Fort Worth, Texas at the beginning of the year
1858 added four Negro policemen. This hailed as
starting 1.-The year Off in democratic fashion"
Recently in Oklahoma City the citizens honored
Police Lieutenant Ernest Elijah JONES' first Negro
policeman to attain this height in that city, at es
monial dinner. Oklahoma City added Negro policemen
35 years ago.
Editor Roscoe Dunjee of the Oklahoma City Black
Dispatch, in lengthy editorial January IT, wrote the
historical review of the black mans relationship to the
police department in Oklahoma City in the hope it will
assist in charng the future courses and policies to be
formed"
The editorial should be must reading for our local
political action leaders and to the members of the Brm-
ngham Interracia Committee. The BIG has been work
ing to get Negro policemen for Birmingham and the
jefferson County Progressive Democratic Council is
portedy working out basic program for the year, of
which must relate to the May city elections.
The Dunjee editorial points that it was because
candidate had plank favoring Negro police who
Won that Negro law enforcement officers employ
ed 1t would that the local political action leaders
should check every candidate in the city election and
find out where he stands this all important question
of Negro policemen.
The Black Dispatch editorial which covers almost
three doube-coumns says in part 1--WE have
the police department instrument providing bet
ter understanding between the two races Quietly and
unobtrusvey the Negro officer has proved he knows
the Negro community better than his white brother
Human life is and the entire community
joys tranquility and happiness because of the assistance
loaned the total community by Negro officers 1t has
been twoway track and out of this association of black
and white has grown better understanding between
the two races
Benefits to be had by the employment of Negro po-
lice obvious and overwhelming to make is
in the coming election paramount. The Birmingham
World has been the forefront the advocacy of Negro
policemen for this city because it deeply interested
in progressive, forward-marching city We want to
know how the candidates for the City Commission stand
the hiring Of Negro policemen.
Regardless of any position taken by our local polti-
cal action leaders this newspaper intends to bring this
question of Negro policemen to the attention of the vo
ers white and black. Voters who want better CITY adj
minstration must also want Negro policemen Our pres
en city officials have had big and long opportunity to
employ Negro law enforcement officers.

PRESIDENT CALLS FOR RE-
EMPHASIS ON MORAL INTEGRITY

There is nothing wrong with
our heads. But we are in grave
danger of something going very
dreadfully wrong with our hearts.
warns Dr.. Harold Dadford West,
President of Meharry Medical Col
lege.
In his inaugural address repro
duced in full in the January is
sue of the Journal of the National
Medical Association, DR.. West stat
es that there is nothing wrong with
our methods and techniques in pro
fessional training, or with the
great standards and disciplines Of
science--only with many of the
uses to which they are put.
"Our age has so greatly divided
head and heart, he warns, that
many of our sanctions and values
today seem to be crumbling under
an increasing attitude of What's
in it for me?' What do | get out
of p Many, in fact, seem to have
altogether ceased to care about the
issue and its consequences"
In a plea to teachers he cites
Einstein's warning that over-em-
phasis on specialization could re-.
suit in a student becoming "a kind
of useful machine, but not a har-
moniously developed personality
1t is essential that he acquire a
vivid sense of the beautiful and
morally good" There are those,
says Dr. West, "Who would deny
it Essential TRUTH, who maintain
that if we just push on the way
we are going-a little further and
little faster-we will emerge
safely from the negative and de-
structive elements which threaten
to overwhelm u.s."

Double Standard
OF DemoeraeyA
Peril To Us
By LAUREN WHITE

NEW SORK- (GlobaD There
is a connection between the wor-
SEEMING of the international situa-
ton and the double standard of
democracy practiced in the United
States. And, make no mistake a
bout it, the international situation
is getting worse.
Take the Korean affair: We seem
to be holding our own there. We
have been holding the enemy there
for the last two years, but by hold
ing them, our situation becomes
worse. 1t is costing too much in
American resources to engage in a
costly stalemate 5000 miles from
our shores. AS long as this con-
tinues, our situation in Korea wor-
sens.
In Europe our situation is not
quite as bad. Although we are not
? engaged in hostilities there, we are
sending enough money to carry on
a war. Yet, with all the aid we
are sending to Europe there is a
great possibility that the relation
ship between the United States and
those countries is not as harmoni-
Gus as it should be. There appears
to be an undercurrent of resent
ment of many European countries
against the United States. There
is an open dislike of the United
States by Asian and Oriental coun-
tries. We are constantly reminded
of this.
Two Saturdays ago, on a tele-
vision broadcast, the discussions
of some Oriental students inn
pressed this fact on me further.
The program called "The World
We Want" presented the students
who are visiting the United States
from China, the Philippines, PAX
istan and Chilli. A New York daily
paper sponsors the gathering year
ly and popular airline furnishes
free transportation to the stu
dents. The aim is to get foreign
students to know the United States.

members of the Ninth District
Missionary Baptist Association,
Rev. W. L. Harris, president. To
this end they have secured the
services Of A. P. Tureaud, attor-
ney of New Orleans, to make the
legal fight for them.
According to information OBJ
tanned, children of the parishes of
East Carroll, Madison, Morehouse,
Tensas and Concordia are required
to break into their regular terms
during the harvesting seasons.
Only Negro schools are closed dur
ing the season. The children are
then used to pick cotton or other
farm work, and after the harvest
ing season is over, the schools are
reopened. In the Florida parishes,
it was pointed out, it will be straw
berry time and Negro children
will have to stop school to pick
strawberries.
Through Attorney Tureau an in
quiry has been made to all of the
school boards in the Fifth District
where the split sessions are in
practice. The school boards have
invited Negro parents to come to
the school board meetings soon to
be held to make known their OBJ
iections to the split sessions. The
first such meeting scheduled to be
held is on February 4th, 1858, at
Lake Providence.

to think that the United States
lacks sincerity and that we are
governed more by expediency than
principle
The United States has given
more money to foreign countries
In the last seven years than she
did in the preceding seventy
years. In spite of this, more peo-
pie embraced Communism in the
last 2 years than in the preceding
seventy years.
Isn't it odd that our State De-
partment can't see the connection
between the worsening information
al situation and the double stand
ard OF democracy practiced in the
United States?
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1953-01-31

In the telecast, the American
| teacher who was moderator of the
group asked two important ques-
! tons. One was What do the peo-
pie Of your country think about
the United States" The other
was, What do you think about the
treatment of Negroes in the United
States"
A pert young lady from the
Philippines gave an answer to the
first question. 1t was, eve do
not hate the people of the United
States but we have to be careful
that we are not dominated" In
answering what she thought about
the treatment of Negroes in the
United States, she said, eve read
of the Negro who was arrested
for leering at a girl from a dis
lance of 70 feet. We thought that
was terrible. Any man might look
at a pretty girl" 1t is easy to see
that part of the distrust this young
lady had stemmed from the treat
ment of Negroes in the United
States.
A student from Pakistan had a
chance to answer the question also.
This tall, composed, articulate
young man was asked, "How do
the people of Pakistan regard
Americans ?" Before answering
he asked, Should l be diplomatic
or truthful" When the moderator
assured him that he should be
truthful, he replied that his people
were distrustful of the United
States. He added, eve have just
freed ourselves from England and
we have to be careful"
When asked, what do you think
of the treatment of Negroes in
America ?" he answered by asking
the moderator what she thought
about the treatment of Negroes in
America. The moderator was on
the spot. The only thing she could
say was, Progress is being made. "
There have been instances of
Koreans working for Americans
in the daytime and fighting against
us at night. There have been in
stances of the United States giving
aid to foreign countries when we
know these countries would en-
brace our enemies on the slightest
J provocation. These countries seem
