NORTHAMPTON, Mass. 80
The 146th New England Meth
odist Conference, meeting
here last week voted down a
resolution condemning racial
prejudice in the South and
sent it back to committee for
revision.
The Rev. Franklin j. Knots
of Newtonville, Mass. in Offer
ing the resolution related an
occasion where a Colored
minister was denied permission
to preach in a Southern white
church. The Rev. Henry ].
Bailey of Fitchburg, Mass. op-
posed the resolution on the
grounds that it would serve to
stir up deep-rooted Southern
prejudices and that it conSti-
tuted interference with South
ern MethodistS. He argued
that the resolution should be
revised to apply to New Eng
land only.
The vote was taken by the
nearly 500 delegates after Rev.
S. Marion Riley, pastor of the
Fourth Methodist Church, Bos-
ton, had electrified the con-
ference by rising suddenly in
the midst of the debate and
Shouting
"All those who are not Tor
me are against me-"
A heated debate preceded the
voting. At one point the Rev.
Mr.. Riley charged that the
Deaconess Hospital in Boston,
largely supported by Methodist
funds had rejected a colored
girl who had applied there for
training as nurse.

Japan for

NEW YORK-Japan is inter
eSted in Japan and "has no par
ticular love or interest in the
darker peoples of the earth"
according to DR.. Benjamin E.
Mays, president of Morehouse
college, Atlanta, Ca, in an ar
ticle in The Crisis magazine for
May.
Dr. Mays states: IA few years
ago it was my privilege to ira
vel around the world. talked
with good many Japanese rot
only on that trip but here in
America in college and univer-
sity. One fact became clear to
me. Japan has no particular
love or interest in the darker
peoples of the earth. Japan is
for Japan. And she will seek to
suppress and does suppress her
darker brothers in the same way
as imperalistic white nations.
The idea that existed some years
back that Japan would be the
nation around which the dark
err races of earth might rally
and look to guidance is utter
nonsense. Japan is interested in
Japan. The Colored American
therefore need have no Sympa-
thy for Japan. His destiny is in
the United States of America
and his salvation must be
worked out here where the
ideals are democratic and the
religion is Christian"
