 There will be those who will criticize the book because a Roose- welt wrote it; there are still others who haven't yet learned to evalu- ate the place and role of President Roosevelt in world diplomacy at time when the highly polished, hate-ridden propaganda of Goeb- bels ct al was the best seller in most of Europe. The question is: are we going to permit petty is- sues to cloud the main issue of world peace? The solution depends on three elements: CD that recog- milton of the fact that all govern ments, de jure or de facto, have their respective faults; CD the es- tablishment of the fact that each of such governments has a specific sphere of influence; (3) and the ad- mission of the fact that certain concessions must be made by each nation in the interest of interna- tional peace and cooperation.

To the Editor:


 It was a pleasure to read liar old Freezes Living South" in the October issue of the CHRON- ICLE. It is true that colored men have not only distinguished them selves in the prophetic age but all through the history of Christian ity. The great Protestant church in America has a golden opportunity to make our country better place to live in by carrying on a relent- less crusade against the diabolical evils of lynching, discrimination and segregation, and this is where the ballot comes in to play it's role in breaking down these bar riers that is, of as a group will have pride enough to exercise our franchise, because what affects the colored American in Georgia, also affects the colered American in Massachusetts. We as people are very proud of our history which dates back to the days of antiquity, so let's carry on with our great Joe Louis and other great men of our group in helping to crystalline pub lie opinion against these evils.

war was not fought, after all, just And into this vacuum-the friends of progress being out to lunch - there stepped their opposites, the foe of progress, the proponents of the world that was, the advocates of reaction"
 In evaluating MT. Roosevelt's s book, it is needless to state that it is not historians documented treatise on the history and evolu- ton of Roosevelt war diplomacy. Nor was it intended to be such. The book purports to create an en- frightened public opinion, so that the forces - economic, social, po- itical - inimical to world peace may be comprehended in the light of past experiences. For the foun- dation of any organization or in stitution of government national or international, is dependent, not upon the legal phraseology of it's P1AIISAp4CS, OhC upOu CiiC 11IOlflOuSa1 and collective attitude of the gov erned. Such an attitude compels change or adaptation, as conditions may warrant. To the formation of correct attitudes enlightened pub lie opinion is a prerequisite.
 Enlightened public opinion would recognize the inconsistency of talk of war in 1948 with the actual lack of economic resources with which to wage such an exten- sive war. Diplomatic bluff is not a component of world peace. People would realize that certain econom- ic, social, political ties exist be- tween governments and that such ties per Sc determine our. policy in many spheres. In placing too much reliance on the newspaper which he has been reading for ten years or on the unctuously voiced radio commentator, the average citizen has kept himself in the dark. Those few who examine both sides of a question before ventur- ing, even then, an opinion qualified in the event of contingencies are

DID WE FORGE THE IRON
 CURTAIN?-Elliotto oRoseve1t
 (LOOK)
 Part 4 the concluding part of Elliott Roosevelt's book cites spe- cifc instances where the postwar plans of the late Presidents were either forgotten purposely or com pletely forsaken for restoration of power politics. To be specific, these instances were: CD the Greek sit uation; (2) the question of domi- nion status for the Dutch East In- dies; (3) the promises secured from Russia and Chiang relative to non-intervention with internal affairs of China and to the insti- tuition of a truly representative na- tional government; and (4) the Iran confusion and the immediate economic interests involved. No mention, however, was made of the Argentine dictatorship of Peron, nor of that of Spain's Franco and the controversy which ensued in the UNO as to the policy to be followed in dealing with men whose ties with Naziism are not unknown.
 It was the hope of President Roosevelt that the departure from unfair colonial exploitation would be "the best way to sell the Brit ish people and the British parlia- ment on the need for Britain to put her hopes for the future in the United Nations - ALL the United Nations and not just in the British Empire and British ability to get other countries to combine in some sort of bloc against the Soviet Union."
 As the author asserts, "It must be obvious that no single individ- ual, no matter how great a world leader, can by his existence or by his death influence world history for more than a few moments of eternity. But in his case, an in dividuaPs death meant a conse- quent vacuum - for those few moments - in the force of pro- gross; for making sure that the

Health For All
REBUILDING A LIFE

When a person learns that he has tuberculosis, he faces 8 com plete change in his way of living. The proba ability is that he must undergo a long period of treat ment, usually in a tuberculosis hospital where he will be separated from his family and friends ex- cept for the visits which they may make to the hospital.
 For the man or woman who has been earning his or her own living, it means winding up all business affairs and giving up an active life for one of rest.
 These are only a few of the changes which TB may bring to "a mans life. They call for a great deal of adjustment. In most in- stances, some outside aid is needed to help the patient make the ad- justment satisfactorily.
 If the patient is the breadwin- ner, he must know that his family will not suffer while he is in the hospital. With the aid of esta- lolished community agencies, ar rangements can be made to pro- vide the proper care for the family. Whether this will mean some form of financial assistance or care of the young children while the mo- ther works will depend upon the particular situation.
 As hospital patient, he con- tinues to need assistance in addi- tion to medical care. He needs it in the form of occupational the rapy to relieve the tedium of long days in the hospital. He needs special guidance to help him dis cover or re-discover any special interests and attitudes he may have which will enable him to live more complete life when his di- sease is arrested and he leaves the hospital.
 If he has followed a strenuous, outdoor fife in the past, life which may be barred to him in the future, he needs training for a new type of work in which he may en- gage safely and with satisfaction after his medical discharge from the hospital.
 The patient who receives such aid as he needs becomes fully re- habilitated and an asset to society when he again takes up his life in the community.
 In the next article, malaria will be discussed.

IS JAZZ IRRELIGIOUS?

That modern so-called jazz or popular music is necessarily to be avoided as Bad Music;" Devil Possessed' and "Sinful'' is a fall acy needlessly insisted upon by some religious people who simply prefer, never to listen. Many of these people in order to find reli- zion believe that they must not only ignore but must also condemn all life around them which does not forever sing hymns and shut itself up in dark temples in order to live as they think God would have it. These people are mistaken. Because of their narrow viewpoint they are letting a great fact of life itself escape them. By malign- ing and vilifying the less preten- tious souls around them who ap- preciate and enjoy popular music they are unjustly segregating many who are as well aware as themselves of the profound beauty and serious meaning of life. Be cause there are some rowdy, loose and immoral people who enjoy jazz and popular music is no reason to condemn all jazz or all of those who enjoy it. It is well known that some of the vilest hypocrites in the world enjoy church music; but whoever thinks of condemning our sacred hymns because of them.
 Certainly the truly spiritual mu- sic of the church has it's proper place in Divine worship. It proper ly belongs there both by practice and tradition. Church and sacred

music have their respective place in the world and by all means will so remain; but in the same respect does the Symphony, the Opera and the Classics. All of these contri- bute to the fullness, richness and beauty of the meaning of life, and jazz bringing from the life of the common people does likewise.
 Simply because one can find no happiness or emotional up1ift from one or the other of these kinds of music is no reason to condemn those who do.
 For some time I have wanted to air my true feelings on this con- troversial subject in a serious dis cussion. I am however, firmly aware and expect that some will naturally take exception; but I know also that I am secretly and confidentially joined by many of my fellow clergymen who are deep ly aware of the contributions of popular music to the making of well-rounded souls in their parish. es. They are also aware of one who came in order that "YOu may have life and have it more abund- antly." There is no reason to be- Heve that the lovers of popular mu- sic do not have as much claim up- on that "abundant life" as any one else. In order that the subject can be treated fully I shall continue dis :ussion in the following issues with specific references to the so- clal and spiritual contributions of popular music to the present day world.

The Living South
til just about 40 years ago. Black Business Men
By Harold Preece

1 til Just about 4O years ago.
 Black Business Men
 I shall never forget my sensa- tions when that prodigious re- searcher into the Negro past, J. A. Rogers, invited me over to his New York apartment and showed me pictures of Negroes trading with the old Maya Indians which he had photostated from ancient Maya photographs in one of the city's great museums. That started me on a new line of research. On old Mayan and Columbian picto- graphs from Mexico and Guatema- la, 1 have seen pictures of Negroes living and mingling with the In- dians. Yes, they were unmistak- ably black men and their color stood out in sharp contrast to that of the Indians pictured with them. One of the deities of the ancient Mexicans was called the Black God. Smaller figurines of gods, un- mistakably black. have been long up by annoyed explorers who be- lieve in White supremacy" in va rious ruined cities of Central America where today Negroes are slaves of the American banana companies.
 Other explorers and scientists have dug up huge negroid idols in Southern Mexico where the rem nants of the republics almost as- simulated Negro population still lives. The Black Virgin and the Black Christ are worshipped from Mexico to Ecuador. I'm inclined to believe the cults which center around them are simply hand-me- downs of the worship of ancient Negroid deities with the gods of the cults becoming confused with sacred figures of the Christian re- ligion.
 The evidence of early Negro colonization in America is still slender because the race prejudice kept alive by the Bilbos has pre- vented the kind of coordinated and intensive research which is needed to prove or disapprove theory of this kind. But the evidence is promising even when it is slight.
 How are we going to explain the Negroid skulls found in caves of the Bahamas islands except on the theory that Negroes, who built great empires and great navies in their old homeland of Africa, reached these shores and fused their blood with that of other peo- pies living here?
 A modern historian, Justin Win sor, has suggested that Negro sail ors may have become shipwrecked while sailing from the old African civilization of Ghana or Guinee and landed on the soil of what is now America.
 That is one explanation but an insufficient one. I'd like to see some organization like the Rosenwald or Stokes-Phelps Foundation put up the money to learn more about the coming of the Negro to America. The facts dug up might be hard on Bilbo, but they'd be mighty good for America.

Negroes Have Less Suicides

New York (Calvin's News Ser vlce)-There are less suicides among Negroes than among white people in the United States, ac- cording to the Encyclopedia Bri- tannica, 1946 Book of the Year.

Percentage of white wo- men Is 5.9 but Negro women total Is for the same per 100000 popu- lation.
