Cautious Christians

men for guides in the practical
affairs of life, we have a right to
ask the people who, under the
guise of Caution" do nothing for
the alienation of human misery:
When do you intend to begin ap-
plying to Negroes in America the
Christian and democratic principles
in which you say that you believe :?
Are you going on forever saying
that you are good Christians and
good Americans and, at the same
time, are you going to refuse to
raise a finger to destroy the filthy
slums in which Negroes are COM
PEELED to live? Are you going on
affirming that you believe in being
kind to your neighbors, and yet
forever do your part to hinder the
expression of that kindness in ex-
tending to Negroes equal oppor-
tunity with white people for equal
work? Are you going an exalting
Christian morality and democratic
virtue while, in the name of "cau-
tion," you fear to open school and
other facilities to Negroes?
