What Are You Going To Do?

picion or looked upon as patriot ism by colored girls; who had been made to feel unwelcome at col ored gatherings.
 Here, many of you will say Good! Now they know how we feel" But let's remember the Col. den Rule. For how can we expect to live in a peaceful unsegregate6 society with people whom wt hate? Many a colored child is taught from the cradle that "White folks don't mean you any good"; and that he should distrust all white people. Most of us don't realize that we as colored people also have a responsibility in breaking , down prejudice.
 I am not for a moment sug- gesting that we throw ourselves at white people. I'm not even say ing that we should take the first step toward friendliness. I do say, however, that when they try to know and understand us, we should at least put aside our hos tility and meet them half way.
 True, the white race has given us, and to some extent is still giv- ing us plenty of reason to be hos tile. Yet on the other hand, an increasing number of white peo- pie realize their past wrongs, and are ready and willing to make amends. Surely we will admit this if we are honest with ourselves.
 Think of our position now as compared with a generation ago. Think of the colored people who for the first time this year voted in the Democratic primaries in the South. Think of the change in the policy of the U. s. Navy toward our boys. Think of the in- creasing number of our young people in white colleges, (many of which are accepting us for the first time.)
 These are of course our rights as American citizens. But the fact remains that until recently we have been denied these rights. Now the white race is sorry. They are trying desperately to make amends. Are we going to hold on to our grudge, however? Can we afford to? We can't get along without them, so we may as we'll get along with them. Let's help them to help us. Let's join hands.

THAT MAN BILBO

To the editor
 I heartily agree with John M. Lees plain talk concerning Bilbo's defiance of law and order this man Bilbo is really a men ace to our American civilization to say the least. Sometime ago wrote U. s. Attorney General Tom Clark, relative to Bilbo and the Mississippi situation and the At torney General wrote me back that the Justice Department was watching Bilbo and Mississippi. As a great segment and factor of our American nation we have to be vigilant to guard our liberties which we have gained through great sacrifices and we must be on the alert at all times using every means at our disposal to reach the goal of full and com plete citizenship all over America. And one thing is certain: we can not achieve or reach these great objectives simply by praying, sing ing and preaching, but we have actually got to work and fight for the great liberties which we hold dear to our hearts.

 UN'S HOST By John Hope Franklin Gree World - Junel
By Samuel P. Perry, Jr.

| VoEt0 ~0nG
 The recent appeal of Southern
 demagogues to the baseness in human frailty - the flaming of the spark of petty, ill-founded prejudices into the blaze of racial hatred and contempt-must seem anachronistic to the members of the UNO, now groping in the maze of power politics, seeking a means to permanent peace and the preservation of fundamental human rights. With this thought in mind, MT. Franklin stressed the responsibility of the United States as host to the UNO, in seeing that the delegates of that organization are accorded privileges as individ- uals and representatives of their respective countries. ~
 'fSome of the delegates" it was averred, Twill be Jewish; oth- CTS will be Catholics; others will be Hindu; while still others will represent some other religions un- familiar to citizens of the United States. Liberia's delegates will ! be Negroes; India's delegates will have dark augmentation; and at times Russia's delegates may come from one of the many dark CT races which constitute a part of her citizenry. Despite our de- clarations in favor of equality and brotherhood, we have never been able satisfactorily to assimi- late the religious and ethnic groups within our borders"
 Next mentioned was the ques- ton of the delegates reaction to anti-Semitism, racial prejudice manifestations, the deprivation of the rights of citizenry Covert dis avowal of the principles of the UNO charter), and the likelihood of embarrassing situations if the delegates are refused service on the basis of color.
 To the delegates, MT. Franklin stated, such acts of utter disre- gard for the equality of other per- sons will be indicative of Ameri- can perpetuation of Nazi .oppres- sion and barbarity.
 Concluded the author, 'Iet UNS host give serious consider ation to it's significant role, and let the citizens of the United States make certain that they do not forfeit their advantageous po- sition of pointing the way toward real brotherhood and world peace"

FREE ENTERPRISE AND GOOD WAGES WILL INCREASE NEGRO ACHIEVEMENT

Tn the future, when those tire. less statisticians who measure ev' erything pertaining to human life and advancement, desire to show
 that the Negro has come long
 way, they will not probe the teem' ing masses of New York and Chi
 cago, but they will select instead one of the smaller American com
 munities like Columbus, Ohio
 From Columbus has come tht
 most encouraging report of Negro
 progress of the last century. Un usual in that it does not concerr itself with laws and statutes for. |bidding this, or granting that, the report is a strong argument in ia vor of free enterprise and fail play in the matter of wages anC employment.
 Comprising one-tenth of the city's population, the forty thou. sand Negroes of Columbus are ar integral part of the community In the words of A. P. Bentley vice president and general man. ager of the Preside Mutual Life Insurance Company, Negroes in this city are the best employed most substantial 'mid-class' ele. ment in the state"
 Free enterprise is an over. worked Americanism. It is indis. putably desirable ideal, but be. cause it has too long been associ |ated with big and sometimes mon opolistic business combines, it has
 been looked upon with suspicion by the masses of the American people. As a substitute, they
 have accepted the nostrums anc catchy sure-alls offered by the DO litical philosophers. In most Am ericans communities, Negro Am ericans are thwarted by prejudice
 discrimination, the force of mum bers and a childlike belief in whar
 the other fellow will do for them Communities Rife With Agitation Consequently most communi ties are seething beds of agitation and activities designed to bring tt realization the Utopian dream 0. social and economic equality
 There can be no quarrel with any attempt to build a community free of destructive racial animos ities so long as that attempt is nor
 being made solely to create ant keep dissension alive, but it ha!
 been proven time and time agair
 that the better way to improve the status of a race is to improve the status of the members wht comprise that race.
 Primarily, the individual is o1
 far greater consequence than the race he represents. For instance

BED REST OF THE TUBERCU.

BED REST OF THE TUBERCU. LOUIS
 One reason that tuberculosis is so feared is that people dread the long period of inactivity neces- sary to recover from tuberculosis. It is true that tuberculosis is a long-term disease - a disease which gains hold on the body slowly and which, unless disco vered in it's early stage, requires a long period for recovery.
 The sooner treatment is begun, however, the sooner will the di- sease, barring unusual circustan- ces, be arrested. The tubercu- lous patient who accepts the inevi- table and resigns himself to being inactive for a period of months is the wise patient and the one most apt to conquer the disease.
 The one essential element in the treatment of tuberculosis is rest - complete bed rest. No drug has yet been found which will cure tuberculosis or even ere ate immunity to it. The only cure is rest.
 Why is her rest so important? Because the only way to permit the diseased lung to heal is to keep it as inactive as possible. Sometimes this complete rest must be enforced by means of a therapeutic pneumothorax, which means collapsing the lung with air to keep it inactive. However. many doctors prefer to give na- ture a chance, with preliminary bed rest, to heal the lung before artificial aids are tried.
 When doctors say that the lung must rest, they mean literally what they say. They mean such complete rest that, if it is to be obtained, the patient must stay in bed. Any exertion, even walking around, makes the lung work har-

PLAIN TALK
By JOHN M. LEE

;n Columbus, it is more important TO know that Harry Alexander is the personal secretary of R. H. ] Jefftey, white chairman of the board of Jeffrey Manufacturing Co. than it is to know that unhap- py events often occur in the city's Burma Road" slum areas. Like wise, c. w. Bryant, head of a firm that moves buildings and heavy industry, and recognized leader in this field, is a stronger symbol of hope than are the "zoot suffers" who exhibit their way through life.
 Most of the heavy industries of Columbus often offers employ ment to Negroes. Columbus ho- tels employ Negroes in large num- bers. Negroes are employed in the six major trunk lines that serve the area, and salary levels are at the prevailing rate. The telephone company and the gas company hire a few Negroes in the labor classification, and de- partment stores discriminate com lpletely.
 Columbus Like Southern City In many respects, Columbus is no different from many communi- ties in the deep south. There are clements, such as street-car dis ] crimination and racial prejudice that might well have served to discourage and devitalize the Ne groes of Columbus, but they e1- ected to whine less and work a lot. They weren't handed any, thing on silver platter. They have achieved without benefit of tub-thumping by Labor groups and liberal reformers.
 Llewellyn A. Coles, editor and publisher of the Ohio State News, says: ~All has not been rosy for the Negro in the laboring field. It is on the lower levels that the Negro recently arrived here finds his troubles. Negroes are not employed by the Columbus and Southern Ohio Electric Company to operate trolley cars and buses. During the war there was a lot of buck passing between company and union. The CIO union has made a little headway here, but so far they have lodged the issue of Negro employment.
 There is nothing perfect in the report of the Negro in Columbus, Ohio, but it does go long way to prove a point. Despite prejudice and discrimination, the Negro can go further under a system of free enterprise. Some of the ingredi- ents of free enterprise are our daily personal habits, pride and respect for ourselves and others, respect for the rights of others, and an unswerving determination to work hard for everything we get.

LET'S JOIN HANDS
By Lola Gordon GA 17-Year-Od Girl Views the YWCA Conference)

IA 1I- edT-OO UlFl NicWS Luc YWCA Conferenee) The week of June 21-27 was an important episode, not only in my life, but also in the progress of race relations. For in that period the YWCA held it's annual Eastern Regional Conference at Camp Sloane, Lakeville, Conn. Here,
 teenage girls, colored and white, Jew and Gentle, tackled one of
 Americas most perplexing prob
 lems "Prejudice". We asked ques- tions frankly and answered them honestly concerning various minor ity groups.
 ''Do Jews believe in heaven and hell?"
 '4Do Catholics really believe they can buy souls out of purgatory ?"
 "Do Protestants have saints ?''
 Are Negroes more supersti- tious than other people?" The white delegates, many of
 whom had never before rubbed elbows with colored people, have learned quite lesson in Democ- racy to take home to their clubs and friends. They learned first hand, that there is no fundamen- tai difference between themselves and the colored girls with whom they ate and slept. They learned also, perhaps for the first time, the many contributions that the colored American has made to civ ilization in music, art, science, etc.
 But that is an old story to us. For the colored delegates at the conference there was a different thought to be taken home: the idea of joining hands with the white race. Just as we delegates, colored and white, joined hands around the camp fire, so can we all, all join hands.
 This thought is directed to those of our people (the older genera tion in particular, I'm afraid) who bitterly think, and say, and act, T hate white people, I had not fully realized before, the extent of colored prejudice against whites, and how conscious they were of it. Gases were cited by white girls whose attempts at friend ship had been viewed with sus-
