SECRETARY WALLACE IS RIGHT

President Truman cannot blow hot and cold at the same
time with respect to first, appreving Secretary of Commerce
Wallace's speech, then, when opposition is made to his speech
to change his posilion. Secretary Wallace was correct in warn
ing his country that w~: with the Soviet Union. could be avoided |
if America and Russia could come to some understanding. |
The Secretary, who is perhaps the most liberal mind in Ameri- |
ican public life today cannot recede from the high ground that
he has taken: The common man everywhere is on the march
and. the country that is in-a position to make his pathway to
progress easiest will be the nation to which he will listen.
America has the 2rectest oppertunity for world leadership th..t
it has ever had:in the history of our existence as a nation, but
as the Secretary warns, we cannot afford to link this leadership
with British imperialism by defending England in its s~nister
practices in dealing with what Kipling, their poet, called ~those
of lesser breeds.~ True, the Secretary's clear analys~s of the
situation may not be in keeping with the narrow conception of
~our Secretary of State who in his Stuttgart speech assumed
the role of a dictator which all liberals throughout the world
_deplore. The war-weary people of the world want peace built
upon justice and a high!regard for human values. America
through its Monroe Doctrine and its belief in democracy completely controls the Western Hemisphere. its Dollar Diplomacy kas penetrated into the life of the smallest republic in the
Western Hemisphere and the democracy practiced in these republics south of us.is what American Dollar Diplomacy dictates so that the Dominican Republic is ruled by a dictator under American protection.:
American gunboats act as the guardian of the peace of
many of these governments that the people would overthrow
if given the right to use the democratic process.

Russia is not interfering with tke contro] of this continent.
It is therefore our opinion that America should mind her own
business and let Russia mind her own business within the sphere
of her influence. We must do business with Russia, we must
seek to understand Russia and Russia must seek to understand
us. os,

Yes, Secretary Wallace was right and the American people
are with him in his warning. Our ~~get-tough-policy~~ with Russia will lead ultimately in war. Let us have peace through
justice and ~

SENTENCE SERMONS

By REV. FRANK. CLARENCE LOWRY
(For ANP)

Faith, by you, has not been fully tried until all of its ene
mies you have survived.

Men of little faith don~t see, what they afterwards know,
until through the fire they have had to go.

Things then that once appeared as dreams and falacies |

later become strong and -faséinating realities.

The proof of your faith and indomintable courage is wher:

you can stand fast while others discourage.

The possessor of faith looks for something he scarecly

sees but works out the balance upon his knees.
The child of faith does not fear when his compass fa/ls,

for he knows he will be guided aright and that the greater of

the elements is able to protest his soils.
Faith, enables a troubled heart to lean on God and in
eech trial, make a new start.

The faithful christian does things differently, but to God
and man always remains the same, and friendly.

Faith doesn~t always work without tears, but it does prove
a mighty power in the destruction of fears.

Faith makes one go on when the way looks too hard and
long~ it continues to say. ~go on, be strong.~

Faith helps one to forget human frailty and discounts every apparent impossibility.. The Aspostle Paul having run the gamut of a christian
life, brings to a climax his noble achievements as he writes: ~I
have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have
kept the faith.~

BAPTISTS IN PILGRIMAGE ~
TO LYNCH VICTIMS GRAVES

MONROE, Ga.~(ANP)~
Several groups of delegates attending the National Baptist
Convention in Atlanta last
week made pilgrimages to the
graves of the victims of ~the
Walton County _ lynchings.
Graveside rites were held.

Pennsylvania Baptists, headed by Dr. Leonard George
Carr, and the Rev. Bertram E.
Barton, national commander
of National Baptist veterans,
led the pilgrimage to the grave
of George Dorsey, veteran of
World War II. Included in the
group were Dr. Henry T. McCrary, pastor of Tasker Street
Baptist Church, Philadelphia;
Dr. C.~H. Church, pastor of
North Penn Baptist Church,
Philadelphia; Dr. David B.
Banks, pastor of New. Shiloh
Baptist, chairman of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention; Dr.
Aaron Mackley. pastor of Mt.

now citizens.~

Olive Baptist Church, Arlington, Va., Mrs. Carrie Cunningham, and James Williams, of
Dan Young, local funeral
director, escorted the party to
the cemetery and to the scene
of the crime where a short service was held.;
The Rev. Mr. McCrary, in

an impressive ceremony, sought

divine guidance in the setting
up of a feeling of kinship
among men throughout the nations and the world.

~We are here for we believe
that the four victims did not
die in vain,~ said Dr. Carr,
~for their death has set in motion a movement that will
bring greater justice for*~all humanity.

Continuing, Dr. Carr said:
~~We came to place a wreath on
this grave because we believe
that there is still hope for that
democracy for which George
Dorsey fought and to dedicate
ourselves to see that the child
of Roger Malcolm will have a
better opportunity for an education so that he might exemvlify the sires of freedom of
these martyrs.~

As he placed the wreath ~on
Dorsey's grave, Dr.. Barton
said:

~On this hallowed ground ]
place this wreath on the grave
of Georee Dorsey in the name
of the National Baptist veterans, the Veterans committee
of Pennsylvania and of veterans everywhere with the
hope that men, women, children and unborn generations
may know that these four victims did not die in vain.~

Expansion for the National
Urban League movemertt was
shown today in the announcement by the League~s Board of

irectors of the addition of new
affiliates in Oklahoma and Colorado. The two new Leagues,
located in Oklahoma City and
Denver, extend the Urban Leagu? movement to 56 cities covering 29 states and the District
of Columbia, Serving ~ approximately 45 per cent of the Ur
ban Negro population in the
United States.
' Both affiliates have beer or
ganized with the cooperation of
recognized civic and social work
agencies and with the sponsorship of interested white and Negro citizens. Mr. George W. Ragand General Manager, Universal Company, and President of
the Negro Chamb2r of Commerce, is serving as chairman of
the Oklahoma City Urban League. Mr. William McGlone, Denver attorney, is chairman in
that city.:
_ In the arYnounc?ment, made by
Reginald Johnson, Director of
the,League~s Field Services, it
was noted that the Urban League cver the past decade ~has
shown a steady growth with
the addition of 23 affiliate cities
throughout the country, characterized by an increasing number of:western communities,

~This regional development,~
Johnson pointed out, ~is the result of the migration of more
than 250,000 Negroes to the west
durirmg the war, and the increasing awaren?ss by these ommunities of the necessity for expanding their social work programs
to cover the needs of these

the fact that requests for Urban

during the early part of 1947
