Johnson Warns U.s.
To Change Position
By MARX LYMAN

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. % "The United State
had better beware. If we do not change our position il
world leadership, the moral forces of the entire worle
will rise up against u.s." DR.. Mordecai w. Johnson, presi

at the Friends Meeting House here.

DR.. johnson dashed out against
America for having freed herself
from England 200 years ago be-
cause of economic and moral in
justices and now endorsing the
same today by joining with colony
holding nations in keeping alive
the old system Of "heartless" i'm
perialism.
To bear out his point, DR..
johnson cited the millions A.
merica was sending to South
Africa annually to help develop
the mines where 100000
black men are held in a type of
concentration camp slavery and
economic and self respecting
drudgery.
He blamed America for sending
arms and planes to the French in
Indo- China to aid the French "to
maintain a system of economic
slavery which the Indonesians are
about to throw Off" In this same
category DR.. johnson placed Com
munist China and India both of
which grew tired of the Western
heel and threw them off.
America and the imperialistic
nations left the doors open for
communism" the educator said.
, 1951-03-01

By overlooking and ignoring the
will of men to be equal and self
respecting and against the policy
of centuries of the larger nations
to capture the weak and exploit
them, communism came as a saw
ior since no other non-communist
force ever offered a helping hand,
he said.
JOHNSON OUTLINED Ameri-
cas- chance to combat communism
all over the world by taking rs
billion and develop the aborted re-
sources of the colonies and near
bankrupt and desperate countries
and "bring food and shelter to
every human family on the face
of the earth"
The speaker said that this would
make the present preachings of
the communists useless.
The fault lies, DR.. Johnson said,
in the Western nations belief that
the march of communism can be
stopped with armed might. He
pointed to the failing world moral
leadership of America and what
damage might be inflicted upon
the powers by the billions of op-
pressed people who have not be-
lieved in Americas leadership.

this Reservation is known as the
Blackfoot Tribe. This group is
considered as one of the elite In
dian Tribes because education has
caused them to lay aside many
of their old traditions. He men
toned the fact that the Indians
had very poor oral hygiene with
numerous carious teeth, necessi-
tating, in many cases, the extrac-
ton of all the teeth, even in the
young.
He added that while there, an
old Indian Chief died and because
he was very famous and at one
time associated with both the
Methodist and Catholic Church,
they argued for the honor of bury
ing him, and a settlement was
reached whereby both churches
performed rites.

of the white man who shot and
wounded Collins and killed his wife
as she pleaded for her husbands
life who was identified as Archie
Newman, minor law enforcement
officer, Constable or Deputy, and
pulp-wood Cutting and Hauling
contractor.
The incident took place on Feb
ruary IA and Collins was placed
in the Hospital at Dude.
Officers went to the hospital on
May 1st and transferred him to
Ithe Meadville Jail where he is now
being held without Bond.
According to the story of the in
cident given by the close relative of
the Collins family here early this
week, M. C. Collins has been work
ing for the white man in connec-
ton with his pulp-wood Business
for the past six years.
During the past few weeks the
pulp-wood cutting and hauling has
been centered around Quentin, al
though Collins lived at Dude.
On the morning of February Ia.
Collins did not go to work and
later in the day the white man
went to his home and asked why
he didn't come to work that day
and when Collins started explain
ing to him, that his work was pref
ty well caught up with and that he
thought he wouldn't be needed
that day, and said that even so he
was ready to go then if needed,
the white man according to the re-
port told him he could forget about
the work that he came to kill him
anyway.
Thinking that the white man
was joking with him, Collins start
ed begging for his life and the
white man suddenly drew his gun
and started shooting. Collins wife
who was inside the house when she
heard the shooting, ran out plead
ing for her husbands life when the
gun was turned on her and she
was shot to death
The relative also revealed that
sometime ago Collins became in
debted to a Bude merchant who
turned the debt over to the white
man for collection. He took money
out of Collins pay each week for
the debt until the entire amount
had been deducted from his salary.
Sometime ago the merchant ask
ed Collins about the money and
Collins told him it had been paid,
how it had been paid and to whom
it had been paid.

Mrs. M. E. lilly, Atlanta Field
Director of the Southern Regional
Council and member of President
Truman's committee on Civil
Rights, stated yesterday; "The
minority groups are no longer TAX
ing it (racial discriminatory lying
down."
Mrs. lilly was addressing the
Eight Annual Race Relations In
stitute at Fisk University. Anoth-
er factor she cited in the diminish
ing of segregation in the South
was:
"The South is Bible belt; and
if you read the Bible often enough
some of it has to sink into your
conscience"
Mrs. lilly concluded: "The
Southland is not crying because
it is so bad, it is crying because
it hurts so much with its growing
pause"
Sharing the spotlight during the
third session of the institute was
Carey McWilliams, noted editor
and author. He said that the civil
rights controversy must enter
new phase of recognition of the
fact that minorities are not engag
ed in a special fight.
In her speech, Mrs. lilly point
ed out that in 76 southern cities,
400 Negro police were employed
and that the Negro vote in the
region increased from 100000 in
1910 to over 100000 at present.
Also pointing up the progressive
factor in the South, Mrs. lilly
cited the fact that several COM
munities had passed anti-mask
ordinances and that over 1000
Negro students are currently at

ed the belief that the money col
lected for the debt was entirely re-

ing of his wife.
In an effort to obtain the indict-
ment of the white man under Fed
eral Law, since there is little or
no chance of anything being done
in Franklin County, the relative
of the Collins family reported the
case in full details to the local
agent of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
Meanwhile there are signs that a
more strenuous effort may be made
to bring about some action in the
case by the local office of the
United States District Attorney.
