ARMISTICE DAY 1916

Tweniy-eight years ago a group of tired, but gallant soldiers
= Of War gathered in aIittle railway coach just outside of
Reims, France 10 enact an agreement which they reverenly
hoped would bring peace to the World and good will among
men. But in less than a quarter of a century thereafter
Thousands of the children and babies of November III, 1913
were giving their lives in a bloodier and more costly war. 1t
is again uncomfortable that our little ones who today romp
and play in their youthful innocence, will in the near future
be called upon to bear arms in an even more destructive
atomic war.
We are starting over again where v e we're % years a.
go, When hopes were high as the World got off to a new
start. With Peace within its grasp, The Peace that millions
Of hearts had yearned for throughout those awful years Of
war. The Peace that was moi to last. The World, it is now
most precious heritage. Treaties we're made among nations,
but with strained reservations. Each Nation was afraid of
giving too much of itself. Each held on to its own intoler-
ances and prejudices. As the years passed these weaknesses
grew. Each Nation was wrapped in its own concern. In
tolerance grew and was ignored. A few nations coveted
what other nations had; and were ignored by the rest until
at last we were plunged into another bloody and cruel con-
fGct. once more a Nations sons were engaged in battle with
those of other nations and once again that battle has drawn
to a close. This time will it be different? This time will
we profit by past mistakes? This time will each Nation de-
eide that the time is past when it can consider its needs alone!
The People whose sons have been sacrificed to the Gods
of intolerance, greed and seIfishness, must decide the future.
There must be am honest effort to eradicate the fruits of hate
and greed. AS a Nations homes Think, So thinks the Ma
ton. In each home an awareness of other people and other
peoples rights must be taught. For only from such a foun-
dation can absolute freedom be spread.
If we value the lives Of our children, every child, in
each Nation, should and must bit taught the principles on
which freedom is built. The Fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of Man. From such a foundation the safety of
our children and thus the World will be assured.

Atty. General Clark, taking up

will be complete only when they
have an equal share with men in

a investigation and later a grand

appeal I publicity invited all per-
sons having information to for

that he had ordered a grand jury

servation for the past year julius
A. Thomas the Leagues Director
of Industrial Relations said. Like
so many large enterprises. the
telephone company had not given
serious thought to its racial en-
ployment policies until the Ur-
ban League made a study of its
policies in A cities, which reveal
ed that the employment of Ne
groes was generally limited to
service and unskilled labor in the
majority of cities. New policies
now in force will open opportun-
tiles for the employment of a
larger number of Negroes as in
stallers, repairmen, and other OPP
Grating jobs Thomas declared.
Veterans with army training in
communication work should be
able to qualify for employment
with local units of the telephone
company he added, and they really
should be encouraged to apply for
these positions.

period of reaction that will last
for eight to twelve years was pre-
dicted for Georgia by Governor
Eliss Arnall who will be succeeded
by white-supremacy exponent Eu-
gene Talmadge on January 18th.
Arnall made his prediction at a
press conference in Chicago last
week, and at the same time he
held out the hope that the forces
of liberalism will follow reaction
in his state.
The Supreme Court refused to
consider an action that might have
resulted in the Talmadge election
being set aside. Arnall asserted
that the only way to beat the

ATTY. GENERAL IN CLASH
WITH NAACP SPEAKER

NEW YORK. Oct. 31-Speaking
before a capacity audience at the
opening session of the New York
Herald Tribune's Fifteenth An
nual Forum on current problems
at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel,
oliver Harrington, NAACP Pu-
bile Relations Director, clashed
with Attorney General Tom Clark
charging that for the crime of race
hate and lynching there has hard
ly ever been a conviction in the
history of the United States.
The Forum. which considered the
most significant sounding board
for current national and interna-
tional opinion brought together
speakers who covered India, the
colonial policy of Great Britain in
general and British West Africa
in particular and finally the Ne
gro problem in the south under
the title Frontiers of Justice.
The keynote address was made
by William o. Douglas, Associate
Justice of the United States Su-
preme Court who said, American
ideals put into action can bring
about the birth of a great common
wealth of justice for all the peo-
pies of the world.
Opening the panel devoted to
problems of justice in the United
States, Mr.. Harrington charged:
when most Americans say JUS
tice they mean justice for whites
only. The Department of Justice
tracked down every foreign spy
during the war but was unable to
find a single clue to the criminals
responsible for wholesale wanda
lism against the Negro community
Of Columbia, Tenn"
"An Agency committed to de-
fend the lives of its citizens should
spend less time finding legal rea-
sons for not acting and more time
acting on behalf of human Justice

continued, you fought if you are

ARMlSTICE DAY
by n. w. Smith

We are on the eve of another
Armistice Day and may we lend
a sacred thought as our minds and
memory drift back to the day it
was signed. Back to the night the
whistles blew and the bells rang;
when happy boys that yer head
ed for the front lines, stopped and
gave a solemn player of thanks.
We remember the letters that
came uncensored telling of our.
sons, husbands and fathers coming
home for good. We now mention
a conflict with the U. S. and Rus
STA. Dc we hope peace is just
around the corner? If so the peace
and goodwill conference can take
time out and adjourn for all times.
We should let every day be an
Armistice Day in our hearts.

have reason to know, were con-

upon the disastrous japanese

facts II any have escaped the
authors attention and from
copies or from other sources he
gives us a well-rounded descrip-
ton OF the opening of what be-
came, but was not then, the
Mikado's empire.
The appearance of the Black
Ships of Japan ended an era in
Far Eastern history and initiated
q new one that is leading us we

Far East. Perry, wise man that
he was, foresaw the great need of
ports of refuge and coaling sta
tions for our ships in time of war
as well as in the days of peace.
He asked for permission to occupy
three island ports that were then
unoccupied through some friendly
arrangement with the inhabitants
who at that time did not number
q single japanese; but the NAVY
Department was not as far
sighted as the sailor diplomat
who was on. the spot and his
plan was rejected. Among these
ports that he coveted was Oki-
nawa, in the seizure of which in
the recent conflict we lost more
gallant men than those who died,

upon all the seven seas as well.
Mr.. Pratt takes as his appropriate
text Mahan's praise 'of those far
distant, storm beaten ships which
stood between Napoleon's soldiers
and the dominion of the world"
1t would seem that he regards
Hitler as a reincarnation of the
central figure of his book ma
poleon). He traces analogies
between Mr.. Pitt and Mr.. Cham
berlain and he leaves with me at
least the impression that while
tomorrow great ships will fly in
the air and that every properly
equipped submarine will carry
planes and rockets and bombs,
the problems are the same. If
the United Nations fail in their
attempt to save civilization, and
cities and whole communities are
destroyed by weapon which can

~N THIS the first year of the
atomic era that marks a
turning point for veal or
woe in the rise or fall of
civilization our historians have
not been idle. With something
like nostalgia they write Of the
epoch that is closing and peer
into the future. No one knows
what it portends but there are
few who do not realize that in
the chronicle of the generations
to come the date 1916 is the start
Ing point of new chapter that
will be classed with the fall of
Rome and the discovery of
America.
I am at loss how to qualify
the volume with which I begin
my review. 1t is entitled "The
River Jordan" and it comes from
