Will You Stand By?

Abraham Lincoln admOnished the people at the end of
the Civil War. In the words of the Great EmanC-paiOr:
'Let us STRIFE to finish the p0ork 10 are in: to bind up
the nations mounds, to care for him loho shall hare
borne the battle, and for his uidOpU and for his orphan
TO do all tctich may achieUe and cherish a just and
lasting peace among ourselves and pUifh all nations
Lincoln could see, as we do now, the STRINGS of other
interests. Money and jobs and the newest inventions de-
mand attention, once the fighting has stopped.
But war doesn't leave an area we can build a fence a.
round and forget. This war left us with the atomic bomb.
1t left us, too with the soldier who must spend weary months
learning to get along with a paralized back the veteran
who must catch up somehow with the years he lost while
patrOlIing the Pacific the MP who must walk the streets
of Berlin carrying a sub-machine gun.
We, as individuals, cannot stop the business of life TO
help all these men; but their happiness, and ultimately
ours-depends on making them available.
During March, the American Red Cross will appeal for
support of its annual Fund Campaign. 1t Appeals on the
basis of continuing need for services to the armed forces,
and the veterans, with added emphasis on the need of adj
vancing its health, safety and disaster preparedness pro-
gram. Your contributions will be your way OF standing
by when the ned is great.

TRUE CHRISTIANITY

TRUE CHRISTIANITY
Everyone who is familiar with the subversive movement
in this country knows how some INSCRIPTIONS persons
have tried to throw the cloak of Christianity over their
antiSemtic propaganda. Genuine Christians, clerical and
lay, have always condemned this blighting deception.
Most recently Mr.. Jack Wyrtzen, President Of the
YOUTH FOR CHRIST movement, made the following state
meni, on the radio, ''On several occasions of late. it has
been brought to my attention that the YOUTH FOR
CHRIST movement has been accused of being ~antiSemtic
and L felt led tonight to make a statement that might settle
this issue once and for all in the minds of the general pub
lie.
Frankly, we believe that one of the greatest evils we of
YOUTH FOR CHRIST must keep from gaining ground in
America is the vicious and depraved doctrine of anti-Sem-
itism which has brought 50 much misery to the world. This
goddess and un-Christian hate movement was exploited by
the Nazis to divide the people of Europe and to finally en-
slave them. War, devastation and moral bankruptcy was
the result. We in America must be on guard against the
peddlers OF this poison if we want to keep America not only
free aid safe but also Christian. With all the v.gor at my
command | say that antiSemitism is a menace to our coun-
try and our religion.

OUR BIGGEST FIGHT since pre-CiviI War Days has
been for equality. We have asked for and campaigned
for all kinds of equality such as social equality, economic
equality, political equality, equality of opportunity, etc. In
some places we have made a dent in the solid wall of OPP
position; in others, we have been merely butting our heads
against stone. Meanwhile, the act of fighting for an OBJ
tanning equality has developed into a well-paying business
career for many people, both white and coored and lately,
schools have been giving courses in race relations SO as TO
prepare more and more personnel for this flourishing pro-
fession erected on the inability of people to forget racial,
religious and color differences and concentrate on bring
ing into being the brotherhood of man.
To date, no one has come forward with a suggestion that
perhps we hive been hitting the oapposition from the wrong
angle; that our technique may have glaring. flaws in our all
out battle to better our condition. Our fight for equality
is based OF the assumption that the white man make us his
equal. From this standpoint, we have been praying to him
exhoring him over the decades to elevate is from the sta
tus of second class citizens-in those places where we are
rated as citizens-to the same plane or level with him. We
approach the problem on our knees, with the attitude that
we have done something wrong somewhere and that we are
now and have been begging forgiveness and requesting that
we be restored to a former level in rank akin 70 that of
lhe Great White Father" On our contention, we act as
though we had committed some great crime and had fallen
from the good graces of the world.
This column doesn't agree that We should beg the. white
man TO make us his equal in ANYTHING. In tne hrs. p44,~

The last "Soiree Intime" of the

the occasion to hear three artists
of exceptional talent-Rilla Rowe,

pianist, and Stanley Weiner violin
list. The Carlton Room of the Carl
ton Hotel, where the event was held,
last night was an attractive setting
for the concert and impaired an at
mosphere of intimacy. At the same
time, the acoustics are not the best
for music, having a dampening eff

In spite of this, Miss Rowe was
able to impress her listeners with
the beauty of her voice and her
skill in using it. She is a singer who
should 60 far. for she has a vocal
quality that is distinctive and un-
usually pleasing in its freshness and

 Reports circulated that top gov- ernment pressure might be exerted to postpone the walkout, expected to exhaust the country's meat sup ply within week.
 Union officials, however, said plans were complete to carry out the strike threat. CIO packing house workers in the Chicago area met for 8 final pep meeting last night.
 A daylong conference session, headed by Edgar L. Warren, D. s. Cancellation director, ended at II p. m. last night with no agreement in sight. $
 However, Warren said he was hopeful that agreements reached yesterday with 10 independent packers might lead the way to a settlement between the unions and the so-called ''big four" packers.
 The independent companies, with s plants across the country, agreed with the CIO union and the Amal- gamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Worimen (AFL) on a l5-cent hour ly wage increase.

 'TranquiL'

Buenos Aires, Jan. l5-(UP)-Pri- vate industry's lockout in protest to the governments decree ordering bonus equalling a months pay and wage increases to all workers moved into its second day today with near ly all of Argentina's commerce and industry paraly0ed.
 The only business places open in Buenos Aires were small cigarette stands and the large municipal mar ket controlled by the government.
 Some meat markets opened yester- day because they had ordered sup plies before the lockout decision was taken but they joined in the general closedown today.
 The lockout was scheduled to end at midnight tomorrow. It may be extended if no agreement is reached on the bonus-wage decree or if au- thorities use force.
 Interior Minister Col. Felipe Urd- apilleta told newsmen last night there was tranquility" throughout the country and that many mer- chants had requested guarantees which the government was ready to give for those wishing to reopen their businesses.
 He did not specify how many re- quests had been made and there was no indication of any openings un- der government guarantees.

Substitutes For Meats
 Fair.
By United Press

Housewives will find enough poul- try, eggs, and fish to keep going for nearly a month if the impending meat strike breaks out on schedule tomorrow.
 A United Press survey of the ma jor cities disclosed that a packing house strike would shut oil meat supplies within a week to civilian consumers, but that meat substi- tutes are at an all-time high.
 The Department of Agriculture in Washington reported that meat supplies in storage probably would be stretched over a seven to To-day period. Poultry stocks are at near record levels, the department said, and fish supplies are fair" Cheese products, however, are inadequate for even normal needs.
 Inland Center
 Hardest hit by the meat strike would be the inland meat centerS, where retailers already reported a pre-strike buying spree. Denver packing officials predicted the city would be practically meatleSs" two days after the strike.

London, Jan. IS (UP) - Russia strongly supported today a demand of the newly formed Federation of Trade Unions to become the 18th member of the United Nations Economic and Social Council, with the right to vote with the member nations.
 The Soviet positive on the Trade Union membership was revealed in the Assembly's general commit tee meeting. IL was supported by the Ukraine. The situation raised a major question of principle - whether an organization should be admitted to UNO organs on the same basis of equality as states.
 The WFTU also was demanding the right to. have representatives sit ln the UNO Assembly in a consultative capacity.

 Both demands met vigorous 0p- position and appeared destined to revive the UNO controversy over the International Labor office. Of which the Russians never have been members.
