The New Year.!
PRICE I V CENTS

The outlook for the New Year, 1861, is not too
good, not too bad. AS we enter into the New Year, tens
of thousands of Americans are fighting a war of contain
ment in a corner of the world which, at the beginning Of
1850, was little more to us than another pawn on the
chess board of world politics. Heavy war clouds also hang
over the Continent of Europe but we can find surcease
in the determination of those nations which are truly
united to stand together against the enemies of right and
justice and prevent, at all cost, a third World War.
We will be called upon to make more sacrifices to
support a war machine which we have at long last come
to realize is our hope of survival in a world gone mad
with the lust for blood and power. We can be reasonably
assured that these sacrifices will not be in vain, for they
are made to the end that our children, and our children's
children can live in a world free from fear of war. No
sacrifice is too great if this end is to be accomplished.
The New Year promises Americas Tenth Citizen
The Negro-the- usual uncertainties. While he reflects
upon the progress he has made in the past year, he must,
nevertheless, grid himself for disappointment in 1851.
For the straws in the political winds indicate a shelving
of President Truman's Civil Rights program for the sake
of expediency. But the Negro need not dispair; he can
make the most of those laws that have been passed by de-
manding that they be enforced to the letter, and as in the
past, he can keep up the fight for complete democracy in
education, employment housing and other areas of the
national life.
None of us can forsee what lies ahead in 1851. But
all of us can resolve to do our share in the effort to bring
peace on earth in the hearts {: men; for until there is
peace and justice for ALL men, there will be no peace
and justice for any man. Let us, then, resolve that this
will be the year in which we shall work for peace-in our
homes, in the community, in the nation and throughout
the world. And let us mean it from the bottom of our
hearts when we wish our fellow man -.
