THE SAN FRANCISCO CONFERENCE
The worst that can bo said of the San
Francisco Security Conference is llial it
may fail in its one objective—to lay the
foundations for a world peace and the
elimination of world waj'S. There will l)e
many difficulties to be overcome if this
goal is to bo accomplished. 'I'liore are
fears, open and half concealed, among
the participants. There are jealousies, riv
alries, ambitions, mistrusts. Thei'e are
mental reservations. And above all is the
p.sychological hazard shared many inside
the conference—the belief that a perman
ent peace is impossible.
Despite all the handicaps to a successful
conclusion of the conference, that is. the
setting up of an organization and the e.s-
tablishment of priniples which will pre
serve the peace of the world, there are
two things which offer more hope than
ever before in the history of internatiotjal
conferences.
One is that the world is by way of real
izing that the next war. should there be
another, would be so devastating and aw
ful as to threaten the extinction on the
human race. -Modern wa»s cost the victoi-s
far more than the wai*s of the nineteenth
centuiy cost the vanquished. N'o known
combination of power guarantees the bel
ligerents on cither side from widespread
ruin, involving combatant atul non-tom-
batat, materials of war and tools of peace
alike. Neutrality of individual tiations i.s
less and le.ss possilile. and even when I'O-
Kolutely followed assures no safety.
The other hopeful thing alxmt this con
ference is the clear recognitioij on the
part of all that peace must l)e waged. .A
peaceful world from henceforth will be
a world which lecogni/.es tliat aggre.ssion
cannot be controlled by sermons, or by
pious mouthings of i)acifism. or by senti
mental talk about good will. The evil of
which man is capable, de.;pite “civiliza
tion,” has been all loo apparent in this
war, and in the events that led up to it.
j There is no security', for. any apart from
aj collective secbiity; and that security
can be as.sured only if the peace-loving
nations are ready and willing to crack
down in a positive way against aggre.s-
.si>n as it emerges; ready and willing to
s^ck together and invoke coileetivi- fon o
problem is this: What are the graduates
of these colleges going to do when they
leave school ?
It has alway.s been easier to raise dol
lars for Nc'gro education than to fimi nn-
ployment foi* tiained persons, 'fhe train
ing is entirely nece.s.sary, and is in need of
mucli iminovenient; but the other (jnes-
lion still confronts us. With the best of
training, what ai*e the.y to do? What step.s
are being taken to open presently closed
avenues of eniplo.^nenl to tht» graduate.^
of our public and private colleges?
Outside of the schoolroom, public em
ployment of trained Negi’oes in X o r t h
Carolina is limited to a handful. There i.s
no I’eason to suppose that any real con
sideration has been giveji by .state offici
als to the idea of broadening the »ppor-
tunities for employment of N’egroe.s in
public sei’vice. There is little evidmice that
Negro educator.s am! leaders are a great
deal more .seriously cmcerned with the
idea.
One must avoid being accused of look
ing a gift hoj-sc In the mouth: but how
many of tliose, north and south, who con
tribute to the higlior education tif Ne
groes, are willing hire one of its products
in a position above a menial ine? Mow
many have ever thought of the matter?
More pertinenll.v, how many have ever
had the matter brought clearly to their
attention ?
Our educational deficiencies are still
important, and we still need money for’
our institulifins, botli private and public;
but the time has come wIm-ii some al-
terrtion must l)e centered orr tin* necessity
pr-oviding (-mployment op|)oi’tu!iities
commensurate with th(‘ education and
ti’aining of the gr’(»wing numlx'r' of well-
equipped Negr’oes.
'I'lie logical points of I'nlr-y are (1) pub
lic scr\ice. and (2) tlio.si- putenliai ern-
ploxers who by tlioir iriter-c.sl in .Negro ed-
ucatiorr ha\e indicate that they would
be most operr-minded to some discus.‘'iorr as
to what use is goirrg to bf‘ rrtadi' f*f that
education.
A CAUTION
De.cpite the ob\it>us truth of many of
the things they say, .Negro visitor’s .and
speakers fronr the Noj’th are often .so
lactle.s.s in their appioaclr a.s lo defeat the

Two ncw.spaper storie.s last week painted up the popular ex
pression of reaetjonary prejudice and at once official recognition
of the existence of this prejudice which according to some high
officials is not a part of the Armed Forces of the United States.
The first case as reported by Harry McAlpin has to do ■with
a telephone operator at a sports arena voicing the spirit of the
reactionary attitude when she broke into a telphone conversation
concerning discncinatory practices at the arena and told the ob
jecting party not to "forget Roosevelt is dead.”
The occasion for the impolite intrusion was provided when a
Mrs. Harper Fortune, wife of one of the high ranking Negroes in
the War Manpower Commssion sought infor/iiation regarding tlie
possibility of a Negro's attending a lodeo affair at the arena which
seeks Negro patronage at prize fight* but refuses admission to Nc-
groe.s at .skating shows, hockey games and the like.
"Wi- do not admit colored,” she was told by the ticket clerk.
When this policy was confirmed by the manager -Mrs. Fortune
wanted to know the reason. She was told "Because you are black."
"Doet t)ial mean because I am black you don't want my money"
Mrs. Fortune asked.
"Black is black, isn’t it?" was the retort.
And then the impolite, overanxiou.s. dyed-in-the-wool race ad
dict switchboard operator interrupted to say "Don't forget. Roos:*-
velt is dead."
In that breath in the Nation's Capitol was an almost blasphem
ous attempt to villify the name of the man who sought lo do good
for the common man, poor whites of the ojjeralor's .silk and N«-groes
alike.
Such an incident would moan nothing if it wen* .an isolated case.
Bui it is ntjt even one »)f a few, Wid« spread is this altitude of peo
ple who would rather see .Mr. Roosevelt dead if he bad to help
Negroes while he was helping them.
While many of u-s havi* known this fact the Armed Forces at
la.st adinhti'd recognition of it wlun last week the War Depart
ment disiniss«*d charges against 101 Negro flying officer-s who had
been arrested at Freeman Field Ir.d., for refusing to sign a jim
crow order issued by Col. Robert R. Selway. Jr. It wxs reported
by an oljserver that the arn-its had l.-een pn-dicted upon "an invalid
and WTong order of the field commander."
This is the third case in rer.-nt weeks in which officials of the
Armed Forces have overruled ramhunctions officers ’A-tio would
perpetuate jimerowLsm in these United States in the name of the.%e
United Slates, de.spitc nffictal instiuctions that there should be n-i
discrimination.
It mu.st have b*en clear to the higher officials that there had
been a rampant and rank tlisregard of the dignity of the individu
al and of a .-loldier. sailor, or WAC fighting for this nation for the
powers that be to iiverlook insubordination or so-calletl mutiny
and reputliute thei'eby an officer who was prejudic»*d and wrong.
Usually when a Negro is involved the* white officer is supported
whether or not he U wrung.
Bui incideiitly no riots have rrs'ilted from the overruling of
the officers and establishing justice for abu-sed Negroes. Rather.
Negroes have bt*en given an opportunity to believe more firmly
in thi* Army or Navy in which they fight. And this is as it should be.
AH of this suggests that if right and ju.stic«- are imposed from
the highesf in our midst those who are of the switchboard t^e-
rator's type will come to know tha: according to the laws of God
justice is meant for all men. And when there is a popular recog
nition of this fact, even if it has descend from the hierachy to those
beneath, the economic, social and political discriminations will no
ionger exist.
Perhaps it was the power strength and spirit of Franklin Del
ano Roosevelt that caused the high officials to administer justiQp
in the proper way. It is our ferven* wish that this strength, power
and spirit will descend to bring retribution to the petty officers
who keep prejudices alive and to narrow minded switchboard op
erator-. whu are so blinded bv their passions that they can not see
WHICH Jiiun
tion,” has been all too apparent in this
war, and in the events that led up to it.
. Tliere is» no security.for any apart from
aj collective s’ecCimy; and that security

nations are ready and willing to crack
dbwn in a po.sitive way ajfain.st aKure.s-
sfon as it emerges; ready itud willlnK-to
s^ck together and invoke collective force
t(i head off somothing worse.
• Because of these two facts the San
FVancisco Conference .starts off with a
greater will to find a solution for tlie prob
lem of war than has ever before existed
in the world. For the .same reason, in spite
of the great diffic a, it may make the
beginning of a soli n.
ANOTHER PROBLEM
I - It is a source of interest and of no little
^ride that both the chairman, Winthrop
W. Aldrich, and the vice-chairman, forni-
er Governor J, Melville Broughton, of the
United Negro College Fund, are natives
of the Tarheel State, It is of .some signifi
cance that the leadership in southern ed
ucation which North Carolina took about
a half century ago has borne so much
fruit.
The leadership of men like Aycock
and Mclver pr»*parcd the soil from which
an increasing harvest has been reaped
over the yeai’s. Not too many veal’s ago
it wold have been political death to a
public man in North Carolina to l>e active
on behalf of private Negro colleges,
founded mo.stly by “carpelliaggers” and
“fatialics” who thuuglil the N‘gi’0 to be
w’orthy of and capable of higlior educa
tion.
Certainly the jol) is not fini.shod. But
in retrospect the progre.s.s is inipi-o.s.sive.
and the prospects are bright.
There is another .side to the prominence
of an ex-governor in tlie United .N'egn*

A CAUTION
Despite the obviiius truth of many of
the thing.s they say, Negrt) visitors and
speakers from the North are often so
tactless in their approach a.s lo defeat the
po.ssibilily uf rrmking their niaxiinurn con
tribution when speaking lo southern Ne
gro audiences.
t’nwai’ily they often permit an uncon
scious implication of theii’ superiority lo
crop out in their utterances; overtones of
pity creep in. Pity for* the poor southern
er’. It is (iuite likely that Tarheels speak
ing in South Carolina or Mississippi
would do much the same thing.
What even* intelligent Negro realizes
i.s that the situation of the Negro in the
Noi’th is in many re.spect.s much belter
than that of his southern brother; but he
also realizes that Negroes North and South
have much more in common than they
have to differentiate them. The "race
problem” is national; even international.
It varies sectionally only in detail and in
degi’ee.
Divisive elements should be scrupul
ously avoided by both northern and south
ern Negroes. We are all in the same boat,
even though some may be on deck and
others down in the hold. Fundamentally,
we all realize this, but sornetim*s some
of us speak or wr’ite in such ;i wa.v as to
leave tin* inipi’r-.ssiurr that "'o dfin’t.
DROP IN
Governor Clieji-y’s instructions to lire
n*wly appointed Board of Conti’ol f o i’

for lh(* insane sliould lie inafle without
pre\ioiiK announcement, and tliat the cn-
lir {ilants and exei-ylliing about tire hos
pitals should be examined on such visit.*-.
It is only natural that thosr* in cnai’gi*
should make some special jrreparutiotis
for announced visits. Wlio wouldn’t? W.*
are all prone to but our best foot forenio.st
if we have the chann* to do so. But if tho.s«*
who are charged with the duty of inspec
tion really want to know what conditions
arc from day to day under *rdinary eircumstanr-

"Social equality" is a nice,
