ACROSS THE DESK:
ACROSS THE DESK:
United Nations At The Crossroads
BY THE DESKMAN

Cold, icy weather which gripped
the Miami Valley and other parts
of the country over the week end,
pushed the war news out of the
headlines, caused some schools to
close down and kept police and
hospital attendants busy. Falls on
icy sidewalks sent 80 Daytonians
to hospitals, traffic slowed down
to snail pace and many a factory
worker refused to tread the CLASSY
pavement from home to busline.
AS snow began to cover the ice,
making walking almost impossible
school officials pondered the ad-
visibility of closing up shop until
a let-up in the weather, and fac
tory and foundry heads predicted
only skeleton crews would show up
for work tomorrow.
UN delegates looked forward to
tomorrow's meeting of it's politi-
cal committee with trepidation.
Faced with the possibility of China
slamming the door to peace nego-
tiations if there is a follow-through
on U. S. demands to brand her as
an aggressor, the delegates, with
fingers crossed, hoped continued
talk on the aggressor resolution
would be tempered with modera-
ton. Not just the United States,
but the whole of the United Ma
tons stands at the crossroads, I'M
decided whether to take the road
of appeasement or the step that
could result in World War III.

ton that only God ian answer.
Suppose we fall in for these pray
ers services and get the feel of
them; we remember too keenly
how in previous wars Negroes were
welcomed to the fellowship and
prayer but as soon as the war
troubles subsidized, Negroes were
again relegated to "their place"
with brutal abandon.
Suppose God out of the bounty
of His grace would grant our pray
ers for peace in spite of the fact
we are hypocritical at heart, what
would we do with such peace?
Suppose our national energies
could once again be freed for the
the pursuits of peace, how would
we translate these? Suppose peace
could be secured while the iron
heel of white supremacy in hard
upon the necks of the colored or
non-white world, what would be
the consequences?
1t is not difficult to predict.
This nation Of ours is irretrieva-
bly, committed to the indefinite
subjugation of it's colored citizens.
It is nightly bad to have the Rus

country. Thousands of American
men-black and white have died
in Korea because one half of Ko-
rea wanted the privilege of dis
eliminating against the other half,
and we are about to become in
volved in an undertaking to pre-

will cost billions of dollars and
perhaps millions of lives.

OUR PRAYERS FOR PEACE

Because of the exigencies and
exasperations of these crucial
times of impending peril, the ma
ton is resorting to prayer. On
every hand there is a call to pray
err. Prayer Innovations T APP
pearing everywhere. In Richmond
they hit upon a round-the-clock
prayer service. So far as could
be ascertained, this service was of
the whites and by the whites and
for the whites.
It was of course presumed that
Negroes would hold their special
all-Negro service which the Ne
groes did not hold. Negroes like
myself are not so convinced that
prayers from prejudiced hearts
can rise beyond the ceiling. Even
if Negroes had been welcomed to
these special prayers services, they
have been so conditioned that they
could do little more than expect
to be sighted and shunted aside.
1t is a serious question whether
we should pray for peace or for
those who are busy trying to make
us feel inferior. Just how high a
prejudiced prayer goes is a ques.
