Britain And India
And Common Sense

the American toward organization
and Il better spirit for the fight. Out
OF the World war came the resurg
ence Of the ku Klux Kan, of
coursel But out Of the same war
came the best technique of opposi-
ton the Negro could ever have
brought against the Klan.
War is crisis, but permanent
social change IS much slower Linz
coins Emancipation Proclamation
did not, and could not, FREE the
Negro; it simply opened q breach in.
the blank wall which opposed the
Negroes path toward freedom. The
Negro has been trying to push thru
that breach for seventy-odd years
since, and has made some progress,
some surprising progress, but
the process is not nearly completed
yet. There are still generations Of
fight, struggle and suffering ahead.
We had many illusions when we
were at war,--we white Americans
and we colored Americans. But il
we had had good sense We would
have known that we wo4'd come
out Of them as one comes out OF the
effects Of dope, when there is no
more dope. War is not natural
and typical social force or ndi-
tion. But the Negro soldiers show
ca hard headed sense: When German
planes flew Over the lines OF Negro
soldiers and dropped leaflets, say
ing: What are you here fighting us
for? Lay town your guns and COM
over into Germany: you can eat IN
any restaurant IN Germany the
blacks answered by taking shots at
those German ltanes. That was
good sense. In this present war,
the other day the German erected
large signs facing the French and
saying: why do you fight for the
British?' The French answered with
their artillery and demolished those
signs. That was good French sense.
The British and French did not
want this war. Tho Germans forced
it. All the world knows that, all
but few idiots. Ii Mussolin has
his right mind, he wi stay on the
fence. III Stain has not gone mad,
he will do no more than he has al
ready done to help the most dan
gerous enemy Of Russia. At any
rate we expect the British to fight
| They are not the breed to surrender
even in an uneven fight. II corn
cred, they will not sink their own
! ships. That is German stuff.
Let India see that the issues of
this war will affect more than Lon
don and Paris There Ii nothing u
| brag about in the present World
civl ization but that British French
battle line is standing in defense of
whatever little good there Is in this
civilization. We Americans do not
want hostility, but will face plenty
OF 1t, if that line gives way
