Peace"
He's not so sure we are
winning the struggle for the
world. "At wars end" he
writes, hundreds of millions
of wretched and frightened
men seeking to free them
selves from colonial and feud-
al shackles had looked to us
for encouragement. When we
withheld it, the shrewd So
Wet agents made capital of
our uncertainty. We had more
to offer, far more than the
Russians; not only material
advantages, but a high human
itarian and democratic tradi-
ton"
We withheld that encour-
agemeDt, to our great cost.
Carr says that in the political
climate of the postwar era,
"No American president could
hope to bid against Stain for
leadership of the grow wing
force of discomfort in the
world and keep his hold on
the Congress and the public"
So resentment of America
has grown the world over,
but especially among the Asia
tics, and the Communist have
flooded the world with propa-
ganda. How well we can an
swer that propaganda will de-
eide our fate. And every vic
tory in the fight against dis
elimination in American is
one answer.

World Fight
Is For Mems
Minds, Hearts
BY BRADFORD v. CARTER

HI OhhSAOW w WoohhiSJO1l, bAhS
nations capital, 800 men and
women celebrated milestone
the other day in the long fight
against discrimination. The
guests were men and women,
of diverse color, religion, and
racial origin = but imbued
with the same faith.
The local papers sent no
representatives. The wire ser
vices paid no heed. The ma
tons important papers have
representatives here, = b u
none were present and none
noted the event.
And yet, the victory the 800
celebrated, though little noted
at home, will have its effect
on millions abroad - in Asia,
in Africa, in South and Cen
trail America. For it is another
weapon for democracy to use
in the war that has engulfed
the world = the war for mems
hearts and minds, for their al
legiance. And it is on the out
come of such a war, and not a
shooting war, that the fate of
the world depends.
What were they celebrating,
these 800? Seemingly, a little
thing = the elimination of the
color line in organized bowl
ing in America. But when the
100000 member American
Bowling Congress was forced
by the group these 800 rep
resented to i'm n a te its
"whites only rule, it meant
the end of a 34-year-old radi-
cal bar. And during those "a
years, hundreds of thousands
of youngsters were infected
with the poison of racial dis
elimination.
The Communists have capi-
talized on the bowling ban,
as they have on every other
manifestation of discrimina-
tion in America. And when
they show the millions of col
ored people in the world that
America discriminates, those
millions will not put their
faith in us.
So the defeat of bigotry in
bowling is a symbol. AS Walt
er Reuther put it, "At the top
of Democracy's agenda is the
struggle to end discrimination.
When we discriminate we give
the forces of tyranny a weap-
on. Unless we make freedom
universal, we who enjoy it
may not continue to enjoy it.
Until we destroy this ugly
thing, discrimination, our eneo
mics have a weapon we can
not see. We will be judged by
the rest of the world by our
ability to develop moral and
spiritual force"
AS Jim Carey put it, "We
can ill afford to be compla-
cent. Much remains to be
DONE" Ben Epstein said pre-
judice against one minority
group strikes at all minority
groups. We cannot afford pre-
judice. The whole world is
watching U.S." Walter White
called the victory another
important milestone"
The dinner was given by
the National Committee for
Fair Play In Bowling, and
awards went to a Catholic,
Negro, a Jew, and a Protes-
tant-Philip Murray, presi-
dent of the CIO and the United
Steelworkers; Walter White,
