PEACE AND CHARITY
With troTrrndous military operations already
underway and* the eventual conquest ut the Nazi
horde assured, sober sense dictates that we plan,
and plan well, for the days that must follow to
morrows victory. It is true that many experts in
industry are building a bright new world in their
laboratories and many technological miracles are
awaiting the peace. Nevertheless, no great new
designs for social living have come to public notice.
No matter what oar scientists say, we know that
men cannot live by gadgets alone.
If we are to enjoy the fruits of our industrial
genius we are going to need international, inter
national and inter-group peace. The big three con
ference at Yalta, for all its merit, had of necessity
to concern itself with the relationships between the
vast land blocs and between the great national
groupings of the earth. The relationships between
minorities and the infinite groups which comprise
a nation have not yet won widespread attention.
Nevertheless we shall not be able to go very far
toward a permanent world peace until these intra
national difficulties are intelligently appraised and
justly resolved.
These so-called minor social problems are the
little acorns from which the big oaks of world con
flict and violence eventually grow. Thus world
peace like charity must begin at home. Some con
ception of the magnitude of the problem which con
front us may be gleaned from the concluding para
graphs of Walter Whites latest book “A Rising
[Wind.” Says Mr. White:
“The United States, Great Britain, France and
other Allied nations must choose without delay one
of the two courses to revolutionize their racial
concepts and practices, to abolish imperalism and
grant full equality to all of its people, or else pre
pare for World War 111. Another Versailles Treaty
providing for “mandates,” protectorates, ’ and other
devices for white domination will make such a war
inevitable. One of the chief deterrents will be
Russia. Distrustful of Anglo-American control of
Europe, many and perhaps all of the Balkan states
may through choice or necessity ally themselves
with Russia. If Anglo-Saxon practices in China
and India are not drastically and immediately re
vised, it is probable and perhaps certain that the
people of India, China, Burma, Malaya, and other
parts of the Pacific may also move into the Russian
orbit as the lesser of two dangers.
“As for the United States, the storm signals
are unmistakable. She can choose between a
policy of appeasement of bigots—which course she
gives every indication now of following—and thus
court disaster. Or she can live up to her ideals
and thereby both save herself and help to avert an
early and more disastrous resumption of war.
“A wind is rising—a wind of determination by
the have-nots of the world to share the benefits of
freedom and prosperity which the haves of the earth
have tried to keep exclusively for themselves. The
wind blows all over the world. Whether the wind
develops into a hurricane is a decision which we
must make now andWthe days when we form the
peace.” s'
A TIMELY CALL
Last week a committee of Michigan citizens
representing organizations of importance through-j
out the state, colored and white, left a calling card
at the Governor’s oflice in Lansing. Unable to meet [
with Governor Kelly, the committee conferred with
his secretary and politely petitioned for some action
on fair employment legislation for Michigan. This
cross-section of the citizenry asked that the Gover
nor consider seriously the problem of job discrimi
nation and that he send a message to the legislature
urging the enactment of a sound fair employment
practice law for Michigan.
It is interesting to note that.the good Governor
has squarely committed himself to support such
legislation and that the Republican party, nation
ally and locally, has gone on record in support of
FEP legislation. The committee which called on
the Governors secretary was seeking to prod the
Governor’s memory and to remind him of his pledges
to the people of Michigan. Somehow our good citi
zens still continue to take campaign promises se
riously, despite many disappointments.
We believe that Governor Kelly* has an excel-,
lent opportunity now to overcome the growing
criticism which is greeting him from so many
quarters by taking a forthright position on an issue
EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE MICHIGAN CHRONICLE
which will affect the peace and progress of the
state in the post-war period. The right to work is
a civil right which should be taken for granted in
a democracy. Nevertheless, popular prejudices have
led to discriminatory practices among employers,,
and these practices have put a ceiling over the eco
nomic advancement of minority groups. This is
a palpable injustice, and it leads to unfortunate
racial conflicts.
We hope that Governor Kelly will rise to the
demands of this circumstance and call upon the
legislature to outlaw employment practices which,
if unchecked, are bound to stimulate racial strife
and destroy the unity we will need to win the war
and the peace. In taking this position the Governor
will he acting in best interests of all the people in
Michigan, regardless of color.
