A Conference

OLIVER W. Hill, speaking at public
meeting in the First Baptist (colored)
church, Monday night, issued an invi-
tation to white leaders to hold a conference
with Negro leaders to discuss "impas
sionately" the matter of segregation. The
invitation was slanted to the Herald re-
porter, who covered the meeting, for trans
mission to the public
We can see no benefit to come of the
suggested meeting. The question of the
constitutonality of segregation in the pub
lie schools is before the United States
Supreme Court. Until the decision is an
nounced there is no issue and we see moth
ing constructive which can be gained hy the
suggested conference.
1t seems that it is rather late to propose
such conference. Some value might have
come from conference between Negro and
white leaders in 1913, in regard to estab-
fishing a better school for the Negro
children. An exchange of ideas at that time
could have been fruitful with the objective
Of better schools.
To our personal knowledge, such an
1851 at which four white men and six Negro
men met to discuss the school strike and
the issues arising thereform. Four Negroes,
at that time. were interested only in better
school facilities. not indignation, one was
undecided and one, the Rev. Francis Crit
fin, was adamant in his support for
indignation. The leaders were powerless to
change the course of events, which under
sponsorship of the NAACP, has questioned
the constitutionality of segregation in
schools before the [. s. Federal District
Court. which upheld the constitutionality
Of separate but equal srhoos This decision
was appealed to the highest appellate court
in the nation whose decision is now awaited.
There is an honest difference of opinion
amongst our people. In spite of the public
meetings, the executive conferences and the
personal Visitations, we remain Of the
opinion that the majority of the Negro
citizens still prefer segregation of Prince
Edward schools, and an almost unanimous
preference among the white citizens. The
present position Of this newspaper is that
the decision Of the L. S. Supreme Court
alone will reopen the matter for public
discussion and at that time it might be APP
proprate for such a conference as has been
suggested In the meantime we believe
that the decision should be awaited without
further ado. Our people who have lived to-
generations, must continue to live together
