some Negroes regard 1t a. q solu-
ton to the Negro problem, It
creates q cleavage Of greater
significance among Negroes than
among whites" (ps3)

TO the cultural achievements Of

sciOus assumption on the part Of
Negroes that race Is important
for achievement" Up. 92)
"(NegroesJ have become aware
Of events throughout. the world
which affect them" Up. 144)
At times his ability TO cope with
his subject Is revealed in incon-
sistent statements:
a.. whites are more inclined
to select a light Negro. whites
do not always select Negroes on
the basis of light color. 49, Up.
63)
-. light Negroes are becom-
ing relatively fewer in number.
-" Up. So so many Hght-slSin-
ned Negroes are born every year
...." Up. 93)
"A significant proportion of the
dance bands in the country are
composed Of Negroes" Up. 81
Further. he shows his blurred
vision on Negro life today through
his belief that people like Adam
Powell, Mordecai johnson, and
Benjamin Mays are national
leaders" From the point Of view
Of a select group Of white people
this may be so. but in terms of
reality, there are millions of
black Americans who have never
heard OF these people. Were DR..
Rose TO test his thesis among the
masses of Negroes in the rural
South and-in the cities, too -
and the thousands of colored mi
grants on the Pacific Coast, he
would be amazed to find how
wrong he Is. Individuals like Jemi-
son the Baptist leader, Mrs. Beth
une, and Congressman Dawson are
acclaimed more widely as real
race spokesman.
Since the author has achieved
some prominence as a student OF
Negro life in American society, II
Is difficult TO excuse him for max
ing these and other errors. One
of the major faults of white
savants and non-Negro interpre-
tiers of the Negro Is they try to
cOmprehended a complex group
with u multitude Of internal pro-
blems and differences without act
ually experiencing life among
them. Without doing this and
keeping abreast OF recent htera-
ture and data on the subject, II Is
impossible to have any real under
standing of the dynamic changes
that have taken place today or to
interpret current trends In terms
of their significance.
To assess the real value Of this
work presents something Of a pro-
blem. Negro morale Is a difficult
subject TO analyze. as would be
any factor which Is a combinA-
ton of socio-economic and histori-
cal-psychOlogical elements. Being
Intangible in character, the status
of morale may be just the opposite
Of what II appears. Yet, in spite
of the errors Of Interpretation and
judgement, regardless Of the mac
curacies. and Inconsistencies, the
author has produced a helpful
book. II Is a succinct statement Of
the problem and sharply incisive
position Of the Negro in American
society. II publiciEes a fact Of
which too few whites and many
Negroes are aware: They no
longer take It lying down. -.
The Negroes aim is fun achieve
ment of democracy and its COM
comitAnts liberty, equality and
fraternity"

~PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti CA
Mp The first attempt at mass
eradiction of the Yaws, an econo-
mically and physically Gripping
disease indigenous to Haiti and
many tropical countries in the
western hemisphere, was launched
here this week by a team of 40
t~echnicians and medical supervi-
sors.
The program, utilizing a cone
shot penicillin injection treatment
is expected to cover the entire
horseshoe-shaped Caribbean re-
public. TIL project is a joint eff
fort of the Haitian government,
the World Health organization Of
| the UN and the UN International
Children Emergency fund.
The use of the one-shot treat
ment is based upon clinical evid-
ence that the disease is suscepti-
BILE to one injection Of procaine
penicillin in oil with two percent
aluminium monostearate. The
pattern set by this campaign is
expected to provide means for
similar methods in other under-de-
veloped countries throughout the
world.
The disease is usually contract
ed in early childhood by close con-
tact. The offending carrier is a
micro-organism known as "tre-
ponema pertenus" which when
spread among young adults has

/. l saw God n day while
looking at a television in open dis
play: I could feel Him and also
see Him while viewing this marve-
lous feat, and my soul was highly
lifted with a glorious spiritual
treat.
2. To see persons performing,
both near and far for miles
around, their every act technical
ly recorded with name and sound,
could only be regarded a thing
most profound.
3. And as I looked with amaze
ment at this unbelievable thing,
thoughts began to pull me heaven
ward toward my Almighty Great
or and king.
4. Then I began to match the
skill of an infinite God and this
frail finite inventor, and to be
sure there was no comparison : no
not one way or another.
S. For the answer came quick
ly as I became spirit possessed that,
If God could give such intelligence
to a mere creature like this, He
could both hear and answer my
prayers instantly, with no force
able to resist.
6. Thus I got a new hold on my
Maker that day as | clamored to.
ward Him in spirit and pushed al
doubt away, and made a definite
promise that ever there | woulo
stay.
7. Then l saw Him SO much
nearer, Omnipresent, Omnipotent
sharing with me all of my burdens
and revealing the way to be con.
tent.

great laws and commandments

This and That

The man on the bus, well dressed, and
obviously well bred, was as obviously
asleep.
The motion of the vehicle had
soporific effect.
His head sagged onto the shoulder of
the elderly lady next him.
With startled look, she gave him
shove.
The man stirred uneasily.
Excuse me, honey" he said.
The lady at first was shocked.
Then the hunor of the situation
struck her.
She began to smile, and finally laughed
out loud
After all, all that had happened was
that the sleepy gent had mistaken her
for his wife.
There are certain streets which give
an undulating motion to vehicles.
This is due to some sort of fault, per-
haps, in the laying of the concrete.
Many persons, however, need no such
rocking motion to put them asleep.
Like babies, they fall into slumber al
most the moment one stops talking to
them.

wider awake than ever.
Many persons go to sleep quickly, but
wake up too soon, and lie the rest of the
night thinking.
In such situations, the most valuable
asset is the ability to make the mind
complete blank.
This can be done, with little prac-
tice;; probably most persons would think
it should be no problem at all, for the
other fellow
Some do not require the traditional

window the next morning.
He wanted to be sure to be awake,
and did not trust any inside influence,
not even his alarm clock.
The morning came, and this sleeper
slept on and on.
When he finally issued out, there was
the small boy.
Il thought you were going to wake
me-" reprimanded the householder. "Why
didn't you do it?"
The boy exploded.
II did," he said. 81 threw stones at

This same good sleeper once went to
bed at o'clock, he was so sleepy, and
woke up with the sun shining.
Thinking nothing of it, he went to
the Office, to find that it was Wednes-
day. not Tuesday, as he thought.
He had slept through the night, the
next day, and another night, that was
all.

short time ago. the Nehru government had
such good opinion of the Chinese Communists
that 1t took the lead in the free world in advocat-
ing their admission into the United Nations.
But now, all of sudden, it has begun to suspect
the worst of them.
It is mystery why the Chinese Communists
seem to have gone out of their way to bring
about this change of sentiment. Whatever the
explanation, the fact is that they have succeeded
in making India shift from friendly feelings to
worried thoughts about what they may do next.
Considering the geography of Tibet and Nepal,
such thoughts are by no means unwarranted

Intermediates

This living in crisis situation is the
natural product OF the deadlock between
the West and the Soviet Union. 1t
would be hard to conceive Of possibility
OF breaking the deadlock through the
initiative Of either Washington or Mos
cow. Such move would be considered
"appeasement" If taken, and thus So
called prestige" would be lost.
In order to break the deadlock, a group
OF committed countries now existing
In Asia-India, Indonesia, Burma, the
Arab countries-and the new Germany
should act as the variables in the
present bloc alignment and maintain a
derivative relationship vis-a-yis the
Western powers and the Soviet Union.
These countries are neutral, but neu-
trality must not mean indifference.
Stands would be taken on the merits of
the issues, and through the influence
OF such bloc of nations, tension, believe,
will be reduced to minimum, and thus
our capacity to think will be greatly
enhanced.
All peoples working sincerely for o
constructive peace must try to understand
and give every moral assistance to those
who are promoting third force, which
can act as balancer and a channel Of
international intercourse between the
two existing camps. The time Is run
ming out fast.
