Negroes have served their coun-
try as spies. Pompey Lamb, dis
tinquished sa a vegetable huckster,
secuted the British Fort at Strong
Point for Gen. Anthony wayne. Per-
haps the most famous among Ne
gro spies was a woman, Sojourner
Truth
While the Negro has offered to
sacrifice his life as a spy for his
country, he can boast of an I'M
broken chair of loyalty, extending
over 300 years. He has never pro-
duced a Benedict Arnold, nor a
Booth, nor a Czologloz.
The Negro has distinguished him
self during the war for 1872; they
fought under Andrew Jackson at
New Orleans, in the Seminole Wars
and the Mexican War under Gen.
Zachary Taylor.
Negroes played an important part
in the Civil War, the Confederates
using their services as early as
January, 1861 Seventy five Negro
officers were commissioned in the
Civil War.
Negroes helped to rescue Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt during the Span
ish-American War.
In World War /, 404,348 Negroes
participated, including 1885 Negro
officers.

WASHINGTON LETTER
Christian Issues Are nUOIUed

WASHINGTON - There iS a
Christian aspect to the Formosa
controversy.
This may come as a shock to
some people, because it has not
been emphasized in the declara-
tions of our leaders in the col
umns of the secular press.
But the Christian issue is
there, and ii raises the question
why the same issue has not been
faced more frankly in a large
number of other world prob
lens.
The matter comes up here, be
cause of notable letter written
by Sir Arnold Lunn, interna-,
tionally famous British Catholic
writer, which has appeared in
The Times of London. The let.
ter, which has come to attention
in this country, is as follows:
"Sir: - There are two aspects
of the Formosa controversy on
which it would be interesting to
elicit Mr.. Attlee's Gabour Party
LEADER views. We remember the
indignation professed by the La
bour Party when thousands of
citizens of democratic Czech0-
Sl0vakia were transferred TO Nazi

ties of the Soviet regime. Will
lam z. Foster almost dolefully
states: Whatever internal chang
es may come from the shift in
Soviet leadership. regarding the
development of heavy industry
and agriculture, time alone will
tell"
That is quite an admission of
Soviet incompetence The Com
munists are generally shouting
that the Soviet dictatorship is
"invincible. But these true
facts are given by the Commun-
ist leaders TO their followers in
order to spur the latter on IN
forwarding the real secret Of So
viet success, the penetration Of
our thinking.
Two Major Issues"
Thus the leading editorial in
the Daily Worker of February
10 stimulates the comrades to go
out and spread the following fic-
ton: Foreign Minister Molotov
was being tough about two ma
ior issues which have led to re-
cent sharpening of world tension.
One is the move TO rearm West
ern Germany. The other is occu-
patton of Formosa and other Chi
nese islands by US armed forces
in violation of the Cairo agree
ment. But is the arming of the
new Wehrmacht headed by the
Na2i general staff a policy worth
defending? And is Chang
,Kai-shek'S residence in Formosa
worth a single American life?"
In the space of one paragraph
there could scarcely be more
extensive tissue of falSehoods.
The Cairo agreement was precise
ly that solemn pact under which
the United States guaranteed the
integrity of the China of Chang
Kai-shek. II was the United
States, through Soviet brain
washing, which betrayed that
pact in presenting the arsenal
of Manehuria to the Kremlin in
the Yalta agreement.
Same Old off-Key Tune
The whole absurd contention
that the German people are per-
petually "militaristic" and pro
Nazi" is counted upon by Soviet
Russia and its fifth column to
stampede rs into surrender oi

The situation is not quite the
same in this country, where at
least some legislators have not
heSitated to speak out on the
moral aspects of issues and on
the interests of the Church and
of Christianity.
But there has been a notice
able lack Of emphasis on the
Christian aspects of the Formosa
situation, except in the Catholic
press and in the talks of Catho-
lie Bishops and priests. Almost
all that the general public has
heard about the matter relates
to the military problems involv-
ed and to the threat that it holds
for involvement in war.
The United States is the key
country, and the hope of the
Free World, insofar as Formosa
is concerned. We have held to
a firm policy there so far, but
there is apprehension in the
world lest we change.
1t is to be hoped that our atti-
tude is always the proper one.
1t can be, if we pay more, and
not less, heed to the Christian
considerations involved in this
situation of world Importance.

known authority in the field of
American Church history. re-
marked recently in a series of
public lectures at the Univer-
sity of Chicago, it was so far in
advance of its time and was con.
Sidered by many to be so rad
ical" that the president of the
National Association of Manu-
facturers protested TO Cardinal
Gibbons against partisan. pro-
labor union, socialistic propagan-
da under the official insignia of
the Roman Catholic Church in
America"
Happily, the climate of eco
nomic and political thinking has
changed for the better during
the intervening decades. Most
of the .socialistic propaganda"
of the Bishops Program has long
since been enacted into law by
the federal government. And, as
also noted in last weeks column,
the program is now accepted by
the majority of the American
people as a moderate program
of social reform.
Somewhat Parallel Status
The favorable reception aeS
corded the Bishops Program is
a matter for rejoicing. 1t should
be noted, however, that the doc
ument is OF more than merely
historical interest at the present
time Still a sound guide TO the
problems of social reform and
social reconstruction, it is not by
any means a dead letter.
The original Foreword to the
Bishops Program opened as fol-
lows: The ending of the Great
War has brought peace. But the
only safeguard of peace is social
justice and contented people.
The deep unrest SO emphatically
and so widely voiced throughout
the world is the most serious
menace to the future peace of
every nation and of the entire
world. Great problems face us.
They cannot be put aside; they
must be met and solved with
justice to all"
Thirty-six years later our own
generation finds itself in a some
what parallel situation. We, too,
are living in the prolonged after
math of global war far more
ghastly and destructive than the
first Nor has the ending Of the
