UNITED We STAND, DIVIDED We FALL! !

In two recent issues of the ARIZONA SUN, articles
concerning the present state of affairs of Negroes in Phoe
nix have been discussed somewhat proand-con-e two
articles under NAACP headings and an article entitled
The People Speak,. We feel that the Arizona Sun owes
it's readers in the community appraisal of this mpor
tant controversy 1t is the duty of this column to be as
fair and unbiased possible to both sides in such evau
alton. -
An announcement was made Friday, April 18th
concerning NAACP sponsored public taxpayers, par
ents and citizens meeting for the following Friday In
the opinion of the Sun better type of meeting could
be planned in honest effort to acquant the Negroes
them at the present time. However n-as-much
equal educational facilities in the school SYSTEM lack OF
public places topics to be discussed it would have
been point of wisdom on the part of the entertaining
especially the principals of three Negro schoos) and
physician hospital employee acquainted with the sta
tusquo in local hospitals in order that they could have
NAACP and Urban League leaders would have suffced
authorities discriminatory practices for they
than any others in the community have attempted to
combat discrimination.
It is gratifying to know that the inquiry made "Do
all of teachers have to from Georgia 2? not
referring the many local teachers who have migrated
to Phoenix from southern states and already in
educational system (See page of this issue) Both
writer's in the controversy readily acknowledge
the fine quality of work and laudable achievements of
We concur With the writer's that local persons should
not be overlooked prospective effort to obtain the best
teachers possible Negro children should not only be
permitted without undue criticism but should be
aged regardless of the section of the country from which
such teachers to come.
We are very happy to learn that the NAACP man
aged to secure admission to local heater for two
of race but we would be happier to learn the
of the theater to which these two colored
admitted. Their fight to break down discrmina-
ton certainly to benefit the of Negroes
who yet wondering to which theater the article of
April 18th referring.
The motto, "United stand; divided we fall",
should be planted in the minds of every Negro citizen
We cannot reach the ultimate ends toward which all
are striving. We must unity efforts and fight
entessly to obtain the equaltes which all of know
are the privileges of all in the community Personal
ambitions and prejudices within group be

and bears fruit hundred fold.
There is no one hundred per
cent efficiency in love. There is
only a probable fraction of one
percent. But from this comes the
most amazing truth in the world,
that in spite of its apparent waste
and uselessneSs in so many in
stances, love is still the greatest
known power and from generation
to generation grows apace.
For this reason no man has a
right to judge the effect of his
good will or his righteous conduct
by results.
To live the higher life is not at
all amateur of mathematics or
intelligence or any kind of knowl-
edge. It is a matter of faith.
It is matter of confidence in
those higher cosmic laws which
only great souls can see.

Adam Hats To Feature Union Label

A policy of featuring and active
ly promoting the Union Label has
been instituted by Adam Hats,
Americas largest retailer of mems
hats. Max Zaritsky, president of
the United Hatters, Cap and Mil
linery Workers Union, making the
announcement, cited the step as
IAN extension of true leadership
which may well set a good-neigh-
Dor pattern for union-retailer re-

MINORITY GROUP
AFFLICTED With
HALLU(INATI0N5
Guest Editorial)

The state of Arizona, compares
very favorably with that of other
states of the union, in that many
minority groups resides within her
bounds. I find Arizona, quite lib
eral and fair to minority groups
as compared with many other
states, especially those of the deep
and highly dispecable south. A
close and an impartial study of
minority groups in Arizona; re-
veals the astounding fact, that
with a few exceptions, the Afro
American, (from an economic, fl
nancial and material stand point)
wallows (seemingly perfectly sat-
isfied in the lowest pits of in
security, poverty and general in
sipidity, of all other groups. This,
in spite of liberal educational fa-
cilities.
Our very lamentable status in
Arizona and elsewhere is the re-
suits or a recoil from the fact
that we (the writer included) are
being quitely, yet, firmly, rocked
to sleep in a cadle of Incidence,
inertia, quiescency and a hoax
spiritual opiate. The victom or
victoms of such state of mind,
are rendered immune from the
pains of humiliation, gross insults
ostraciSm etc. etc. With us; shot
in the arm easily washes away all
racial or group injustices. Re-
peated shots in the arm, result in
a paralysis of the sinews of origin
ality, thrift, ingenuity, initiative
and gotoitiveness.
The progress of race or group,
must never be eXemplified, in
terms of churces, fraternity halls,
dance halls, grog shops, pig ankle
Joints nor Bar-B-Q pits. Only
what will the race have gained if
we built a church on every knoll
and dell, from the southern part
of Canada to the Gulf of Mexico
and from the Pacific to the Allan
tic, and then die and go to hell at
last? Today; we are barely ex-
isting on afalse and much pre-
verted hallucination. Stop; look
and compare your humble status
with that of other minority groups
nearby. All minority groups are
growing fat and prosperous and
laughs at the stupid inertia of the
Afro-American. I fear and predict:
that without a sharp and hurried
awakening, on the part of the
Afro-American, our grandchildren,
will be born on a reservation, as
