WORLD PEACE
FORUM theme
Colonial and Dependent
People Also Discussed
By DR.. Snavely

AZ the 'spillars OF Peace meet
ifig IN First Methodist Church last
evening, the subject was Colonial
and Dependent Peoples and World
Peace" The opening address was
made by Rev. DIR. John ], Snavely,
and he was followed by o panel dis
cussion led by Roy A. Ferris and
Mrs. John w. Potter. A friendship
hour followed, during which light
refreshments were served.
Or. Sanvely said in part that there
are two moral and christian prin-
copies TO be observed In endeavor-
ing the solve the colonial problem
The first is that the administration
Of colonial affairs must be primarily
In the interests OF the colonial people
themselves. In times past colonial
possessions have been q field Of ex-
ploitation for their poSsessors: or a
I base for strategic operations q people
for prestige. But these arguments
will not meet the moral demands OF
men Of our time.
Colonial peoples must not be mere
pawns to be shifted around in the
game Of international politics; nor
can their territory be regarded as a
mere base for future operations of
the possessing power. Only the vel
fare OF thre people can justify these
possessions.
Probably that welfare can best be
served by self government. This war
is being fought in the name Of free
dom for all peoples. Winston Chur-
chill has said that the Atlantic
Charter applied only to Europe.
Franklin D. Roosevelt has said 1t
applies throughout the world.
The question is important because
OF the racial inducements. It Is the
colored races that constitute the
colonies, and over half the people
Of the world belong to those races.
Pearl Buck has warned that 1.-The
deep patience of the colored races is
at an end" and his said they are
determined to get the same free
dom for themselves that the white
race has won for itself.
There are those who tell us that
we face an uglier and more terrible
war In the not distant future II this
problem is not solved with right and
with generosity.
The most constructive proposals
seem to be such as these:
Let self government be given
wherever q people are ready to as
sumo its responsibilities.
Let every help and encouragement
toward self government be given to
these peoples who are not yet ready
to assume It's responsibilities.
Let international, rather than ma
tional, responsibility be given for
the Joint administration Of those
colonial possessions and dependent
countries for which self government
is farther In the future.
Let the goal toward which all
administration moves be that Of self

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 2o-John
Moses, program director of radio
station WHKC here, said yesterday
portions of prepared broadcast by
Richard T. Frankensteen, vice presi-
dent Of the CIO United Automobile
Workers, were deleted to conform
with the code of the National Asso-
ciation OF Broadcasters and not the
Smith-Connally Antistrike Act, as
Mr.. Frankensteen asserted.
The union official said in Wash
ington he had protested to the Fed
eral Communications Commission
the stations action in eliminating
all references to an Ohio congress
sional delegation from his August 8
address.
Mr.. Moses statement on the sit
uation said:
"WHKC's refusal to broadcast
certain portions of Mr.. Franken-
steen's speech was based not on the
provisions of the Smith -Connally
law, but rather on the code of the
National Association of Broadcast
ers. The portions which we deleted
were those which we deemed contro-
versial under this code and, as such,
cannot be included in a commercial
broadcast. Thus, WHKC was not act
ing as an individual, but rather as
a unit of national organization
subscribing to policies standardized
