Mr.. Truman is on record as firmly

He toCk his stand Sept. &c. but at a

whether he had changed his mind.

changed his mind came from a high

very few great Americans. When he was chosen recently on
the first ballot for the well known Hall of Fame. he was
chosen not al a Negro, but a 8 an American whose contribu-
ton was significant. He was not chosen because he had been
campaigned about but because his stature was such that the
LOO hundred judges were practically unanimous in their
selection of the great Negro teacher and philosopher as LIST
choice. When Mr.. Washington said II shall allow no man
to drag me down SO low as to make me hate him., he was
speaking from actual experience, and he knew how soul
soaring hatred can be. He knew that he had a Job to do. and
that if he hated some folks as much as their meanness
would suggest, he wouldn't have had time for anything else.
When meditation and arbitration have been exhausted;
when fighting is inevitable, the only thing to do is to pitch
in and fight with all you've got but you're more certain Of
winning if you keep a cool head. There is no time for hatred
even when the fight is on.
Those NeU Jobs:
attendant dangers, there are hundreds of different types
OF new jobs in the Offing in these United States. This is
important for young people, many of whom are trying to
decide now just What they are going to do to earn a living.
We hope earnestly that all these young fouks will find out
everything possible about new occupations, and about the
skills needed to master them. Of course they will learn
sooner or later that the good oldfashioned qualities of
honesty and industry will be just as much in demand in
1850 as they were in 1850. And its still true that more wor-
kers fail because they don't have the right social qualities
than because they lack needed skills.
Some More Transformation:
One of the worst results of living in a segregated society
is that many of those Disseminated against come to absorb
many Negroes believe that Negroes are unclean, dishonest,
and are criminaIly inclined. They don't like to admit these
., and they oonr understand their own feelings, but
the fact is there just the same.

They call for the termination of the system like cotton and

The other evening a man, rich in years and experience,
told me a story which sums up in a few words just what
America is.
The story goes as follows: A Viking crew, one of those
daring breed whose Unsuitable curiosity drove their small
galleys into all parts of the world, sailed up a river in
France. They we're met by the challenges: "FrOm whence
do We come and who is your MASTERY"
The Vikings answered with the shout: eve come from
all the earth, and we call no man master"
Then he went on to say: is not this the position of the
United States?"
The analogy applies clear down the line. America was
founded by men whose Unsuitable desire for freedom drove
fhem TO seek progress and prosperity across the seas. Those
who came here were daring souls, eager to live to the fullest
ready to work hard to get ahead, quick to take every OPP
POrtunity for advancement for themselves and their chill
dren.
They came-ike the Vikings, from all parts of the big
earth bringing with them the best in racial, national and
religious culture which in the natural evolution of our So
ciety are fusing into one unified culture in which the best
of each strain is preserved and dignified.
In America there re no dual nationalities. A man may
be-should be-proud of the country from which he
comes but his allegiance is here and he proves it by his act

%In God We Trust" We Americans come from all of the

owe our fealty only to God and our country-which is of
our own making and of our own ruling.

Too Much Noise:

Too Much Noise:
One of the most serious dangers facing a minority group
in a country Like America is that too many of us cease to
be useful, Woodworking citizens, and drop TO the low level
of the professional professors. These professionals not only
spend all their time an denergy inveighing against the gen.
eral order OF things but they get all steamed up when every
other professional nOisemaker IN - town doesn't ioin in

that kind OF thing happens to a group over too long a per-

OF course We neel people like that but ever SO much more
do VIC need men and women with enough brains to ge, the
work OF the world done, in spite of the difficulties to be
faced. Too great is the danger OF spending our whole effort
on complaint, and not enough of it on the big Job of getting
things done. When a fellow spends all his time gricving
about the way his nc;ghbor is treating him. he sometimes

We shall always need men who have the courage of their
convictions but we need even more those who can operate
businesses and help to give their neighbors a Job. AT the
present Time, too many are school teachers and leaders.
The Negroes share of these two groups is much higher than
it needs be with the resuudt that often W e make too much
noise over very small accomplishments
For EquaIsied Salaries:
It's too early to know whether this is news or lust rumor
but there seems good reason to believe that slaaries of Negro
teachers lin Mississippi will be made to equal the salaries
OF whites who have the same training and experience. This
doesn't mean that they will earn much money for even the
white teachers in Mississippi are underpaid. but it will Just

Who was the worst enemy of the Negro slave, the good
slave master or the bad one?
L don't toss this one out a 8 an idle quiz The qquestion,
and the answer have their modern applications. From the
standpoint of the individual slave, to be owned by a master
who was sadistically cruel was IN infinitely worse misfor-
tune than to be owned by one who was kindly and consider
ate. But when we consider the slaves class and historic
interests-as embodied in the aspiration for freedom-the
good master appears, paradOxicaly, as by far the most
fnsidious and potent fee. His very kindliness his refusal TO
permit the families of slaves to be broken up, the paterna-

and religious training, gave to the institution of shattel slat

On The Side OF The Victorious Legions-

On The Side OF The Victorious Legions-
Let us resolve to live in the American way. The future
belongs to it. Tyranny-caled totalitarianism i'm its Conn
munist and Fascist guise-it old, tried and found wanting.
Racial prejudice is old. Religious persecution is old-and
o fdate-Out of step with the times and the demand Of the
times. 1t is American democracy that is new-the recogni-
ton of the rights of man that has a. short and very recfnE
history-the right to worship in accordance with the die
tates of conscience that assetred its claims on mankind but
a few years ago. Let us embrace and ever hold fast TO demo
cracy. The future belongs to il.
Gladstone, speaking in Parliament on behalf Of Lord Rus
sells Reform Bill said, "You cannot fight against the fu-
ture. Time is on our side. The great social forces which
move EDWARDS in their might and majesty, and which the
tumult of our debates does no tfor a moment impede orr
disturb-these great social forces are against you; they
are marshalled on our side; and the banned which we now
carry in this fight, though perhaps at some moment il msy
droop over our sinking heads, yet it soon again will float
in the eye Of heaven-perhaPs not to an easy but to a GER
tain and to a not distant victory"
CladstOnes words are our words. The democratic Drin-
ciPles which we are standing for today, the things We are
doing to make democracy work today, are what all mem
will stand fOr-what all men will do tomorrow. The fufure
