed previous opinion that he
had about Negroes. He observed
how careful they were Of his ex-
hioitions in comparison with whites,
who would take all the advantages
they could get.
In other words, Chicago Negroes
are noted for their politeneSs even
though they may not reach the
higher levels Of geniality and learn
ing found in the East Remember.

Fireside Groups d

permitting him to obtain counsel
II they do they are as guilty as the
citizen who commits the same
crime
investigations of police depart
ments in the United States" this
report continues. particularly that
OF the Wickersham Commission
have disclosed that in many cities
the police have been themselves the
greatest violators OF the law. In
these communities, arrests and
searches OF homes without warrant
or Justification are common; beat
ings, shootings, killings. and third
degree methods become routine po-
lice policy.
POLICE AND PISTOLS
Such a condition is not as it
should be, and when such a condi-
ton exists in any town or city the
Negro community is invariably the
worst sufferer.
1t may be argued that criminals
in America carry firearms and ex-
plosives and if they're TO be sub
dued they must be subdued with
firearms. We realize that the job of
police officer in America is no pic
mic, and until more stringent laws
regulating the sale and possession
OF firearms are instituted, the job
of policemen will continue to be a
dangerous job.
On the other hand, if the police
officer will cease to be so quick on
the trigger there will be less use of
firearms by the criminal. The
criminal is more apt to resort to
firearms if officers of the law do. 1t
is a sign OF weakness and ineffi-
cheney, certainly, for the enforcers
of the law whose business it is to
preserve peace and order to en-
ploy methods which are as dan
gerous to the law abiding as the
methods Of the criminal.
In special emergencies violence
must be met with violence; but the
business OF the authorities that ex-
ercise police power should be to
prevent such emergencies and GER
tainly not to resort TO extreme
measures except for the prevention
of crimes that are in themselves of
greater danger than the methods
used to suppress them.
POLICE AND INVESTIGATIONS
So accustomed have our police be-
come to the use Of force that several
cities have been compelled to
recommend investigations Of care
less shootings and third degree
methods OF their police depart
ments.
e Police officers and others in charge
of law enforcement are not the
masters, but the servants Of the
people. Too often they act as if they
were masters.
An uncorrupt and incorruptible
police force guided by intelligence
would not find itself confronted by
the conditions that prevail in the
Detroit police department.
II the police department Of De-
troit saw clearly its duty there
would not now be feud between
it and the citizens of our city.
