A. N. E. Bishop
Visits War Fronts

WASHINGTON-BiShop John
A. Gregg of the -ANdE church
is on a tour OF Pacific war
fronts to visit colored troops
of the U. S. Army.
He is accompanied by Chap
lain (Major) John A. DeVeaux,
also of the AME church, the
Army's senior colored chaplain,
whose regular assignment is
with the 83rd Infantry Division.
Bishop Gregg's request for
authorization of the trip was
made to the President, who re-
ferred it to the War Depart
ment, noting his approval pro-
vided the necessary arrange
ments could be made. Asked by
his own church to go overseas
with a message for fighting
men on various fronts, Bishop
Gregg was later invited by the
Fraternal Council of colored
Churches to be its representa-
tive.

One World Policy

The above quotation is from
chapter Ten of Wendell L. Will
kies remarkable new book,
One World" now available in
Hub book stores and libraries.
This book is a must" for every
student of international affairs.
1t is one of the best Post War
International, not to mention
iner-racial plans yet submitted.
It hits at imperialiStic eXploita-
ton of Colored peoples and de-
mands equal rights. Britain's
Mr. Churchill and our own i'm
peralistic sympathizers have
tried to hush-hush brother Will
ktc on this point. 1t may cost
Mr., Wilkie his very political flu
turc He doesn't seem to care.
He writes these words:
The attitude of the white
citizens of this country toward
colored people has undeniably
had some of the unlovely char
aCteristics of an alien imperial
ism-a SNUG racial superiority,
a Willingness to exploit an UNI
protected people
Mr.. Wilkie speaks up for the
Jews, for the people of India,
for the Chinese and peoples
everywhere. In so doing he
would be an excellent presiden-
tjal candidate for the Republi-
can Party, Actually there are
forces which seek to keep him
on the Side-lines entirely.
Certainly not the least of the
anti-Wilkie forces is the in
creaSing facist-imperialistic bloc
which thrives on the exploita-
ton of mankind.
