Southern Born
Methodist Bishop
Scores Supremacy

Theories and ideas of racial SUI
periority were scored by Bishop
William B. C. Martin of Omaha,
Neb., in an address at the youth
banquet in the Central Park Meth
odist Church, Wednesday. Speak
ing before more than two hundred
young people and ministers this
Southern born bishop of the largest
Protestant group in America was
outspoken in his denunciation of the
spurious theories of white or Nordic
superiority.
No Superior Race
"There is absolutely no real basis
for the assumption that we are
superior race it isn't true from
the findings of the anthropologists;
neither is it true from an intellec-
tual or spiritual point of view &.
whatever gave US the idea that we
are superior" :. the bishop asked
of his audience composed of repre-
sentatives from scores of Methodist
churches in the Minnesota Confer
ence, who were in attendance at the
st. Paul meeting of the Bishops
Crusade for World Order.
Bishop Martin told his audience
that we need not point the finger
of scorn at certain man in Europe
for his ideas of racial superiority,
because we evidently have some of
the same ideas when we consider
our own actions toward minority
groups here in America.
Problem Is Nationwide
"You can doubtless tell by my
accent that I am from the South
and I admit that we have not done
too much about solving the race
problem in the South, but for the
past four years I have lived in
Nebraska and I observe that this
problem is there and in Kansas.
1t is not a sectional problem" the
Bishop declared. He reminded his
audience of the fact that it was in
the North, in Chicago, East st.
Louis, Washington, D. c., that the
worst outbreak Of racial conflicts
occurred after the first world war
and in Detroit during this war.
Patience and forbearance will be
needed on one hand and courage
on the other in solving this difficult
problem" Bishop Martin said.
Race Question Needs Priority
The solution of the race question
must be given priority in this Cru
SADIE for World Order, asserted Miss
Mural Day, of New York City, in
one of the major addresses of the
meeting. The four other leading
speakers for the meeting, Bishop
Ivan Lee Holt, Dallas, Texas; Bish-
op Raymond D. Wade, Bishop Ralph
s. Cushman, st. Paul, and President
Walter Coffey of the University of
Minnesota, all made mention of the
race problem and the need for cou-
rageous action on the part of white
people in this country if we are to
have just and durable peace.

Commission Head
Cites Problems
Facing Communities

Rev. Francis J. Gilligan of
the St. Paul Seminary and the
chairman of the Interracial
Commission appointed by
Governor Thye several weeks
ago, was the speaker at Forum
in the Halle Q. Brown House last
Sunday. Excerpts from the address
of Father Gilligan:
Because of factors which caused
unavoidable delays the Governors
Interracial Commission has not for
mally committed itself on the pro-
gram of principles and methods.
Consequently at this time there is
very little that I can say with pro-
priety about the Commission. Natu-
rally with them rests the judgment
about principles and procedures.
Yet through the months it can be
an instrument of much good. 1t
can strengthen and fortify the work
of the private agencies already in
the field. There has been a need
for such a body for years, and I
personally am enthusiastic about its
potential influence. Of the citizens
we ask patience with it, since if its
work is to be solid it must move
deliberately from one project to an
other. At the beginning obviously
it cannot attack every problem.
Economic Discrimination
Important Ill
PERSONALLY it is my opinion that
determinations in economic and
commercial activities are of ire
.mendous significance. If some of
those can be eliminated other types
of injushces may melt away. There
are about eight hundred Negroes
from these Twin Cities in the armed
forces. When they return they
must return to a condition better
than the condition which existed
here in 1886 and 1887. Then there
was very little employment for
Negroes and no up-grading. Due to
the war and the activities of some
private agencies conditions have i'm
proved. Those gains must be pre-
served and new gains achieved. The
method should be that of presenting
the facts to the citizens. Most of
them are fair-minded, but while
they hear much about the general
disturbances of brotherhood they
do not avert the concrete situations
in Minnesota.
Praises Press
"While attention must be focused
again and again upon the existing
interracial injustices those who
labor for better interracial rela-
tionships might fittingly draw some
comfort from the gains achieved in
Minnesota. One concrete instance
is the excellent sense of response
bility which the daily newspapers in
the Twin Cities have manifested
within recent months.
Similarly there are few weekly
papers supported by minority
groups which exhibit as does the st.
Paul Recorder and the Minneapolis
Spokesman the courage to fight for
the members of the group when
they are right and the courage to
differ with them when they are
wrong"
The program was sponsored by
the Eta Chapter of the Alpha
Kappa Alpha Sorority of which
Miss Elizabeth Moore of St. Paul
is the president. Mrs. Ethel M.
Williams told of the Washington
