may or may not have been aimed
at comments In Washington by anti
administration spokesman who
charged that the communique of the
Big Three seemed to reflect chiefly
Russian demands.
! believe that history will show
that the Presidents claim will be
literally true. This may not mean
that America got the majority Of
the things she wanted but rather
that what could be agreed upon was
largely the result Of the Presidents
policy of insisting on a solution by
compromise rather than a stale
mate.
The great test of Americas posi-
ton will come later. We are the
most conservative Of the great
powers, We are the only one in
which capitalism is threatened by
attack from within more than from
without. | mean that the ma.
iority Of the nation undoubtedly ia
vor capitalism whereas the present
British government tthe only other
large democratic power as we &C.

agree, come from a small group
whose selfish interests are the

There Is a small group In WASH
ington very much concerned over a
matter which is part Of recon-
version and about which they can
do very little. That is the question
Of race riots likely to accompany de-
mobilization.
Twas surprised TO learn how pre-
dietable these clashes are. from the
following statement by Alfred Nc
Chung Lee in a pamphlet produced
by . non-profit agency, the Ameri-
can Council Of American Race Re-
lations. 1t was this:
THE federal Office Of facts and
figures Cater called the Office Of War
Information) had confidential re-
port Is months before the l943 De-
troit race riot that included this
sentence: Unless some socially con-
structive steps are taken shortly.
the tension that is developing is very
likely to burst into active conflict "
The day after the rioting began,
the Detroit Free Press stated:
1.-TWO months ago everybody In De-
troit familiar with the situation knew
that race riots were inevitable"
II is worth noting that the profess
sional observers were much farther
ahead than the newspaper - and
newspaper reporters are pretty
highly trained investigators them
selves. And they did know what was
coming we'll In advance.
But the fact remained that nobody
did anything about it.
And that is where you and ! step
into the picture.
Now nobody but very small
class Of professional motors Of riot
want race riots anymore than any
one but very small class of profess
sional criminals are In favor of
crime. But most people do not
realize that these clashes can be
avoided and very few indeed realize
that they are symptoms and not the
disease itself.
The basic cause Of the group ten
sions which burst into savage flame,
destroy property. interfere with
business and nearly always cost
lives, is insecurity, just as insecurity
is one Of the basic causes Of wars.
A man with a job and firm pros
poets Of keeping 1t who lives In
healthy and decent surroundings
does not want a riot with anybody.
II is the man who is unhappy and
because he Is not able to do any
thing about it, who looks around for
a scapegoat upon whom he can
blame all his troubles. He ma
turally turns against a group whose
members have a different appear
ance and different customs from
his own.
The long-range cure for this
disease is better living conditions,
housing and employment But it is
not of the long-range treatment /
want to speak, but Of the imme-
diate, simple things that you and |
can do to stop these tensions before
they break.

Seven Steps for
Breaking Tension

First, there are seven things you
must know about. One of the first
signs of trouble is the rumor crop.
You begin to hear a lot CT stories
most of which later will prove to
have been untrue. They may be
started by subversive groups; some
will have grain o. truth in them.
They will include tales Of planned,
imminent violence; Of some group
arming itself for attack or outbreak.
Then come stories Of violent as
sault crime and murder. This
creates the beginning OF tension; the
group accused becomes frightened
and shows it. This lends color to
the tales.
Then come the Incidents.
Incidents usually begin to occur in
crowded places. They might be
passed off and forgotten II back.
ground Of hate, fear and suspicion
had not been built IN As one CD
server said to me: Riots always
start when folks get out and bump
into each other"
The third point to look for when II
is clear that rumors have been
thick and incidents have begun to
happen is some subversive group
which may be promoting the trouble
for its own ends. Some of these
groups will have very high and
mighty ideals and very frequently
they will be wrapped up in the flag.
(Ku Klux, Black Legion, etc.
The fourth point to watch is crime
reports because 1t is really the
hooligan element which finally steps
In to do the actual rioting.

BY BAUKHAGE
ke,os Analyst and Commentator.

The fifth is the police attitude. II
there is evidence OF increased
friendliness with the hooligan ele-
ment and OF distrust of the police
by the minority group it usually
means that the tension has reached
high point - the forces OF order
and the forces Of disorder are maxi
Ing common cause against the al
legged threat Of the minority.
The two other danger points are
congestion, of which ] spoke before
dumping into each other) which
may grow out of crowded housing.
and labor conditions where the
minority protests or appears to
threaten to protest discrimination In
hiring and firing.
With these points as a guide any
citizen can learn to recognize the
symptoms Of danger. There are
plenty Of people in any community
who know what is happening - the
people whose work takes them into
the danger zones, like social workers
and police reporters. A school teach
er can learn a lot from what the
children say and do.
But long before the situation
reaches even the rumor stage there
must be emergency planning In the
community. A program must be set
up In which certain groups have GER
tain definite things to do the moment
the Observers see the danger sig
nails. Here they are:
Be sure the mayor knows exact
ly what steps to take to get the help
OF the state militia. Have the clergy
men lined up to use their influence
and II necessary appear in person
-mobs respect the church. Work
out school programs, radio pro-
grams, newspaper campaigns--the
veterans organizations and the boy
scouts will help, the civic and pub
Lie utilities, labor and business will
cooperate.
While President Truman was still
on the high seas en- route for home.
he and his staff began the careful
briefing Of the correspondents, tell
ing them many details which were
not for publication but which will
gradually find their way into the
public prints.
They also gave out specific news
items for publication, one of which
stated that it was largely the sug-
gestions of the American delegation
which made up the agenda. This
