G. McGinnis ociety is m arching sw iftly tow ard a tragic racial con flict. The dem and for racial justice, denied discussion at the Paris Peace Conference ending the first World War, is steadily increasing. The w orld’s colored peoples are be coming acutely aw are of the justice due them. This time, when the peace planners gather, the Chinese, Filipinos, and other Asiatic peoples will be loud in their demands for race equality. The nations which boast most loudly about their leader ship in democracy are the very ones which m aintain exclu sion laws and practice race bigotry. The U. S., Canada, A ustralia, New Zealand, and the Union of South Africa have put up bars against Asiatics ,although recently the U. S. did decide to adm it a thin yearly trickle of Chinese. !ADDRESS THEM Y f While the question of race equality in w orld politics A rm y p aratro o p ers w ere p rac be stealing.

This pleased many of the European statesm en for one reason only; they w ere highly cynical concerning American u tte r ances about the n atu ral rights of man. They enjoyed seeing the American representatives squirm at this unexpected development. Surely, they exclaimed to one another glee fully, a delegation which offers a resolution calling for religious tolerance could not refuse to accept an am endm ent calling for racial tolerance! Obviously, the Americans couldn’t do th at and rem ain consistent. So they w ithdrew the resolution on religious tolerance! This autom atically killed the Japanese amend m ent. Nor w ere the Japanese perm itted to offer a resolution on racial tolerance. The B ritish delegation checked all attem pts to bring up the m atter, giving as its reason the fact th at even a most vague declaration would raise serious disturbances w ithin the British Commonweath of Nations. This was obviously true, for A ustralia’s prem ier vowed heatedly th a t should the race resolution pass, he would appeal directly to the race prejudices of the people of the U. S. and the Dominions. The fact th at this th reat caused the American and British leaders to refuse all fu rth er discussions of the m atter proves how strongly they felt th at race prejudice existed w ithin their respective nations. No doubt the Versailles incident played a m ajor role in Jap an ’s subsequent campaign to organize all Asia against the w hite race. As her agents w ent through Asia, and even throughout Africa, they had plenty of undeniable facts at th eir disposal. Everyw here they w ent they fanned the flames of racial hatred. To millions of Asiatics, Japan appeared in the role of the savior of the w orld’s colored peoples. Even American voluntary preparation of the Filipinos for independence lost much value in Asiatic eyes w hen the Japanese pointed out th a t American officers in the Philippines had excluded Filipinos from th eir clubs. To this they added hundreds of ta 1os concerning the treatm ent accorded American Negroes by th eir w hite fellow countrym en. N autrally, they never failed to enlarge upon the refusal of the peace planners at Versailles to make even the most general declaration concerning the rights of peoples not w hite. Since colored peoples have instinctively the same ideas of freedom as whites, it should not be difficult to imagine (Continued on page 8) The nice old lady sm iled at th e little girl w ho had been left in charge of th e cake shop. “D on’t you som etim es feel tem p ted to e at one of th e cream puffs, m y d ear?” she asked.
