why GOD
PERMITS WAR!

Why does God permit war? Why
does He permit cruelty, injustice,
pain, starvation, sickness d
death?
Thirty years ago, in Forbidden
Tibet, behind the highest mountains
in the world, young Englishman
named Edwin ]. Dingle found the
answers to these questions. A great
mystic opened his eyes. A great
change came over him. He real
lied the strange Power that Know
ledge gives.
That Power, he says, can trans
form the life Of anyone. Questions,
whatever they are, can be answer
ed. The problems of health, death,
poverty and wrong, can be solved.
In his own case, he was brought
back to splendid health. He &C
quired wealth, too, as well as world
wide p f onal recognition.
Thirty years ago, he was sick as a
man could be and live. Once his
coffin was bought. Years of almost
continuous tropical fevers, broken
bones, near blindness, privation
and danger had made a human
wreck of him, physically and men,
tally.
He was about to be sent back to
England to die, when a strange
message came-"They are waiting
for you in Tibet" He wants to tell
the whole world what he learned
there, under the guidance OF the
greatest mystic he ever encounter
ed during his twenty-one years in
the Far East He wants everyone
to experience the greater health
and the Power, which there came
to him.
Within ten years, he was able to

ByrnesSays Ward Conduct
Is Han1peri1g War Effort

CHICAGO. Jan. 6 -UP)- The
Government bolstered its case
against Montgomery Ward and Co.
today with an affidavit by War
Mobilization Director James F.
Byrnes, which charged that the
company's conduct, if permitted
to continue, would hamper the war
effort seriously.
Byrnes pointed out that as head
of the Office of War Mobilization
and Reconversion, he is thorough
ly familiar with all war bureaus
and with the machinery set up by
Congress and President Roosevelt
for settling labor disputes.
'It is my opinion" he said,
that this continued refusal of
Montgomery Ward and Co., Inc,
to conform with these procedures
for the adjustment of wartime la
Dor disputes and maintenance of
wage and price stabilizat ton threat
ems to disrupt these procedures,
and that the company's conduct,
if allowed to continue, will serious
ly interfere with the successful
prosecution of the war"

war battle was quiet, as both
sides awaited Mondays hearing

injunction to restrain Ward Off

The Army and Navy Journal, re-

for a second front in Western Eu-
rope. asserted today that now
that we are struggling with strong
comprehensive it would be help
full for the Red armies to strike
through Poland"
The unofficial service publica-
ton said:
with general understanding OF
Russia's far flung operations, we
are not pressing action at the point
we desire in the manner Marshal
Stain and other Russian authorl-
ties did during 1912 in their effort
to get us to establish the Western
front. It will be recalled that in
letter dated October 3, 1912, to
Henry C. Cassidy, correspondent OF
the Associated Press in Moscow,
Marshal Stain spoke of the pauclty
of aid given by the Allies to the
Soviet Union, and observed: Nm
order to amplify and improve this
aid, only one thing is required -
the full and prompt fulfillment by
the Allies of their obligations.' In
short, that leader wanted Anglo
American troops to land on the
western coast of Europe to ease
the pressure on the Red armies.
Similarly, now that we are
struggling with a strong counter
offensive, it would be helpful for
the Red armies to strike through
Poland, the front that would be the
most advantageous for our assist
ance.

pest is occupied and safeguarded,

ERNIE JOHNSON
TO COLLEGE fund

Ernest E. Johnson, former Wash

nounced.
Mr.. Johnson returns to New

half years covering the nations
capital. Although having engaged
occasionally in publicity before, he
is for the first time entering the
field on full-time basis.
The new publicity director was
BORN and attended school in New
York City, and has written for Ne
gro newspapers for II years. He is
also a former employe for the City
Of New York.
When former president Edwin
Barclay of the Republic of Liberia,
paid an official visit to this country
in 1943, Mr.. Johnson was invited to
accompany the party as the only re-
porter. His pioneering activities in
behalf of the Negro press in the
field of foreign affairs soon won for
him membership in the State De-
partment Correspondents asso-
citation, a singular distinction.
Last February he was sent to
London by the Journal and Guide of
Norfolk to do special correspond
ence for that paper.
For the past five years he has
also written special articles for

CARVER, N0WE HALLS
ARE OFFERED FOR SALE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 26
(ANP)-Two famous institutions,
Carver hall and Slowe hall, again
are on the market for sale, accord
ing to information from the Fed
eral Public Housing authority
which moved last week to liquidate
it's $53,OO0,O00 Defense Homes cor
poration holdings, six huge modern
projects in Washington.
Reported for sale prior to this
last announcement, several inter-
ested groups had looked over Car
yer and Slowe halls, both of which
have national regulations. But
neither group was satisfied with
the layouts for commercial ven-
lures and they were reluctant to
acquire either as hotel. For the
latter purposes, both would have
to be remodelled, since accomoda-
tions in each are limited to single
occupancy and for separate accom-
mediation Of males and females.
They were built for dormitories
and could only be useful as adjuncts
to the present facilities at Howard
university or for use by the YMCA
or the YWCA. Only recently, the
YWCA acquired additional dorm
itory space through the removal of
a white group from a colored neigh
borhood. Operation as an adjunct
to the present institutions would
serve an area remote from either of
the present institutions.
However, in looking over the
buildings, one New York operator

who are glad to respond in kind.
The stubborn opposition offered
by certain elements in this country
to the Negroes every attempts at
advance could possibly be rooted
in the accepted policy of Negroes to
make frontal attacks.
If our attacks are going to be
frontal, then we may expect the
opposition to be frontal also. Wash
ington thought that a flank attack
would be better and so declared
himself and paid the price of his
conviction. We of the present gen.
GRAFTON who advocate the frontal
attack must also be prepared to pay
the price thereof. Hail Booker T.
Washington-Negro immortal!

ways added lustre to majestic lives
and living.
Perhaps the opposition that
Washington encountered mellows
our memory of the great man. He
was at times bitterly assailed and
at times by those who were not
worthy to unloose the latchets of
his shoes. But Washington taught
the more excellent way of not vast
ing time replying to hecklers. His
very bigness was his surest defense.
Then, too, Washington not only had
a philosophy but he has a strategy
the lack of which at the present is
seriously handicapping the Negro
in his struggle for survival in this
country. Washington knew in his
time what many of us are just
finding out, namely, that claims to
citizenship that are unbacked by
solid achievement are worthless.
He taught that the prime consider
alton in seeking our rights is to be
worthy Of them, a fact that it is
easy to overlook under the stress of
untoward circumstances.
Then, too, Washington chose not
to make a frontal attack in the
fight for rights. He made the at
tack through industrial education a
flank attack, if you please. He felt
that in the contest of citizenship
as in the test of the gridiron, that
the weaker team should stay on the
defensive and rely on strategy even
as a lighter football team seldom
resorts to power plays through big
tough line; but rather turns to for
ward passes and receptions.
Of course it was in this sphere
that the two schools of thought
among Negroes were founded.
There is school that does not be-
lieve in strategy but in power.
These spurn the flank attack and
brand it as cowardly. This school of
thought for better or worse is in
the ascendancy among Negroes.
This position naturally posits di-
rect challenge to the opposition
