think it is about time that
the decent people of this nation
ask the men that they put into
office what will be done to wipe
out this menace to our society,
and secure to the colored people
their rightful place in this de-
mocracy.
For we will no longer stand to
be depressed and segregated
We must band together in this
fight to secure our place in this
republic.
Some colored people who have
achieved fame in their chosen
professions have been called
communists, because they uttered
their opinions on issues regard
ing the race. If these people be-
long to any communistic parties,
1t is because they have found
that they are accepted as equals
in theses societies, and are not
disseminated against because
they are colored.
We have come a long way, the
road has not been easy. And we
have a long way yet to go. But
in unity there is strength. So
lift up your heads and throw out
your chests and be proud that
you are a member of the darker
race. For we have a fabulous
history behind us of great men
and women, whose names I need
not mention.

the enforcement machinery Of

national security force has not
yet materialized. Does this
mean that the effectiveness of
the United Nations as an instru-
ment for the cultivation and pre-
servation of a peaceful world
has been destroyed
I believe that the answer is
emphatically no. The United
force with which to impose its

Is the one great hope for all of
us that the world will not be
consumed BY atomic warfare.
There is a popular tendency 70
take a somewhat cynical atti-
tude toward the United Nations.
This is because, in the turbulent
postwar period, the United Ma
tons has ben sid with so many
delicate, complex and explosive
problem and has not produced
definitive solutions for most Of
them. But if United Nations ac-
ton has not often produced de-
finitiye results and tidy deci-
sions, it has nevertheless always
dulled the dangerous edges of
the problems an dhas as least
eliminated them as frightening
threats to the peace of the world. |

has been heavily charged: each

ing threat to the peace of the
world. In each the tension has
been greatly eased as a conse- |
quence Of United Nations inter-
vention, and the threat to the
peace has been eithr Eliminated
or greatly lessend.
Because the United Nations is
functioning in this way, I am
optimistic about the prospects
for peace in the future. War. in
our day and age, is a product
Of the state OF mind of peoples.
If the generality of peoples are
i peace-loving and are determined
to live in peace-and I firmly be-
lieve that throughout the world
they are-the prospects of war
are remote. But it is not neces-
sary for people to be warlike.
to be wishing for war, to demand
it, in order that war will come
to their doQrsteps. It is fate
fully ironic that essentially
peaceful peoples may have war
thrust upon them only because
they have fallen into a fatalistic
state Of mind which persuades
them that for one or another. i
war is inevitable.
There is too much of that kind

world along it. For peace is
the business f the United Ma
tons. At times it is a pretty
grim business.
The United Nations was con
ceived in the throes of war
When the United Nations Con-
ference ON international Organ
izatio coyened at San Francisco
in the spring Of 1945 for the
purpose of lrafting the United
Charter neither Germany nor
Japan had yet capitulated. That
was in both east and west was
in its final, decisive phase.
It was inevitable, therefore.
that peace should be the ovr-
riding concern Of the delegates
to that historic conference. They
sought to devise an international
organization to succeed the Lea
que of Nations which would have
the achievement OF a peaceful
world as its most fundamental
objective, and which .gould pos
sess the means to give maximum
assurance against war or the
threat of war. They spoke Of
peace-loving peoples. They made
the desire to maintain peace
the basic qualification for mem
bership in the Organization.
They strove to avoid the weak
nesses of the League of Nations.
They were sick unto death of
var. They did not seek peace
at any price, but they were ager
to go very far to ensure it.
Thus the United Nations was
designed to prevent wars and To
stop them if unhappily they
should out. Elaborate
machinery for this purpose was
created. To this end the United
Nations was endowed with GER
tain enforcement powers and
was to have an International
security force.
It was recognized also that to
ensure peaceful world solid
foundations for peace must be

again and again called atten-

the ministers frankly admitted
