MUST OPPOSE.
DISCRIMINATION
R aps Segregation l n
Army, Navy, Defense
Industry

NEW YORK - The Executive
Committee Of the Federal Council Of
Churches in a Message 10 Our
Fellow Christians" today urged
churches 10 set their own houses in
order in the matter Of race dis
elimination, and pointed out thai:
"Out Of the churches Of America
must come leaders who .vigor-
ously oppose all policies and prac-
tees OF racial discrimination in the
armed forces; (who) work con-
Eructively for the relieving Of the
acute white-Negro tensions grow
ing up in camp and war industrial
communities; land who) as employ
ers or workers give strong support
to President Roosevelts executive
order against discrimination in in
dustry. -"
The message, which was directed
10 the members Of the "a national
denominations which comprise the
Federal Council declared that "Ra-
cial discrimination against Negroes
and other minority groups has per
sisted in our communities partly
because it has not been eliminated
from our churches. The achieve
ment Of the Christian ideal OF de-
mocracy in our nation falls short
because of the lack Of clearer DEM
onstration in our churches Men and
women OF all races should be warm
ly welcomed among their members
The experience of our mission
aries has shown conclusively
that we need to achieve justice and
fellowship among racial groups in
our own land in order to show the
sincerity OF our belief in the gospel
we carry 10 the peoples OF other
lands"
The text Of the message contends
that out of the churches OF America
must come leaders who point the
way toward the solution Of race
problems in this country and the
world; continuously assert the in
finite value and dignity of every
person in the sight OF God, regard
less of his race or color; foster a
keener appreciation OF the contri-
buttons of the diverse races to our
common culture; vigorously oppose
all policies and practices Of racial
discrimination in the armed forces;
work constructively for the reliev-
ing of the acute white-Negro ten
sons growing up in camp and war
industrial communities: as employ
ers or workers give strong support
to President Roosevelts executive
order against discrimination in in
dustry: actively participate in edu-
cational programs that bring white
and Negro leaders together for CO.
operation in problems Of mutual
concern.
II the great struggle against the
forces that oppose democracy, free
dom and human brotherhood is to
be successful. the church must give
a fuller embodiment Of those ideals
in its own life. Interracial fellow
ship must become a deeper reality
In the church itself The church, as
the Body of Christ, cannot accept
any barrier to fellowship, either
locally or nationally, based upon
Considerations OF race.

Il am now more than ever con-
vinced that We are going to get on
the offensive and do so at the
earliest practicable moment" Stim-
son said.
His statement lent strength to
reports in London that Gen. Geo
C. Marshall, U. S. Army chief of
staff. and Harry L. Hopkins, were
urging British officials there to
take strong offensive measures on
the European continent this spring
An Army spokesman at Mac
Arthur's Australian headquarters
told newsmen on Wednesday that
lack of instructions from washing
ton had prevented the American
general from setting up his SUI
preme command and that as re-
suit he was still only in charge OF
u. S. forces in Australia and the
southwest Pacific.
StimSon said he questioned whe
ther the spokesman had been au-
thoriZed TO make the statement. He
repeated that Macarthur was in
supreme strategic command of all
united nations forces in his Speci-
fled war theater. StimSon added
that he had been in frequent com
munication with Macarthur, and
that the latter had never raised
any question of jurisdiction with
him.
He tMacArtllur) has overall
strategic command" Stimson said,
"and while the administration and
tactical leadership of the troops
and fleets of the various interested
nations are retained by them, the
practical coordination of effort and
its strategic direction is matter
for Gen. Macarthur, and Gen.
Macarthur alone.
Il recognize that the furry in
the press on this matter is caused
by the concern of the people in the
effective handling of all of our
forces in the Far East from the
standpoint of proper coordination
1T is in that spirit tha- l tell
you there need be no concern. The
forces are coordinated."
