James M. Stewart,
Grand Trav. Deputy
COnfers, Local EIks

James M. Stewart, grand trav-
cling deputy, director of educa-
ton and past exalted ruler of
Golden West Lodge No. Sc, Los
Angeles, Calf, was a visitor in
Seattle last week.
The grand officer met with the
local lodge Elks Monday night,
September 6.
Being Director of Education,
Stewart confined the greater por-
ton of his conference to that
field. He stated that the Elks had
spent more than 100000 for ed
ucational purposes. That the Pa
cific coast is now being merged
in the 9TH Regional District which
will permit oratorical contestants
an opportunity to win a $1,000
scholarship without having to
travel to any region beyond the
Pacific Coast.
The G. T. ID. was scheduled to
leave Seattle for Portland, Ore
gon, Tuesday for a conference
with Billy Webb Lodge Elks. His
inability to secure reservations
forces him to return direct to his
home in Los Angeles, Calf. His
visiting tour has covered a per-
iod of three months.

new SUPERIOR
AT FRIENDSHIP

"A change in superiors has
been announced for the Friend
ship Housef Or Negroes, social
and religious house for Catholic
Negroes at 141 22nd Ave. NJ, by
the Sisters of Providence, who es-
tablished it three years ago.
SISTER Ignatius of Jesus came
from Vancouver. Wash, where
she has been teaching, to be SUI
perior, taking the place of Sister
Bernard, who has gone to a
school near Yakima"
Race citizens of the East Madi-
son District, feeling the above ar
ticle was inspired by Catholic Of
ficials, viewed it as an attempt at
isolation and segregation of pa
irons of Friendship House. A
committee headed by Mr.. ]. A.
(Jack) Johnson in an interview
with His Grace Bishop Shaunessy
asked it's truth and incidentally
the return of Sister Bernard of
Jesus to Friendship House. A pc
tition from several hundred pray
ing the return of Sr. Bernard was
handed to the Bishop.
Bishop Shaunessy assured the
committee that no secular papers
voiced any orders eminating from
the Catholic church; that he
knew nothing of it; that any at
tempt to segregate or discrimin
ate in matters pertaining to thu
church would meet his disapprov
al; that he was particular,
pleased with the kindly feeling
toward Sr. Bernard and her gooC
work.
The bishop stated that in du,
time all matters would be WORKED
out satisfactorily to the churcl
and all concerned.

WASHINGTON DAILY FLAYS ARMY
OVER WAY NEGRO SOLDIERS ARE
MISTREATED in MANY SECTIONS

can scarcely be expected to give
full devotion to the democratic
cause unless it affords some rec
ognition of their legitimate aspir-
atoms.
ANY such program of educa-
ton obviously must be accompan-
led by firm insistence on the
part of the army that Negro
rights be respected by men in
uniform and civilian alike. There
are many ways In which any in
telligent camp commander can act
to erase the causes of friction be-
tween white and colored troops.
He can see to it, if Negroes
are segregated. that adequate re-
irrational facilities are available
to them, not only inside the
camp but also in the community
near which the camp is located.
He can act to secure reasonable
transportation service for his col
ored soldiers in places where Jim
crow traditions prevail. And,
above all, he can insist that civil
ians show respect to the uniform
his men wear, whatever the color
of their skins. Officers should not
be placed in command of Negro
troops unless they have sym
patty for them and a willingness
to safeguard their rights.
at is not part of the army's
business, to be sure, to remedy
all the defects of American life.
But is a part of the admys bust
ness to set an example of devo-
ton to democratic principles. And
it is high time now for the army
to do this in regard to its Negro

RACISM MUST
BE BANISHED
PRIEST SAYS

New York, Sept. 8. - Urging
Catholics to lead in educational
and practical work to eliminate
racial intolerance, the Rev. DR..
John LaFarge, S. j.. executive
editor of America and spiritual
director of the Catholic Interra-
cial Council, writes on the
Causes of Race Riots" in an ar
ticle in the Interracial Review.
The problem, he writes. is prim-
arily a moral problem in which
every citizen shares responsible
ity.
"a citizen" Father LaFarge
says. "of whateevr color he may
be who is deprived of employ
ment suited to his ability, of
proper housing, of educational
and vocational opportunity, is by
that very fact hindered from per-
forming his prime duty as
member Or head of a family. He
is prevented from being good
American and good citizen"
Father LaFarge observes that
race prejudice is really a manifes-
tation of false doctrine as to
the very nature of man" doc
trine treated by the Church as
heresy.
''The Negro world in the Uni
ted States" he observes, ''in COM
mon with very large world of
colored people outside the United
States, is acutely conscious of
the kinship of American Racism
and the Racist doctrine of Hitler.
Any literate Negro can easily see
for himself that the doctrine
which is used to justify the per-
scution of Jews and the Poles in
Europe is the same as that which
is used here at home to justify
injustice or violence against his
own racial group
The problem is national in
scope, Father LaFarge concludes.
and must be dealt with by a ma
tional policy of interracial injus-
tice and amity. The problem is
soluble, contrary to much that is
asserted, he observes, 1.-THE col
ored man and the white man can
work together in peace and har-
mon where reasonable measures
are taken to encourage such
peaceful cooperation" While
urging aCtholics to lead, Father
LaFarge points out that the dis
solving racial tensions will re-
quire "the joint action and the
joint policy of men of different
beliefs and of all groups.

WASHINGTON. - In a forth
right editorial statement, the

tai daily, last week charged that
the humiliation" and violence"
visited against Negro soldiers by
both white soldiers and civilians,
and the eonsigning of colored
troopers to an inferior status"
Is zone more manifestation of
dangerous disregard of demo-
cratic values which has been car

Declaring it the inescapable
duty to the army to promote
