A festive Christmas air prevailed in the Methodist Church recreation parlors with the decorations carry ing cut the seasonal theme, as mem bers of W.S.C.S. and their friends, of both Douglas and Juneau, gather ed last night to enjoy an evening of Christmas songs and stories.
 The program, arranged by Mrs. R. L.

zens in every aspect of community life We think
this is pretty good answer to the cautious crowd
that always asks: What will all this goodwill bust
ness lead to-
The other pamphlet which interests us is called:
State FEPC-What The People Say" This book
let is digest of the hearings which were conducted
in New York state on the FEPC measure which has
now become New York state law. 1t is interesting
because all the arguments which are usually made
against FEPC legislation are succinctly answered.
For those who contend that education alone
can remove prejudice and discrimination which are
rooted in causes that cannot be eliminated by law"
the booklet gives this answer Education by itself
has failed to produce satisfactory results Legis-
lation is powerful educational method of demo-
cratic government. The fact that discrimination can
be largely eliminated by law is evidenced by the
operation of the New York State Labor Act and
the consequent diminution of improper labor &C
tivities Seldom, if ever, has a program of social
reform been realized without legislative enforce
ment
= For those who argue that moral suason instead
Of punitive legislation should be used to curb unfair
practices, the pamphlet gives this answer: Evils
cannot be checked solely by the moral sanctions of
the community. Legislation is needed to reinforce
even the Ten Commandments To which we
add how right you are.

JUSTICE

Every and then something occurs to re-
mind us that behind the cloud the is still shin
ing Such was the announcement last week of the
acquittal of the flyers of the 477th Bomber Group
who ran afoul the sacred segregation policies at
Freeman Field in Indiana.
Still more thrilling the announcement that
the Navy is beginning to abolish its segregated
training programs. The Navy officials have dis
covered slowly that the artificial barriers between
the trainees create more problems than they solve
The special apparatus required to maintain segre
of our fighting machine. What is more, the color
bar destroys morale and gives the lie to the very
ideals for which we fighting this war
Sometimes it is difficult to explain to hardened
brass hats the true menace of JIM rowsm 1t is
always hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Never
theless lessons being learned in the bitter
experiences of this war. 1t is gradually becoming
clear that the jim-crow principle is an unworkable
impractical and dangerous instrument In the heat
Of battle faced with an implacabe and treacherous
foe the maintainence of the color line becomes i'm
possible.
We believe that one of the great tactical les
of this war is contained in the breakdown of
segregation on the fighting fronts. An American
boy with his life hanging by thread on bloody
battlefield simply doesn't give damn about the
the color Of the boy who responds to his call
for help. Out of such suffering new democratic
spirit is being born Here is lesson for the brass
hats and the best guarantee for the future Of de-
mocracy.

THE COMING CAMPAIGN

The boys on the block are predicting knock
down-and-drag -out fight in the mayoralty "a e
which is expected get into high gear within few
days Some political observers believe that II the
results of the primary close all Of the dir! and
disgracefol tricks which were used in the last may
orally contest will be used again.
We certainly hope that these dire predictions
will not come true. The scandaous conduct of the
last municipal election gave Detroit biack-eye be-
fore the nation and frightened The daylighs out of
the citizens who were seeking 20 heal the wounds
Of the rioting in l943 II does good TO work fot
inter-racial harmony for two years and then scrap
these noble efforts during political campaign
Recognition Of this fact has inspired the De-
trot Council of Churches and other organizations
TO make public appeals for clean contest this year.
These civic and religious groups realize the damage
that irresponsible campagners can do to the peace
and morale of the general ctizenry. Race-baitng,
labor batting, or any other technique which seeks
to pit groups against one another always cause ten
sions and disturbs the gradual development Of inter-
group understanding and good will.
There are enough legitimate issues in this cam
paign to occupy the time and efforts of the candi-
dates without resOrting to unethca practices. The
problems of Detroit are manifold and intelligent
debate between the candidates over which methods
best to solve them will be real public service.
In other words, firs-class campaign should en-
tighten the general public rather han provoke
unrest
Despite reports to the contrary, we believe that
Detroit has learned something from its past expert
ences. We don't believe the general public will be
as readily influenced by hate-appeas today it
was two years ago. The citizens getting tired
of false alarms. Further believe that the can
didates themselves would prefer clean contest
Let us all, no matter to which group we belong, try
to keep it that way.

TWO GUIDES

Two pamphlets published by the American
Council on Race Relations in Chicago have come
to our attention, and we wish to recommend them
to our community leadership. One of them is titled
Community Relations Manual and it seeks to pre-
sent in practical terms an intelligent approach to
the solution of inter-group conflict.
This manual was prepared by Dr. Robert c.
Weaver, and he makes one statement which De-
troiters might we'll ponder. He states: Any pro-
