went to look for my loyalty this morning, and couldn't find it. searched everywhere for it, and it just wasn't there. Strange.

 Perhaps | had left it in Africa. ' had always been deeply interest cd in Africa, and anxious to visit my people there. During two ex- tended trips into the interior of the Continent I had come, to know many fine African men, women and children: they had welcomed me with open arms, warm hOspi- tality, and kind of family af- lection, as if to say:

THE BELL TOLLS
Bv LEONARD H. BELL

The bloody race rioting in Dur
ban, South Africa can be laid di-
rectly at the door of native-hater
Prime Minister Malan, whose aim
from the beginning of his regime,
has been to completely segregat ,,
! deprave and retard the progress,
of all non-whites.
The presence of Indians in
South Africa has been bitterly
fought. Could it be because ii.
average intelligence of the South
African Indian is above that of
the native Zulu? Or is it because
of India's newly acquired freedom
and the steady intellectual ad-
vances being made by Indians?
Perhaps India, with her recently
won autonomy and United Nations
representation could have proven
to be mighty force toward the
eventual emancipation of the ma
tive South African, if they had
been allowed to remain friends.
Certainly, Mr.. Malan did not de-
sire this to happen. His nordic
desire for power and racial SUI
periority is too great. So great,
in fact, that it is Hitler-like.
One only needs to turn back,
the recently printed pages of In
dian history to read of the terrible
bloody conflict between Hindu
| and Moslem, fannedtinto flame by
British agent in vain imperialis-
tic effort to stay the granting of
India's independence. For when
colonials riot and slay each other
they are uncivilized and must
be further restrained and subject
ed to further civilizing influences
by their masters. Jewish efforts;
to obtain Israel peaceably met
with the same tactics, resulting in
bitter strife and warfare between
once good neighbors-Jews, and
Arabs.
The continuing riots in Durham
are ample proof that Mr.. Malan
is an astute student of British i'm.
perialism
This move of his regime to SOW
the seeds of hatred among the
fierce Zulus so that the smallest
incident could cause them to riot

We believe the flbuster can be broken such is really
the will of the Senate The best is to the

piece of hair splitting The controlling opinion of both par

We say let the fight go Allow the Southerners to
talk until they drop and give them aid The Republican
stand civil rights is historic the Democrats amid
internal convusion also got around to unequvoca state

against the Negro and any other minority is out of the
question unless the Senate fbuster placed under work

BASIC PRINCIPLES

Leaders of both races must stick
to basic principles if they want
action now leading to interracial
justice. They must remember:
I-God is the center of His uni
verse.
II-God's universe is OPERAT-
ED by GODS LAW. (Matt. 5:17,
1S).
Stars moving in outer space,
passengers sitting in street cars,
sparrow falling to the ground
all are operating according to
Gods law (Matt. 10:29).
The stars and the sparrow must
obey Gods law. But street car
passengers can set aside Gods
law for time, to their own
doom.
1t is only by bringing our laws
into line with Gods law of love
that we can take action now to-
wards bringing Gods Heavenly
Kingdom on earth.
