WAR has come twice to us within the span of our genera ton. We should individually and as a group encourage every hon. est effort to promote interna- tional good will. Unfairness, greed, hate, and envy are makers of armed strife, so part of our job is to combat those influences in national and international rela- tions.

Negro Population
Steadily Increasing
By Samuel P. Perry, Jr.

BOSTON-(ANP)-In a special
release from the local Office of the
bureau of the census it was re-
vealed that the Negro population
of the US. has been estimated at
l5,Ol7,OOO as of April, l947. This
figure is said to represent an in
crease of about 1850 300, or ll.6
per cent, over the 13,454, 405 fig
ure reported in April, 1910. AL
though, in the words of the re-
lease, this increase was much
smaller than the increase of g.
$4,000 in the white population,
the rate of increase was some
what higher than that of the
white population, which was
about rs per cent.
The rate of growth Of the non
white urban population since
April, 1910, has been reported
about 1877 per cent. This percent
age was substantially higher than
that of the white urban popula-
ton, about lO.l per cent. In the
south, the region with the larg-
est non white population in l947,
as well as in 1910, there was rela-
lively little change in the total
non-white population.
There is, however, evidence of
a pronounced shift of Negroes
from rural to urban areas in the
south. In the reminder of the
country, Negro population in
creased about 100000 or 59.2
per cent. AS a result, the proper
ton of the Negro population liv-
ing in the south declined from
l8-Spksmn 2O5l9 8-18 winger
about 63.5 per cent during the
seven years since the last census.
