The largest gathering of col
ored people in America took place
when the National Baptist Con-
vention of America, Inc, DR.. D.
". Jemison, president, met in Phil
adelphia, September $40.
On the opening night Philadel-
phia's Convention Hall was crowd
ed to its more than $4,000 capacity,
and the program featured the
singing of a 1,00O-voice choir.
The Women's Convention Aux
iliary met in the spacious and
palacious Irvine Auditorium on
the campus of the University of
Pennsylvania. DR.. Mamie H. Bur-
roughs, president of the women's
group, often had to order the
doors closed as too great crowd
sought admission.
Other churches and smaller
auditoriums were utilized for
other segments of the host of Bap-
lists.
It is difficult for the casual OBJ
server to understand the work.
ings of great and peculiar people
like the colored Baptists in con-
vention. The preaching is usually
good, the singing very emotional,
sometimes cheap; the fervent
prayers sound like preaching, the
election is sometimes confused,
and there are heated debates that
often vanish into thin air as the
matters are referred to the Exec
utive Board for final cremation.
This parade and pageant is some
times meaningless. But to get a
conception of the real work of
the convention one must wait pa
tiently to hear the tedious and
lengthy reports Of the secretaries
of the various boards.
These reports are usually given
on the last days of the convention.
One hears of the 100000 yearly
budget of the Foreign Mission
Board, with fine hospitals and
schools in Africa, with churches
in the Bahamas, South America,
Africa and Okinawa, and this
boards sponsorship of the Japan
international Christian University.
One hears of the million dollar
publishing plant of the Sunday
School Publishing Board, the one
half million dollar sanitarium and
bathhouse at Hot Springs, Ark;
the American Baptist Theological
Seminary and Living School, the
Woman's Trade and Professional
School in Washington, D. c., and
many other projects undertaken
separately or jointly with other
Christian bodies, for the good OF
Christians and non-Christians here
and abroad.
The show is evident but the work
is there also.

What's the Origin?

@. Will you please explain the
word canter, the easy gallop of a
horse?-J. L.

land when bandits exacted tribute of
cattle, money or the like for the pro-
lection of villages.
@. What is the origin of the ex-
preston "by Jiminy"?-J. z. M.

Many shellfish do stay in a spe-
cial place, but even those which
seem to be the most helpless maJ
have ways of getting aroCnd.
The shellfish known as cookies
look helpless when We see them
with their shells closed. Let one OF
them open its shell. however, and
1t will show you that it can walk!
The walk is of strange type
"A kind of leg is pushed out max
ing the cookie rise Then it falls
Again and again this happens. and
there is motion because of the
"rise-and-flop" One rise-and-fall
may take this shellfish two or three
inches, and a dozen of them cover
two or three feet.
Cookies are sea clans. They are
of many sizes; some have shells
only half an inch long, but others
reach length of five or six inches
The largest ones live in the Pacific
and are called great cookies" They
are fairly common along the coast
of Southern California and on the
western shore of Mexico.
Cookies dig into the sand to hide
themselves during low tide. AS the
tide starts to come in, they leave
their hiding places and start to
move about. Some persons call the
motion hopping" The cookies can
60 across the wet sand fairly fast.
The so-called edible cookies" are
about two inches long. These have
become popular as sea food in some
countries, especially in Europe.

With nothing of late to encour-
age them on the home political

satisfaction in the near-defeat Of
the Attlee party. They find in it
a forecast Of things to come in
this country. This is the most
wishful Of thinking. unless they
can answer yes to the question:
Have they got a Churchill or any,
body remotely resembling him to
offer the people? Short on is
sues, just as the British Conserva-
tives were. they must have a man.
The nearest approach they've
had in recent times to the kind of
man they need was Wendell Will
kie. Off to stumbling start in
the 1910 campaign, he proved to
be a fighting fool once he had hit
his stride and so caught the pub
lie imagination that he had the
unbeatable F. D. r. seriously con-
cerned before the battle ended.
II the campaign had lasted a little
longer =?
What was it that beat the Re-
publicans when they thought they
were coasting in 1948? It was q
man. It was the one-time re-
ticent Vice President surprisingly
emerging as Give En- He'll Harry.
So the Republicans should be
thinking about a man. Who's got
the thing we used to call "it?"
Taft? Maybe so, but it's a new
idea. Stassen? Not since the
synthetic Dewey hung a hay
maker on his plastic chin. Eisen-

This Changing World
Reports on Russian Navy Development
Should Arouse Thinking Americans

American strategy has been di-
rected toward the development of
sure methods and weapons for the
destruction of the snorkel sub,
plans for which the Russians
took over from the Germans.
Although the Russians are
known to have many more sub
marines in operation than the
United States has. they are re-
ported to have projected an un-
dersea fleet Of 1000 submarines
But that is not all. Battleships,
with their terrific firepower and
ability to soften up enemy beaches
for amphibious operations, have
been added to the Soviet fleet and
aircraft carriers also are reported
to be included in the projected
building program.
If Russia is preparing the kind
Of navy it would need for amphib-
lous operations-with an eye to
an eventual invasion of United
States territory-American plan
ming must be turned in the direc-
ton Of defense against such op-
erations.
One Axiom Of War.
# Russia is going to have
battleships with which to lombard
the American coast as q prelude
to invasion, we must have battle
ships and aircraft carriers, whose
primary mission will be to seek
out and destroy the enemy fleet.
Although our own submarines
did splendid job in World War II
in breaking up Japanese fleet op-
erations, we must expect that the
Russians will be as able to break
up our submarine operations as
we were to defeat the depreda-
tions by the German submarines
off our coast in 1912.
One axiom of war which has
been heavily impressed on us is
that it Is the worst kind of think
ing to assume that the enemy is
inferior. For our own good we
must assume, If anything. that the
Russians can outdo us. Making
such an assumption we will put
forth a maximum effort in what
ever kind Of operations we under
take.
We should be grateful to those
Navy men like Admiral Louis Den
field who have had the courage to
stand up and resist the incursions
Of the other branches Of the serv-
ice and their sympathizers. We
must have a powerful Navy now
and will have to have a more
powerful one in the future. That
is truism which the master
minds Of our national defense
soon will have to recognize.

and for all the other holdouts
against unity.
Let Us Wake Up!
I have said this before but I
want to say it again. There seems
to be a widespread belief In this
country that there is a relatively
small group of men willing and
anxious to die for their country; a
group who, as doughfoots, wants
to freeze and shiver and get slugs
in their bellies: a group who, as
flyers, wants to streak to death
or injury in the skies; q group
who, as sailors, wants to freeze
in the oceans of the earth.
There are no such men. Even
the wildest-eyed kid finds war a
little too much to stand and prays
to get home. But unless this
country starts working as a unit,
faces the common danger with a
united front, a few million poor
devils are going to have to pay
the price for the selflshness or
stupidity or both of millions and
millions Of others. The next Pearl
Harbor will be dilly. Most Of
the major brains in the country
have prophesied that. It won't
be a handful of bombers coming
over, but terrific, all-out thrust
that will make front-line COM
batants Of even babes in their
cribs.
In the name Of the Lord let
this country make up and pray
while waking up that 1t will get
leadership that will keep it awake.

Case of i. N. BUILDINGS
Contributing Nations Unable to Get
Real Chance to Supply Materials

Yet foreign businessmen often
were and are low U. N. bidders.
They say that favorite explana-
ton offered them by the New
York firm handling U. N. con-
struction, Harrison & Abramovitz,
is that there would be difficulty
with the labor unions over
handling outside materials. This
is interesting since the labor un-
ions nationally are among the
most vocal ECA supporters.
Blunt Question Asked.
The British have been asking
the blunt question Of whether this
country really wants foreign goods
since its Seattle experience last
month. A leading British elec-
trical firm underbid its nearest
American competitor by q quarter
Of a million dollars on a new
Seattle power plant but lost out.
A taxpayers suit against the
Seattle purchasing agent may air
that situation in court.
Tariff minded Senators answer
to all this that full employment
here to insure stable America Is
the greatest contribution this
country can make to peace. Some
argue for outright dollar gifts
rather than trade concessions.
So far ECA has not felt i'm
PEELED to intervene decisively In
actual situations as before de-
scribed, though it continues to
preach that the dollar gap must
be closed. It is. Of course, q deli
cate matter.
ECA Administrator Hoffman
has proved a marvel of diplomacy
during the last two years. He has
lobbied Congress patiently, intelli-
gently and with good humor. He
has never been trapped into per.
sonal alteration with ECA critics
It does appear however that he is
going to have to press Congress tc
answer that question: Do We
want foreign goods or don't we?

to recon 81 d er Constantine Brown.
Americas retirement of many of
it's combat vessels. Now. however,
that Russia has created a sepa-
rate navy ministry-carrying out
separation of the services while
the United States is unifying-
Russian intentions to compete with
the United States in this field OF
war activity are clear.
Russia never has been a major
naval power and when it has tried
to operate on the high seas it has
met disaster. Which, probably, is
sufficient reason for the Soviet
Union-sensitive about its pre-
eminence in all fields Of human
endeavor-to feel itself compelled
to build a navy at least equal to
that which the United States
maintains.
Principles of Strategy.
The principles of naval strategy
which Admiral Mahan enunciated
half a century ago are still good
today. Come atom bombs, hydro
gen bombs and even worse, the
use Of the high seas for trade and
commerce will belong to that
power which is able to rule the
seas with its navy. Atomic bombs
may knock out an enemy, but the
occupation of hostile territory re-
quires the movement Of troops
and supplies on the sea. This, in
turn, requires positive control of
the seas.
Russian naval intentions, now
so clearly displayed, will force
American policy-makers to recon-
slider our defensive position with
respect to the size and kind of
navy which we keep in readiness
for emergency action.
Heretofore the chief Russian
threat on the seas has been re-
garded as the submarine and
