'RFC, in addition t ohandling its own small business
loans, has also serviced all SWPC loans, MIR. Henderson
pointed out. ''The 81 RFC Regional Loan Agencies, from
February 81, 1912, through December 8 last-a period

'It is a guiding principle Of RFC in keeping with the
mandates of Congress to cooperate closely with banks. An
applicant for a bushes loan is referred by RFC to his local

distribution of a recently ISSUED fold
er ridiculing the Negro. In a letter
signed by Lester B. Granger, the
Lagu'se Executive Secretary, the
attention Of the Airlines President
was called to the Unusually stupid
and clumsy fashion, in which the
Negro has been cartoonized. The
folder, a public relations piece, pre-
senting a line drawing Of a Negro
messenger carrying a tray and speak
ing dialect, was used at the opening
of the Airlines downtown New York
office, and has already been rather
widely distributed.
The League letter emphasized that
1t has been a long time since any
important business or industry has
had the effrontery to portray Ne
groes in this manner" and called
attention to the Negro veterans who
gained experience in the Army Air
Forces, now looking to air lines sys.
TENS for plotting and technical jobs
for which their Army-learned skills
have qualified them. Your com
pany's %caricature places an addition

stated, and handicaps the efforts of
such organizations as the National
Urban League"
American Airlines officials, ans
wering the protest, gave assurance
that no offense was intended, ano
stated that plans for distributing
the folder had been changed.

Three main struggles in contemporary history vastly af-
feet American relations among Protestants, Catholics and
Jews.
irt is tn estruggle between those who wish to rely ,ex-
clusively on each nations sovereign strength for security.
and those who are fighting fir on international organic
alton with granted powers. If democracy can DE applied
worldwide among nations. there is the chance that the
Commission on Human Rights, established at San Francis
co, will make those rights actual, everywhere. In that E.
vent some of the causes of rancOr, fear and hostility would
be lessened in the America theatre. of intergroup conflict.
Second is the struggle between economic groups, and
btween schools of poIitico-economic philosophy. Social
scientists have found that prejudice has a high correlation
with unemployment and poverty. To the extent that ex-
treme economic suffering can be banished, and evils of un-
fair competition eliminated, one of the greatest causes for
intergrOup hostility will disappear.
Third is the struggle in American intereroup relations.
On the one side are those who are discovering that the A.
mericna revolution must be applied to groups. every
GROUP has the inalienable right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. Opposing this view are the chauv-
inists and jingoists who, never catching up with Washing
ton, Jefferson and Lincoln, still think their group must
dominate.
To translate this revolutionary idea of democracy a.
mong groups is an educational task of first magnitude.
The National Conference Of Christians and Jews works on
the principle that it involves three steps:
l. Each group must become acquainted with the aims
and purposes of the other groups.
2 Members of each group must be made consciously
aware that they have some aims in common with all the
other groups.
3. Individuals of each group must develop habits of
cooperation with citizens of other groups on these COM
mon aims.
When our nation needed a weapon that would determine
who would win the war, it put 600 scientists to work. The
atomic bomb was produced.
II Americans really want to iaaugurate a new era in hui.
man relations, they must suaamon the scientists, the edu-
Gators, the public leaders and the churchmen to produce a
new weapon, a weapon Of the spirit and of the mind.
The disease of hate in human relations can be elimin.
ated from our society in a single generation. 1t reduces
itself TO a problem of research, direct action and hygiene.
1t is a big job. 1t calls for big leadership, and the use
of all the resources of science, education and religion. 1t
must be done on a national scale.
The present situation is appalling. But Americans can
change attitudes and customs involving intergroup rela-
lions, just as they are changing the thinking, feeling and
customs on international relations. We can build an "a
merican Brotherhood of Citizens which would be an army
OF men of goodwill against hate. and for cooperation.
