Dr.Lin. . .
(continued from page 1t
As Lin Yutang paced the floor of
his beautiful duplex apartment over
looking the East River at 84th St,
he seemed to forget the subtle hu
mor and satiricol style that pervad
es his great writings. He seemed
to be getting something off his
chest. He continued: “Our idea of
racial prejudice is as unscientific
as Hitler’s Aryianism. It has nev
er been proved that the Negro is
mentally inferior to the white man.
That is something hard for the
white man to swallow. That is a
fact. If you say you dislike Ne
groes, that is your private opinion.
But if you say the Negro is men
tally inferior to you, that is an un
truth. No one has a right to con
demn Hitler’s race arrogance if
that one shares it himself."
These remarks were in answer
to the question: "Do you feel de
mocracy and full citizenship should
be enjoyed by all regardless of race
o rreligion?” His first remark to
this question was: “It should nev
er have to be brought up. I thi-.k
this question was' settled some 70
years ago. No one questions 4 o.*
paper.”
VOL CAN T FIGHT t wit FRE&
DOM AND IMPERIALISM BOTH
“Will the liberation of China and
the freedom of India benefit the
subjugated people of the Asiatic
and African colonies?” I asked Dr.
Lin.
“That is natural and inevitable.
That is why the imperialists are
scared and confused now. If im
perialism cracks in one corner of
the world it will crack in another.
But the issue is Inevitable. You’ve
got to make up your mind either to
fight for imperialism or fight for
freedom, because you cannot fight

for both at the same time. Be
cause we refuse to face the issue
s tuarely, we are thrown into e*m
f ision about our post-war aims
In fact certain powers are already
beginning to be sea ed of the At
lantic Chatter and r-gard che or
cation of its apii '-catton as '‘dang
erous.’ ”
Dr. Lin made several references
to religion in the course of his in
terview. His father was pastor of
the American Reformed Church
Mission in China, and before Lin
studied in Jena and Leipzig in Eur
ope and received his Ph. D. at Har
vard. he had studied for the minis
try at St. John’s in Shanghai until
he had to break away because of
conflicts in belief. So when I ask
ed him for some comment on treat
ment of the Negro in the radio and
movie world, I was not surprised
at the answer: “It is up to the
Christian, protestant and Catholic,
who have organizations control
over Hollywood, to take Up this is
sue if they believe in what the Bible
teaches them.”
Lin Yutang came back from the
war in China in 1940 predicting
the Chinese would never lose, lie
had seen his country after years
of war and millions of his people
sacrificed for freedom—a freedom
he had suffered and fought for a
gainst the ancient tyrannies of tho
ol regime in China. Some months
ago he became very critical about
the failure to give proper aid to
China and pointed out its extreme
danger. Some attacked Dr. Lin for
trying to make a race issue of the
war. I asked him about this, fie
answered: “Japan and Hitler have
tried to make this a racial war, but
China stands in the way and makes
it impossible to say this is a war
between the white and the yellow
races in the Pacific. China has a
celar cut war aim based upon prin
ciples and equality for all people. ’
I told Dr. Lin it was difficult for
many Negroes to see this war as a
peoples’ war, in view of the con
tinued treatment they receive here
and the failure of the Allies to do
anything about India and the Afr
ican and Asiatic colonial peoples'
freedom.
Speaking of his people. Dr. L'n
’said: "The Chinese are feeling un
certain about the post war aims of
her Allies. They are a little con
fused about what our Allies are
fighting for.”
Of Lin Yutang, Pearl Buck has
said: "He is Chinese to the core.
He is a great patriot and lover of
his country and has done more
than any other person to make
China intelligable and likeable. His
is an honest intelligence. He is a
fraid of nothing and of no one. ’
Blacklisted, Lin Yutang spent
months in hiding during the Chin
ese rebellion but returned later to
China as a professor in Peking Na
tional University. He says: "To be
human is the great thing in life,
and to be allowed to live human,
individual lives is the primary
longing of every human being.”
Dr. Lin was pleased to know that
the American Negro is interested
in the liberation of China from any
domination and that they were dis
appointed in the failure to invite
China to Casablanca and at Church
ill’s failure to mention China in his
recent broadcast, as one of the pow
ers that will do the planning for
the post-war world.

1 Dad and the Boys Get in the Scrap
Heavy scrap from America’s farms is still vitally necessary
to beat the enemy. Now that good weather makes it easy,
to locate scrap iron, every farm can help supply the materials'
that make guns and ammunition.
As the call comes to Nebraskans >
to enter the third scrap gathering
campaign, the question might arise
in some peoples mind as to just
how badly this scrap is needed.
At some points in the state scrap
piles have been but partially re
moved. Tin se are few but they
undoubtedly give the impression
locally that scrap is not a serious
problem.
Various reasons can be pointed
out for this condition, but that
which covers most cases is that
dealers have gone out of business,
or have been called into the serv
ice. To point out the true scrap
picture, we quote from an editor
ial of the “Waste Trade Journal",
addressed to dealers:
"This is no time for complacency
and there would be none if the pub
lic were made aware of the serious
ness of the situation; if it were
made to realize that substantially
as much scrap will be needed in
1943 as was the case last year, and
unless proper safeguards are taken
the scrap supply is likely to prove
a greater headache this year than
|it did in 1942.
“It is conservatively estimated
that the steel industry will con
sume approximately 2 million net
tons of purchased scrap each month
this year, or a total of 24 million
net tons. It is important to bear
in mind that this is purchased
scrap; scrap that must come from
households, from automobile grave
yards, from industrial plants, from
farms and from highways and by
ways of the nation.
“'The scrap supply problem is
something that cannot be gambled
with. The safety of the nation and
the lives of millions of our own and
of our allied soldiers depend upon
the steel mills delivering the im
plements of war when and where
needed. Scrap must not be p- r
mitred to become a bottleneck. It
will be far safer to have too much
rather than too little. We certain
ly car not risk a recurrence of the
shortage that devetred last year.
‘No one how long this
w..- will las-. We must prepare
for any eventualities. The only in
surance against a scrap iron short
age is to build up an adequate re
serve. Unless this is done and done
quickly, and unless the appropriate
machinery is put into immediate
motion to assure this stockpile, the
consequences may be disastrous.
This is no time to engage in wish
ful thinking or to take chances. ’
OCD N EW S
FLOODED AREA BASEMENTS
REFILL FROM SEEPAGE
AFTER BEING PIMPED OUT
With more than three-fourths of
the forty basements that were
pumped out last Saturday and Sun
day again full of water, Jack Var.
de Water, chief mechanic of the
auxiliary firemen in charge of the
pumps, agreed Friday to make a
survey with City Engineer E. W.
Woodbridge to determine whether
it wrould be worthwhile to continue
pumping this week end.
(In a conference with Fire Chief
O'Connor. Floyd S. Reep, training
k chief of the auxiliary firemen and
Arthur L. Rearodn, battalion chief
of the rescue corps, Van de Water
said that he and Woodbridge would
investigate the possibility of sur
face drainage to hasten runoff of
the flood waters and prevent fur
ther seepage.
“It is obviously a waste of time,
effort and gasoline to pump out
basements that will refill almost
immediately1’ Van de Water said.
In one home, pumped out Sun
day, 8 inches of water had accum
ulated in the basement by Monday
and by Thursday it was three feet
deep. The firemen and air raid
wardens had worked three hours
to pump out this basement. Sim
ilar seepage was experienced in
nearly all of about 30 more homes
pumped out Sunday.
The Volunteer office of the Civ
ilian Defense Council has received
many calls during the week from
residents of the flood areas request
ing the free pumping service offer
ed by the firemen and air raid wa"
dens. Fire Chief O’Connor and
Chief Air Raid Warden Forest N.
Croxson urged them to be patient.
“These men are giving their
time and labor to this work as a
civic service. None is getting oald
for it by any one,” O’Connor said.
He also urged residents should be
present and aid the crews in this
work. In some instances, he sail,
they merely stand idly by as
though they were paying for tie
work.
SEEK SPACE TO HOUSE PUMP
AND SKID MOUNT UNITS
Space in private garages or gas
oline filling stations closed because
of gasoline rationing is being
sought by Fire Chief O’Connor,
chairman of the civilian defense
council’s fire and rescue service, lo
store the 48 trailer and skid mount
pump units the auxiliary firemen’s
organization now has on hand.
“We are asking owners to vol
unteer to furnish this storage space
free as a service to the city,” O’
Connor said. “We would like to
secure such storage locations in
widely scattered sites all over the
city, as the equipment would than
be most quickly available for use
in emergencies.”
He requested that anyone wish
ing to furnish such storage space
should call his office, Harney 3727.
NEW EQUIPMENT RECEFVED
FOR OCD. CORPS
"With 345 firemen’s coats receiv
ed Thursday and 19,200 feet of 2 V2
inch fire hose arriving earlier this
week, property valued at about
$100,000 is now on hand for Use of

EDUCATION AFTER THE WAR
WE INSTRUCT THE AXIS
No less a person than Henry W.tl
lace Vice-President of the United
States has asserted that the United
Nations must undertake the re-ed
ucation of Germany after the war
so that never again will that coun
try disturb the peace of the world,
This is a highly interesting pro
p- sal to say the least. It presup
poses that the United States of A
merica and the British Empire ill
perhaps supply tc.achers or estab
lish the curricula for the schools
and colleges of Germany and Japan
There will be difficulties of lan
guage of course but they can be
overcome. But there are other dif
ficulties which might prove embar
rassing—say for instance when the
American or English professor op
ens his seminar we will say in Ber
lin or Tokyo and begins to incul
cate the great principles of democ
racy into the minds of the mis
guided young Aryans of Germany
or the stubborn little Mongolians of
Japan.
We can imagine the following j
scene in a classroom:
American Professor: “The-idea of
a superior race is wrong. Jeffer
son, the author of the American
Declraation of Independence pro
nounced the only true principle of
human relationship, “All men are
created equal and endowed by their
creator with certain inalienable
rights, and among these are life,
liberty and the pursuit of happin
ess!
Student: Does this include the
Hindus and the Negroes too?
Professor: This includes every
human being on the face of the
earth.
Student: Is this the policy that
the great democracies follow?
Professor: Errr, Yes. This is
the principle which guides them
and which must guide you in the
future.
Student: I once read a book by
an American called ‘‘The Rising
Tide of Color” and if I recall cor
rectly the author advocated the
suppression of the aspiration of the
colored peoples in India and Afri
ca, even in Japan, as defense for
the preservation of white civiliz
ation.
Professor: This idea has now
been discredited and the theory a
bandoned for the most part.
as headquarters of the auxiliary
fire and rescue corps. A loud
speaker, ticker an dbell alarm sys
tems are being installed.
Evidence that the lock on the
building was tampered with Sunday
night prompted Walsh to warn
that this property is protected un
der federal law writh severe penal
ties for theft or property damage.

Professor: In the main—er—a —
yes. Of course there are s°me mal
adjustments which still exist but—

they are ready they will receive it.
Student: How will they know

Student: Do they still have lyn:-h

Professor: That is not the sub

dealing with principles.
Student: Is the Negro really e'
qual to the white man?
Professor: In a way—er—a —
physically I would say there is
little difference—but intellectually
I believe mental tests and history
will show that the Negro is an in
ferior race.
Stujdent: (cautiously)—Then you
believe in racial superiority—
Professor: Of course, we of the
white race are superior to the Ne
gro, but that does not justify op
pression or exploitation.
Student: Has the Negro really
contributed anything to civilizat

Professor: In America quite a
