A. Philip RandoIp on
Passing Of Mahatma Ghandi

consider the death of Nah
alma Ghandi at this hour as a
major world calamity especially
for the world of color. His life
and philosophy constituted the
soundest approach and method for
the solution of the problems of
the darker races that have yet
developed. His doctrine of non
cooperation and civil disobedience
are challenge to the oppressed,
teeming millions of people of color
everywhere. The employment of
these spiritual and psychological
instrumentalities for the solution
of the problems of colored people
requires of course the highest
form of internal discipline and
courage and answering devotion
to truth and reality.
| mourn the passing of Ghandi
as one of the great prophets
of the world, and the greatest
living spirit of these times. His
belief in and conservation to sac
rifice and suffering for the deliv-
erance of the common people from
the yoke of imperialism, exploita-
ton and wrong stand out as a
great beacon light for the guild
ance of mankind toward a better
world of tomorrow. Ghandi was
truly a man of peace and good
will. His very life is symbol
of struggle for freedom and justice
without violence. No social pro-
blem has ever been solved by
the gun, sword and blood. This
is lesson to modern civilization
now threatened with destruction
by atomic science.
