point.
"a century ago it was the fashion of head
measurers and anthropologists in Europe to cling
to the theory Of the master race with list of de-

the coors of their skin. And almost without excep-
ton the particular anthropoogist found that the
master race happened to be his own.
This is list of few anthropoogists, unques-

apart piece by piece and laid it forever, like witch

RISING REACTION

Profound students of the contemporary scene
oro ronort;np that all over America the reactonary
shirt is rising and the liberals are being put on the
defensive They cite the developments IN washington
where Wallace and Welles have had to give ground
to archconservatives who are suspicious OF designs
for new world. They cite results OF the Gallup poll
and countless surveys which seem to indicate that
the people are slipping back to those views whis1'
will enable the old guard to ride into power and give
America another Harding era. We wish to submit
our bit of evidence which is apparent here IN De-
troit where political campaign has MT an al Iiihe
low in this history Of Michigan.
In the final analysis the fight between Mayor
Jeffries and Mr.. Fitzgerald is fight between the
vested interests and the people. Mr.. Jeffries has
succumbed to the false lures of privileged power
which his father fought all of his life and won
Backed bv the Detroit News which apparently is will
ing to commit hara kiri rather than have repre-
sentative of the common people elected Mr. Jeftres
is playng the role of tin god. He is mounting the
popular prejudices and dstortng truth in order to
brighten the people and win support for another
term as Mayor of this great city,
Never in the history of this city have the people
been exhorted so brazeny to follow the dictates OF
their preiudices and passions This is an alarming
SYMPTOM for Detroit and for America. II by such
fascist practices Mayor Jeffres is able to slip PACK
into office liberal Detroit knows that the battle Tor
democracy on the home front will suffer great
blow. The race issue is being exploited by Mayor
.Jeffries to hide the true issues in this campaign
This is dangerous business and positive threat to
our democracy 1t is essential that the white cltl-
zens of Detroit recognize these facts and bestr them
selves to nip this reaction in the bud on November
End. Mr.. Jeffries is demonstrating that ne Is not
only an enemy of the Negro people but also an enemy
of the common man regardless Of his race None
of us must permit reaction to rule today

A GREAT LOSS

Today our community mourns the loss OF Wilbur
Woodson, a kindly and generous soul, who had dedl-
Gated his life to the development of youth within the
framework of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion While his passing would be grievous loss at
any time to this community, his death in this day OF
unusual crisis when Detroit needs him most becomes
a great tragedy. For many years Mr. Woodson was
a spiritual godfather of our boys, many OF whom
will long remember the nobility of his character and
his abiding interest in their welfare.
The good work of Mr.. Woodson transcribed the
duties of his office as executive secretary OF ST.
AIftoinesY MC.A He was an apostle OF jnter-racial
goodwill and leader in every movement among the
people which had as its purpose the enrichment OF
our community life. Despite the structures imposed
upon him by the obligations of his office he dared to
welcome new ideas and act upon his convictions HIS
limitations were in great measure the limitations
of his organization, and one wished more earnest
" than he that the day should soon come when the
Young Mems Christian Association of Detroit would
truly merit the title young and Christian.
The Michigan Chronicle joins with the thousands
of citizens of both races in Detroit in paying tribute
to this noble spirit whose influence will be felt for
many years to come and whose life will remain one
of the bright pages in the history of our time.
