TO HELP THE GREEKS

1T is the settled policy of the United
States government to extend aid to those
governments and peoples who defend them
selves against aggression said President
Roosevelt in his message to the King of
Greece.
We think the people of the United
States appreciate the struggle that the
Greeks are making for their independence.
The victories that have been won by Greek
soldiers have giver new glory to land that,
in ancient times, was blessed with greatness
and nobility.
The call will be made, we feel sure, for
contributions to assist the Greek govern
ment in meeting the needs of the critical
hour that brings affliction 20 many Greeks
far behind the lire of battle. We can show
our sympathy very effectively by ma sing
personal contribution 10 relieve suffering IN

Dean Taylor has made no recent
statement regarding the salary dill
fcrcntiais prior to his letter just re-
ccivcd by this bureau.
He wrote. in part:
Last June when the committee
for the Negro StutC Teacher Assoc
citation appeared before the State
School Commission. | did take the
position which ! nuW hOld-that we
in North Carolina should attempt 10
settle the matter of equalization OF
teachers salary without resort to the
courts.
AS far as ! have been able TO as
certain the sentiment of the North
Carolina teachers, they are unanl-
NOUS in feeling that the state could
and should pay equal salaries 10
teachers Of equal training and years
Of service.
in respect to the method of bring
ing this about, however, there IS a
wide difference of opinion among
the Negro groups. The committee
which appeared before the State
Commission in 1889 felt that TINS
problem could and should be solved:
without court action. AS to the
method which Negroes in other states
wish To pursue in their attempt TO
settle the issue, voice no opinion. l
feel that is Il matter for their own
determination.
1t is my philosophy that there
cannot be any real intcr-racial I'M
dcrStanding and cooperation built up
on a foundation Of hypocrisy and
dishonesty. Negro leadership, to be
effective. must above all things aISc
be honest with both the Negro groups
and the white groups. | have insisted
