WE, THE PEOPLE BY MARY McLEOD BETHUNE !> ' 1 1 "as riding in a train and became engaged in cas ual com*.- i i with an Englishwoman sitting opposite me. An airplane >u*i :• nly -wo*>|>ed low over our car, the drone of its engin es momentarily making further talk impossible, and I was shocked to see tliis woman cringe in fright and slide deep into her seat. She recovered herself instantly and, with an embarrassed laugh, explain ed that the sound still took her back to the days of the blitz and the robot bombs in London. The incident gave me food for thought. I recognized its im plication-. It * ame to me with a shook that there i9 scarcely a man or woman in the world today who does not carry some sear from this la-t horrible war. Even we, in America who did not suffer di rectly the devastations of war. bear our scars. I he sacrifice of 300,000 men and women to the conquest of j tyranny was bitterly painful. But it would be bearable if we could now believe that tyranny, bigotry and oppression are dead. They are not! It i- true that even before the war, we had more than our share of dis~< nsion and strife among racial and religious groups. They! were <:!* liberate! \ stirred up by malicious evil human beings who thrived on hat*- and could only foresee success for themselves through the servitude of others. When such tactics were exercised on an international scale, we went to war. Having fought that war to a vi* I rioiis * .oulu-ion, we were justified in feeling that the forc es of evil had temporarily, at least, been stopped in their tracks, j That they have not is the terrible scar we carry. Me. of our race, are anguished by the vicious intolerance that Mill prevails ii our country. Lynchings, threats, job discrimin at ion, ;> .II lav -tatutes, elections of public officials who thunder th* ir devotion tc the myth of white supremacy.those are not the things our veteran- h"[ied to come home to. But we are not the <*nlv vi. tims. In the end. all humanity will suffer, for our civiliz ati**u i not -< ■ tire and peace cannot endure until every human being on this closely knit globe is accorded his Godgiven rights to freedom and equality. Where then does the solution lie: Time alone will not erad icate such scars. Democracy will not suddenly descend upon the earth and purge it of evil. We, the people, must find the answer, and when we think we’ve found it, we must never stop working at it. As I have said many times before, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome by the strengtn of spirit and the power of will. We, the people, want a world in which men can stand and walk free. Our strength of spirit and power of will, our common cause and mutual interests are tremendous unifying forces. We, the people, must rally those forrces in support of the organization of fifty-one United Nations, whose delegates represent us, the plain people, and whose goal it is to bring a just, enduring peace to all mankind. Learn about the United Nations. Read its Charter. There’s a great deal in it that concerns folks like ourselves. For instance, the Human Rights provisions guarantiee to the people of the world the fundamental freedoms—freedom of assembly, freedom to wor ship as we will, freedom of speech, freedopi of the press. The Charter clearly states the “rearfirmation of faith in fundamental hu man rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women of nations arge and small,” and com mils the United Nations to promote “universal respect for an observ ance of “those rights and freedoms ‘,without distinction as to race, sex, language or reiligon.” These are fateful words. Realization of them will see the dawn of a new era for mankind. Let us work ceaselessly for their fulfillment. The General Assembly of the United Nations is meeting in New York on September 23d and in their honor, September 22—-28 has been proclaimed as United Nations W'eek. Americans from soast to coast are going to participate in welcoming this world par liament of peace to our country. But more is needed than our wel come. W’e, the people, must get behind the Lbiited Nations. -- - — i— . BLOOD DONORS Needed!

He is reported as doing ■•fair”, but is very much in need of Wood transfusions. Anyone wish ing to donate blood may do so by reporting to the St. Joseph's hos pital in his interest. WALTER WHITES ACTION SAVED INNOCENT LIVES NEW YORK. August 29th_It was disclosed at NAACV National Office today that the prompt act ion of Walter White, in urging Lt. Governor Fielding Wright to use his powers to avoid threatened lynching:, during the recent episode in Smith County. Missippi had un doubtedly saved many lives. A re liable source on the scene stated, "lie saved the lives of innocent Ne groes who no doubt would have been slaughtered wholesale”. According to the same source it was disclosed that the situation grew out of a fued among the whites due to labor conditions. Since then it has been fairly well ; established that the press was ac i tually guilty of gross misrepresen tation since the Negroes never fi ' red on either a car or upon the law enforcement officers as charged. Significantly, several Mississippi white men have been arrested in this connection recently. • /•or Greater Coverage Advertise in The Gl IDE I Oeorge Bernard ishaw once wit tily observed that “Kings are not born; they are made by universal hallucination". We can report at least one "monarch" who is an ex ception to the rule. He is "King Juda'* of Bikini. King Juda” owes his title, not to universal hallucination, but to the ignorance and racial arrogance of the US Navy and newsmen who covered the recent atom-bomb tests. Ad miral Blandy apparently just as sumed that Juda was a king. At any rate, the press described him patronizingly as a "dark-skinned short and muscular ruler" and Juda s fellow Bikinians as his 166 subjects' Actually Juda is no more a king or a ruler than I am. And if his fellow Bikinians heard themselves referred to as subjects, they would be quite incapable of comprehend ing the picture. Thev have never known what it is to be ruled over and the status of subjects is so alien to the easy dignity of their freedom that their nature is sim ply not susceptible to an under standing of what the term implies To understand the relation <=hio between Juda and his cnmn&nions requires at least a brief description mmk Afiles Nfrnue leads to relax nervous tension, to permit refreshing sleep.

It is a simple society but one in which the idea of government is already well developed. Its basis is primi tive communism and cooperation. There are no classes among these people, no private property, hence no need for police and courts and other instruments of coercion whereby, in civilized society, one class holds another class in sub jection. As for Juda, he is a chief. He wasn’t born a chief, as is so gen erally and erroneously assumed by civilized people when speaking oftribal societies. He was elected democratically by the adult mem bers of the group. He was elec ted chief because his fellow Bik-. kinians respect his judgement and I character and he will remain their' chief as long as he retains their I respect. For the council which raised him up can also strip him of his office. I make the point not merely to exnose the racial arrogance of the Navy brass and newsmen. After '>•!. not many citizens of imper mlist powers escape indoctrination long these lines. And the belief is fairly general that dark-skin ned people are inherently unfit for -elf-government . . leastwise until tbev have first enjoyed the bles ings of the white man’s benevo ’ent tutelage. Being purblind thru ignorance and arrogance, it is un derstandable that the admirals and their publicity agents should sim nlv interpret .Tuda’s relationship *o his tribe in terms of their own exDeriences and limited knowledge. I make the point mainly because i think it worthwhile to remem ber that allour ancestors passed through the stage of social devel opment reached by Juda’s tribe. Among primitive men the idea of ovemment developed over tens thousands of years. What is more, whether it was the pre-his toric Greeks or Romans, the Nor oics. the American aborigines, Af ricans or Polynesians, the idea of government developed along de (Maher-Kelleher | Insurance Agency I Citate.

The democracy of primitive so ciety was destroyed bv the disco very and growth of the idea and institution of prvate property and the consequent division of society into classes of exploiters and ex ploited, of masters and slaves. In its place rose the political State v-Hch Karl Marx so aptly descri bed as the executive committee of the ruling class. And kings appear ed. end subjects. It is important to under: tanr how the idea of government evcb'ed. It is important to understand how the genius of primitive man, be ginning with zero experience, de veloped a democracy never equal ed by mod~rn men. It is im o tant to understand this, not only be cause it eives the mind “weep and freedom by proving that soc ial institutions grow like organi sms, but also because it is conclu sive proof of man's ability to ad minister his owrn affairs. In other words, the fact that primitive man achieved a workable democracy gives the lie to those who assert that man c-n never be trusted to rule himself. Will modem man ever achieve a real and authentic 3"5-days-ayear I democracy" ~ think the answer is | ‘yes’.

THE COMMON DEFENSE (by Rev. William C. Keman) LET’S HAVE MORE OF THIS There may have been a time in recent years when not too many Christian clergymen were aware of the dangers to our country stemming from bigotry and pre judice. But that time is rapidly passing, .if it hasn’t passed away altogether. A good example of the alertness of Christians to the threat presen ted by the forces of prejudice to the security and peace of our free society came only this June from the Rev. John Safran, Methodist minister in Marysville, Michigan. As told in TIME for July 1st, the Rev. Safran was addressing a high school graduating class and had the courage to depart from the platitudes often common to such occasions to remind his audience that some things in this land were not what they ought to be. “We refuse to face race pro blems”, he declared. “There are 13 million American Negroes who are only enjoying a second-rate citi zenship .. And we don’t have to look to the deep south to find peo ple who believe in the supremacy of the White race”. He found some sore spots in his own community, pointed them out with unrelieved candor, and concluded that if his hearers were really interested in the Kingdom of God they could do something about it by being fair and just to the Negroes who lived nearby. Nor is this all. Mr. Willard John f9Kn'xt0 the President of the NEW YORK TIMES in which he drew attention to the fact that while we hear a good deal about the revival of the Ku Klux Klan, we do not hear so much about the counter-movement. And the counter-movement, Mr. Johnson remarked, has strong: champions among the clergy. “Clergvmen of Atlanta denounced the Klan in scathing tones” he wrote. “So did the clergy of Knoxville, Miami, pnd a dozen other cities where Klan actiyitv has been reported The Southern Bantist Convention largest denomination in the south, rpc^t'v <v~^ned participation of Christians in any hate move ment. Well said. weI1 done Lgfg have more of it! 'Vhat Is It We Do Want? BY RUTH TAYLOR Do we really want peace? Do we want security? Do we want prosperity ? Do we want a chance to live our own lives in our own way? No, this is NOT an article again st war. It is not against anything except selfishness. For. if we could lick selfishness in men and nations we could master any and every trouble that besets us. We cannot ENFORCE peace, either in industrial or in interna tional relations. But if men honest ly want peace they can have it. ►'o'-ause they will put aside selfish interest to achieve the large goal. A lawyer friend of mine tells me he always starts out by trying to make his client see his opponent’s side of the case. That once he -1 succeeds in this, he generally can make the opponent see the client’s side, .and the solution that comes put of a mutual understanding of each other’s position is peaceful and permanent. Personally I think that is a fine way to handle any problem. But how to go about it ? First, we have to be motivated by a sincere de sire to find a solution to our dif ficulties, to do away with points of disagreement. We have to act as we intended to live together in peace. This does not mean “giving in’’ or “appeasing”. We have to stand firm for principle, and not compro mise or shilly shally. If we do, we will find ourselves blosked off in to a corner where we have to fight just because we didn’t make our position clear in the first place. Next we have to consider our opponent’s side, and see if we do not agree with some of his views. Once having found these points of agreement, then we can honestly and fairlvy work out a solution to see that it will be just to both There is no peace of any kind that will last unless it is founded upon absolute justice. Over four hundred years ago a great judge said, “Reason is the life of the law nay the common law itself is nothing else but reason”. But how often do we stay reasonable after we get into an argument? We go into it with a mental chip on our shoulder, just looking for trouble. We say we want peace.. but do we If we do—as individuals, as a nation, we will work FOR it, not AGAINST it. We can'Tiave peace.. both at home and abroad. The de cision is up to us. What is it we DO want? Our own way, or a fair deal for EVERY one? The Waiter’s Column By H. W. Smith Mr. Earl Jones enjoyed a fine vacation at his old home in Mo.

(CNS)_ You’d be surprised, no shocked, to actually sit down and listen to the amount of talent teen agers have nowadays.. These young Americ ans really seem to know their stuff and, in this postwar period, a flock of them are appearing on the big ^cene to grab some of that fame that's floating around but which is none too easy to grasp—and to keep hold to! Their talent is so fresh and unpampered that the road to their goal seems almost clear to the finish.. We have in mind, as a case, little Sugarchile Robinson. Of course the 7 year old wonder boy is no teenager, .but think how much greater he’ll be when he reaches the stage! And there’s the little older Mabel Fair banks (one year out of her teens) who just got her big break last week as a star of the coming “Hol lywood On Ice”.. Two weeks ago Cab Calloway bought to the stage of the Lewis ohn Stadium at the Isaac Wood ard Benefit Rally, a teen age boy who sat down to the piano and nlayed Chopin's Polonaise (like In the movies) Cab didn’t even know the boy’s name.. He had heard him play around at the Zanzibbar Cafe when he went work that nite and was so astonished he thought he'd bring him up to the benefit. In the band field, wre have a po tential hot saxophone player in 16 year old Andy Kirk, Jr. who has wen recorded a bit with his own band of boys. He’ll play a few weeks in his father’s orchestra during his vacations in school.

Promotion and advancement aren’s to he compared with the older school. Last week, we sat down m Car negie Hall and listened to a new bunch of kids (194 in all) from over the nation.
