April II, DR.. MacLean told his
audience what he h d learned
of Negro Higher Education in
his first eight months as preSi-
dent of Hompton Institute. With
these fresh impressions of an old
campaigner in a new field Of ac-
ton and the research and daily
exploration of the general field
of Negro higher education as
his background, tn Hampton
president declared that the
South was number one economic
problem of the nation because
ut has wasted many of its
physical resources and spent so
much energy in keeping the
Negro in his place instead of
managing and developing both
its physical and human resourc-
es, both white and Negro"

Point b. point, DR.. MacLean

afford to make the thousands of
mistakes made yearly by most

urged that educators not be
fooled in selection by too narrow
criteria such as high academic

ming the curricula for Negro

colleges and universities must
not be initiated. but studies

Neither Japan nor Germany

The more territory taken in the
weaker the conqueror becomes.
Spreading out men to police the
territory taken in is the catch.
If every human being on
earth was brought to Texas he
or she could be given an acre or
two of space and yet there be
land enough for all-and not q
single solitary soul on the whole

one has only to conquer the
army and navy to be master of q
country is no longer true for
today everyone able to do any
thing is in on the quarrel. The
civilian population of England
for instance is to a man armed
and ready to fight. The quaint
code of getting at least one of
the enemy per man prevails in
every quarter of the world now.

enough of certain nations to 90

MINORITY ROLE

and chairman of the Republican
National Committee gives him a
leavy burden to carry. Neverthe
'.ess the COP National Commit
tee has shown good judgment
in refusing to permit Mr.. Martin
to resign for he has proved him
self to be a capable party pead-
er and a Statesmn of consider
able stature. Probably more eff
fectively than than any other
COP leader in Congress, Mr..
Martin has outlined a reason
able course of action for Re-
publicans in the present emer-
gency. 1--WE may differ among
ourselves" Mr.. Martin told the
House in supporting the Senate
amendment to the lease-lend
bill recently, but there is no
division in our loyalty to our
country or to our determination
to protect t h security of our
people. We are one people, an
undaunted people, determined
that real Americanism shall not
perish" -.
Mr.. Martin sees no occasion
for inactivity on the part of the
minority party. He seeks nation
: al unity for defense and in pur-
suance of other policies which
Congress approves through the
democratic process. But he also
points to the need for IAN intelli-
gent, constructive and courag-
eous. opposition" National unity
vital AS it is, must not degener-
ate into the expression of a
single standpoint. When the ma
ton is face to face with gigantic
problems, the opposition party
has a special obligation to
counsel the administration in
spirit of nonpartisanship and
to criticize policies it believes to
run counter to- the national in
terest. In the present emergency
the minority party has an OBJ
legation only less important than
that of the majority to meet
each new problem with courage
and honest thinking. Mr.. Martin
provides a happy link between
Republican legislators and the
party organization in fulfilling
this responsibility-Washington
