The Clandestine Radio Atlantic said last night that Adolf Hitler had suggested to Pope Plus that the church excommunicate "every nilot of Catholic faith who raids Cathol- ic churches or other buildings sa- cred to Catholics"
 "AS most American pilots are Catholics" the letter was quoted as saying, "this measure would have the effect of preventing the bomb- ing of Catholic churches in the fu- ture by American flyers"

LEMMA 1tHarper and Brothers;
New York City; 1914. 2 vol, $3.50
the author devotes a chapter to dis
cussing possibilities for the future
of Americas race problem. The
trend before the war was toward
equality especially in the North:
I'VE have become convinced In the
course of this inquiry that the
North is getting prepared for
fundamental redefinition OF the Ne
gro's status in America" The South
is, OF course, a different matter but
even there the strength of liberal
opinion is growing. There Will,
however, be a growing tension be-
tween North and South which Will
not be restricted 10 the Negro
issue
There is an interesting discussion
of the international aspects OF the
Negro problem. The confidence Of
the colored peoples Of the world is
necessary for Il lasting peace, the
author points out Americans are
agreed on the necessity for interna-
t!onal agencies to guarantee the
development OF democratic life in
every nation. But DR.. Myrdal states
further: II have, for instance, met
few white Americans who have
ever thought Of the fact that, IL
America had joined the League OF
Nations American Negroes could,
and certainly would, have taken
their cases before international tri-
bunal back in the 'twenties." Amer
ica must face this problem and it is
too late TO turn back TO isolation.
There is a great mass Of material
in this study which have not
touched on in the review last week
and this. There are chapters on
the Negro Press, Negro education,
Negro organizations. the Negro class
structure. Negro protest, etc, which
are all woven into a unified whole.
The second volume Of the study
contains extensive appendices and
the author has divided his foot
notes in such way that only those
which are Of interest to the general
reader are included with the text
Those which are OF especial interest
to the scholars are included in an

ON THE WAY

The two-day conference of the Intercultural
Council of Southeastern Michigan which held its
sessions all over the landscape last week in Detroit
was the latest and perhaps most encouraging OF an
ever growing number of community moves designed
to improve the relationships between the races in
our busting city. The fortnight discussion of
troversial issues can of itself contribute greatly to
mutual understanding and goodwill. Unfortunately,
however, democratic attitudes do not come naturally
to our citizens who are constantly exposed to the
rigors of racism and such conferences can only be
regarded as preliminary steps toward real program
of democratic action
We were struck by the views of one of the many
important conference speakers, Lester Granger, who
stated fatty that we do not need any more studies
any more committees on this nterracial business
What we need to do today, he insisted, is to apply
in our community behavior the truths that we al
ready know and for each individual to do his job in
the work-a-day life of the community. Further, he
warned that we must seek to do more than to stop
race riots or simply prevent outbreaks. The true
democratic task in Mr.. Changers opinion calls for
total rejection of preudices all levels in order to
make impossible the conditions from which hatred
and resentment spring which in turn lead to violent
conflicts.
Most of the speakers stressed the magnitude Of
the problem of creating harmony between our diff
ferent racial and cultural groups but only few
dwelt at length on the crucial necessity for doing
something concrete about this problem here and
now. We Negroes may be pardoned for being i'm
patient with those long-vew speakers, who invar-
ably overlook the obvious because after ALL it is our
feet that being crushed in this parade of demo-
cratic progress Pretty phrases about the prospects
of future relief from our pains afford small imme-
date comfort, especially when we reflect that the
pretty speech is often made by the same guy who is
inflicting the pain.
Nevertheless no matter how cynical some of
us may be inclined to be, it must be admitted that
broad conferences at which all groups are we'll repre-
sented can give important impetus to the propaga-
ton of those truths which must prevail before our
group can freely exercise their democratic rights
and privileges.

RANDOM THOUGHTS

hhNDOM lnOIOHlS
A very encouraging thing in our
group is the number Of young peo-
pie who really desire TO do some
thing worthwhile. You may think
youth is thinking OF nothing but
good time, but / meet at every
turn OF the road young people who
who want to do something useful
with their lives. OF course, there are
the don't cares, the good-timers
and the parasites. We have them
in common with other races. But
we also have enough young men
and women who have caught the
vision Of progress and independ-
ence: who can see the necessity
and beauty of service TO their race,
10 encourage us and lead us to
believe that the future Of the Negro
is safe.
The purpose of tolerance Is to
afford the opportunity for the es-
adjustment of ones claim. IL this
opportunity for understanding or
for the proving OF ones case is not
taken advantage OF and used, then
tolerance has missed its objective,
il has been in vain. When we plead
for tolerance we are pleading for
sufferance and patience; we are
asking people 10 bear with, TO en-
dure that which they do not like.
understand and appreciate until we
can effect basis Of understanding
and appreciation. When people,
therefore, have been convinced that
in justice and fairness they should
be tolerant; that they should be pa
tent, then the real task begins
the task OF proving our claims.

daily press AS matter of fact the crime is greater
when committed by the daily press with its multi
million circulation because its influence is so many
times more powerful. We believe it is the demo-
cratic and moral duty of Negro publishers to seek to
improve the character of their news practices and
that duty falls just as heavily if not more heavily
upon the shoulders of white publishers. Since We
have been warned so often that people in glass
houses should not throw stones we hope that we
will not be Judged too harshly for throwing this
