To The Editor OF The State Press:
May congratulate you for your courageous, flatfooted

for the benefit of Reader Miller and others who fail to the
true plight of the average Negro peopethat while

agree completely with your wonderful reply to Mr. Miller
who obviously Gas you correctly point out) cannot know the
feelings of Negroes if he thinks his socaled disgrace for

moment we are willing to be cleansed from
false ideas, and attitudes, then we will be
ready to receive Gods grace. The power of
God will be behind us, the resources of God
will be at our disposal. The earth and the
heaven will open to US and offer us bounty.
In cooperative endeavor we could do
anything-anything that is good and right
and necessary for everybody We would make
more progress in decade than we now do in
a century. The dead hopes, the frustrated
longings, the stunted bodies and souls of
people would rise as from the dead and hui
mainly would literally have new birth.
We by teaching and by demonstration
must insist on society based on simple
principle; equality of opportunity for all. We
are not equal, but equally of opportunity is
the birthright of all.
We must insist that the ALL" means
all, with no evasons, no exceptions. This
would mean equality of opportunity to
all of every race, every class, every creed,
and both sexes.
America is destined to lead the world
spiritually. 1t is a great privilege to be an
American In America we have made great
f''bANSS
greater progress in the next ten years.
Those who discriminate against us be-
cause of our color are sick mentally, spirit
ually morally or physically But there are
literally millions of non-colored Americans
without these Affections and who in count
less ways work to destroy all forms of dis
elimination based on race, creed or color.
And like the green grass in the spring
whose growth is invisible to the naked eye
things are getting better. Let's be what we
want. Let's acquit ourselves as loyal and
responsible citizens and leave the rest to
heaven-remembering always that this is
Gods world
In these days of celebrating Peace on
Earth and Goodwill, let us rededcate our
selves to building Citadel of Love of Man
kind, Service to Humanity, Universal Peace.

hood of the Negro isn't worth any more
than a few pennies, then the younger gen.
Grafton which was brought into this world
without its consent and knowledge, should
be taken into consideration.
Time after time we have had complaints
from individuals of insults they have re-
ceived in certain stores. And We have also
had information where certain organiza-
tons have made protests. Little do they
know that these store operators don't give
a damn about their protests as long as they
continue to spend their money.
These firms know they do not have to
correct complaints. They know that they
do not have to hire Negroes in dignified
positions of honor and trust They know they
do not have to advertise in the Negro pa
pers They know that they do not have to
make it pleasant for Negro shoppers They
know that they do not have to invite Ne

gro is coming to spend his money because
he doesn't know the value of his purchas-
ing power.

The Arkansas Legislative Council is
well underway for its 5Sth session with
senator's and representatives from the vari-
Gus sections of the state, having assembled
themselves for the purpose of making new
laws, appropriations and so forth In this
session hope there will be progra out
lined that will be in the best interests of the
state, the nation and the people therein.
This, l felt, had a good chance of happen
ing when / observed that resolution had
been introduced in the senate requesting
an all-Negro unit of the Arkansas Nation
al Guard If this resolution is adopted, this
policy will be contradictory to those of our
now non-segregated armed forces. It Is my
opinion that we cannot have up-todate
armed services while maintaining out-of-

America Must Score An UPSET

From The Labor Reports
We are in serious trouble. We are in
such serious trouble that the odds are a
gainst our being able, as nation, to sur
vive.
We may well ask ourselves, How did
we get into this fix"
The answer is sort of complicated, but
it is clear that we are badly outnumbered
because we failed to continue to develop
our democratic tradition.
We put the Bill of Rights and the Con-
stitution and the Declaration of Independ-
ence in the Freedom Train and gave them
a ride. In the process We thought of these
documents as showpecps. In short we fail
ed to live really and truly to live, as
though we believed that all men were-and
are-equal.
That's why we are now being taken for
a ride ourselves ride that's been ar
ranged by international gangsters disguis-
ed as governments.
We behaved as though we thought that
the colored peoples of the world were not
our equals. Witness the lynchings Note the
poll taxes. Observe the low educational
budgets for Negroes. Look around and see
the many evidences of segregation. Remem-
Der, too, our Exclusion Acts.
Even after the scourge of Hitler, we
disseminated against mis- victims. We may
have opened the doors of the concentration
camps but we didn't give them any place to

road. The atomic scientists are likely to
crash up! Do you blame them?
That man is clever foolo He thinks
he is clever enough to devise million ways
for taking advantage of his weaker brother
War has been trying for centuries to teach
him that he must not be selfish and SUI
perior, or his destiny will be tragic, but he
is hard headed and refuses to take the les
son seriously. But life is like that. The ar
rogant and naughty throughout the ages
have died without ever taking the lesson
of war with anything other than grain of
salt. Solomon said there was nothing new
under the sun and If you observe the world
today in perspective these words may stick
to your ribs.

~.
The Statue of Liberty remained just a
picture on post card.
So we are in serious trouble. We are in
serious trouble because we are outnumbered
We are outnumbered because we didn't let
a lot of people join our team.
We are outnumbered because we let
our bigots, our Southern white supremacy
zealots, embarrass our foreign policy.
1t may still not be too late
There are close to four hundred million
people in India.
Threatened as that nation is by the
Chinese-Russian moves in Tibet, these four
hundred million could be our teammates.
Sure, they could be on our side, but only it..
Only If we arr willing to help them
economically. But we will be willing to help
them economically only If we consistently
accept them as fellow human beings, as our
equals.
And that goes for the eighty million in
the East Indies - and millions all over the
world who happen to be colored
We need them on our side if we are TO
survive.
But we will get them on our side only
If we pay no attention to the mouthings Of
our bigots.
More than that: Our foreign policy has
to be living demonstration of our ability
OF our willingness. to treat all men of good
will as brothers.

It's Your Money, So what?-

We feel thar the Negro needs to learn
the value of his power. And one of his great
est powers which he uses daily is that of
buying. The best method on earth to break
down segregation and racial evils Is to with
hold the dollar away from certain people
Why In the name of good common sense
will people insist on spending their hard
earned money with firms that refuse them
any consideration! There are many firms in
Little Rock that will absolutely refuse to
hire Negro in any capacity. And there are
firms wha. will hire few Negroes as por-
tiers, janitors elevator operators, ETC. These
are the jobs that bring the lowest salaries
and jobs that white people do not want.
And II they did want them the firms know
that they would have to pay the whites
more money and treat them with respect
becoming human beings. With those objec-
tives In view it Is easy to see why few
Negroes are kept on the pay roll.
Why is 1t that the Negro cannot see
that firms like that don't give damn a
bout their business? If they did they would
prepare places for your comfort and con-
veniences while you are shopping as they
prepare for those whose business they do
appreciate.
There are firms that enjoy lucrative and
Boosting patronage from Negroes that will
absolutely refuse to purchase advertising
from Negro published newspapers. Your

Let's Build 4 Citadel Of Peace
ey Robert Durr, for GINS

As men move away from selfish mate
rialisn to new center of life they try to re-
form life around the centers of Racism,
Tascism and Communism Hence the ideo
logical war. All of these are half answers and
will break down.
The follower of the law of God for this
day has the answer and he Is the only one,
as far as I can see who does have it. He Is
the one man who views humanity as whole
the one man who looks on man as a man
"A man for whom Christ died" Jesus said
Zone is your Father and all we are brothrern',
God as Father and the world family
with man as the unit of cooperation, as
man apart from the state, race or class. He
would stop no where this side of the last man
of every state, every race, every class. That
is the answer whether the world is ready to
admit it or not. And there is no other. We
must hold to that answer through thick and
thin through compromise and betrayal, for
someday the world will have to take it or
perish through mutual strife If intelligent
choice will not take men to this answer then
establishment with other ways will make
them take it.
We must be ceanSed OF an idea that has
plunged this world into hell and that idea
is nothing less than the idea of inately SUI
perior and inferior races and the right of the
superior to dominate the inferior races.
That idea is false and anything based on
that assumption will break down. There are
no permanently inferior races. There are on
ly undeveloped races. Basically humanity is
one. 1.-THE difference between races is not
biological, but cultural says noted Pro-
fessor of Biology Christianity teaches the
same thing God hath made of one blood"
Science and Religion are convergng on one
thing-that basically Humanity is one and
should be treated as such. We haven't been
willing to treat person as a person, hence
the wars and clashes.
The Stage is now set for the establish
ment on a world order based on justice. The
