that in recent years the is
sues have become confused
and the march toward justice
and equality has been slowed
if not halted in some areas.
The transcendent moral issues
involved have become obscur-
ed, and possibly forgotten.
Our nation now stands di-
vided by the problem of COM
pulsory segregation of the
races and the opposing de-
mand for racial justice. No
region of our land is immune
from strife and division result
ing from this problem. In one
area, the key issue may con-
Germ the schools. In another it
may be conflicts over hous-
ing. Job discrimination may
be the focal point in still 9th
er sectors. But all these issues
have one main point in COM
mon. They reflect the deter
mination of our Negro people,
and we hope the overwhelm-
ing majority of our white cit
liens. to see that our colored
citizens obtain their full rights
as given to them by God, the
Creator of all, and guaranteed
by the democratic traditions
of our nation.
PROBLEMS RAISED
There are many facets to
the problems raised by the
quest for racial justice. There
are issues of law, of history.
of economics, and of sociol-
ogy. There are questions of
procedure and technique.
There are conflicts in cul-
lures. Volumes have been
written on each of these phas-
es. Their Importance we do
not deny. But the time has
come, in our considered and
prayerful judgment, to cut
through the maze of secondary
or less essential issues and
to come to the heart of the
problem.
The heart of the race ques-
ton is moral and religious. 1t
concerns the rights Of man
and our attitude toward our
fellow man. If our attitude is
governed by the great Chris
ton law Of love of neighbor
and respect for his rights,
then we can work out harmon
iously the techniques for max
ing legal, educational, econom-
ic, and social adjustments.
But if our hearts are poison
ed by hatred, or even by in
difference toward the wei.
fare and rights of our fellow
men, then our nation faces a
grave internal crisis.
No one who bears the name
of Christian can deny the uni.
versal love of God for all
mankind. When Our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ, took or
the form of man" phil. 2, n
and walked among men, He
taught as the first two laws Of

love Of fellow man. by thi,

Plus XII: "God did not create
a human family made up of
segregated, disassociated, NUT
ually independent members.
No; He would have them all
united by the bond of total
love of Him and consequent
self-dedication to assisting
each other to maintain that
bond intact" September Z,
1866.
q 1t Is a matter of histor-
ical fact that segregation in
our country has led to OPP
pressive conditions and the
denial of basic human rights
for the Negro. This is evident
in the fundamental fields of
education, job opportunity,
and housing. Flowing from
these areas of neglect and
discrimination are problems
of health and the sordid train
of evils so often associated
with the consequent Stun con-
ditions. Surely Pope Plus
XII must have had these con-
ditions in mind when he said
just two months ago: ut is
only too we'll known alas, to
what excuses pride of race
and racial hate can lead. The
Church has always been ener-
getically opposed to attempts

we are told that Negroes, In
dams, and also some Spanish
speaking Americans differ too
much in culture and achieve
ments to be assimilated in our
schools, factories, and neigh
borhoods. Some decades back
the same charge was made
against the immigrant, Irish,
Jewish, Italian, Polish, Hun
garian, German, Russian. In
both instances differences
were used by some as a basis
for discrimination and even
for bigoted ill-treatment. The
immigrant, fortunately, has
achieved his rightful status in
the American community. Eco
nomic opportunity was wide
open and educational equality
was not denied to him.
Negro citizens seek these
same opportunities. They wish
an education that does not
carry with it any stigma of
inferiority. They wish econom-
lie advancement based on mer-
it and skill. They wish their
civil rights as American citi-
zens. They wish acceptance
based upon proved ability and
achievement. No one who
truly loves Gods children will
deny them this opportunity.
NOT EASY
To work for this principle
amid passions and misunder-
standings will not be easy. 1t
will take courage. But quiet
and preserving courage has
always been the mark OF a
true follower of Christ.
We urge that concrete plans
in this field be based on pru-
dence. Prudence may be call
ed a virtue that inclines us
to view problems in their
proper perspective. It aids us
to use the proper. means to
secure our aim.
The problems we inherit
today are rooted in decades,
even centuries, of custom and
cultural patterns. Changes in
deep-rooted attitudes are not
made overnight. When we are
confronted with complex and
far-reaching evils, it is not a
sign of weakness or timidity
to distinguish among remedies
and reforms. Some changes
are more necessary than 9th.

ces, and to bypass the non

BONN, Germany The
Great Service Cross OF the
German Republic has been
awarded to Father Hermann
J. Stumpe for his fearless
work against the nazis from
1884 throughout World War
II.
Father Stumpe's first at
tack on nazism came in 1894,
when he published an expose
of Hitler's ideas entitled
"The Myth of the Goth Gen.
tury." In spite of threats
against his life, the prelate
continued writing articles and
preaching sermons in which
he pointed out the absurdity
of nazi claims Of racial su-
premacy and condemned anti
semitism.

likes or dislikes. It is a firm
purpose to do good to- all
men, to the extent that ability
and opportunity permit.
Among all races and national
groups, class distinctions are
inevitably made on the basis
of fike-mindedness or a com.
munity of interests. Such dis
tinctions are normal and con-
stitute a universal social phe-
nomenon. They are accidental,
however, and are subject to
change as conditions change.
1t is unreasonable and injur-
ious to the rights of others
that a factor such as race,
by and of itself, should be
made a cause of discrimina-
ton and a basis for unequal
treatment in our mutual relas
tions.
WHY NOT?
The question then arises:
Can enforced segregation be
reconciled with the Christian
view of our fellow man? In
our judgment it cannot, and
this for two fundamental rea-
sons.
u Legal segregation, or any
form of compulsory segrega-
ton, in itself and by its very
nature imposes a stigma Of
inferiority upon the segregat-
ed people. Even if the now
obsolete Court doctrine of
separate but equal" had
been carried out to the fullest
extent, so that all public and
semipublic facilities were in
fact equal, there is nonetheless
the judgment that an entire
race, by the sole fact of race
and regardless of Individual
qualities, is not fit to associate
on equal terms with members
of another race. We cannot
reconcile such a judgment
with the Christian view OF
mans nature and rights,

visiting with equal impartial
ity nations such as China and
India, whose ancient cultures
antedate the coming of the
Savior, and the primitive
tribes of the Americas. The
love of Christ, and the love OF
the Christian, knows no
bounds. In the words of Pope
Plus XII, addressed to Ameri-
can Negro publishers twelve
years ago, "All men are i.
brothered in Jesus Christ; for
He, though God, became also
man, became a member OF
the human family, a brother
of all" (May II, 1946)
Even those who do not &C.
cept our Christian tradition
should at least acknowledge
that God has implanted in the
souls of all men some knowl-
edge that God has implanted
in the souls of all men some
knowledge of the natural NOR
al law and a respect for its
teachings. Reason alone taught
philosophers through the ages
respect for the sacred dignity
of each human being and the
fundamental rights of man.
Every man has an equal right
to life, to justice before the
law, to marry and rear a FAM
lily under human conditions,
and to an equitable opportun-
ity to use the goods of this
earth for his needs and those
of his family.
From these solemn truths,
there follow certain conclu-
sions vital for a proper ap-
proach to the problems that
trouble us today. First, we
must repeat the principle
embodied in our Declaration
of independence - that all
men are equal in the sight of
God. BY equal we mean that
they are created by God and
redeemed by His Divine Son.
that they are bound by His
Law, and that God desires
them as His friends in the
eternity of Heaven. This fact
confers upon all men human
dignity and human rights.
Men are unequal in talent
and achievement. They differ
in culture and in personal char
acteristics.
Some are sanity, some seem
TO be evil, most are men of
good will, though beset with
human frailty. On the basis of
personal differences we may
distinguish among our fellow
men, remembering always the
admonition: "Let him who is
without sin cast the first
stone 49," On, SD. But dis
elimination based on the ac-
cidental fact Of race or color,
and as such injurious to hui
man rights regardless of per-
sonal qualities or achieve
ments, cannot be recOnciled
with the truth that God has Gre
ated all men with equal rights
and equal dignity.
Secondly, we are bound to
love our fellow man. The
Christian love we bespeak is
not a matter Of emotional

How To Drive In Snow
By JAMES BIRCHFIELD

A NYBODY who ever has started TO
n drive an automobile home from
work during a Washington snowstorm
knows there are a lot of people around
the District who never learned to drive
in snow
Are these tie-ups necessary? Is there
no cure for snow trafflc snarls?
Washington traffic officials have in
augurated plans that are in effect in
emergency storms. But still traffic jams
occur every time there Is a snowfall.
Sunday. The Star Magazine, asked
George Hammond. safety manager Of
the District Division Of the American
Automobile Association. how drivers
could help prevent storm trafhc snarls
and. at the same time. drive more safely
in winter months
One problem, Mr. Hammond said, Is
that many drivers learn to operate their
cars under favorable driving conditions
only. Suddenly, forced to operate under
unfavorable weather and road conditions
such as poor light. slippery streets.
poor vislbility-they continue to use
ineffective methods for those conditions.
Keep in mind, Mr. Hammond con-
tinued. that mud, rain. wet leaves, oil,
road bumps. loose gravel or sand can
cause loss Of traction and skidding under
any conditions. But snow and ice make
skidding a special driving hazard.
