WAR IN THE Bud

THE TIDE OR WAR seems gradually turning in IA
vor OF the united nations. Although this is true.
there~is little or no ground for jubilaon. for the
prospects of losing the peace are becoming more
and mode omnous The home attack on THE Ne
gro fills students OF the race question With profound
concern We know how the emissaries sat al the
peace conference in Versailles and lost promising
peace there is an equally dangerous threat that
there will be a repetition OF this terrible tragedy. II
the spirit that Is surging through our war Efforts
prevails at the coming peace table, the peace is lost
already.
The almost complete collapse Of the FEPC holds
dangerous porents for the future. II is sad COM
mentary on the spirit OF nation that has been
from catastrophe by sheer luck. II nation is not
willing to play fair in the shadow OF disaster while
tho blood OF her is flowing in fearful food then
its case seems hopeless. The nation that cannot
thus rise apportune occasion is doomed 10
learn the hard way. the way OF bloodshed. The
question that faces the democraces today is how
many wars will II take to purge their souls unto jus
tice for all OF their citizens?
Pearl Buck was right when she said that The war
for democracy was overmeaning. OF course that the
democratic nations had ceased 10 fight for democ
racy and are now fighting for white supremacy and
mperialistic detectives. The extent 10 which this
is true Is the extent OF the repetition OF this war
bloodicr scale. Just how many wars will II take
TO purge our nation? Can our nation really stand
the wars II will take to purge itself OF race preiu-
than accord 10 its Negro citizens their Godgiven
rights? Will this country commit itself TO kind
OF moral sclatonism that will bereave 1t OF the
larger spirit OF brotherhood that Is everywhere
struggling for deliverance? Will the democracies
suffer themselves TO become islands OF brutality In
a surging sea Of brotherhood?
This article is inspired by the soft pedal order
OF McNutt and by the recent resignation of Judge
HASTE. The country no less than the Negro race
owes Judge HASTE deep debt OF gratitude for
dramatizing despicable conditions by his resigna-
ron In this way he rendered his country and his
people a service he never could have rendered by
remaining in office merely as decoration OF hypoc-
rsy OF course. cannot. as some are inclined TO
do, blame everything Roosevelt. The man is
trying hard and that he has dared much with
such recalcitrants is marvellous The Roosevelts
have the spirit but they hamstrung with a con-
stituency that seems bent on destroying the peace
ere II comes 10 fruition.
