SOCIAL UNITY

As there are many white PEG
pie from the South who have
come here to take advantage OF
the high wages in the defense in
dustries, and do not understand
the freedom given the colored
people here in the northwest, it
is not untimely to sound a warn
ing not against any clashes be-
tween the two races.
1t is hoped that the colored
people will carry themselves with
dignity and reserve, and not let
themselves get entangled in any
misunderstanding with these
Southerners. This is a testing
time for both classes. The colored
people are rising rapidly on the
social and economic scale, and
must not do anything to cause
any prejudice or antagonism that
might hinder their advancement.
This is the age to promote the
Oneness of Humanity" and the
Unity of the Sons of Men.
Baha'u'llah, the Universal Prop
het for this age spent forty years
in prison to bring about this ideal
condition in the world; a New
World Order, based on the Bro
therhood of Man to free man
from the prison of Self"
Everyone should spend more
time gaining knowledge and re-
finement, that all may enjoy the
cultural things given us in THU
life if we really take advantage
of them, that we may exchange
thoughts and ideas with eact
other. Such social intercourse
helps feed the soul and give:
true and lasting happiness.

INTERRACIAL
COOPERATION

The failure of President Roose-
veltto raise his powerful voice to
halt the violent racial outbursts
in Detroit, Mobile. Beaumont, and
other cities leaves him conspic-
uous figure at the peace table -
a shining example of democracy
hypocrisy.
Negro leaders all over the
country are making a demonstra-
ton of solidarity which calls for
continuous and effective inter-
racial cooperation.
These racial disturbances have
created sense of bewilderment
among all decent Americans,
white and black. Influential
whites are dazed and much con-
cerned. What to do, where to go
for the most effective means that
it will not happen here.
Seattle like many other indus
trial centers. cannot look on
these scenes with any degree of
complacency. What has happened
in Detroit and Beaumont can
happen here over night.
Already initiated here is a
movement to head off such out
bursts. Such a movement should
be broad enough to embrace q
full share of leading Negroes and
whites. Public authorities should
be called on to aid in formulate
ing plans before, not after.
There are many whites WHIT
would go farther than Negroes
themselves in protecting theil
rights. On the other hand, le
us prepare the way. By sanity
remove any explosives in the
good will highway.
While we sometimes wonder
how any Negro can be called
radical - yet the manner of ap-
proach to attain. our consumatior
is intellectual. Confronted by
facts and truth the American
white man is fair.
Mass pressure has too often
proved a failure. We have seen
it applied here. At best it has
proved a temporary pacifyer. II
is then carefully laid away for
another mass pressure.
This is an interracial job -
Seattle is too busy helping to
win the war and could not appre-
ciate a racial outburst. Certainly
Negroes would not. The NAACP
with an assured membership OF
1000 is the logical force to lead
Negroes into any interracial
movement. If its representatives
possess sanity and wisdom the
dam will not be spiked.
We firmly believe by continued
interracial cooperation, these ra-
cial disturbances will cease.
Keep up the fight.
Not with arms but by intelli-
gence and wise judgment.
Ii you must go armed = arm
yourself with the American flag.
Ii danger approaches drape it
about you.
In an outbreak some fool may
shoot it off of you. That bullet
would pierce the heart of every
loyal American.
The American flag which you
have never smeared should offer
you some protection.

him one of mine. The horse thief,
upon receiving the kit, looked in

BY JOE STATION

Winnie Ingram, former Seattle
girl, has sent the column a very
good writeup on how to help
newcomers become a welcome ad
dition to our community.
Dear Joe:
We should make a real effort
to contact, become acquainted
with and educate newcomers to
our way of living. This means
community action thru everyday
neighborliness to more formal
ways such as block meetings.
class lectures, etc.
The Y. w. G. A.. Y. M. c. A.
and Urban League can and should
find out where these people are
located; when they arrive they
should be met with helpful in
struction on conduct and practi-
cal help in finding homes and as
sociahons in churches, lodges,
clubs and other public recreation
programs.
This idea is by no means origi-
nal. 1t has been tried by the
groups | named in other towns
faced with the same problem.
When l come home again, l
don't want to find CRASHES yards
and parking strips, delapidated
houses and coal in the street.
Keep it the same or better than
we who are in exile remember.
It's one of the most beautiful
memories we have.
Sincerely Wini.
Well, what are we going to do
about it?
One ham head who takes care
of Negro problems in the Navy
Yard is leaving his post. A guy
still worse is trying to get his
job. This numbskull is hated by
his fellow southerners, who say
hes mo good" He, they say,
goes around telling merchants to
take down their signs about
white trade only and he'll see to
it that Negroes stay out. Also the
hated one has told them to say,
Yes sir, when addressed by white
people because If they don't
they'll be beaten up when they go
back south - by the same whites
they worked with up here.
