CamphOr Memorial Methodist

inspiring and spirit filled meetings
of the year the officers of the
church came to the altar for con-
secration last Sunday morning fol-
lowing the sermon by Pastor C. T.
R. Nelson, on the subject "Conse-
Grated Volunteers Needed for the
Lords Army" Pupils of Prof. R.
Nelson Barber, our organist, who
is i'll in Bethesda Hospital, presided
in very creditable manner at the
console of the organ in the services
last Sunday. Miss Olga Anderson
played for the morning service and
Miss Esther Zachary for the eve
ming service. Pastor Nelson will
speak on the subject "Thank God
for Mothers" at the II a. m. serv-

POWER

Trust not that tyranny is leased by kings
The menial may be despot in his soul, -.
But wanting power and broad control,
Must vent his villainy on little things.
When lightning cleaves Earths purple canopy,
Suppose some grimly purblind neighbor,
Instead of God, should WELD the sabre,
Could Nature ever give, sufficient panoply?
Strange paradox that lowly men would abrogate
For other men the rights they've claimed,
Assault dear Liberty and leave her MANNED,
TO bear the nameless spawn of biased hate
Few men can wear the royal robes of power
With sympathy for small beginning,
Intolerance is the easy way of SHINING,
Bigotry's the weed that Stimulates a flower.
Must the little heart raise barriers of CASTE
Allotted by imagined sovereignty of race,
Live forever cruel lies to save its face,
Until the transient mastery and ego fade at last?
Efe's darkest gloom's in seeing things defective
Though Faiths too splendid to pervert,
The wise man sounds his own alert,
Chances no dependent future-sees all objective
Deeds of noble men will e'er attest great attitude,
Achievements greater far shall be done
But let God keep the power of storm and sun,
Rule wind and sea-make Earth mans latitude!

Most of US know the Chinese
people only from the standpoint Of
a laundryman or chop suey mer-
chant. What a sad commentary on
our race as historians! The story
of China began with the creation,
but as far as the average Negroes
acquaintance with its history be-
gins is when he carts some dirty
linen in a Chinese laundry and re-
ceives a ticket in exchange, or
when he purchases an order of egg
foo yong.
Of the Japanese, we know less;
which amounts to naught, yet we
believe they are our sincere friends
and that they are directly or in
directly fighting white supremacy
in our behalf. How do we get that
way about Japan?
When the late Ambassador Saite
was asked by a prominent Wash
ington Negro regarding the opin-
ion of the Japanese people on the
colored American, the ambassador
pondered awhile, thumped his pen
Gil on his desk and replied: "No
national unity, no flag, no conse-
quence."

NAACP Needs Help to
Maintain Washing
ton Bureau

Editor: An extension of the serv-
ice by the N.A.A.C.P. to the Negro
has just been put into effect-the
establishment in the national cap
ital of a bureau to battle seven
days a week and as many hours a
day as necessary to protect the
rights of Negroes during this most
crucial period of the worlds his
tory. These headquarters are To-
Gated at 100 Massachusetts Ave-
nue., two blocks from the Union
Station and close to the Capitol,
the Senate and House office build
ings, the Supreme Court and other
government agencies. A cordial
invitation is extended to all friends
of the N.A.A.C.P. to visit US when
ever in Washington.
The N.A.A.C.P. should have been
financially able to make this step
some years ago. Washington today
is the center of activity not only
of the United States but, in large
measure, the place where decisions
affecting the future of the entire
world are being made. Long-range
work and the holding of mass
meetings and other demonstrations
for steady pressure on Washington
are absolutely essential. But the
time, money and energy put into
activities outside of Washington
will not have their maximum effect
unless there is at the national capi-
tol intelligent, persistent, day-to-
day follow-up work by an agency
which through the years has earned
the respect of those in authority.
The N. A. A. C. P. has only a
very small part of the minimum
cost of $4,000 a year to pay for
the maintenance of this bureau.
Since this agency can conceivably
do much towards wiping out segre-
cation and discrimination in the
armed forces, and can put into the
pockets of Negroes millions of dol
lars in wages in defense industries,
and can protect the citizenship
rights of 13 million Negroes, we
ask through the medium of your
columns, generously contributed by
you, that those who are far-vi-
stoned enough to see the i'm
portance of Washington bureau
contribute such sums as they can
afford towards it's maintenance.
Cheques and money orders. should
be made payable to Mary White
Ovington, Treasurer, and sent to
the N. A. A. C. P. at SO Fifth Ave-
nue., New York.
Ever sincerely,

JAPAN NO FRIEND

anything, and are devoid of what
we call race prejudice
"That is, they have the strongest
possible feeling Of race, conscious
ness of being Chinese, and can
combine with other races without
losing it; but they have no system
of social discrimination against
races darker or less advanced than
their own.
The brown and black peoples of
Asia, subjected as they are to an
infnity of discrimination from
the side of the white people, find
charm and solace in this quality of
the Chinese, the cool, almost in
different friendliness which accepts
men of all colors on the basis of
ideas and manners, and not of
skin"
We can heartily agree with Mr..
Sheean when he cites that Chinese
have no system of social discrimi-
nation. Those who haven't been
misled by their association with the
American white man have shown a
total disregard for Jim Crow and
miscegenation laws in this country.
They have intermarried with
Negroes, reared families both in
the North and South, and employed
cOlOred labor in preference to all
others. In many southern states
the Chinese is considered white
man, in others he is labelled as col
ored, yet he ignores whatever ra-
cial designation attached to him
and attends to his own business
without wasting mental motion on
debating about the color of ones
skin and his station in life.
Back in 1887, after the Ohio and
Mississippi floods, the Chinese peo-
pie entirely of their own accord
raised more money for the relief
of our flood victims than any other
country except Canada.
The Chinese acquires his lessons
in brotherhood from Confucius, his
great spiritual leader. COnfucius
revised the old Chinese Bible, in
which he created a Bible without
God, for COnfucius, like Buddha,
was an atheist. He believed neither
in heaven nor in hell, but he did
believe tremendously in his fellow
men. He maintained that if man.
kind would only be governed justly
for a single century, all violence
would disappear from the earth.
He tried to turn the Chinese into
race of aristocrats; not a superior
race of intolerant snobs, but a civ
ilized race of courteous gentlemen.
He himself treated the prince and
the pauper with equal courtesy
the prince for the majesty Of his
rank, and the pauper for the no.
bility of his suffering.
He came many hundreds of years
before our Christ. The golden rule
of Confucius: "what you would not
have done to yourself, do not to
Others" five hundred years later,
became the golden rule of Christ
with the words slightly changed
but conveying the same meaning.
Today the books of COnfucius are
as popular in China as the Bible
is IN the West. COnfucius, like
