Through Ain
ODen Window
Nv DR. w. G.. HACKETT

r strife-torn world faced Easter
this year. Even so-the cross loom
ed more conspiciously as our only
way to peace than at any other
time in our generation. We must
admit that few people have ac-
cepted it, Nations are at war with
their neigIbors fer the same rea-
son that families with in COM
munity are at war with one an
other-over the materialism of the
world. Every body wants all the
worldly goods for himself, and
he's willing to gain it at any cost
rob, lie, kill and steal for it-any
way to get it!
On every hand We hear people
ask, What will become of the
world if it continues to move at its
present pace?" I wonder if we ever
stop to ask ourselves. whats 60
ing to become of me if 1 continue
my present way of life?" This
change that we hear so much talk
about that must take place in the
world must first take place in the
very heart of every individual first,
then in a small community, city,
state, nation and around the world.
1t must be a contagious thing.
We talk lot about Christianity,
but I wonder if a large majority
of us aren't shaming. Do we really
do unto others as we wish to be
done by them? Do we put ourselves
in the other mans place before we
begin to pass Judgment on him?
Do we expect too much of others
without going our distance in paw
ing the way for true brotherhood?
How can we speak falsely of our
hrothers and still call ourselves
Christians? Isn't Christianity prac-
teal? Jesus way of life Is the
cross.
In this present world a man has
to have lot of stoning to fol-
low Him. His way is not the way
of our present world and although

Jesus had only twelve disciples,
and they were not all true at heart.
Jesus was alone in the garden OF
Gethsemane-but his was OF life
has lived through the centuries.
We see his so-called dis"inles now
how their heads and OFFER some
thing they can PRAYER over the
sick or in his holy temples, but
whether those words are prayers
depend upon the sincerity of the
person to have first done all ne
could in the sight of God and man:
Jesus way is the easiest way OF
life-it only becomes complicated
when we complicate it.

Seeing and Saying BY William 4. Fe'pzke,

large group of Georgia youth ventured to Atlanta to
discuss present day problems facing them. Although
the complete results of the conference are not
yet entirely revealed to the general public old
er Georgians can rest assured that spark of de-
sire for the better things of life possible in Geor-
gia struck at the meeting, regardless of how
slow results come forth.
Among things discussed by the youth was the
matter of educational facilities afforded them in
the state Whatever the youth said must have call
The southern Empire State like the rest Of
due to the attempt by the already poor common
doing it, they keep all they from the colored
minority group and give the rest, which is not
enough, to the majority group and which leaves
both far down the list of educational accom-
plishment
1t interested this writer and must have in
terested you, if you read it the report on how 3
Louisiana parish school superintendent told parents
who asked for l bus that THE place Of
colored people is in the field working, and how
the school board suggested the making Of COW
cred wagon and hitching four mules to it to carry
the children to school,
Although few such reports have come from
other sectors of the South those in charge in most
states must think like the Louisianans, for one
can count the school buses in most states on his
fingers. School Bus transportation is only one OF
the many things that needed to get and keep
colored children in school that they might learn
to make a real democracy.

Comments On Our Race
Relations In The South

races we're kePt separate By 1e-
.duestIng Negroes go enter and
leave by the same door," Thus,
it was believed unnecessary rae
ial friction would be avoided.
However, in recent years, these
same companies, for the purposes
of economy, have discontinued the
conductor and use only the oper-
ator. Negroes are now requested
ito enter the front door and leave
by the rear door," In several SOUTH
ern cities Negroes may enter and
leave the cars without restriction.
RIDE ONE ELEVATOR
Many Office buildings In urban
centers restrict Negroes to one ele-
vator when ''going up" but permit
use of any elevator when coming
down." In other buildings Negroes
are restricted to the freight eleva-
tors but white people also ride
these, when they wish. Still other
buildings place no restrictions upon
Negroes in reference TO riding ele-
vators.
In some stores Negroes are
waited upon in order. while In
others they must wait until the
white people are served. There
are stores where Negroes may
trade but are not permitted to
fit OH shoes. There are stores
with large Negro patronage that
do not furnish lavatOries for
their use.
White merchants who operate a
variety of businesses in Negro
communities often eat in Negro
restaurants, reside in Negro
neighborhoods, and permit their
children to play with Negro chill
dren. Negroes are not even per-
mitted to operate businesses exclu-
Tively for Negroes in the downtown
business area, The white merchants
prevent them from operating as
they would in communities occu-
pied solely by Negroes.
What is the answer to these
problems? The writer does not pre-
tend to know. Experience has con-
vinced him, however, that such
types of convenient segregation"
have been at the root of several
major interracial difficulties. Ne
eroes who strive to be law-abiding,
even though to do so subjects them
to inconveniences which they don't
believe warranted, find themselves
getting into trouble because the
different policies" for accommo-
dation SO often cause them to In
nocently do wrong when they
think they are doing right.

gest that you fill it with facts sucn

iect of which, apparently, you

NEGROES PASSING OUT"
In the back alleys of our great
cities, Negro business Is largely
concerned with Insurance and Un-
dertaking both of which thrive on
the great number of Negroes pass
ing out" in the great metropolitan
areas. In the great productive es-
adjustments, Negroes are confined
for the most part to the lowest
paid jobs for unskilled laborers.
In your own beloved field of So
cial Service, most of the Negroes
are either on relief or working Tor
relief agencies trying while they
are being relieved to get relief for
other city Negroes, - =
In the professions, most OF the
Negroes of average talent and
training are starving in back alleys
of the cities while the few who go
to the country are at least making
decent living as they go along
the country lanes. If you do not
care to think, Professor, at least
you can smoke this good old pipe
full of Georgia tobacco. -.

1T WALTER Il, CHIvLRs
Professor Of Sociology
NfOren0use College

WHITE AND NEGRO people
have lived side by side in the South
for a long time. Different cultural
and racial backgrounds have, at
far too frequent intervals, resulted
in misunderstanding so serious as
to result in disastrous explosions.
These explosions have not been
healthy for the South. Neverthe-
less these two racial groups have
managed to keep moving in the
direction of a better southland.
1t certainly has not been an easy
road to travel. Probably the pri-
mary stabilizing force continually
persistent has been love for native
soil, for, inspite of its obvious faults
"there is no place like home"
CONSTANT CHALLENGE
The history of white-Negro rela-
tions In the South has been con-
slant challenge to the intelligence
and Christian fortilude of men and
women of both races. Even these
superior souls have had To recog-
nize certain conditions as major"
problems, at least for the present,
defying a workable solution.
There is a growing conscious
ness among white and Negro
leaders of the South to the ef-
feet that these major problems
must be adjusted as nearly sat
isfactOrily as it is humanity pos
sible to do, If the South Is to
gain its rightful position In the
American political and economic
scheme.
1t is possible that super-concen-
tration upon these "major" prob
lens has so emotionalized thinking
as to render obscure many funda-
mentally important minor" prob

relations have been growing In
numbers over the years. There IS
ground for suspicion that their

A TfiANKLEss TASK
know Of few things more
thankless than the task of a
white teacher in a Negro col
lege. If the white missionary is
to be replaced by Negro mer-
cenary the going of the whites is
tragedy The only justification of
the drive to displace whites with
Negroes is the belief that their
successors will be Negro mission
aries and not Negro mercenaries.
Whether the teacher of Negroes
is white or black should not mat
ter much.
The foregoing is preface to
what we would say about the
resignation of DR.. Howe al
Hampton. In many ways this is
most regrettable. DIR. Howe in
herited a delicate situation and
has handled it very ingeniously.
That he could have survived nine
wears is remarkable. At heart Dr.
Howe is a missionary and not q
mercenary! He had a heart the
larger destiny of Hampton. These
closest to the Howes say that Mrs
Howe is gracious and never pat
ronizing; that she is fully absorb
ed in the great work which her
great father sponsored so success
fully and so long.
Negroes, am sure, will not be
too oblivious of the good these
conscientious people have done for
Hampton and the causes. I am
more and more inclined to abb
solve these white administrators of
their mistakes and charge them to
their Negro advisers" DR.. Howe
carries with him the gratitude and
respect of thousands of Negroes
throughout this country VINO will
remember him gratefully as mis-
siionary and not as mercenary!

Britain And India

A YEAR AGO, because the
British government was doing its
dernedest to avoid this war, some
people began to doubt that the
British had the CUTS. Perhaps Hit
Ter was among the doubters. The
British answer in the last "a hours
to the German attack ON Scapa
Flow was British; the Royal Air
Force planes, like birds from an
other world, swooped down from
above the clouds, wave after wave,
and rained fell on the German
island Notifications and air base
of Sylt. Meanwhile Hitler's news
agency in Berlin lies TO the poor
muzzled and blind-folded German
people by announcing that the
British attack only set fire to one
house! -''s. 't.
1t is our ardent hope that the
British Empire will hold together
through this war. as the worlds
best bulwark against the worst
menace in human history. We SYM
pathize with India and Gandhi: they
should press forward toward fuller
freedom in wartime as in peace
time. But if they expect absolute
independence from a nation girded
or war and fighting for its life,
hey are fools: for Britain to admit
hat now, would be an acknowledge
ment of defeat, would encourage
.heir deadly Nazi enemy, and would
begin the breakup of the En-
oire.
PUSH TOWARD FREEDOM
This way may give a push to-
ward greater freedom for India,
but it cannot bring absolute in
dependence unless Britain and
France lose the war; and that
would bring to India freedom on
ly to be seized Immediately by
Russia or Japan. Hard-headed
common sense is needed in this old
world, not merely dream stuff and
mysticism: India had better press
for all the freedom they can get 10
this war. BUT short of breaking
up the British Empire or breaking
away from it.

BY VIM. Pickens

Wars are not omnipotent to
change every social anu political
condition at once. We have had our
experiences. in America. The World
war gave our American Negroes
some advantages over their past
but could not bring them into any
"millenium." War is only a pass
ing phase of life, in spite OF its
keen propaganda; those American
Negroes who expected too much
from our 1918 back-Slapping,
speech-making, and our selling of
liberty bonds, to each other. were
simply foolish. War cannot get an
old society permanently out of its
habits in a few months: it will
take years of struggle, education
and social evolution to do that.
War is a mighty push in the pro-
cess, either forward or backward.
The World war pushed the AIneri-
can Negro forward appreciably:
into industry. into more general
recognition.
Lynching has not disappeared
but it is on its way out. once there
would be 204 lynchings in a year,
but in 1889 there were 4, and OF
that 4 were white victims. Getting
down toward normal" We call
that. That war helped the Ameri-
can Negro toward organization and
better spirit for the fight. Out of
the World war came the resurgence
Of the Ku KlllX Klan, of course!
But out Of the same war came the
best technique of opposition the
against the Klan.
WAR A CRISIS
War is a crisis, but permanent
social change is much slower. Lin

did not. and could not FREE the
Negro: it simply opened breach
in the blank wall which opposed
the Negroes path toward freedom
The Negro has been trying to push
through 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
