EDUCATION FOR TOLERANCE

Mr. George A. Schuyler and the Association for Toll
we'll started their project of educating white
folk $50 that will be possible for coored people, here
and elsewhere to live in peace and security without being
Inundated appropriated, exploited and prosecuted by
white people the basis of mythical race The edu-
catonal campaign is conducted by advertisement cards
in street cars and buses. From Gary, Indiana where
the project initiated reports that results were
interesting and instructive. MANY passengers were
openly approving and several enthusiastic There
were few complaints from Ku Kux elements, but all IN
all the experiment proved that this sort of mass educa-
ton of white people be done locally and nationally
through existing media without difficulty.
1t seems that the greatest need of this sort of propa
ganda will be found in those communities committed to
the practice of color segregation There will be very
little need for where coored and whites attend the
same schools play and work together.

Would Project" Italy

This nation has no destiny in
suppression religious freedom in
the Armed Forces. To those who
who contend Chaplain Fuller'S
case is not based on religious
freedom, the answer is that
truth is a vital part of Christi
anity and Chaplain Fuller's
greatest crim2 was that he told
the truth. There is much irony
in this situation when we con-
slider the national issue now be-
ing made regarding Americas
relations with Russia. The So
Wet is being branded as "anti-
Christian" This week the
Massachusetts knights of Co.
lumbuS in a meeting at the Cop
ley Plaza adopted serious reso-
lutionS to assure our former
enemy, Italy, OF having a gooo
American Christian administra-
ton. We are, in short, making
great plans of making "other
folks" religious when we've got
plenty of Christianizing to do
right here at home. Chaplain
Fuller told the truth. The only
issue now is whether we at
home are willing to accept the
truth. If we can't ACCEPT it
here, we certainly can't TEACH
it in other countries! Nor is the
menace to the Christian Church
entirely restricted to the much
discussed conmunistic theology.
We have no place in our
Constitution for ANY form of
religious or racial intolerance in
America.

BLOOD DONATION

The following statement on blood segregation APP
pears in the September issue of Dget of Treatment
magazine which cculates chiefly among members OF the
medical profession:
Zone wonders if the most rabidy white conscious
mother would rather see her boy die in the far off Sol
onions or Africa than him saved by the blood OF
colored donor
"The colored boy is fighting the common enemy
with the same enthusiasm his white comrade In the
defense of democracy. We are one people IN the
United States-of all colors, of every possible nation
al extraction and of all the known faiths, but unted
by common ideal, by supreme faith in democratic
institutions It is shameful that, like the Hlterltes
some of US should feel that the blood of coored man
or of any other healthy individual would polute u.s.
Let us really practice what preach-the brother
hood of man."
The Red Cross snotnamed; nevertheless, the Stace-
nen is sharp rebuke to that organization for It's blood
segregation practice In general the medical PROFESSION
has accepted the conclusion of scence mat the ooou
pasma is identical in all peoples The refusal OF the
Red Cross to back down from it's anscientifc attitude
seems therefore to be a case of plain stubborness

Given Wrong Commanders

The current commander of the
3S2nd Fighter Group in Michi-
gan is Colonel Selway, West
Pointer and pilot of II years
experience who is said to be
quite alright with the men and
who has publicly announced his
intention to make the Colored
unit one that all will be proud
of. Colonel Selway succeeded
1t. Colonel Westbrooks, which
means that the 332nd has had
three commanders inside of a
year, none of them Colored.
Testimony at the trial last
week claimed that Colonel Cole
man was addicted to drinking
scotch by the quart and that he
was a dangerous man to have a
gun when in that condition.
Yet he was assigned to COM
mand Colored pilots as if their
life was of no consequence at
all. This is the same gross in
difference land crime( that
places Colored troops under the
command of arrogant, lynch
law, race-hating individuals
that plague the life and liberty
of Colored troops in other areas.
These are the things Chaplain
Luther M. Fuller has been
preaching against.

that his record on the Anti
Poll tax was well known, Ed
ward Cooper of the Boston Ur-
ban League and Richard Ed
sci of the Cambridge branch,
Greater Boston Anti-Poll Tax
Committee, made brief pointed
remarks largely of apprecia-
ton.
The spokesman for the meet
ing, Atty Banks, here brought
out the deplorable conditions
Of the colored soldiers sent
South from the North and de-
clared that these soldiers are
worse than slaves because they
could not escape through the
underground railroad as in
slavery days. He pointed out
that last month one colored
soldier by his actions said in
effect, "Give me liberty or I'll
choose death" and put this in.
to immet slate action by taking
his own life rather than go
back down South, If it were
the Army's object to get the
soldier far > away from home
for his basic training, they
should send them West instead
of South.
Banks said he understood
also that there were no colored
colored women in the Waves
the SparS or in the Auxiliary to
the Marines. Senator Walsh
denied this but on being asked
for proof stated he was refer
ring to the Wacs. Then the at
torney produced a signed, pho
tostatic copy of a letter dated
March II, 1913 where the Navy
personnel stated they had no
room for colored nurses al
though they thanked the col
ored applicant for the offer of
her services. The Senator took
a copy Of this letter.
This delegation was most
aggressive and wanted more
than mere sympathy from the
senior Senator from Massachu-
sets. It demanded that Sena-
tor Walsh use his vast infiu-
ence to cary out the ideas ex-
pressed by his constituents.
Other prominent representa-
tives present included Rev
Samuel L Laviscount, Edna
Black, President of the E B
Associates, Linda Morgan, or
