President Mordacai Johnson OF
Howard University, speaking at the
public meeting of the Washington
bureau of Fraternal Council OF Ne
gro Churches on Tuesday night,
presented his views on world at
fairs and the peace and won the
plaudits of some 1900 persons
gathered to hear him speak.
Three weeks ago, Ir. Johnson
was endorsed by the Baptist Pas
tors Conference of Chicago as the
likely Negro to be presented at the
peace table. The endorsement was
given on the basis of his courage
TO fittingly represent the race, as
we'll as his character and foresight.
The we'll known educator, speak
ing in parable form, set forth his
views on four items:
/. He rejected isolationists and
favored wrold organization.
2. He opposed imperialism and
favored self government for colon
ial peoples.
s. He rejected war as a means
of settling international disputes.
