Wise, Presi dent of the American Jewish Con gress, wrote to Chancellor S. P. Ca pen, President of the Association of Colleges and Universities of State of New York, suggesting that the mem bers of the association cease to re quest photographs from prospective students. Dr. Wise enclosed with his letter a report by Dr. Stuart W. Cook, Direc tor of the Commission on Community Inter-relations of the American Jew ish Congress, presenting conclusive scientific evidence that it is impossible to judge intelligence, personality traits or academic aptitude by photo graphs. Dr. Cook pointed out that in , most cases the judges who attempted to determine intelligence from photo graphs did little better than when they shuffled the pictures blindfolded. “Since it is naive to believe,” Dr. Wise wrote, “that the ranking educa tors of the colleges and universities of New York are unaware of the lack of correlation between intelligence, per sonality traits or academic aptitude and judgments of such qualities based on photographs, we wonder whether the colleges and universities which re quire the submission of a photograph with an application for admission are using such photographs for the pur pose of weeding out Negro appli cants; or for the purpose described by Dr. Charles O. Warren of Cornell Medical School when he testified on October 7, 1946 before the Special Investigating Committee of the Coun cil of the City of New York, that the members of the Admissions Commit tee of the medical school used the photograph of the applicant to ‘make a guess’ as to his religion.” Dr. Wise concluded: “It is apparent that any need which the colleges or universities may have for photographs of their students for identification pur poses could be satisfied by requiring accepted applicants to supply such photographs when registering at the college or university. “Since Section 40 of the Civil Rights Law prohibits discrimination in colleges and universities because of j race, creed, color or national origin, and since the State Commission Against Discrimination has ruled that' requiring an applicant for employ ment to submit a photograph is un lawful under Section 131 (3) of the Executive Law (Law Against 'Dis crimination), we are calling upon you to suggest to the member schools of i your association that they cease to re quest that candidates for admission submit photographs at the time of filing their application forms.” The eighteen New York State col I leges with enrollment of 500 or more which, according to a study made by Action of the American Jewish Con CHURCH NEWS Hillside Presbyterian services are' being held at the Sharon Seventh Day Adventist Church, 2760 Lake Street every Sunday morning at 11:00 a. m.

In my husble opinion, this is a screwy way to “save democracy.” It s like “saving souls” by encouraging sinfulness and vice. Of course, Mr. Truman says it’s "democracy*’ that must be saved strictly for propaganda purposes. What he and Mr. Vandenburg and the American plunderbund want saved are the material, political and strate gic interests of Anglo-American capi talism. And the ogre they want to save tnese interests trom is nu»uu State capitalism. So, let’s keep straight on this. The United States is stepping into Britain’s shoes as the world’s number-one, club swinging cop, not to “save democ ' racy,” but to keep Russia out of the ^ Mediterranean, to protect the Middle East oil concessions of Standard Oil, and otherwise to expand and enhance American imperialist interests. This represents a new and perilous course for American foreign policy, and one that is loaded with portents. It will, of course, not end with Greece and Turkey. Britain has several “com mitments” which has present anemic condition will compel her to relin quish, and, as she does relinquish them, the United States will take over. Militarism will flourish under this policy as though in a hothouse. I From a nation which for generations has represented the civiliing influence ^of independence, the United States t bids fair to become the symbol of ' imperialism and aggression. I To examine just one of the portents of the Truman policy, let us suppose that the dreams of American capital ism are fulfilled and the present cen tury becomes in fact “the American century.” How would this affect the working class? One effect would surely be to cre ate further divisions in labor s ranks. In the words of Lonin, “Imperialism has the tendency to create privileged sections even among the workers, and to separate them from the main pro letarian masses.” Such privileged sec tions easily succumb to the spirit of spread-eagle aggressiveness. These be come, in turn, the evangels of the philosophy that Americans are the earth’s “chosen people” — WHITE Americans, that is—and that it is the country’s “manifest destiny” to police the world. Make no mistake about it! A sharp rise in nationalist prejudice would in evitably be accompanied by a rise in racial prejudice. And the conviction that it is moral and democratic to kick folks around in other lands will certainly not help to discourage the lynch spirit at home. The familiar argument is. of course, that if America doesn’t move into Greece and Turkey with money, tech nicians and military missions, the Sta linists klil take over and institute a one-party dictatorship. I agree. Like American imperialism, Russian im perialism is on the march. What I do NOT agree with is the conclusion that the only alternative to allowing Soviet Russia to expand is for the United States to take over Britain’s old job of policing her empire. We must all of us understand that this knotty problem is one ot many produced by a social system in disso lution. If wre understand this, then we will perceive immediately that it has no real solution within the capitalist system. And that what is urgently needed in this country is for the work ers to put an end to the deadly game of imperialist grab by taking matters out of the hands of the labor-skinning class and building a workers’ indus trial republic.
