in the post the latter has held
annual banquet of the 1861 null
Conference. He addressed a crowd
of more than 500 that overlooked
the facilities Of the banquet hall.
More than 100 persons jammed the
adjacent corridors to listen to the
banquet speakers - Mr.. Young;
George LIP Weaver, assistant us.
Secretary of Labor, and Louis B.
Settler, Editor of The Cleveland
Press.
In his address, Mr.. Young point
ed emphatically to an urgent need
that I'VE must recognize also that
we are at war against apathy and
indifference; that we are at war
against naturalization, greed, sell
fishness and ignorance"
He said that the years ahead are
a challenge to the League move
ment, that all America must I'M
derstand that the null is engaged
in "a crusade for justice, Cor de-
cency, for morality, honesty and
frankness." 1t is a crusade, he
added, ito put into operational
framework on a day-to-day, per-
son-to-person basis the American
creed and democratic promise"
ours is an obligation, most i'm
mediate to the Negro citizen or
other minorities whom we serve,
but in the final analysis it is a re-
sponsibility to America as it faces
its greatest hour of challenge.
"Amerca - Capitalism, free en-
terprise (call it what you willy
in the final analysis will have a
meaning and attractiveness to
three-fourths of this worlds popul-
alton only to the degree that the
non-white citizen in this country
shares equally in its opportunities
and rewards"
Mr.. Young said that he accepts
the responsibility of the post into
which he will step on October 1,
with confidence first in you, the
Urban League family, and, second
ly, in America, and in what I be-
lieve to be the inherent decency
and good sense of its people" He
said that he could think of no
more appropriate Interpretation of
the Urban League movement and
its spirit at this point in history
than was expressed a century ago
by William Lloyd Garrison, the
famous aboItionist, who said:
1--WE are in earnest; we will not
equivocate; we will not excuse; we
will not retreat a single inch
and we will be heardw
Mr.. Weaver pointed up a need
for viewing the racial issues here
at home also in terms of their
significance in international af-
fairs. He said:
Zone of the larger burdens we
carry on our backs in our foreign
relations is the problem of racial
discrimination here at home. We
are dealing with approximately
fifty new countries that have be-
come independent since 1915, and
we are living through a decade of
reimbursement of the relationships
between Western Europe and the
rest of the world.
THE speed with which we elm
mate racial discrimination is of
fundamental Importance TO the
success of the foreign policy of
the United States. Many reports
coming back to America from the
people of Asia, Africa and Latin
America indicate that they judge
Americas sincerity Of purpose by
the speed Of our success"
