THE WAY TO WIN THE PEACE

With the first flush of good from the battleronts

high aruisc motives and those who trying to "get

First of ALL we must adopt realistic point of view
Human nature is human nature and those who will get
what they want at the peace table will be those who
best organized who know what they want and who
express their wishes.
BUT-one thing must not be overlooked. Once the
war is there will be revulson against pressure

against which there is serious pref
udice. Both groups have been
pointed to as Scapegoats. Both
groups have been unjustly treated,
although differently, over a long pc
Rod of time, and in important
ways. Accordingly, it would seem
that Nazi attempts to fan into flame
this particular spark of ill-will are
rot likely to succeed in the long
run. For both Negroes and Jews as
individuals are too intelligent to fall
for so obvious game
For the immediate present, how
ever, there is constant need for ex-
posing the Nazi trickery and for
reiterating the fact that problems
should be handled on both Sides. in
a calm, rational way War should
not be made the excuse for calling
a moratorium on all domestic re-
forms. But on the other hand we
must all somehow be brought to
the realization that this is no time
for high emotion on any subject
save the preservation of democracy
as at least an ideal of human re-
lationships, No sane man believes
that perfect democracy has yet
appeared in America But, in the
realization that only a victory of
the United Nations can make possi-
BILE better future for all groups
we must unitedly work for the de-
feat of those tyrannicaI forces loose
IN the world TODAY which would
bring to all mankind a slavery
more oppressive. more vicious,
more complete than any slavery in
the long centuries of human histo-
ry.

Lies an attack, a psychological at
tack, directed at every man, woman
and child in our land.
This psychological attack, in the
form of propaganda, is calculated
to do many things in the direction
of weakening our will to win. But
its main objective is to sow the
seeds of discord in our midst, to
stir up confusion, plant doubts in
our minds, and set group against
group, race against race class
against class, religion against relig-
ion. Get them fighting among
themselves is Herr Goebbels poll
cy at the present time with respect
to America. For the Nazis know
well that a divided nation is a
weakened nation; that a false issue
to distract the attention of the AM
erican people is worn a good many
army divisions in the field; and
that America, with its population
drawn from every race and nation
atty in the world, offers ideal con-
ditions for the saboteur of national
unity.
The policy Of divide and con.
quer" is not new in history. But
it is safe to say that never before
have circumstances so favored its
use, or the attack along these lines
been so diabolically conceived al
today.
There is no need here to describe
this propaganda strategy of the
Nazis in all its details. Whole books
have been written on the subject

however, is the specific impact 0.
