OF course, it was natural for
India to list her positions in this
erisi. as one of passive resistance
to any invading army, because
suck a policy represents the out
growth Of years of patience, for
titude and hope Of settlement of
the dispute between India and Bril-
tain by the mastefful ingenuity Of
Mahatma Gandhi. But, passive re
sistance, India, will only lead to
your total destruction at the hands
Of the Axis. So since you do not
now possess the required imple-
ments of war and the correspond
ing essential of thoroughly train
ed fighters, to provide you with
the essential offensive OF even de-
fensiye in this great struggle, it
seems altogether germane to your
welfare to reach some form of
military agreement with an UNI
derstood limited independence with
Britain,
The battle being waged by India,
is of itself a sincere battle and Ike
speaks the about effort long es-
tablished by the Negro in Amefi-
ca to win his freedom in this ma

which such a proposition demands

has too long been permitted to

INTERRACIAL HYPER TEN

SION
apprehension is a fancy name
for high blood pressure just as
delinquency is a fancy name for
old fashioned devilment, or pre-
varication is fancy name for
cid fashioned lying. Scientists
have q way Of giving new names
to ailments and disorders they
cannot correct; and the ordinary
laymen in his confusion's of names
is disposed to forget his afflic-
tions. momentarily at least. When
we cali our old fashioned "con-
sumption" tuberculosis, we are not
getting anywhere especially, ex-
cept increasing our vocabulary.
apprehension if not properly treat
ed will result sooner or later i'll
stroke and all that follows.
There can be no doubt that
there is a apprehension in race re-
lations today, which unless treat
ed with greatest care, is bound to
result fatally. After all Of otf
smooth talk about Christianity
and education as they hear on the
problem of race relations, the
fact remains we are entering a
dangerous phase Of the interra-
cial conflict. The outbreak OF
riots here land there about the
country is sympotomatic of an I'M
dercurrent of racial bitterness
that demands the most careful
thinking and planning on the part
of the best elements of both
whites and Negroes. 1t is not en-
ough for whites alone to guard
carefully against certain aggrava-
tons of the color question.
If we are to avoid serious
trouble. both whites and Negroes
must face the ugly fact that race
relations afG in state of hyper
tension and ruptsre; and that our
best is demanded If certain inn
portant previous gains are To be
preserved. Riots and rioting are
not gong to settle the race prob
lem in this country; and those
short sighted Negroes and whites
who would precipitate riots are
enemies Of the country we are
trying 10 save. Just as no great
moral issue has ever been settled
on the battlefield, so no victory
in race relations can be won by
out breaks Of rioting throughout
the nation. However resentful
the Negro may feel towards the
injustices and indignities to which
he has been subjected. it is just
las well that he know that these
are not to be corrected by riots.
This article is inspired by a
speech ] heard by a prominent
Negro make within recent weeks.
Before an audience Of nearly a
thousand this prominent man
stood for nearly an hour and de-
livered one Of the ablest speech
es we have ever heard. But from
beginning to end the speech was
one continuous rehearsal CT the
wrongs that the Negro had suf-
fered in this country. BY inuen
dos and direct charges he built up
one of the mightiest cases against
the white man that | have ever
heard. Subtly he was casting him
self in the role of hero, by merely
enumerating his races wrongs.
The audience Of course responded
with an enthusiasm that was con-
