VIEWPOINTS

I'VE have been invaded by an
army of agitators, seeking sup
port for the IL convicted Com
munists. Not one who called at
the reCtOries was of the Negro
race, and most of the marChers in
the recent welcome parade Cfor
Ben Davis) were not from Har-
lem. There were only 1000 in the
so-called parade, and their sole
purpose was the fomenting of
strife and discord. They are WISH
tors, the outside element, and the
Negro people of Harlem suffer the
evil reputation of their actions. !"
Statement on Communist dem
OnstratiOn in Harlem by pastors
of Catholic churches of Harlem,
representing 10000 parishioners.
Il believe the churches them
selves will have to be transformed,
for as they exist today they are
part of the materialism affecting
the world. The church that will
lead is the church that will build
the new brotherhood of man, that
will fight wars, oppose Creeds and
divisions. The disaster of Protes-
tantism, as churchmen now rea,
lie, was its breaking up into some
200 denominations" The Rev
John Haynes Holmes, retiring
pastor of New York's Community
Church.

Point Four of President Tru-
mans bold new program" calls
for the development of the natural
resources of "under-developed
areas" for the benefit of mankind.
There are four such principal
areas - BraziIs Amazon water
shed, Asiatic Russia, New Guiana
and Africa.
The last Is perhaps the richest.
II has everything necessary for an
advanced civilization -- diamonds,
gold, silver, iron, copper, platinum,
lead, manganese, uranium and
other rare metals, tremendous
water power as well as rubber,
cotton and the like.
Those who have been to the
Congo Museum In Brussels will be-
gin to get an idea of the vast nat
ural wealth of the Belgian Congo
alone.
In the high African uplands, as
in Ethiopia, are some of the fin
est of all wheatland. Professor
Valivov declared Ethiopian wheat
the finest in the world. In these
uplands may be found all the
northern fruits and products, as
apples and peaches, while in the
lower lands are all the tropical
ones as bananas, oranges, sugar
cane, cocoa. In the province of
Caffa, Ethiopia, are forests of cof-
fee growing wild. The Liberian
coffee-tree, for instance, is sever
al times larger than the Brazilian
and West Indian. All this coffee
is going to waste there while the
price keeps mounting here. To
these immense riches add the still
greater one of hundreds of millions
of human beings only awaiting the
proper instruction (even as the
most advance whites once waited)
to make of this so-called Dark
Continent an earthly paradise.
So there you are. while we have
Africa and other undeveloped
lands waiting to enrich humanity
the nations are fighting over the
dry bones of an almost used-up
Europe.
These nations remind me of
pigeons sometimes feed near
Times square, New York. l hold
out a hand full of peanuts and
they fly up for it but soon they
start fighting to see which must
get the peanuts. The more l see of
animals, the less respect l have
for the great political leaders. I
have seen tomcats on a fence
snarl and spit then start fighting
like leaders in a war.
