Education Seen
As Weapon For
Racial Justice
Catholics Told
To Make Full
Use Of knowledge

NEW YORK. amp - Edu-
cation is the first weapon in the
FIGHT for interracial justice and is
now more urgent than ever, Negro
and white speakers declared here
at a panel discussion sponsored by
the Catholic Interracial council Of
New York and attended by repre-
sentatives of 16 Catholic organiza-
lions. Resolutions were passed APP
.pealing to Catholics to join other
groups in pressing for passage of
legislation for a permanent FEPC
and denouncing racism as a No. l
problem on the American home
front.
The keynote was especially
stressed by the Rev. John La
Fargo, S. j.. executive editor Of
America and chaplain of the coun-
Gil, who declared that. This mat
ter of race and group hatred can
not be allowed to drift. but must
be met by a clear, definite, and
specific remedy
This remedy S above all, he
said, "a widespread program Of
popular education in the rights and
dignity of our fellow men"
The meeting was held in the
Blackfriars' Guild theater, where
the play, "Caukey," written by the
Rev. Thomas McGlynn, o. P.
around the problem of interracial
justice, is currently appearing. This
is believed to be the first time in
theatrical history that producers
and players have coOpeated in
making their theater available for
public discussion of a theme treat
ed in their performance.
A highlight of the meeting was
the tribute paid by Elmer A. Car
ter, distinguished non-Catholic
editor and lecturer, to the Catho-
lie interracial moment for its eff
forts to promote intergroup under
standing and fair play.
