MITCHELL WWfci'fQl —i ~i ~ ^*v» ARMISTICE.— For a number of years we have been celebrating Armistice Day but this year the day and date comes at just the appropriate time to apply the real meaning of the word Arm istice. • • * We have just gone through and witnessed a prolonged series of bat tles which have inflicted a great many wounds, causing untold suf fering and anguish between parties, organizations, associations, acquaint ances, friends and even among blood relatives. • • t Popular vote, for the time being, has given a decision and whether it is a right or a wrong one it cannot be changed until time and circumstances again bring the parties into battle. • • • There is much work to be done; suffering to be healed; wrongs that must be righted; creative plans to be brought into play; laws to be enforc. ed; many reorganizations to be ac complished—and all of these things will require every ounce of humna en ergy. physical and mental, that it is passible to muster. ft is indeed time for an Armistice. The losers must shake hands with the winners and combine their sup ports towards one ultimate goal in or der to provide and insure a success, prosperity, equal opportunity and a square deal fqr each American citiz en, rarardless of party affiliation, religious denomination, race or color. • • • And unless the American citizen is assured and protected in these rights which the world has been led to be_ lieve are synonymous with the prin ciples of good American government the day will surely come when an * Armistice can not be so easily ar ranged without the possible loss of a great deal of spilt blood and wound ed flesh. • It Indeed there are agencies already at work in these United States of ours whose sole purpose is to accept each instance of injustice; each business failure; each governmental scandal, and each bit of propaganda that can possibly be construed, rewritten and presented as specific evidence why our present form of govmment can not continue to exist much longer. a a a Such propaganda that is being widely disseminated in this country, particularly among Negroes, who, perhaps, as American citizens have the most grievances against the many injustices perpetuated in this country, can only be successfully off set by a positive action on the part of those in power in granting to each American citizen an equal opportun ity, without any restrictions whatso. ever, and seeing that he gets it • • • Now that the battle of words, printed and spoken, is over and the Armistice is here let us commence to apply its real meaning.
