from the trees where the bullets
penetrated when the victims were
shot down. Others brought dirt
from mother earth soaked in hui
man blood. This is the Church S
day. The Church must speak out,
and speak loud, against lynching,
racial prejudice, Jim Crow, and
discrimination. There can be no
world peace in Africa, Asia, Eu-
rope, or the Americas as long as
these evils remain on the statute
books of nations.
In the remaining months of this
year, thousands of church study
groups in America will make
race relations the theme of their
discussions. Two words of coun-
sci we would offer to such groups.
First, let none assume that the
question of relations between
Negroes and whites is the only
racial problem in America.
Though a major question, it is
not the only one. People who
live in communities where there
is not single Negro may be
very SNUG and self righteous
about treatment accorded Negroes
in other sections and may at the
same time be wholly blind to
the implications of their own at
titudes toward other minority
groups in their own communities.
Second, let no one-North or
South--think of the question of
relations between Negroes and
whites as concerning only the
South. The problem is nation
wide. People in the North need
to see that this is true and that
they must not content themselves
with Pharisaical disapproval of
reported attitudes in the South
but must look to their own 'front.'
door responsibilities. At the same
time the people of the South must
renounce all claims to priority in
determining racial patterns. The
question is not sectional but ma
tional. And basically, it is not
question of relations of blacks
and whites but question of hui
man relations. Christ certainly
intended his religion to become
a universally redempuve fellow
ship. God so loved the world"
"The field is the world" go
we into all the world"
Christ gave the essential ideas
for such a world spirit. Pat
terms of conduct are always the
outgrowth of basic ideas. Basic

ideas always work themselves
out. When Christ declared that
our God is everybody's God, and,
therefore, all men everywhere are
brothers, he presented the basic
concepts from which can come
constructive world citizenship.
certainly doubt if an essential
world spirit can be derived from
any other source.
No man can be my brother who
lynches me or punches out my
eyes. No man can be my brother
who draws a curtain in a diner on
train because l am a Negro.
No man can be my brother who
makes me pay first class fare
for third class accommodation
No man can be my brotehr who
gives me Is years in the peniten-
tiary because l am Negro and
gives white man one year and
sometimes frees him.
We have now come to the
place where we Snust make a
basic decision, and do it quickly.
We can have a world of faith or
world of chaos. We can either
Christianize (by starting in
America } the world or the world
will paganize us. We must in
America help to lift the nations of
the earth up to God by treating
all men as human beings and
practicing New Testament Chris
tianity, or we will join the down
ward pull to destruction and
death How tragical to play with
the religion of the New Tesla
ment, to tinker with incidentals
when the world is on fire and its
life is burning out rapidly. Ameri
ca and this entire world is dis
jointed. There is only one rule
that will do the job: read it, "All
things, therefore, whatsoever ye
would that men should do unto
you, do ye even SO unto them"
This rule does not say which
men---educated men, nor ignorant,
does not say black men or white
men; neither does it say we'll
dressed or naked or ragged men;
neither does it say rich or poor
men. II says men.
America is afraid of the Golden
Rule ard its consequences if &C
tually lived by it. The church
must speak out now and put in
practice what it teaches or stop
saying, Our Father" when We

the possibility of the House In
American Committee investigat-
ing the activities of the Khan.
And Mr.. Rankin said: After all,
the Khan is completely Ameri-
can institution and its members
are Americans. That's not what
this committee was set up to
study. Our job is to investigate
foreign isms and alien organiza-
tons"
Congressman Rankin spoke the
truth in part. The Ku Klux Khan
is an American organization. II
has a history in American life.
The National Socialist Party in
Germany was German organiza-
ton. The German people dis
covered how large a role it was to
play in their history. We, here
in America, found out how i'm
mense role it was to play in our
lives, too.
do not think that we here in
America can ignore the fact that
the Ku Klux Khan is part of our
nation today. 1t is the spearhead
of the most depraved, the most
vicious and violent force in
American life, 1t is the spear
head of reaction and fascism.
We cannot afford to blind our
selves to the state of our nation.
We cannot close our eyes and
treat the Khan as an organization
of maniacS and fools dedicated
to senseless acts of violence and
terror.
The Khan with its history of
violence against the Negro peo-
pie; the Klan with its record of
anti-semitism; the Khan with its
role of anti democratic activity
has been selected to provide the
action front for fascism in
America. And today, money and
brains are being poured into this
organization and other little
groups, such as those led by
Gerald l.. K Smith, in order to
weld together every possible or
ganizational form of anti demo-
cratic action in the coming battle
for democratic survival.
Those of us who recognize the
present struggle going on in
America must organize at once,
must gather our forces, must en-
list the aid of the majority of
Americans and smash this front
organization of fascism before it
is too late.

Some politicians are studying
a new way to make the Southern
Negro vote of no effect. 1t would
be a lot less waste of time to
spend the same money. effort, and
thought. in improving the Negro
voters education. The South
will never come into its own until
it practices utilizing the Negro.
This is the season when we
hear much about Back to School,
and much needs to be said. What
about making the schools better
for those who are going back,
Some Of the leading needs of
the Negro public schools are -
more rooms, more play and recre-
alton space, more teachers, more
attention to teaching and less to
money raising, greater insistence
on discipline and less on freedom,
few visiting teachers to increase
contact and understanding be-
tween the school and the home,
a little bigger portion of the
school fund to the Negro, and
liberalizing of the curriculum to
get into it some of the practical
needs of the Negro.
Recently a Negro applicant for
a position in the public schools
was told that the superintendent
follows at present a policy of con-
sulting the principals about APP
pointments to their schools. Con-
gratulations to the superinten-
dent. There could be no better
policy in appointments.
Everything that is happening
in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia,
and the Americas, has definite
but more or less apparent relation
to the Negro. Read until you

The recent exposures of waste,
graft, and inefficiency in connec-

seem to indicate that capital made

We only know what we read

Great Utopia is about to begin
for big business with larger
profits and less government con-

The time will be after Jan. /,

Look out for certain Senators
advocating wage cuts under the
leadership of Senator Ball of

years to break up unions, and
now wants to modify the Wag-

worth.
