TO THE EDITOR:
THE USO is a wonderful place
to spend evenings writing let
tiers, playing games, dancing and
listening to radios. Some people
back home do not know what
these organizations are doing
for us.
Tonight I enjoyed a movie put
on by the USO in its library and
believe me it was swell. l also
attended stage show put on in
camp through the USO. l wish
you could have seen the faces
and the way the fellows ap-
piauded for the actors. These
are just a few of the things the
USO is doing for the service.
AS for the Red Cross, i just
had a furlough and went home
by train. This was my first con-
tact with the Red Cross. Al
almost every railroad station
the Red Cross has a setup where
service men waiting for trains
may have coffee, cake, pop, Gig
arets, magazines, lounge, radio.
Through the Red Cross we are
able TO get loans for emergency
Burroughs.
A lot of people don't know
what is being done for us. And
l hope people at homo will find
il in their hearts TO donate 10
this cause.

Bureaucracy Wrecks

Dear Editor:
Please allow space for a brief sy-
nopsis of our church work at Holly
Springs c M. E. Church with Rev.
M. J. Jones as pastor. Shortly after
Rev. Jones and his family moved to
this work, he saw the need of getting
the people of the rural interested to
the extent to measure up to a stand
ard of a station and this he has done.
A piano has been purchased and
paid for cash and choir has been or
ganized, along with other auxiliaries.
Several converts have been added.
The M. I. College choral group was
with US on the goth of March and
through this effort around $4,000 was
realized.
We are hoping to send our pastor
to the General Conference in Chicago
in May. Up-to-date, we have raised
raised around S550.00 on all claims.

Wanted!

We are now searching for a man,
woman or probably young girl who
wants to do something. One with a
reputation and character, one who
knows how to meet the public, to en-
ter into this new field. Since we do
not have a colored florist in the city,
we are going to have it, we need it,
we must have it. The time has come
that Negroes must do business for
themselves if they expect to be re-
cognized in the business world.
If you want to be a good Christian,
do something, l don't believe that
you can be real good Christian with
a empty belly, naked back and bare

Man has to agonize before he viii
moralize. This breeds no end Of
human woe. Although the last
world war was regarded as econom-
ic in its origin, a closer inspection
Of the underlying motives will re-
veal the race element so studiously
overlooked by our historians. The
nation of race superiority domin-
ates the thinking and planning OF
the German people. This notion is
deeply imbedded in the German
mind and motivates much Of his at
titude towards the present world.
Under the kaiser who lies dead in
Doom today, Germany arose to one
Of the most commanding positions
Of any modern nation. 1t grew res
tive under the world nominations of
Great Britain and the first world
war.
1t is true that the sta&es in the
war We're economic in many ways:
but underlying this drive for econ
omic advantage was the deeper no
ton that Germany's right to power
resided in its superior race. IN
other words, Nietzsch's superman
was German; and by reason of his
superiority should rule the earth.
Underlying the present war is
this same superior race complex
Hitler is expressing in a rabid wav
what was only family expressed bv
the Germans Of the first world war
It is going to take a lot of hum
an evolution to evolute out of tba
human mind the notion Of race sun
eriority. It is going to take a lot
more evolution to evolute out of

the human system the craving for
economic advantage. It Is such
things as these that make inevitable
the prediction that for centuries yet
to come the naions are going to be
afflicted by wars and rumors Of
wars. Jesus Christ went to the
heart OF the matter when he said
that mankind must have first of all
a change of heart before there can
be a change Of human fortunes
The peace we humans seek grows
out Of a peaceful and brotherly
heart. We are trying to have peace
without brotherliness and it simply
cannot be done. AS I said in my
Baptist World Alliance address in
Atlanta a few months ago. this
world must be brotherized or it will
be brutalized'. 1t canot be broth
erized so long as there is the notion
OF race superiority among the ma
tions of the earth.
1t is well that we understand that
behind all that itler is doing is th5
notion that the German race should
rule by reason Of its superiority.
What is more, our own country Is
facing a two ocean war. Our PROB
lem would be considerably simpli-
fled if we had Japan for an ally in
stead of enemy. But it is matter
Of record that only a few years ago
we Haunted into Japan's face the
dictum that darker peoples We're in
ferior and that she as one Of these
darker peoples was to be denied e.
quality under our immigration laws.

that she was inferior.
II is hard to see where Japan can
be blamed for forming an alliance
with Hitler II such alliance promis-
es more than our pretended friend
ship. 1t is one of the most appalI-
ing prospects that we are being
forced 70 defend ourselves against
a nation whose good win tolay
would mean perhaps the difference
between victory and defeat in a
war for national existence. But
our vaunted notions of race super
iority crucified one Of this nations
most vital opportunities.
If Hitler wins the battle Of the
Atlantic he will win it by reason of
our being too busy with Japan in

The greater tragedy of war based
upon an theology which has no
scientific standing. Let us not for
set the diagnosis while bewailing
the symptoms Of war. This is but
the beginning of sorrows that rae
