.TMMUTABLE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT
NEGRO AIMS

BY DIR. JOHN X. LARREMORE
Lacking a workable and con-
certed plan Of action, Negro lead
ers from all over the world
missed the opportunity to pre-
sent the aims of African peoples
to the United Nations Conference
at San Francisco.
That Negroes throughout the
world have larger aims than be-
ing mere supporters of a deeadent
White race is not generally un-
derstood by the mass of Ne
groes themselves, much less by
white people.
It is true that men and women
of all races are making war for
what they believe to be human
freedom, and are sacrificing un-
told wealth to guarantee the con-
tinued existence of the way of
life they believe to be best.
A carefule analysis of history,
however. shows that victories on
the battlefield do not thoroughly
settle racial issues. Military sue
cesses are futile unless there is
change In ideals of justice and
tolerance. War has never ad-
justed fully the Negroes problems.
To outline the Negroes long
range aims there is no need even
to consider the difference in opln-
ion which exists between the va
rious Negro groups who concern
themselves with the aims of their
race. These differences exist
only in tempo and method. An
enquiry into these differences will
reveal that 1t has always been
the policy of the White man to
divide and rule, his is also the
only group that has carried to
the pitch of fanatielsm the pur-
suit of racial dominance.
Among modern Negroes, their
