NORTH 24TH STREET

The people who reside in the Near Northside community
and who must of a necessity use North Twentyfourth street
as their main thoroughfare, indeed have a sorry avenue to
do business upon.
The pavement along this street is in a d~eplorable condi-
ton. Holes filled with slushy, melting snow is in evidence
everywhere dirty paper, bottles and other debris Gtters
the street. Slowly, very slowly, does the t~rash-filled sewers
carry off drenching down-pours. Icy conditions prevail in
front of scores of vacant lots.
These and other conditions present a challenge to the bust
ness men and civic-minded people of the community.
There is no logical reason why one viewing Twentyfourth
Street North from Cunning, might exclaim in disgust "What

Los Angeles, (CNS) Latest mec-

green and red ultra-modern build
ing on West jefferson Street where
Wilmer James, gifted young color

ceramics business. She has a dis
tinctive line of products: colorful
flower pots, bowls, cigarette box
es, ash trays and so on-all selling
for extremely high prices in depart
ment stores, art shops, Alright
shops and home furnishing stores
in many parts of the world. Inter
ior decorators also use many of
the Wilmer James Ceramics. Miss
James line is different from that
of her partner, Tony Hill, who pro-
duces lamp bases.
The fact that their business has
been so successful commercially
never fails to atonish its founders.
In the beginning, Miss James took
up ceramics more or less as a re-
creation-just with the idea of do
something creative. She join
ed a class under Glen Lukens, in
ternationally noted ceramist, at
the Pueblo del Rio housing project
where she lived at the time.
Her work attracted attention at

THE COMMON DEFENSE BY Rev. VIM. Kernan
HUMAN RIGHTS

The Human Rights of the United Nation is currently eng
aged in writing a preamble to a proposed international Bill of
Human Rights.
Americans may wonder why there should be any difficulty
about that. They remember Jefferson's words in the pre-
amble to the Virginia Declaration of Rights, "'that all men are
born equally free and Independent and have certain inherent
natural rights, of which they cannot, by any compact, deprive
or divest their posterty.' They remember Hamilton's an
serw to DIR. Seabury, s'The particular aim of society is to pro-
tect individuals in the enjoyment of those absolute rights
which were vested in them by the immutable laws OF nature
Why, then, should it be an arduous task to draw up a Bill OF
Rights for the United Nations.
1t is because another idea man today possesses the minds
of many, and completes with the principleof human rights
which has found root in America.
1t is the totalitarian idea which disregards men as free in
dividuals and sees them only as part of a mass-a race, a
class. a religion. 1t is the idea which denies that men Is in
dividuals have any rights whatsoever against the State. 1t is
the idea which accounts for the cruel and inhuman persecu-
ton of the Jews by the Nazis, the deportation of slave labor
ers, liquidation of opposition parties by the Communists.
1t is the idea expressed by the Yugoslavian representative
on the United Nations Human Rights Commission. As sum.
med up by the American representative on that COMMISSION.
He said that 'n many of the Bills of Human Rights which
had been presented for study the emphasis was wrong be-
cause it was based on the rights of individuals, whereas the
new trends in the world made it impossible to consider indi-
viduals except collectively" y
This is the idea which has already enslaved millions-des-
troyed miIions-and today threatens the freedom of mil
lions more. 1t is an un-Christian, and un-American idea.
That is exiomatic and admitted. n.
But when we in this country refuse to judge our fellow
Americans on their merits as OF
their race, class creed, or color-when we exclude them from
our schools and colleges, our neighborhoods and factories
and sometimes even our churches-we are giving allegiance
to the un-American idea by regarding men in the mass rather
than as individuals. We are leading our strength to the un-
American idea which is today competing everywhere with the
American idea for controlling the minds of men. We are
helping to create an atmosphere can live and grow strong.
America needs great purpose-vigori in pursuing tin
nothing more than this: to embrace and hold fast to her an
Gent principle of individual human rights and, in accordance
with it, to put an end to racial and religious discrimination;
and to raise a standard Of human rights which all the wise
and honest of the world will acclaim.

Accordingly. in 1915, she and
Tony Hill went into partnership
and started a business in a garage.
Then they acquired an agent who
began to bring in orders which
grew bigger and bigger each day.
Then they established themselves
in a little cubbyhole on Arlington

rooms, with no display space and
no connecting door. The workers

for more and more work, the two
partners bought the lot on West
Jefferson and erected their W

Defense of HOW is 1T, then,
the Mind that we have been
caught mapping?
Have we not in times of confu.
sion at home and trouble abroad,
allowed doctrines to creep in
which would chain our minds and
shackle our bodies as well? Dis.
torting, misleading, boring from
within, state socialism at home

kind of curse that tyranny has al.

us think it all right to owe a huge
national debt to ourselves? That
security is something Congress
can hand out? That imitation Is

earn more by doing less?

ese, and not against Benton j. Strong
Negroes.
That does not
mean that there is no discrimin-
alton against the latter. There is.
But I fear that 1 see even some
elements in the colored race parti-
cipating in determinations against
Latin-Americans and Orientals.
The Mexicans and Japanese are
Denver's newcomers. These late
corners offer economic competition
in the labor field to the old settled
population, including Negroes, and
this condition has, as usual, given
rise to tensions which sometimes
flare into violence.
The situation in Denver is very
largely an outgrowth of an agri-
cultural matter.
A majority of the Latins came
here originally as farm workers, to
help harvest the sugar beet crop.
Many of them lacked funds to get
home when the harvest ended.
Some settled voluntarily. Many of
the Japanese, removed by the Gov
eminent from the West Coast dur
ing the war, likewise came to the
irrigation farming areas to find
seasonal farm work and a subsis-
tence. When the harvest was over
they could not go bcak West. They
moved to town.
Most of these new residents in
this area were either recruited to
come to the sugar beet filds to help
meet a national emergency, or
were ordered away from their
homes on the Pacific Coast. They
now want nothing but security.
like all the rest of US.
The problem will not be solved
by hot tempers. We can prevent
it from becoming increasingly in
tense by intelligent action on a
land policy in the United States.
We should stop the trend toward
large commercial farms, which re-
cruit. and move migrant workers,
and then cast them off. We should
encourage owner-operated family
farms throughout America, and
western lands should be developed
only on such a pattern. The Sou
them plantations, as cotton be-
comes mechanical, should be sim
ilarly converted to give people Sc
curity on the land, rather than to
drive them into cities and other
areas.
Meantime, a realization Of why
the nan next door is next door is
essential to eliminate our preju-
dices and our tendency to attach
blame to people who are actually
themselves victims of undesirable
social and economic forces

The Sanctity OF The Individual

A nation as well as an individ-
ual is known by what it believes.
The beliefs of totalitarian regimes
r clear to all. They believe in
the sanctity and supremacy of the
state and the complete subsurv-
fence of the individual. He Is but
a pawn. His work, his religion,
his home, his children are directly
under the control of his master
the state, and it's self appointed
rulers. He may read, listen to and
say only what they wish. Even
his beliefs are regulated and reg
imented.
The direct antithesis of this are
the beliefs of a democracy. based
as they are upon the sanctity of
the individual. The state is but
the composite convictions of its
citizens. He is no pawn-but a
free man, considered capable and
intelligent enough to govern him
self with due regard to the rights
of others. His laws are the traf-
