Racial Success Demands Racial Statistics

Action is difficult when facts are lacking II
is difficult for example to determine whether
or not there is discrimination in the referring
policies in state or other employment agency,
unless the agency has kept statistics by race
of the character and number Of its referrals.
If the agency keeps the color of individ
ual applicants, but fails to make a statistical
report of its referrals by race, then discrimina-
tion can proceed without let or hindrance
merely because the public is kept In igno-
rance.
II anyone gets the idea that the agency
is discriminating or may be discriminate
ing unduly, he cannot learn the facts without
spending an enormous amount Of time tabu-
lating the facts. II he does not have the time
to make the tabulation then he must pay to
have it done by some statistican. Your enc
mics are always willing and able to pay to
learn the facts-if they need Them They don't
need them. They want to keep them hid, If
possible!!! But If Mr., Average Citizen gets
suspicious and wants to learn the facts, he
cannot afford to hire worker to investigate
and tabulate. So, he lets the matter ride
not because he is wicked, but because he is
ignorant of the facts and cannot learn them
without an effort.
Statistics not gathered by race are like
hooded mobsters. The factors are masked be-
yond the possibility of easy detection or iden-
tification.
Recently list of PAROLES was published
in the daily press. You could easily count the
total number but there was no way to de-
termine the proportion according to race with
out making me-taking survey of the group.
The only Identification of race occurred in the
mention of two who had committed crimes
against white people. So, the racial facts in
volved are unknown in all but two of the
cases, and Mr.. Average Citizen has no conven-
lent way to determine them.
Keeping racial statistics and making them
available to the public helps stop racial in
justice There Is not surer way to promote
racial discrimination than to keep the public
ignorant of the facts.

Fund has one objective, and that is to end
discrimination in the south based on race
creed. and color. II that program represents
Communistic activities. as the senator Is al
legged to have implied, just where does de-
mocraey come In?
Communism to us is an ugly word, and
we hate to think by the senator's implication,
that the ending of racial discrimination in the
south is Communistic, since that is the only
charge that can be laid against the Southern
Conference Educational Fund, Inc.
It would be well for the senator to wake
up and be sure of where he speaks, before he
makes Communism more attractive than de-
mocracy.

They Make Communism Very Attractive

The attack that Senator William E. Jen-
ner has made against the Southern Conference
Educational Fund, Inc, makes the senator
look ridiculous. or makes Communism very at
tractive
The senator from Indiana is quoted as
saying that his committee includes a probe
into the "Communistic activities of the
Southern Conference Educational Fund, Inc"
Jenner knows that the people who make
up the Southern Conference Educational
Fund. Inc. are not Communist. or at least he
should know. If he doesn't know, it speaks
pretty bad for the people in Indiana who sent
him to Washington.

Some cities proudly point to the fact tina
they do not keep racial statistics as evidence
Of their racial fairness. Their statements ART
endorsed by some Negro specialists In socia
research who think that racial statistics might
aid racial discrimination.
The actual fact Is that racial statistics
are necessary to racial success. The absence
Of racial statistics is distinct hindrance to
racial justice, an aid to racial discrimination.
Where racial statistics have been kept, any
person can and may take a look at them and
see what the facts are. Where racial statistics
have not been kept, it is hard to determine
just what the facts are. You can't be certain
OF cure If you can't be certain of dag
nosis. You most certainly can't have dag
nosis without the facts.
For example, II Negroes are employed
not at all In a given line of work, discrimina-
tion Is self-evident. But where some Negroes
are employed and some white people are EN-
ployed, II is sometimes hard to determine
whether there is or not injustice until you
have had count by race. The same thing is
true Of arrests, indictments, convictions, and
penalties. 1t Is also true of school attendance
and school teaching.
Recently there has been wave of violent
killing among Negroes. The Importance of this
wave Soiuiue Uc cSuiHdtcu uiucSS We COuHt
everything involved in 1t and compare with a
similar count Of the factors involved in
white killings. When you have finished your
counts and your comparisons, you know
whether the killings result from racial factors
or human.
Some people seem to think that one fac
tor In the spread Of violence might be len-
ency on the part of the courts. But If the
count Of judgments against the members of
one race Is proportionate to the count Of
those against another, it would ordinarily be
presumed that racial factor is not Indicated
Some people think that racial statistics aid
the enemies Of the Negro It is just the oppo-
site. The ''pitiless publicity" Characteristic of
the early efforts of NAACP is based on the
remedial value of knowledge of the facts.

Japan 5 Leaders Cool
TO MoIofoy Bid for
Normal Relations
By shs Assseiaisd Press

TOKYO, Sept. 13.Japanese
government leaders were cool
today to d statement by Soviet
Foreign Minister Molotov that
..the time is ripe" for resumption
of normal relations between
Japan and Russia.
Molotov made the statement
in reply to questions from q Jap
anese newspaper.
Government leaders pointed
out that Japan has always been
ready to sign q peace treaty
similar to the San Francisco
treaty signed by the United
States and most other non
Communist nations.
The treaty went into effect in
April, 1852.
Still at War Technically.
A foreign office spokesman
said Japan "has always been
prepared to establish normal
diplomatic relations with the
u. S. S. r. on the basis Of the San
Francisco peace treaty or on the
basis Of substantially the same
principles that are set forth in
that treaty"
The Russians walked out OF
the San Francisco conference
in 1851. and technically are still
at war with Japan.
japanese government leaders,
including Prime Minister Shig-
cru Yoshida, have repeatedly
said that If Russia wants a
peace treaty she should sign a
similar document.
Under the terms of the treaty,
Russia has until April, 1855, to
sign the San Francisco docu-
ment, a foreign Office source said.
Points to "Main Obstacle"
Molotov said the '.main OBJ
stacle" to re-establishment of
normal Japanese-Soviet rela-
tions, is "the fact that certain
japanese circles follow the die
tate Of United States ruling
circles to keep Japan in the posi-
ton of a dependent country
"As for the U. S. S. r., it ex-
presses readiness to normalize its
relations with Japan, consider
ing that Japan will display SINH
lar readiness" he added.
The Soviet diplomatic chief
also said the Soviet Union
stands for the development OF
trade relations with Japan on
mutually advantageous terms"
Molotov suggested that the two
nations discuss the question OF
exchanging official trade missions
ION the basis Of equality and
reciprocity" l
