Liberty loving Americans, who

the side of the Spanish republicans,
in many instances found their way

Says Race Feels
Special KnlsE1ip
To The Russians
Lester Granger
Endorses Drive
For War Funds

NEW YORK CITY-(S N 81
Negroes in this country feel q
special kinship with the brave
Russian people, not only because
the Russians record of physical
and emotional suffering during the
centuries matches that of the
American Negroes, but also because
the Soviet Union has succeeded IN
stamping out racial prejudice from
its national life
Thus spoke Lester B. Granger,
executive secretary Of the National
Urban League, this week when he
endorsed the National War Funds
coming drive as it relates to the
Russian War Relief, Inc.
The Russian War Relief, with
IS other service and relief agencies,
will share in the funds collected
during the National War Fund
campaign to be launched on a
national scale in conjunction with
united community campaigns in
october and November. Funds col
lected during this national cam
paign will provide aide for millions
of Russian civilians who have lost
all their worldly belongings. They
need food, seed, medical supplies
and clothing.
Among the agencies which mer-
ged to form the National War Fund
in order to conserve time and cut
down overhead expenses are a
number in which Negroes have a
direct and vital interest and from
which they reap great benefits,
namely: the USO, through which
hundreds of thousands of Negro
servicenen are entertained and
made comfortable; the United Sea-
mems Service, which serves over
$1,000 Negro merchant seamen: and
the French and Belgian Relief So
cieties, whose funds are spent on
millions of Negro French and Bel
gian subjects in Africa, supplying
them with clothing, disqualification,
medical and other equipment.

cussing the post venereal disease

HE'S THRILLED

That something" meant using a
good portion of his leave to visit
relatives and friends of some forty
comrades. Those forty visits were
scattered. over New York. New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania and the District
Of Columbia. But Sergeant Egerton
believes they were worth every bit
of the time they required.

said. Il guess it was next best to

A member of the only colered

proud of the record his group
is making, particularly in regard to
the venereal dicease control pro-

of this year, the men of this CAAA

HULL CALLS NAMES
| This is the kind of world, dedi-
Gated to universal justice, that
Sumner Welles would have America
build. 1t is NOT the kind of world
that Cordell Hull favors. Tt is one
that Mr.. Hull will never be able to
understand. To our secretary of
state in his own words proponents
of a world of freedom for all peo-
pies are "Hosanna hoys" and star
gazers."
Any observer examining Mr..
HuIl's laundering appeasement
program would be tempted to
charge that he, not MIR. Welies,
is the "star-gazer." In failing,
because of innate racial and po-
litical prejudice, to face realis-

clared DR.. F. o. Matthiesson, Har-
ward professor Of history and lit
erature and nationally known lib
eral and literary critic, Tuesday
night in reference to the attitude
Americans must take towards the
race riots flaring up in this country
Matthiessen asked the audience,
.'Are we liberals; are we for racial
equality IN American" In 1886, peo-
pie were thinking in terms Of pro-
gressive reform, while now we
have lost sight of those ideals due
to the complications brought by

The occasion of his blast at the
American social problem was an
address entitled Liberalism in
American History" the second OF
a series of lectures concerning
Liberalism in a World at War"
presented weekly at Harvard at the
Lowell House Junior Common
room.
The term liberalism" has a
loose and slippery meaning and
may often be confused because of
it's varied use in reference to reh-
gious, social, political, and philo-
sophical topics, explained Prof.
Matthiessen. AS an example, he
stated, "since the 1882 election,
everyone calls himself liberal but
obviously they are not at all liberal
in one sense" He made it consis-
tently clear to the capacity audi
ence that racial equality is the
only basis for any world freedom.
